Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Nah we not gonna sit here and front like women squattin 500+ is normal.

You obviously didn't read the post you quoted me on.

A 220+ pound broad putting up 500 (prolly 2x BW) is not that uncommon for a PLer. Same girl prolly can't bench 315.

A 180+ pound broad walked into the rack next to me Wednesday and had over 315 on the bar for easy reps. She only benched like 145 that day.

Not saying it's not impressive, but certainly not to me.
Girls are much better at squatting, then deadlifting, and usually suck at benching P4P compared to dudes.

I was super impressed man just clean too .

Impressive, yes, just not to me. Them big girls move weight like a freight train.

That girl wouldn't even see the bench in the SEC breh. She'd get MANhandled in the pros.


Edit: Most females, even big ones, have disproportionately weaker upper bodies. Them blocks wouldn't let you walk on to a JUCO team.

Do I go play racquetball and finish it off with an upper body lifting session

or

go run at the park

Lifting is always the answer.

The leverage.

The instincts to beat him to the point of attack.

Sniffed out the spin move

Hands clean, no flag.

Brehs that bench low reps like 5x4 and 3x3...do you build up to that weight? Or you just warm up, push that weight and call it a day?

It depends honestly on how im feeling. You can sub pushups to loosen up

 

[I AM WE ARE]

Starting every workout with squats now
135x12
225x10

asking because I don’t feel shyt when I just go straight to the heavy weight. I need like 8 sets where I’m steadily increasing the weight, before I get to my working set

That means your body is getting stronger bruh
Either increase weight or increase reps

Assuming straight sets: I do my warm up sets then my working sets. Let's say it's 250 for a 5x3.
45 x 5
45 x 5
95 x 5
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 1
-----------------
250 x 5 x 3

^Nothing above the line counts as work, just warm-up work. (Still included in tonnage calculations.) Only the working sets and down sets are counted. So if a workout of mine has 40 sets in it, that's me only counting my actual working sets.
