konka Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah so what do you prefer and why? I personally like to mix it up depending on the exercise/how I'm feeling.
Walli Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 dont feel comfortable walking away knowing i could have got more reps out i prefer to see progress in way of weigh increase than rep increase. e.g. for me i prefer to go from lifting 90kg bench for 4-6 to lifting 100kg for 4-6 than lifting 70kg for 8-10 to lifting 80kg for 8-10 or even say like lifting 80kg for 6 to then being able to do for 10 reps.
Reevesy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 i cycle weights. start at 65-70% 1rm then add 2.5-5kg a week depending on exercise, peak at 1-3 reps. then reset
DeltaPapa Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I do 30kg (light i know, but kinda heavy for me lmao) x12. I could do 45x6, but i dunno why i dont.
I Meleed I Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 i like seeing how heavy i can lift, even if it's minimal reps. just to see.
Reevesy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I do 30kg (light i know, but kinda heavy for me lmao) x12. I could do 45x6, but i dunno why i dont. do 32.5 next time n get 12 reps
Steroids Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 i prefer getting the desired gains rather than w.e fun i get out of lifting the weights as i please. so i lift in the rep ratio that is most beneficial.
ph0ne Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I prefer making my forum name steroids so people know for sure that I lift OT: heavy
Steroids Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 my rsn is BULK PROTEIN and i only started gym when foe fitness and health section appeard :D meme.gif.jpg.nerd
Reevesy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I prefer making my forum name steroids so people know for sure that I lift OT: heavy u go light.. u did 5 str8 sets of 10 today, that screams light.
Average Joe Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 w.e u enjoy more ur not gunna stick to anything if you dont enjoy it, know that. im in between i like seeing me add wait onto exercises than do the same reps if not 1 less than lets say 20 lbs more weight.
Tris Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Generally 8-12 most weeks, sometimes 5-8 on heavier weeks.
Walli Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 hmm actually think it depends on the exercise, try to keep form regardless... not 1 of these mugs who throws form out of the window to look like you can lift big
konka Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 the only exercises that i go for heavy weights/less reps are bench/deadlift/squats stuff like fly's, curls, dumbell press etc i aim for 10-12 with a little lower in the weight rather then 6 with a heavier
Triko Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 i lift in the rep ratio that is most beneficial.
ph0ne Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 my rsn is BULK PROTEIN and i only started gym when foe fitness and health section appeard :D meme.gif.jpg.nerd >start gym before health and fitness appeared >i don't ever come on health n fitness other then make u rage(cus u can't tell if srs+retard) o no i got called a nerd on an internet forum :((((((((((
