>that many sets and back exercises

2018-02-28 12:29:43 UTC  

Do you spend 3 hours in the gym, bro-bro?

2018-02-28 13:28:09 UTC  

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.

2018-02-28 14:45:48 UTC  

Oosh, that is a whole lot of volume and exercises. Why not pick 4 or 5 of your favorite and just work those harder?

2018-02-28 15:50:37 UTC  

@Suomi Stronk#0869 calculate your tonnage

2018-02-28 15:50:50 UTC  

RepsXweight all over 2000

2018-02-28 16:38:06 UTC  

Looks like a good workout to me

2018-02-28 16:38:34 UTC  

I used to do workouts like that when I was younger and had several hours to spend at the gym

2018-02-28 18:12:59 UTC  

@Deleted User Most my workouts take about an hour and a half to two hours

2018-02-28 18:13:34 UTC  

I only take 30 second breaks in between sets, which is pretty much enough time to change weight

2018-02-28 18:22:29 UTC  

Oh yeah that changes things haha

2018-02-28 18:22:49 UTC  

I'm a fan of the 60-90 second rest so it lengthens things quite a bit

2018-02-28 18:56:29 UTC  

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

2018-02-28 19:02:20 UTC  

Between warmups and going slow for the ankle it took me 30 minutes to get through my deadlifts

2018-02-28 19:32:55 UTC  

Same

2018-02-28 19:33:30 UTC  

During any working set (80%+ for me) I take exorbitantly long breaks

2018-02-28 19:34:23 UTC  

Had 2x5 at 80% for squat today and there's no way I'm not taking at least a couple minutes

2018-02-28 21:48:58 UTC  

Between work sets I take 8 minutes minimum. I find a few extra minutes really makes a difference

2018-02-28 21:49:13 UTC  

definitely makes my workouts long though

2018-02-28 22:48:05 UTC  

Goal is to be practically crawling out of the gym by the end of my workouts

2018-03-01 01:49:15 UTC  

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

2018-03-01 18:00:42 UTC  

@Nick-NJ hope it goes well man, sounds rough

2018-03-01 19:34:54 UTC  

Survived and hit a nice overhead press volume PR!

2018-03-01 19:35:01 UTC  
2018-03-02 13:05:04 UTC  

is it a bad idea to work out on a day you're doing an all day fast?

2018-03-02 13:18:20 UTC  

Just be aware of your body and keep the intensity moderate

2018-03-02 13:18:54 UTC  

You'll be fine, I fast once a week and it's all good

2018-03-02 23:17:45 UTC  

595 deadlift PR after squats today, boys. 605 next week

2018-03-02 23:22:12 UTC  

fugg!

2018-03-02 23:27:45 UTC  

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?

2018-03-02 23:28:15 UTC  

depends on what kinda soreness

2018-03-02 23:29:12 UTC  

@Deleted User It's not debilitating, but it still feels like someone took a sledgehammer to my lower back

2018-03-02 23:29:24 UTC  

f

2018-03-02 23:29:45 UTC  

you could hit things aside from your lower back i suppose

2018-03-02 23:30:14 UTC  

like instead of bb rows, seal rows or something

2018-03-03 00:31:48 UTC  

Getting that concrete feeling in my lower back never affects my lift just my mindset. But that’s just my experience

2018-03-03 08:05:39 UTC  

@Suomi Stronk a whole week of DOMS?

2018-03-04 02:23:07 UTC  

You did too much.

2018-03-04 02:24:49 UTC  

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.
