Big, would you explain the lingo for me and some other please. I do find I do some of these thing but have no idea what they are called.
However, in essence, there's a distinct lack of compound moves. Your training should be based around these, and pretty much only these:
Squats
Bench
OHP What like free barbell military press?
Chins
Rows
Deads (if you can't yet do 2xBW+) What is 2xBW+ (two time back ? + HUH?)
Split that into 2 or 3 sessions, pick a set/rep range and a reasonably comfortable intensity level and then add the smallest increment you can (usually 2.5kg) to the bar every week until you can't get the sets/reps, and then back off. |
You guys are great with advice.
I do have to be honest though, I have trained for ages, but really, I don't know nearly as much as you guys about training, so I have NO IDEA what you are talking about sometimes.
I do agree with you on sticking with the main compound exercises.
I find that a lot of women can do things in slightly higher rep ranges than men for results.
OK and dead lifts.
When you are doing dead lifts do you set the bar down between each rep or are you just doing loads of reps.
I usually do dead lifts for my hamstrings (which one are these) and I don't set the bar down.
These are different from the ones that you guys are doing for back yes?
