8+ is good

i could do 8 per each arm but then where would i get the energy to repeat in say succedding sets of 5 reps? how many sets of 5 reps

im only good for one set of 8 per arm, remember im not that focused but i dont know how in the hell i could do sets of 10 reps per arm for 10 sets say for example

so after your first set of 8 reps, for your subsequent sets you cant repeat another 8 reps? even with 90sec rest?

if so, you need to work on muscle endurance

i MIGHT could after 90 seconds rest but is SURELY could not complete a third at this pace,

i this situation i would be guzziling water tremendously trying to recover, but only tobecome even more hungry and probably just say fuck it after a couple minutes


i would love to do 10 sets of 8 rowing the 125 pound dumbell, in under 20-30 minutes

consider this is all i have though, besides pushups, i dont like using much weight on squats but i have no squat rack so i need to be able to safely clean the weight up

My philosophy is you need to "introduce" your body to heavier weights... instead of doing 10 sets of 10 reps with 125, save your energy, do a set of X many reps with 135.. in that case, your body gets introduced to the heavier weight, and then resume with your 125 lbs... next time around, your body can handle 135 easier... and so on, start doing 135 with more reps, and before you know you can do sets of 135

i dont believe that if you do 10 sets of 10 reps with 125, that will make you do 3 sets of 140 lbs easier.. i thinks thats BS.. try the method i mentioned

No, I wouldn't. Pull it to your waist, not your chest, then at least your technique would be correct.

Type of exercise that if I see someone doing 120 for 10 could be impressive and then seeing a guy do 150 for 15 not impress cause form on this exercise is night and day

Get two a frame ladders.
Set up with barbell distance.
Boom, squat rack.
But cooler cause this unit is like a transformer, as you can use it to do a days work.

I currently use the 130's for 5 sets of 8-10, with 2min rest between. My form is tight on the first 2-3 sets, but on the last 2 the last couple of reps are looser and a bit sloppier. Problem is, not too many gyms have much more than a 100# DB let alone higher. :(

Because that's one particular phase of working out that I'm in. Why would you do five sets of chins or t-bars? Well, when switching workouts every 6 weeks or so like I do, you can do a lot of different things with your routine. I've also got a tricky back and last time I did t-bars I couldn't walk for 2wks. Given my gym, it's equipment and the availability of that equipment at a given time...I'm currently doing 5 sets of 1-arm rows.

Does that answer your question?

If you use lifting straps and get a big gulp of NO-Xplode then 25 in the norm
