Letsgrow's natty 90 day transformation log

[Colstreamer]

Lol. What do you consider high volume? Do you consider what I do high volume? After all everything is relative.

100 squats
80 leg presses
24 deadlifts/clean&jerk - this is the plan.

Pretty much anything over 120 reps per body part I consider high volume. But then there's the question of high reps or lots of sets or both? I'm doing them in sets of 10-20 because I can't use much weight, I banged out a few squats with 125kg this week and I'm still paying for it. I'm not gonna go above 60kg (132lbs) on anything except deads occasionally.


Defeat is the stepping stone to victory.

Interesting. I always aim to lift as much as I can for as many reps as I can (to a point, not going to do 50 reps on curls on 1 set). Usually end up doing no more than 15 reps for 1 set. There are times I do 25+ reps per set but that is usually to just throw a curveball at my training and shock the body, I concentrate on the squeeze for those high rep days and slow movements.

I used to do 3 sets of 10 per exercise, then it went to 3 sets of 8 @ 80% my 1 rep max, then after I joined EF I increased the sets to 4-5 and reps went down to 4-8 so the weight could increase. I've had much better results lifting heavy with lower reps. I still like to go for high reps though, as I'm training for kickboxing as well as bodybuilding functional muscle is important to me, no point having a knockout punch if you can only throw 1 at a time.

Nice. Yeah sounds good. There are def times in every workout where I will only get 5 reps or so for an exercise, so I guess that is my way for increasing strength with some bit of conditioning.
