All different styles of training. What you're doing now falls into the muscular endurance arena (although the higher rep ranges can be useful in other styles occassionally) Decide if you want to train for mass, power or endurance. In the meantime, try taking your current 'routine' and bumping up the weight a little (don't try to max right away) dropping down to 10 reps while gradually continuing to bump up the weight until you hit about 20-22% more than what you could get 15-16 at (over the course of the next 2-3 weeks). You'll probably notice a difference. So for instance - if you're doing 200 lbs for 15 reps, you should be able to work up to 240 lbs (for 10 reps) over the course of the next several weeks. Don't just jump right in at 240 because like you said, your joints and other tissues might not be ready.
Lets say you front squat your body weight supper setting that with dead lifting body weight. I find myself breathing pretty heavy after a few sets, I don't like alot of rest in between to keep the momentum. But man it's pretty hard sometimes anyone else noticed this or does my cardio need even more work? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, if any. It seems that lung capacity puts a limit before muscle fatigue sometimes, anybody else have this happening?
vitamin D.
Ok. I never have heavy days though. In only do it like this, every time. I always do minimum 16 reps for legs. I always felt like I would get hurt when I try a really heavy squat. I cant seem to build much mass or get strong joints like a power lifter for some reason.
interesting. Right before the workout?
ive been hearing alot about vitamin d latleyeven vitamin d3 from radiated mushrooms (not joke thats what they called )
Here goes. Your body is happy as it is, the only way it will adapt is through necessity, for survival.If you do a set and stop two reps shy of failure, your body is not forced into adapting, ie getting bigger or stronger to its optimal.Agree?
Yes, Mike Mentzer.
