^ To Get shredded Up For Summer*
Aiming at 7% Body Fat
Yeah leg muscles such as calves, hamstrings are usually trained with high reps, I don't know the science behind it but everyone seems to do it.
It all comes down to technique and form. Technique and form outweigh weight in any exercise - everyone without a penis on their brain knows this. Keep to it, 10kg each hand for a girl is fairly impressive, I know when I first started lifting I started off with 5kg dumbells (I had no idea what I was doing) and now I can do 17.5kg.

how do i get tone but not *too* big
Specify? If you want to tone your body, effectively what you want to do is reduce the amount of weight your lifting and add more reps. You won't gain as much muscle as you would if you were doing a heavier weight at lower reps, so being "*too* big" isn't really a problem.Originally Posted by Omie Jay
Cardio
You dont wanna look like those girls that look like animals..
lol that wont happen....
High Reps... As much as you can every set til you cant even do 1 more rep....
^ Bodyweight**
or light weight
learning material for everyone in this thread
I've actually heard it would be wise to persist with low reps and high weight during ur cutting phase as to maintain strength and muscle mass. Cutting in a sense is taking a few steps back and is conducive to losing muscle mass. Maintaining strength supposedly helps retain muscle during your cut or so i've heardListen up brahs
High rep training is for getting ripped, not adding Mass
For the ppl like me, im half way through my bulk season
Gonna start bodyweight exercises and cardio as soon as i finish my HSC

8-12 work best for me. Used to do lower reps when I was younger.

The raccoon is often called a 'robber' for its foraging habits, the mask.

lol what a fucking stupid article. I only read the tl;dr part at the end, but it just said "do whatever for your macros bro but healthy stuff is good"
anyway I improved my squat depth today because I realised I wasn't going deep enough
Got below parallel and still maintained a 55kg 3x5
also up to 55kg on 5x5 for bench press
i have a minor case of invisible lat syndrome
i love going ass to grass i go way past parallel and feel so fucking tough
i'm going to try 70kg squatz tomorrow. i've been doing 60 for ~5-8
going to try and get 2-3 at 70kg *nervous*

"A safe rule is the number of bowel movements that you have a day equals or exceeds the number of eggs you consume each day".
brb having 7-10 bowel movements per day, sounds legit.
intermittent fasting y/n?
99% of the stuff ive read is positive

yes. i do it on uni days bcuz i dont feel hungry at uni.
I've read that IF is good if you can maintain if, but when you stop your body is more likely to store surplus everything as fat
but you know. everything you read, there will be something that says the exact opposite just do what works for you
it's just like the frequent feeding thing. There is a plethora of research that says you should eat small meals frequently for metabolism etc but there is just as much saying that it doesn't matter
also, the whole complex carbs vs sugar thing. I posted it here somewhere, a study found that all that mattered (in regards to fat loss/gain) was net carbs. the actual form didn't matter. so you know. Of course the physiological effect will be different (spikes in blood sugar will make you more hungry) but yeah. w/e

Atm, my body is progressing pretty similarly across most of my lifts, which I've found to be strange when comparing to other people. However, I think it's because they're much further along their training than I am.
Wednesday night I hit:
Squat - 57.5kg 3x5
Bench - 57.5kg 3x5 (PB)
I tried doing Pendlay Rows for 55kg but my form was pretty shoddy as my wrist was taking too much of the weight for me. I think I lack the mobility to do Pendlay rows because I'm also getting more strain in my quads just trying to keep myself on the floor than I am in my back/rear delts trying to lift the weight.
Today I'll be attempting:
Overhead Press - 30kg 3x5
Lateral raises - 10-15kg 3x5
Deadlifts - 72.5kg 3x5
Holy, you can bench as much as you can squat haha and i know that feel about the wrists man

also, got back to heavier lifts today and struggled so much with squats. 2 months ago, 110kg for 5 felt ok but i struggled with 95. feels bad man

how many pull ups can you do lolsmoth?
i'm really annoyed at how slowly my pull ups are progressing compared to my squat
I couldn't do 1 lol but then i started doing negatives but my grip is what lets me down so i think I'm going to keep doing them until i can do 8 really really slow negatives and my grip doesn't give way
