Title: a good method for counting repetitions when training
Post by: Marty Champions on January 07, 2011, 05:55:13 AM
many times ill do my squats and pushups in sets of 20. im a firm beleiver if i hit 500 reps daily i will be near yung true falcon faces status's

i find the key to keeping track is not writing down put simply ripping off a tiny peice of paper to symbolize 20 reps. writing down all that pullshup you tend to forget if you actually wrote down the previous set or not when you see a 20 rep already wrote down.

proabably least informative post ever but still helpful

If you had some of those yellow sticky pads to write down reps maybe this could become a streamlined Falcon process.  8) This way when hoes come over the pieces of paper would not be misplaced so easily they tend to move shit around.

What if you do more than two reps ???  This is a limited system for sure.

When I do 20-rep squats I actually lose count pretty frequently.  I'm sure I've done 19 or 21 many times.

i use the smallest plates: every x reps or at the end of each set i pile another plate and so on
