Post Edited: 09.02.2014 @ 19:33 PM by MattD90 jrepp said: How do you plan out your paused squat work?? Or is adam sending you the numbers to do still?? Yeah still following his program on the 6th run through now (9 or 10 week runs) Usually like 120 for lots of sets of 2, then 130, 140 over three weeks or so. Sometimes smaller jumps. Usually do them after main heavy squat sesh on a monday or sometimes on a wednesday with stiff legs, just depends which version of the program we are doing (there's a few) If it's a couple weeks between programs after a comp etc I do stuff like my 150x3 PB | |||

| In the interest of you not getting people jump down your throat I'm just going to warn you in advance the answer is simply: try things and see what's stronger There can be no better answer that someone anonymously on the internet can tell you with just some body measurements lol All the best | |||

Post Edited: 06.02.2014 @ 11:54 AM by MattD90 Before dissing GPs, what you have to remember is, a massive amount of the population is so damn stupid. The vast majority of "my bloody GP is useless" stories I have ever heard, I can explain in my head with "because you are stupid" but I usually just bite my tongue. | |||

Post Edited: 06.02.2014 @ 11:46 AM by MattD90 lol no one can tell you on the internet. You should really just know by your own (raw) liftingIf you're the kind of person who finds squatting upright very easy, putting weight on your squat easy, but your deadlift is only a little bigger or even the same as your squat, you're probably got relatively short femurs for your torso If you're the kind of person who (despite mobility, shoes etc) always has a little lean to your squat but your deadlift is much bigger than it, and you put weight on your deadlift quite easily, you've probably got relatively long femurs/gangly legs These are generalisations but hold fairly tight as long as mobility is good and you are not new to lifting Also, i dont really see why it matters lol ? sure you just do what's strongest? like oh i'll try squatting wider/nattorw, wow i'm 10kg stronger on that.. i'll do more of it. ? | |||

FAT_SAM said:On the subject of health the mental side of lifting is what gets to me the most! I get depressed if I don't manage to beat previous rep best etc. For example if one week I do incline dumbells first and get 14 reps with 70kg bells if I don't manage at least 15 next time I do them first in my session I will start losing sleep over it! This mentality kept me overeating week after week for years out of fear of having a 'bad session'. Also leads to overuse of pre workouts and other stims before training because I was thinking if I missed that I would be weak. It's all a huge mind game and to me has always been about beating myself as opposed to beating others in competition. This is something else to consider - can you mentally handle 1 step back 2 steps forward or has it got to be half a step forward all the time? i think a constant need to improve can lead to physical health being ignored because having a 's**t session' sounds worse! Your posts are very insightful. Enjoy reading them You should start a blog or something, or just post more lol (serious) | |||

| Some observations of mine: A lot of people bulls**t with them in that they don't go from a dead hang and their chin doesn't clear the bar They are definitely easier if you're lighter, but +40 is a reasonable goal for pretty much anyone. There are like 150kg guys who can do +40 over +60 for reps is next level shi | |||
