I only had 25 mins to train today, so just hit one set of deadlifts and was out again. 220kg/485lb x5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1EG1QPl_B0

I've always used mix grip from warm up to work sets.

It's relative, what's heavy for you, might be light for me or vice versa. In most cases heavy will be 85% of your 1 rep maxes.

Nice work man

Some floor pressing from my session yesterday 145kg / 320lb 3 x5 https://youtu.be/jh0x3-iRbKc

Deadlift training yesterday 220kg/485lb 3x3 beltless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SZLXu-jB9g Monday: Seated barbell press 95kg / 210lb 3x5 followed by a standing press single at 100kg/220lb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GueK9q3YyxI

Cheers mate, I'm quite heavy though, fluctuate between 117kg to 125kg

Such is life in a commercial gym. Don't get that crap in a barbell club or spit n sawdust gym.

700 to 1000? not likely

Yeah agreed, which is why most athletes in any sport do the bulk of their training at a moderate intensity.

Very few could do enough true HIIT to beat steady state cardio over the period of a week. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/stead-state-versus-intervals-finally-a-conclusion.html/

This! So much misinformation about HIIT and EPOC. The unfortunate truth is people are better off just doing the boring steady state cardio if calorie burn is the goal, it's really that simple.

You won't build any strength from HIIT, that's quite a popular myth. Yes you can burn more cals in a shorter time, but if it's true HIIT you won't be able to do it very often which means over the space of a week you'll burn less calories than steady state cardio which you can do everyday without it impacting on other…

It's impossible to estimate, however you can search for strength training under cardio and it gives you a figure, but it's highly inaccurate. * Use strength training to maintain your muscle mass * * Use steady state cardio to burn calories

I've squatted 501lb/227.5kg x1

As you're a beginner, your issue is likely to be lifting technique. Forget add anything else, improve your technique and the numbers will go up.

My best total is 1,455 (converted from kg) 502lb squat 375lb bench 579lb deadlift Wilks 372.042 Also have a 253lb standing overhead press. :)

Simple 3 days a week for. Push, Pull, Legs

I tested my paused bench on Monday. Got 155kg/341lb but failed the 160kg/352lb attempt just before. I haven't really programmed bench for a while so Im quite happy with it. Thought about maxing out with a bw bench (115kg at 113kg BW) for reps, got to 10 and my heart just wasn't in it to do any more. 155kg/341lb paused…

I should be able to hit 20+ but have never managed it, I always burn out. My best bench is 170kg/374lb at my heaviest. I recently got 17 reps with 100kg/220lb x17 https://youtube.com/watch?v=FyUkwQJxmLs

Please define "true strength"...

Dude, bring them lower. Apart from that nothing much else to say :)

By no means a deal breaker. Can be useful occasionally but cheaper just to have a strong black coffee. Can be a hindrance if you're sensitive to stimulants.

Exercise for the sake of exercise? Yes Programming a routine for a desired outcome or purpose? No

I thought about giving it a go at the end of my session by I was already pretty gassed. Did 180kg/396lb x10 and 140kg/308lb x15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2r0SfIM8Q0

Might give this a go, will be serious cardio as it's about 40% of my max.

Bro, it's been 2 weeks, don't get too caught up in the numbers. These sites are highly inaccurate, they're designed to follow trends rather than give an accurate number. Use the same site each time for the sake of measuring progress.

Lifting heavy is relative. Heavy for a 135lb lifter will be light for a 225lb lifter. The rep range doesn't have to be as low as 5 reps contrary to popular belief. People advocate "heavy lifting" because of the popular gym myth that you need light weights for cutting and heavy weights for bulking.
