lots of funny people here who dont know anything about bodybuilding.
First of all let me clear it that almost no-one does 15 reps. Thats for stamina and not strength.
5 reps is not for mass. Its for strength gain + higher muscle density leading to harder muscles not bigger muscles.
8 reps is like strength-size. Its more balanced but the strength gains are slower.
10-12 reps are hypertrophy. More for size and less for strength.
There is no ideal rep number. Depends on what your aiming for. Power lifters do 1-5 reps usually while bodybuilders do in the 7-8+ range.

And diet is more important than the exercise. You should aim to eat atleast 1 gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight.
And for cutting you should aim for the strength maintenance. So the 5 reps program is ideal.
If you want to increase all your lift numbers the fastest way is the 5 rep (low rep) way.


And any one can have the 'professional body" provided he works out hard enough, long enough and eats a proper diet.


Good tip: Anyone who is serious about bodybuilding should go to bodybuilding.com forums.

if u want to gain weight eat more than your maintenance calories (doesn't matter what you eat but of course a high protein balanced diet is preferable).
http://www.muscleandstrength.com/tools/bmr-and-daily-calorie-calculator.html this will give you a rough idea of how many calories you need per day.
www.fitday.com not as useful in Pakistan but still good.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
