Where is everyone #5

Nice. Was never a fan of anything besides raw.

After I ditch these crutches my bench prob goes up 25 lbs lol. Been a good 6-7 years since I hit those numbers

 

I've always done pyramid sets adding weight every set. 10x8x6x4x2x1

 

I need to get back to the gym. It's been ages. Just will need to figure out what one will work best for my drives.

 

My buddy with 1 arm and 1 leg squashes those numbers haha.

 

I'm kinda of the mindset that if you can't grip it or need assistance, its too heavy. Even dropping weights. You lose a whole half rep by dropping vs a controlled descent.

 

Same here. Usually warm up with 5-10 minutes of light cardio then go on the weights. I'll take about 3 sets to get myself into the 3-5 rep range, do 3-4 sets there, then do 2 more sets, dropping the weight on each.

 

A while ago i read an article that said; high rep, low weight = mass/ and low rep high weight = strength

So far seems to hold true

 

Right toning low weight high rep. Bulking high weight low rep.

 

I've been sticking to the 4-6 rep range. Going to switch it up for a couple weeks. Drop the weight and work the 10-12 rep range.
