If anyone is considering joining a local sparring club but thinks they’re not in good enough shape... just remember- it’s not the size of the man in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the man. https://youtu.be/JhZpTjj3KxM

@Alfred-22 waaaaaaaay too much volume in my opinion. It's going to be really hard for you to progressively add weight on your compound lifts doing 10x10 reps

2017-12-17 01:19:49 UTC  

I would highly recommend cutting your volume in half and just doubling your lift frequency

2017-12-17 01:21:47 UTC  

I would still deadlift on squat day since it is a posterior chain dominant lift so it works perfectly in conjunction with squats, but 10x10 on squats AND deads is asking for an injury.

2017-12-17 01:29:05 UTC  

Oosh I missed the 10x10 part

2017-12-17 01:29:23 UTC  

That’s 200 reps of the two biggest lifts

2017-12-17 01:44:49 UTC  

I was considering going to 5 x 10

2017-12-17 01:45:29 UTC  

I really wanted to try a really high volume with big lifts. Just kind of see how my body reacts

2017-12-17 01:51:35 UTC  

This definitely isnt a long term plan. Just 6 weeks of radically high volume and then maybe decrease volume by half. AFter I would go back to standard strength training.

2017-12-17 01:54:04 UTC  

I am considering the criticism. I will be sticking with the 10 x 10 for the main compound lift but I will decrease the other exercises to 3 x 10.

I'm by no means an expert, but I'm just curious, cause I've never seen a program with this high volume

2017-12-17 02:33:35 UTC  

- why? what's the purpose?

2017-12-17 02:33:42 UTC  

How is your body meant to react?

2017-12-17 02:34:21 UTC  

high volume means lots of hypertrophy

2017-12-17 02:34:29 UTC  

I hope you get shredded like a Greek god

2017-12-17 02:34:39 UTC  

Yes but 10x10 just seems extreme.

2017-12-17 02:34:49 UTC  

I've seen people who do it

2017-12-17 02:35:11 UTC  

ik this little black dude, Richard hawthorne i think

2017-12-17 02:35:17 UTC  

he does that with deadlift

2017-12-17 02:35:28 UTC  

he's incredibly strong pound for pound

2017-12-17 02:36:49 UTC  

That guys name is Richard Hawthorne? ahaha, that's awesome

2017-12-17 02:39:11 UTC  

Man. That's seriously impressive.

2017-12-17 02:40:08 UTC  

high volume training has its benefits, i try to do my strength sets first, then do 5x10 of a decent weight

2017-12-17 02:40:24 UTC  

the pump gets unreal

2017-12-17 02:40:58 UTC  

and it really helps engrain form

2017-12-17 02:41:28 UTC  

oh and always beltless

2017-12-17 03:00:42 UTC  

Yes no belt. Hypertrophy is the goal. It will be interesting to see how my muscles respond to the training. I just finished my first set of 100 reps for Bench and holy crap. 5 sets in the pump was nice. 8 sets in I could feel anything. I would only recommend this if you have a Goode strength base

2017-12-17 03:32:31 UTC  

What's the benefit of belt/no belt?

2017-12-17 03:56:30 UTC  

Belt is good for heavy lifts. Contrary to popular opinion using a belt doesn't really weaken your core.

2017-12-17 03:57:30 UTC  

However I just don't see any need to use a belt for weight you push in high volume training

2017-12-17 06:29:53 UTC  

Belt exists mostly for safety and for helping maintain internal pressure during a lift by giving your core something to push against

2017-12-17 06:30:58 UTC  

The safety thing is mostly for 90%+

2017-12-17 12:46:19 UTC  

I'll only use a belt for like overloading my hammies and glutes during squats so i don't have to worry about my back

2017-12-17 12:46:26 UTC  

or when going for a pr

2017-12-17 14:26:37 UTC  

Does anyone have tips for getting/staying motivated to work out and excerise? Especially during those cold weeks of December when you just want to stay in and feast every day

2017-12-17 14:27:26 UTC  

Was on XC team in high school. When I was 15 I was in he best shape of my life and I really want to take up running and swimming again

2017-12-17 14:27:48 UTC  

@Warren H you’re not always gonna be motivated. It’s more about discipline. Telling yourself that these days, when you really don’t feel like going, they’re the most important

2017-12-17 14:28:29 UTC  

Set a schedule and really dedicate yourself to it. You’ll always feel better after it’s done

2017-12-17 14:29:13 UTC  

What do you mean by discipline? Like forming a habit of working out on certain days
