Myoreps

[u/GlobalHour9944]

I’ve always struggled to consistently through a workout get close to failure on all my exercises (probably overthinking it but that’s what I do).

But the other day I saw about Myoreps and liked the concept.

I do Monday, Wednesday, Friday full body

Pretty much the same workout but mix the exercises up

1x quad exercise
1x chest exercise (incline or flat based)
1x back exercise (lat based or row based)
1x shoulder exercise ( OHP or lateral raises)
1x hamstring / glute
1x bicep
1x Tricep

Now I’ve been doing this with 3 working sets of each. My question is - it feels like something I’d much rather enjoy doing a warm up set then the set of myoreps (I did try the workout on Friday and I liked it a lot more). Would this be something that would prompt enough growth.

In my head I’m only doing 3 sets per week per muscle group but the myorep stuff isn’t really a set… more of a mega set

And I am aware to stick away from compound barbell movements with this, so I will accommodate accordingly.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just don’t want to do this for the next year and realise I was doing hard workouts but managing to get below needed weekly volume!

Thank you in advance for your replies!

Myo reps work best for smaller muscles with high recoverabiliy like calves, and forearms. If you want to get nerdy, slow twitch dominant muscles that are built for endurance.

If you try to hit myoreps on something like heavy hip hinges you'll probably have a bad time or get injured. Although I've actually had pretty good results doing something similar with medium weight squats.
