Just trained chest
HAMMER DECLINE
3 warm up sets with 2 a side
1 set with 3 a side
1 set with 3.5 a side
1 set with 4 a side for 19 reps, paused for 30 seconds then 8 more reps
final set only managed 10 reps
4 a side =80k a side right?
This is what i mean, don't think you would be doing 19 reps with 4 plates on free weights, it's simply a different world and not remotely comparable.
HAHA funny thing is denarii can do one rep, you do 19, and you are not the kind of guy who tries to train heavy.
And warm up with 2 plates each side, that is not happening on free weights for gym rats, just to put everything into perspective.
I don't think denarii could do 2 and half plates on free weights.
Thank you for this very useful post.
