12686624, so how much SHOULD i lift then?...... Posted by murderbear, Mon Dec-29-14 06:50 PM
i mean, obviously 200 reps is for a cat that lives in the gym and thinks he/she can do it safely.
but for a cat like me that just wants to be doing *something* and see some change in body composition from it, whats the science?
3 sets of 6 reps? 8 reps? 10 reps?
4 sets?
i mean, it all depends on the weight and the exercise, but in general should i be walking away comfortably or getting carried away and placed gently in my locker til i can walk again?
for instance, i started benching, like recently....im a big dude, but i cant bench for shit...maybe long arms, weak chest, tear in my shoulder, whatever
so i got 185 on it, going for 3 sets of 6
got halfway through the third set and my man on the other bench came over to help get it off me.
so, should i keep at that?
or should i stick to 135, where i can prolly do 5 sets of 10?
