Any set over 6 I lose count lol. I have to start counting like “1, and , 2, and” would be four reps

2018-02-26 18:44:31 UTC  

@peytonT haha there's a few sets I intended to 8 but I go to the video and see I only did 7. I know where I mess up counting, I'll be like "alright I'm about to do rep number 5, ok here we go, wait is this rep 5 or did I already complete rep 5" so now a lot of the times I throw in one extra rep if I feel unsure.

2018-02-26 18:47:33 UTC  

Yeah sets of 8 at 70% on deadlift leave me mentally disabled for a few moments

2018-02-26 18:57:22 UTC  

I second @Zyklonius B Gassem-LA feeling about low sets on heavy lifts. Intensity is more important than volume in that regard (imo).

2018-02-26 21:29:59 UTC  

I feel the same way about bench

2018-02-27 20:54:26 UTC  

Anyone else get DOMS exclusively in their left knee

2018-02-27 20:57:15 UTC  

no

2018-02-27 23:11:39 UTC  

doms, in the knee

2018-02-27 23:11:48 UTC  

erm

2018-02-27 23:12:02 UTC  

like a muscle around the knee?

2018-02-27 23:12:33 UTC  

delayed onset muscle soreness kinda necessitates a muscle, not a joint haha

2018-02-27 23:13:23 UTC  

you probly have some hipshift or something using your stronger leg

2018-02-27 23:13:40 UTC  

mess around with unilaterals

2018-02-27 23:13:58 UTC  

wait, this is from squatting right?

2018-02-28 01:45:19 UTC  

There’s an awful Skyrim joke to be made here but I’ll refrain

2018-02-28 03:43:17 UTC  

It was a joke lol

2018-02-28 03:43:51 UTC  

Knee injuries being ignored under a factual misunderstanding

2018-02-28 04:27:40 UTC  

A few weeks ago I wrote about a bench press set that strained an upper an muscle. I fixed it with muscle relaxer balm and resting a few days. The next workout I dropped down 5 pounds and have slowly slowly been creeping up to that weight again that strained me last time. Tonight I do it. One more set to go.

2018-02-28 04:29:57 UTC  

Just resting before it. One note though is the problem wasn't that I didn't complete the work out that time, it was just the next few days I felt like I had a very tense right upper an muscle. Hope I've done enough training, rest, warm up to mitigate that this time.

2018-02-28 06:23:07 UTC  

Follow-up, last set went really well, better than first two, which indicates to me I should warm up more before the work sets. Also I made an extra effort to prop up on my back heels.

2018-02-28 06:41:51 UTC  

My workout today. RIP my back right now.

2018-02-28 12:29:28 UTC  

>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
