ImagineAll Wrote:Why do you do so many sets on everything? O_oI do 3 or 4 warmup sets plus 1 rep at my work set load, yeah. I end up doing 3 work sets plus 1 or 2 deload sets.
On a personal note:
Finally got a friend to workout with me and tried maxing out on a few different exercises. Hit 225 for two reps on a bench press, 155 on a shoulder press, and 295 on a squat (probably could have done more on this one but meh). I think I'm gonna try maxing out every other month just to get an idea of where I'm at and cause vanity and it makes me feel like I'm actually making meh gains.
I spent a good hour or two watching videos on how to correct my bench press form; I can only hope that my form is bad and my upper body isn't actually weak, because 2 plates on bench has been my goal for a long time.
EDIT:
Went to do my sprints this morning, pulled my hamstring. I did exactly one 200m. Tried to suck it up and just run a 5k, then I pulled my hamstring again. :|
Before the run though I went and took my first progress picture since November, and it's nice to see that I have actually made some healthy progress in a month and a half (I hadn't really done any cutting from November to December). I'll probably start posting pictures when my abs start to look defined; you can see them in the pictures I have now, but they look...spray tanned.
