the direct aim of my resistance training atm is strength training. f*ck sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (the PUMP)

also, if you do 100kg for 10 reps there isnt enough weight on the barbell
Im not saying you should do 100x10. Im saying that 100x5 is not enough if youre capable of doing 135x5 the very same day. Youre obviously not pushing it if its 35kgs under your max. But if you ARE going to do 100kgs why stop at 5 when you can do 10? you will get more strength benefits doing 10 reps than 5 of the same weight. The only reason to stop at 5 would be if it was a heavy warm up set. And if that was the case you wouldnt really count it as a legit set.

So yes, do add weight.
If strength is your goal you should be doing 1, 2, 3 rep sets aswell.

What the hell sort of routine is that?



I had the shittest day ever today. I had to put triceps on with back/shoulders and it ended up being a crap day. I felt like shit and hated what I saw in the mirror. Im injured too so I cant train lower body and its making me depressed. I feel fat and weak, my routine and diet have all crumbled. FML
