@Steve - NJ is that you?
Hell no I busted my ass lifting
Can't do that
What do you guys think of 1 rep lifting?
I've utilized it before on Sheiko programs
It got me on podium both times and Westside uses it too
I'm thinking about switching my 3 x 5 squats and deadies to 3 x 1 on account of I think it will have lower impact on my knees, which are getting sore as I increase my weight. Think it's worth a shot?
I also do 3 x warm ups
What sort of warm up do you goys recommend before the 5x5 lifting routine? Currently I do nothing to warm up, just start the lifts. Is it necessary or not really? Opinions?
@Sonic I do three warm up sets - 5 x bar, 3 x 50%, 1 x 75%
I'd probably do more volume in sets if you're gonna do one rep
Like 5x1
At 85% of 1RM
Maybe 80%
I usually work up to singles with a high rep low weight, then 60% for 5 reps, 70% for 3, and go to singles
@Deleted User 3 sets of which specific lift for the warm up?
I have bad squatters elbow so I use singles and low reps to keep the inflammation down
Or warm up before each lift?
@Sonic I mean 3 warm up sets for each of the 3 x 5 core lifts i do. So six total sets, three warm up and three working
Gotcha. Thank you!
I haven't been working out, because I've been sick for the past few days. I still don't feel like I'm in the condition to do it. How long until I start losing gains? Should I at least try to do some pushups in my room?
Focus on getting better.
Getting enough protein is good, too.
Protein and rest, bruh
i have bronkaid and caffeine pills to take before I work out, should I add aspirin to the stack?
i know that's done sometimes
Nah aspirin isn't necessary
Are you injured?
40 lbs less than last time I was posting anything. Damn homelessness
But Ayyy still the best lifting tank
Is it good to drink caffeine before lifting?
Will I actually get a better workout in, or will it just make me feel more energetic?
Is there any detriments? I kind of want caffeine sometimes whether it will help me or not, but I don't want it to drag me down.
Other than caffeine tolerance that you build up, you'll just sweat more
If there's caffeine as an ingredient in a pre workout product or mix you make it's fine, especially from green tea. Drinking coffee before lifting is retarded.
Why?
Caffeine is an addictive drug, man. shouldn't have caffeine
@Alexander Volk#7256 Beyond that being your opinion, there is nothing substantial suggesting that having a cup of coffee before you go lift is retarded.
