SRSLY, Id like to lift more weight. You think I should cut my sets and reps in half on the way up? [/quote]
I personally like to ramp in a similar fashion, but I would cut the reps for sure. You want to be able to do more working sets close to your working max, IMO. [/quote]
Everything below your optimum weight is more or less a warmup. Given your activation circuit, I agree with Veg that you need to cut the upswing down a bit. Your working sets should be more work than the ramp-up. [/quote]
So when the hell were you fuckers going to tell me I was doing it wrong?!!?! 
THANK YOU [/quote]
Don’t make me run wild on you!!! :P[/quote]

Not sure if this is a repost, but…
THAT’S IT!!! GET YO ASS BACK IN DIS HOUSE!!!
I didn’t mention the high reps because I figured thats what you liked. 5x5 is a great standard. I find anything much above 5-8 tends to break in form. I train to be stronger, lift heavier so my goal is less reps and more weight.
do you get excited like Jane Fonda banging your head over reps or do you get glorious when you’re lifting heavier every couple of weeks?
as far as I’m concerned there is no wrong or right. there is do.
IH always had me lessen my warm up sets from 5 to 3 reps if I was trying to go for a weight PR.

I git pretty excited talking to Beast27195 on the telephone and glorious over higher weight, so I need to change it up a bit.

shucks…
I bet he has a nice deep baritone voice too
I would def encourage women to lift heavier. I’m sure your in capable hands with the Beast, although I do recall crazy 100 squat rep feats…
Bre just likes to run free on her workouts. Run wild Bre. Run like the wind with your glute bridges and fire hydrants. Rep. Rep on!
I’ve tried to stay with more of a simple 5x5 thing on my big moves. Usually I do high reps to work on activation or practice something after I’ve tried to do some heavy work. Some of my accessories are wild and free, and unpredictable. Oh yeah, I can be wild too Bre. I haven’t any fancy programs like 5-3-1 yet.

I’ll be sure to repost back on just how capable he is

Hah!! I know that pic! I had it on a horsey calendar growing up. I’m pretty sure it was “June”
I will rep like the wind with activation and rope in the ramping reps and see what happens. And I have no doubt you can be wild too miss thang!
no reason why you can’t have both…
lift heavy with the main lifts and go hog wild high rep crazy with the accessory stuff.
NO SHAME IN REPS–a girl of my own heart!! :)!!!
Just sayin…:)! go wild like that stallion in Puff’s picture!
Heavy singles are okay. But hammering out the reps makes me feel physically capable and self-sufficient–like I’m good for an honest day of work digging out stumps or chopping firewood. Sometimes I think I missed my calling as a day laborer.
Okay…guess who was right??/ Y’ALL WERE!!! Dont know when you were going to tell me to knock it the fuck off…but I learned today what’s up you little secret keepers. J/K. It’s my own damn fault.
10km row challenge to sweat the weekend scum out of me forever.
1000m 2:05.2/500m 28s/m - ass was burning
2min rest
1000m 2:10.0/500m 28s/m - ass stopped burning, quads began to burn
2min rest
1000m 2:09.9/500m 28s/m - throat burning… also realizing I need to work my quads more
2min rest
1000m 2:16.7/500m 27/m - this was more chill
2min rest
1000m 2:11.3/500m 29/m - I had to lay on the floor for a min after this one
6min rest
2000m 2:16.0/500m 27/m - not so bad, but when I increased my stroke rate I felt body burn like hitting the wall, really had to make up time at the end
4min rest
1000m 2:09.29/500m this was kind of awesome. I was gonna go the last 3000, but I was making such good time, I cut my losses.
4min rest
2000m 2:18/500m 27s/m kind of lame, but a nice cool down, I kept my form really good. Could have drove it down if I split it up, but I just wanted to be done.
Benching = using PMPM/Brute’s technique for getting the bar or a bastardized version there of. This was great ladies, thank you !!!
bar x 10 x 1
22,5 x 6 x 1
27,5 x 3 x 1
32,5 x 5 x 1
37,5 x 4 x 4 - more than ever
32,5 x 5 x 8 - more and STRONGER than ever…thanks for your help!
27,5 x 6 x 1 - the bench tank was empty.
Important thing I realized is that I was depending on my shoulder to lock out at higher weights. Once I widened my grip, got lower on the bench, brought my feet back and out, this all became easier and a function of my chest. I cant wait to try it again actually! perhaps with a little less rowing beforehand…
Overhead Press practice
bar x 10 x 1 - Beast you’re right, benching IS the best warm up for this. You need your traps.lats to be activated. I felt a lot tighter on these.
17,5 x 5 x 1
22,5 x 5 x 1
27,5 x 3 x 1 - I was a bit tired here, and didnt want to kill my shoulders. Also cant wait to try again.
some yoga, bridges, stretching, headstands.
done.

(doing the cabbage patch and progressing to Bankhead Bounce) Go, Beauty! It’s your birthday!
Not really your birthday, but you get the idea. Good work in here! I’m a lil fuzzy regarding the bench => OHP, but okay…as long as you’re feeling it and doing it, it’s awesome! Guess we both went buckwild with the bench today…
I think we need an audio sample of Beast’s voice!!!
Serious benchin’ there Bre. I like it.
You are a rowing maniac.
so, we were right? good. glad to see it work out for ya!
