The Naitch Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I was getting ready to leave the gym earlier when I saw one guy come into the changing room, get into his gym gear then proceed to leave the gym and go for a run in the city centre streets instead.OFTW behaviour, surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staggy1929 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 after a couple weeks of cutting I attempted a fairly heavy chest session and still managed to get 5 reps of 110 on the bench, fairly buzzing not going to lie. No doubt the lighter I get the weaker I'll get (in theory) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the lighter I get the weaker I'll get (in theory)Iv started doing the weights. Bench Press, Shoulder Press, Dumbbell row, lat pull down and Leg Press. All 5 x 5 reps (6 if I’m feeling cocky)Got myself to 40 Kg (88 lbs?)on the Bench Press and 90 Kg (198 lbs?) on leg press which I’m pretty pleased with as Iv only been doing it 2 weeks. Not sure if that’s decent but as I said I’m happy with my progress so far 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should notice a good amount of progress in your first few months, were you just doing cardio before? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently tho Iv decided to give it a go. I do alternate days weights and cardio. Did 3.7 miles on the treadmill today and back at the weights tomorrow. Might up my bench slightly tomorrow, see how I feel in the morning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am keen on the leg press as an exercise and was doing a bit of reading on it a few months ago. One of the girls in the USA track cycling team does 400kg for sets of 20 as part of her training. Unreal! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 You'll surprise yourself, you can get shifting quite a lot in a relatively short time on the leg press.When i was doing 5x5s few years ago bow I read an article about how with your legs, since they are used to carrying your weight all day, you need to go for mega high (surprise yourself level) to give your legs a real fright and really get them going you need to be pressing ridiculously high weights. I did it from scratch for less than a year and was leg pressing fucking loads. You really do surprise yourself how strong your legs can get like you say 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 A few months ago I had a go on the leg press machine in my gym because I was bored and I could press the whole stack of weights, I can't remember what the weight was. I hadn't used a machine in years, I just do squats, deadlifts, bench and press. I trained for years doing a circuit of machines and I have to say I think it was a waste of time, literally. Everyone is different but doing compound barbell lifts is much simpler for me and works out a lot better in terms of benefits and having an enjoyable workout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlifts are the top boi imho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
