For weightlifting, is there such thing as too many sets/reps?
I just want to be stronger, not looking into bulking or what nots... Example, for deadlifts, I do 60kg - 4 sets, 10 reps. For fifth set, I will add 10kg and do till fail. Or should I do it differently? Go heavier, less reps? |

QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Jan 7 2016, 02:16 AM) I don't think you should go to failure for deadlifts. Form is very important for deadlift or you might snap some shit up. ditto on that.   QUOTE(champlaos11 @ Jan 7 2016, 07:39 AM) If you want to be stronger then you should do lower reps range but with heavier weights and keep doing them with progressive overload. That is how you can get stronger. progressive overload in each sets? or session(day)?or any way is fine, as long as progressively i'm going heavier (with correct form of course.) btw, when having DOMs, do you guys still workout the same muscles with same intensity or go lighter? or don't at all but focus other muscle group instead? |

QUOTE(champlaos11 @ Jan 7 2016, 05:01 PM) Each session (day). I only get DOMS when I have been skipping w/o for sometime, or when my routine is more intense than usual.It depends. For beginners, better to rest first and focus on other muscle groups. How many days of DOMs are you talking about? If I've been skipping w/o and kick start back, DOMS can last up to 5 days (3 days severe hard to move). Else it's just 1-2 days of slight discomfort. And I don't get it the day after w/o, but 2 days after. QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Jan 7 2016, 05:03 PM) You should have a proper program with proper progressive overloading plan........ OK thanks.DOMS don't mean much to me personally... Unless it's VERY severe like making me unable to move properly |
