Seems like I just need to go up in weight again. Expensive... Grr.
My sets are currently 20 reps and I do it 3 times usually. Could go 5 times if I'm feeling serious about it. When I started, it was usually failure at 6 reps.
The standard lifting regime was made popular by men on steroids like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Working out too often actually hurts muscle gain. The fitness industry is a fiat psyop like most other things.

You gotta slow it down. You don’t need to go super heavy. That’s actually dangerous and increases risk for injury. Also bad for your joints. Look up Jay Vincent on YouTube and watch how he does his sets.
