How's your salt and potassium intake

Who needs pre-workout when you can take a taser hit instead?

What do you guys think of 1 rep lifting?

I've utilized it before on Sheiko programs

It got me on podium both times and Westside uses it too

I'm thinking about switching my 3 x 5 squats and deadies to 3 x 1 on account of I think it will have lower impact on my knees, which are getting sore as I increase my weight. Think it's worth a shot?

I also do 3 x warm ups

@BigBadSaxon - ID

What sort of warm up do you goys recommend before the 5x5 lifting routine? Currently I do nothing to warm up, just start the lifts. Is it necessary or not really? Opinions?

@Sonic I do three warm up sets - 5 x bar, 3 x 50%, 1 x 75%

I'd probably do more volume in sets if you're gonna do one rep

Like 5x1

At 85% of 1RM

Maybe 80%

I usually work up to singles with a high rep low weight, then 60% for 5 reps, 70% for 3, and go to singles

@Deleted User 3 sets of which specific lift for the warm up?

I have bad squatters elbow so I use singles and low reps to keep the inflammation down

Or warm up before each lift?

If squatting and deadlifting same day I only warm up once but I still follow the 60 70 80

@Sonic I mean 3 warm up sets for each of the 3 x 5 core lifts i do. So six total sets, three warm up and three working

Gotcha. Thank you!

I haven't been working out, because I've been sick for the past few days. I still don't feel like I'm in the condition to do it. How long until I start losing gains? Should I at least try to do some pushups in my room?

Focus on getting better.

Getting enough protein is good, too.

Protein and rest, bruh

i have bronkaid and caffeine pills to take before I work out, should I add aspirin to the stack?

i know that's done sometimes

Nah aspirin isn't necessary

Are you injured?

40 lbs less than last time I was posting anything. Damn homelessness

But Ayyy still the best lifting tank

Is it good to drink caffeine before lifting?

Will I actually get a better workout in, or will it just make me feel more energetic?

Is there any detriments? I kind of want caffeine sometimes whether it will help me or not, but I don't want it to drag me down.

Other than caffeine tolerance that you build up, you'll just sweat more

If there's caffeine as an ingredient in a pre workout product or mix you make it's fine, especially from green tea. Drinking coffee before lifting is retarded.
