Hi Guys
I have been reading on the forum about the 20 rep squats , well if you want good strong legs try the 100 rep squat or as i do now 100 rep leg press cos of age 62 , when i first started them i used an empty bar for 25 reps then onto 50 reps then 75 reps gee do you get fit then...
Sometimes I like to mix this up, if my target for an exercise is say 15' I will start at 15 and work back, or I might break it into into fives, occasionally when I'm on the last five I'll break it down to ones.
I do whatever I can.
Breaking into fives works quite well for 20 reppers. Along...

Ok, so I've been training on and off for about 4-5 years now and onyl recently decided to take it more seriously. But something just occured to me with regards to reps and sets.
Background info:
Take for example the flat bench press I would do:
Set 1 (warmup set): 30kg x 12 reps
Set 2...
ok I am concentrating on my triceps, and I am doing the lying tricep extensions, and the dumbbell overhead tricep extension. Currently I am using dumbbells and they are 10 kilos. I really feel it after doing 12 reps.
How many sets should I be doing? I try to do 3 sets, but it kills as it burns...

After reading some threads on here (in particular, 2 or 3 by fadi noting the benefit of large reps) and chatting to some of the bigger guys in the gym, I decided to stop lifting heavier for curls and just start doing high reps with really slow/controlled movements.
I decided to try just the...
Hi,
I have a question about the intensity of a workout, should I be using low weights and aiming for 15 reps or more or heavier weights 10 or 6 reps with more sets?
Im not a noob but I always hear different views on this.
I only have spare time on weekends so I want to build as much muscle...
Ive noticed a lot of people on this site prefer to gauge their progress by how many reps they can do of a certain weight rather than by the maximum weight they can lift once. Personally i love doing 1RM and aiming for new PB's its what i train for, to find out what my absolute maximum strength...
For example with my bench press i can get 5x5x4 would i benifit to keep adding sets so it looked more like 5x5x4x3x2x2x1 or something until totally buggard. Or is there a point where it really makes no difference. I want to increase my bench press to 10x10x10 but i dont really know how far i...
Has anyone tried it that way? I have read mostly people doing 5 reps 10 reps or even 20 reps with squats. Has anyone tried 2-4 reps max with as heavy as you can lift. Im interested to know As I gotta lift more with my squats its freaking depressing me. My legs let me down so bad. :(
Hi guys,
For 3 years I trained light, then heavier, then heaviest.
Eg. Bench 60kg/10 reps, 70kg/8 reps, 80kg/4 reps.
Recently I flipped it: 80kg/6 reps, 70kg/8 reps., 60kg rep till fail.
I find it much better as you are able to lift the heavy weight straight away as your muscles are not...

My weight training routine seems to take forever Currently i am doing 3 sets of 8-12 reps. Is ok if I cut this down to 2 sets of 8-12 reps will this effect my gains?
currently i I have been doing 3x8 of the same weight, but a few people that I know/see doing , will do something like 10 reps, then they will increase the weight and do another 8 reps, followed by more increase in weight and do 6 reps
Is there any advantage to increasing the weight for each set...
