Bilbo Method summarized:
The Bilbo Method is an effective method for gaining strength and increasing muscle mass.
With it you can achieve incredible results.
The Bilbo Method consists of performing a single set of explosive repetitions with a weight between 40% and 70% of the maximum repetition (RM).
The Set should be performed as fast as possible, without reaching muscle failure.
This method is very effective for gaining strength and muscle mass.
I myself have been able to bench press240 kilos with the Bilbo Method.
When training with the Bilbo Method it is important to follow the progression carefully and not to rush to increase weight. It is also important to get enough rest between workouts to allow the muscles to recover.
The Bilbo Method can be adapted to different objectives. For example, for people preparing for competitive examinations, it may be more appropriate to perform a progression with a fixed weight and a decreasing number of repetitions.
Tips for applying the Bilbo Method
- Start with a weight that you can lift easily.
- Perform the set with the maximum possible speed.
- Do not reach muscle failure.
- Get enough rest between workouts.
