Body fat percentage of -2% heading your way.

How did you like the triceps session?

My strongest exercise would be dips, done working sets with +60kg, just adding that for context…

When i stepped up to my dip bars for those negative dips, if someone put a gun to my dick and said ā€œhold yourself at lockout for 2 seconds or I will shootā€ I would have said a last goodbye to the little guy whilst making my sad shakey slow descent with tears in my eyes…

So yeah it was ight, lol.

Damn impressive!

Lol looks like it hurt

Feeling it a bit today, not too severe but im sure it will get worse. Reaching concentric failure is common, everybody has reached concentric failure, I take pretty much every set there. But i can honestly say I can’t remember many times hitting eccentric failure like this. Whether that’s gonna equate to growth is yet to be seen, but im enjoying it.

FWIW, I asked CT about eccentric failure. He suggested to use it sparingly

Thanks for the heads up, Im pretty sure after a few weeks my triceps will tell me its time to stop anyway!

A bodybuilding program where the rep prescription is the number of reps you didn’t think you could do, i.e.

C. Incline curl 3x4

4 reps beyond where your mind is starting to go ā€œnopes, can’t do anotherā€

It’s like what Muhammad Ali said, ā€œyou only count the incline curls when they start to hurt.ā€

Will just add some thoughts on the 30-10-30…

Firstly It needs to be timed accurately so would need a spotter timing. I think the reason the reps didn’t progress this session is possibly because I counted slower on first 30 as the weight felt more comfortable.

Second you need a spotter if pushing to true failure on the reps, this week I failed at lock out going for rep 12. Meaning I had to pause for a second then press back up for second 30, bit of a fuck about.

Thirdly, if you are pushing to true failure that second 30 seconds is not happening.

This method looks like it is very, very hard to gauge effort and progress. Even if you time it with a clock, did you did all your sets the same way, descent at the same rate/speed every time?

For sure

Put some tabata song, I use it for my 30sec hold and it’s perfect

I’ve only done a couple of these, but I did them facing the clock on the wall in the gym that measures seconds. Seemed to work fine for me, however I’ve only done a couple and didn’t quite get the weights right

Thanks,t hose ideas would certainly make it easier and a bit more accurate, . I feel i could focus much more without having to track time myself though.
