  • Yeah there are variations for different results,

    If you’re really going for strength which i used to do then rest until recovered is the best bet.

    Lift only 3 to 8 rep range and make sure you’re warmed up.

    There’s also s great app called Strong it is a one time purchase of about $100 Aud that can track everything.

    You really gotta keep notes to make sure you’re doing progressive overload each week.

    The biggest downside i found with strength training was injuries.

    Much easier to hurt yourself doing 4x 50kg dumbell shoulder presses than 12 25kg ones.



  • For RIR the best way is a spotter when you start,

    Train to actual failure so you know what it is and what it feels like.

    Most people don’t genuinely train to failure or 3rir.

    The next tip is go lighter for the start, really feel the tension and strain in the target muscle group. You’re benching and failing because your triceps give out then you’re not pushing through your pectorals enough etc. Lighter weight can help you find the right technique and hitting failure with 60kg bench is a lot safer then hitting failure with 120kg.

    Second point you can’t gamify they system and take shorter breaks etc since you should aim to do your next set when you are recovered. No longer labourerd breathing. Unless you are training to a system that says 45 second rest then hit what you can.

    Al though there are many different methods, such as myo reps in which you just kinda keep going.

    The snickers bare thing, you wouldn’t put water in your cars fuel tank and expect it to perform so don’t put junk in your body and expect the same results. Same goes with servicing your car and maintaining your body. Rest and relaxation are super important to ensure peak performance.

    Sure eating 10 snikers might get you to the gym and get through a workout but a healthy meal is better.

    The biggest thing I can say though is just keep at it and don’t overcomplicate things. If you’re deadly serious get a trainer
