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
I would highly recommend cutting your volume in half and just doubling your lift frequency
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.
Oosh I missed the 10x10 part
That’s 200 reps of the two biggest lifts
I was considering going to 5 x 10
I really wanted to try a really high volume with big lifts. Just kind of see how my body reacts
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.
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.
@Nick-NJ @Deleted User How is that
I'm by no means an expert, but I'm just curious, cause I've never seen a program with this high volume
- why? what's the purpose?
How is your body meant to react?
high volume means lots of hypertrophy
I hope you get shredded like a Greek god
Yes but 10x10 just seems extreme.
I've seen people who do it
ik this little black dude, Richard hawthorne i think
he does that with deadlift
That guys name is Richard Hawthorne? ahaha, that's awesome
Man. That's seriously impressive.
high volume training has its benefits, i try to do my strength sets first, then do 5x10 of a decent weight
the pump gets unreal
and it really helps engrain form
oh and always beltless
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
What's the benefit of belt/no belt?
Belt is good for heavy lifts. Contrary to popular opinion using a belt doesn't really weaken your core.
However I just don't see any need to use a belt for weight you push in high volume training
Belt exists mostly for safety and for helping maintain internal pressure during a lift by giving your core something to push against
The safety thing is mostly for 90%+
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
or when going for a pr
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
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
@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
Set a schedule and really dedicate yourself to it. You’ll always feel better after it’s done
What do you mean by discipline? Like forming a habit of working out on certain days
