Your Level of INTENSITY

[Lord_Suston]

How do all of you fellow weihglifters train??? What kind of intensity does your workout have???

 

[b fold the truth]

My intensity differs from day to day and from session to session.

Hmmm, so does mine as well. When I train for fighting or sprinting I train in a sprinter fasion of explosive speed followed by rest intervarls.

But when weightlifting I usually train to the piont where I can't flex becaue evry fiber has been recruited to the max. But when I am on cycle I seem to puke more, go figure...

 

[Robert Jan]

i have never puked or passed out in a gym. but i go shaky, my vision can go blurry, I sweat like a horse, breathe heavily, feel out of balance when i walk... thats pretty much it.

and only when squatting or deading too really...
ive never seen people get this kinda thing from like benching

You can judge your intensity by how you feel post workout. With great intensity comes huge amounts of endorphins in your blood stream, i swear it almost feels like morphine. i think this is why i workout. this feeling.

My intensity also varies depending on a lot of things. Some days I come in there with my game face on and grunting and just start throwing weights around..others I stumble into the gym and sit at the front counter for 15 mins before training(but the girls there are hot). Most of the time even if I come in sleepwalking I manage to pull it together and move some weights around, sweat a bit, and get a good pump. I have found ways to get myself psyched up in there and training is something I enjoy so its never like I am forced to be there. If anything sometimes its hard to leave the gym.

My intensity also varies. Some days I'm kicking major ass, others I'm just going through the motions. Way too hit and miss for my liking.

 

[lemur]

out of breath and sweating like a pig.. i dont puke often enough for me to vote otherwise

 

[Legion Kreinak]

I never change intensity, unless I'm increasing the weight for my sets but like I always go in with the same fire and rage as always, because things always tend to be going down an obscure path in my life. Yeppppp, a dark cloud always hangs over my head, so I work it off on my home gym, or practicing my kicks and the like.

 

[Drunken_Weasel]

practice your kicks kicking cats and dogs? .. j/k man

 

[Legion Kreinak]

Nah, I hunt weasels. =P

b fold i think your physique is awesome whats ur stats , cycles like?

 

[Thaibox]

I only have serious things(passing out, puking, loss of vision) happen on leg days, and occasionally deads. Otherwise, I just feel high when I leave the gym.

 

[barbell265]

Most days my intensity is heavy sweating and labored breathing, sometimes seeing those little golden bars everywhere after really straining. I have however choked/gagged before, blown snot out of my nose,(kinda grose and not done in front of very many peeps thank god!). For the most part I go home and feel like all is right with the world, I feel a little weak but pumped up and looking very solild and vascular. I LOVE IT!!

 

[Exodus]

most of the time i leave the gym looking like some who missed their insulin shot, tremmors galore, and small........ but once i get home and eat....... thats when the endorphins kick in and everything is merry with the world.

but on squat days is when i almost pass out every workout.

EXACTLY. that's what i strive for each workout.

 

[ast27]

Also varies for me.

I am certain that after squatting, I will be physically and mentally exhausted. I may become a bit nauseous. I hang around the gym afterwards for a bit before I get in my car.

Back day is probably the next most strenuous, as I do deads.

Arm day and shoulder day are the least draining on my body. Mostly after arm day I will feel weak when carrying something. Both days I'll be very sweaty.

I think my intesity levels are decent. You'd have to ask my training partners...

I keep offering to smack him before he lifts, and piss him off more, but then he says he'd have to smack me back, and I don't think that'd be very motivating for me.

Yeah, being smacked in the face doesn't seem like it would motivate me at all...not even if I got to smack you back..just seems kinda stupid. Like headbutting the bar.

I admit that I do have my own little "utterances" and things that I do to get "there". I lift pissed...as it were. But all that foolishness stays in the gym where it belongs...IMO
