You just read that in another thread on here, right?

I know people what mix all the time with no apparent issues so I guess to each his own. Apples are a very good base for juices though. It makes a lot of vegetable juices tolerable.

It was on another thread here and I also looked it up because it didn't make sense to me. I don't get it, people mix all the time and see results.

Do not combine fruits and vegetables, as these require different digestive processes. All fruits may be mixed together. All vegetables may be mixed together. All melons may be mixed together. Exceptions: Lettuce and celery can be combined with either fruit or vegetable juice. Apples will mix well with vegetable juices and helps to sweeten the drink.

I know. I switch up my workouts to do light, medium and heavy. I found that routines of the same reps, weight and sets don't help but your body gets used to it. I wish I knew this sooner. I was doing heavy a couple weeks ago where I was doing 315 and 335 for 1 rep.

Doing the same routine is OK. Once you get used to a certain weight, throw more on. If this works for you though then keep at it. I like to keep things simple tho, cause then I can easily track progress.

just purchased a heart rate monitor. Been upping my cardio lately and I know for a fact these cross-trainers are lying to me . Ain't no way I burned 350 calories in 20 minutes.

never understood that linear approach to attempting a max. I do a warmup set or two then hit the heavy shyt. I feel like doin all that shyt before you attempt a heavy weight is sabotaging yourself.

It's not really attempting to reach my one rep max.
The goal is to do the same number of reps that you did in the previous set. Of course, as you get higher, that becomes impossible. I try to get as many reps as possible. That's why this is a challenge.

Yes, I do that too, reverse the weight/rep numbers for all sets.
If I hit 285 for 4 reps as a last set, then I know that I can do more if I start with that weight, or I know after warm-ups, I can start heavy sets with more confidence.

So I'm going to be doing Squats and Deadlifts today.....

I've only done them once and the time I did em....I lifted alot more than I thought I could...

Any tips yall could give a brother?

 

[yoyoyo1]

started out with ATG squats but hitting a weight that is starting to feel uncomfortable and i end up getting lower back soreness

apparently not flexible enough hit bottom with rounding, tried the stretches etc but still unpleasant aftereffects, switching to simply parallel, it seems the other way is just so strict on form i'd never be able to get it down

anyone else with a similar issue
