How often do you guys max out
EVERY DAY
Realistically, maybe every 3 months just to adjust my percentages on my program
Doing max weight too often has more cons than pros
Have you all ever done Bar Bros routines? You're all probably really against it, but that's the type of stuff I did in HS, and I want to get back into it
First I’ve heard of it
It's just body weight stuff. They mostly do stuff on the bar (hence bar bros) like flagpoles and muscle ups
Oh damn, I just went on their website for the first time in years. These guys got gay as heck, son
And very obviously don't just do body weight
I used to do this. I was doing pretty well, too. I could do 3x20 pistol squats, and 3x10 uneven pullups
Lots of SEALs stuff in there too
@John O - oddly enough my daughter is in to it some what. She is 11 and can do more pull ups than I can. She does a lot of these workouts on bars they teach in gymnastics. Including leg stuff so it’s a bit different than what you’re talking about but the same concept.
We've had this conversation before, but I always thought feats if athleticism were way more impressive than feats of strength
I need to know where to start in lifting
I’ve done calisthenics and running climbing etc
But I don’t know how to start on a proper bulk
He’s our designated fitness trainer
He’ll probably say starting strength
I may be perpetually stuck in marathon running
I max out at meets
I don't max out in traininh
Training*
It'd be better if I could talk to you instead of chat, tbh @Francis V
I’ll be off work in 5 hours
I’ll let ye know
Gotcha
Did 8km last evening
Considering making it a tri weekly run
It’s a square course around my section of he city
It had been a long time since my eyebrows were dripping sweat onto my cheeks tbh
Like 20 minutes after and you’re still pouring swea
sick!!
