My workout today. RIP my back right now.
>that many sets and back exercises
Do you spend 3 hours in the gym, bro-bro?
I'm glad you're going for the gold, but it does seem excessive. But your cut seems to be going well so maybe you have it figured it.
Oosh, that is a whole lot of volume and exercises. Why not pick 4 or 5 of your favorite and just work those harder?
@Suomi Stronk#0869 calculate your tonnage
RepsXweight all over 2000
Looks like a good workout to me
I used to do workouts like that when I was younger and had several hours to spend at the gym
@Deleted User Most my workouts take about an hour and a half to two hours
I only take 30 second breaks in between sets, which is pretty much enough time to change weight
Oh yeah that changes things haha
I'm a fan of the 60-90 second rest so it lengthens things quite a bit
I guess lol at my 3-7 minute breaks between heavy triples and doubles. Although most of that time is spent on set up and getting my belt tight and chalking
Between warmups and going slow for the ankle it took me 30 minutes to get through my deadlifts
Same
During any working set (80%+ for me) I take exorbitantly long breaks
Had 2x5 at 80% for squat today and there's no way I'm not taking at least a couple minutes
Between work sets I take 8 minutes minimum. I find a few extra minutes really makes a difference
definitely makes my workouts long though
Workout for leg day here in a few minutes
Heavy bench day today calls for 800mg of Ibuprofen so that my forearm tendinitis doesn't make me drop the bar. Need to survive this so that I can make it to the conference next week
@Nick-NJ hope it goes well man, sounds rough
Survived and hit a nice overhead press volume PR!
Thanks @ThisIsChris
is it a bad idea to work out on a day you're doing an all day fast?
Just be aware of your body and keep the intensity moderate
You'll be fine, I fast once a week and it's all good
595 deadlift PR after squats today, boys. 605 next week
fugg!
Debating if I should lift or not tonight. Body is still aching from last week's back day. Should I take another rest day and hit it hard tomorrow?
depends on what kinda soreness
@Deleted User It's not debilitating, but it still feels like someone took a sledgehammer to my lower back
f
you could hit things aside from your lower back i suppose
like instead of bb rows, seal rows or something
Getting that concrete feeling in my lower back never affects my lift just my mindset. But that’s just my experience
@Suomi Stronk a whole week of DOMS?
You did too much.
Try this: death by pull up. Every minute on the minute you do a pull up and with each minute you do another. IE, minute 1 is one pull up and minute two is 2 pull ups. So on and so forth until you fail.
