but dude
if you keep doing this you will gradually increase your speed
reaching your goal of 3 miles in 25 minutes which is slow
unless there's a powerlifter who says that he did that so he was able to Deadlift 800lbs then that's just bro science
what you are saying is bro science
kek
what is I am talking about is clear physiological facts
show me a powerlifter who did that and I'll believe you
it is bro science until people actually achieve real goals doing it
i weigh literally 255 right not I am currently at 18% body fat.
i do this method only
science
is real
But again right now I'm interested in strength. So im doing what powerlifters do.
How much can you squat and Deadlift?
do you not understand what being 255 and 18% bodyfat means when it comes to strength?
i also have the ability to run
most powerlifters are fairly slow they may be quick in explosion but top speed is slow
how much can you squat?
I don't ever do a max rep squat so i can't tell you my max. but right now I squat 555 lbs for my workout.
my goal is 800
800 for workouts not max
That's pretty good
Given your bodyweight that makes sense
But for a beginner what would say for someone who lifts 4x a week what should they do cardio wise?
@Kraviz i recommend starting a time run at 25 minutes and keeping your heartrate at 60 - 75% of your maximum. this is about 132 - 165 heart beats a minute. if you are truly hitting the weights like you are saying then you should go for a low to mid range. so 132 - 150. you need to make sure though that you are hitting your anaerobic threshold during weight lifting to have full workout. each week increase the speed but stay in that range. after awhile you will be able to run faster and still keep that heartrate range easily.
the heartrate range is based on a 220 maximum
heartrate
also you don't have to just do running you can do swimming and jump rope. running is just a very easy way to measure progress because of timing and speed increase. you can do the same with jump roping and swimming. you can count the numbers of jumps per minute and you can count the number laps per workout session in the pool. just stay within that range.
hitting the heavy bag can be done too. you can count how many times you hit the bag with your power hand and your jab. if you do martial arts practicing shadow boxing in a routine form can be counted how many times you completed it before time was up.
the most important thing is heartrate control
Hmmm OK. Ill probably swim tomorrow. I lifted weights today.
What's your pre-weight training routine like (e.g. stretching, jog/walk, etc.)?
>pre-training
Mainly just stretching, but cardio after a workout it what I find is best
Finally upped my barbell to 175lb, doing cheat curls and deadlifts with what I got here
I need to buy more plates, I've got like 2 11lb plates before I'm out
best warmup is the same movements with lower weight, and before that dynamic stretching which puts the joints you will be moving through their full range of movement, without holding positions for longer than a few seconds
Like this, but cater it to what specifically you are doing
