    Agree with the gang, not much wrong with that at all mate, great stuff.

    To echo the guys, touch deeper (watch knee angle at that point as well as the obvious loss of back integrity) and the closer the bar stays to you the more advantageous

    Agree with the gang. It’s all about optimising recovery to meet the stimulus

    The boring part of me would suggest not doing anything that would mess your frequency up – but most people would like to enjoy themselves !

    November 10, 2019 at 3:06 pm in reply to: HOW MANY LOADING SETS DO I DO W/ BACK OFF SET

    I think it’s movement dependant

    Heavy compounds, if you go to positive failure (maybe an assisted rep in addition) there is probably little need for an additional set.

    That said, if you are new to training you will probably be able to tolerate a repeat set.

    Also worth noting, and this isn’t aimed at you as I know very little about you other than what you’ve shared, most people do not take their sets to positive failure. In this instance, tolerating repeat sets is more likely.

    Moving on, it is more likely that with isolation movements you have scope to add sets IF necessary.

    I would personally always recommend starting with your minimal adaptive volume and working up.

    Just my view.

    Today I had delts loaded and arms reppy

    Standing smith press (first time I’ve been able to do this)

    Smith wide upright row

    Preacher curl
    Rope curl

    Rope Ext
    Crossover Ext

    Loaded sets were 2 x 6

    Rep work went 1 x 3 part 10% set (fp 15 reps) 1 x 2 part rest pause set (1st fp at 12-15reps)

    Volume will grow over time. Next addition will be a 3rd fp on rest pause set

    More of a tapered front with buckle, thinking leather this time had just a schiek neoprene one before was really comfortable but didn’t feel it gave as much support as the leather ones

    The Rogue Ohio Weightlifting belt is a good one mate.
