The yute call it old man strength , way to go .
Hey Tim, I've got some dumbbells in my office area that need to go to my basement. Whatcha doin tomorrow? lmao!!
^^ idk bout that ,8oz curls all summer no muscle retention , some days I'm going at it like a machine ;)
been lifting for nearly 3 decades....literally done hundreds of thousands of reps on the bench, squat rack etc
in my opinion:
for building bulk...heavy reps per set = 6 reps
for buidling definition....light reps per set = 15 reps
anything above or below that imo should be a single set for a max weight try....or the last set where you're just giving everything until failure and you crank out crazy reps
diet is the thing that's gonna make you huge or ripped....and I'm not picky on my diet...I'm just training to keep the thing between my ears in shape
I mix it up....if I go heavy on day 1...I go heavy right through day 4....if I go light...same deal....I don't typcially go heavy or light in consecutive 4-day routines...cause your muscles don't get shocked
my routine does the whole body over 4 days...then a day of....then rinse and repeat
day 1 - chest (16 sets) delts (12 sets)
say 2 - legs (30 sets)
day 3 - back (16 sets) traps (12 sets)
day 4 - triceps (16 sets) biceps (12 sets)
there's countless combos of exercises..so I'm constantly mixing that up too
what's freaking me out atm is weights that I'm usually good for around 8-10 reps....I'm going full retard and cranking out 15....and now on the heavy days I'm lifting amounts for reps that I haven't done in a decade
Phenom ..,,, I guese it's become a way of life for you , great stuff :) wtg
Way to go Tim.
My guess... Because it happened to me when I used to lift....is that because you haven't lifted for a little bit, your muscles have gained back full strength and are completely repaired.
They will still be strong and get fatigued and not lift max again soon. Just my .02
Intmdtr....any news on the motor? How is Wednesday looking for you?
