I only do HIT

2019-01-11 21:30:40 UTC  

For lifting- train in all rep ranges

2019-01-11 21:30:54 UTC  

I work out 20-25 mins max.. more time for me

2019-01-11 21:31:04 UTC  

eh i only lift heavy stuff, squats there and there, 60min cardio per week

2019-01-11 21:31:05 UTC  

enough for me

2019-01-11 21:31:06 UTC  

those will work on your posture quit a bit, posture is very important. especially pertaining to effective movements with little injury risk.

2019-01-11 21:31:08 UTC  

3-5 reps for a bit 6-10, then 12-15

2019-01-11 21:31:22 UTC  

fail at 5, for strength heavy weight

2019-01-11 21:31:42 UTC  

it's hard to count when you're lifting

2019-01-11 21:31:49 UTC  

so the best strategy is doing it to failure imo

2019-01-11 21:31:52 UTC  

always keep your body guessing and adapting

2019-01-11 21:31:57 UTC  

@hel I never count I go to fail

2019-01-11 21:32:17 UTC  

doing the same routine for too long and that's guaranteed plataeu\

2019-01-11 21:32:22 UTC  

Except my last rep, that I do count

2019-01-11 21:32:59 UTC  

Last rep is GAINS rep

2019-01-11 21:33:08 UTC  

Going to failure is how I like to train, that's why the range is helpful. Just pick a weight where you'll fail at around 6-8 and you don't need to count

2019-01-11 21:33:12 UTC  

Start counting only after you feel the pain

2019-01-11 21:33:17 UTC  

if you happen to fail at 10 increase weight

2019-01-11 21:33:20 UTC

2019-01-11 21:33:36 UTC  

@Sigma that's how I do it

2019-01-11 21:33:40 UTC  

just do a disruptive workout

2019-01-11 21:33:44 UTC  

like 10-8-6

2019-01-11 21:33:50 UTC  

increase weight by 10 each time

2019-01-11 21:33:56 UTC  

so many different ways to do it

2019-01-11 21:34:18 UTC  

I usually do 5-8 for two sets then reduce weight to a level I think I can do 8-11

2019-01-11 21:34:25 UTC  

Then add in supersets, dropsets, do lifting and then a conditioning exercise between sets

2019-01-11 21:34:38 UTC  

DB bench press

2019-01-11 21:34:44 UTC  

then plank for 1 min for rest

2019-01-11 21:34:44 UTC  

@Sigma do you do negatives?

2019-01-11 21:34:49 UTC  

i just can't do squats at all

2019-01-11 21:34:55 UTC  

my knees are shot from wrestling

2019-01-11 21:34:58 UTC  

Negatives are where the most muscle damage occurs

2019-01-11 21:35:18 UTC  

squats are not that important anyways

2019-01-11 21:35:22 UTC  

Those are best when you're around failure or past failure

2019-01-11 21:35:32 UTC  

just one of the many compound lifts

2019-01-11 21:35:44 UTC  

even when training to failure you must also count how many reps you do. reduce the number of negatives variables by remaining consistent in diet, sleep, hydration, etc.

2019-01-11 21:35:59 UTC  

Isometric at failure, then if you want to keep pushing...cheat the weight up and do eccentric training

2019-01-11 21:36:09 UTC  

@Sigma yes I do them as kind of an icing on the cake usually after taking a few seconds rest while still holding the weight

2019-01-11 21:36:27 UTC  

@Sigma resistance bands.

2019-01-11 21:36:44 UTC  

When I do pushups, I like to fail and then hold for as long as possible until I can't hold mysefl up any more

2019-01-11 21:36:46 UTC  

Negatives keep you tight hours after your workout
