I'm just easing back into it so I don't injure myself. 50 minutes ago, MBAF said: do 4 weeks of 1RM deadlifts. Start at 100kg. 1 rep. Increase by 10k till you cant lift it. Drop back by 5kg then increase by 5kg until you cant lift it.... should increase your 1RM in 4 weeks by 20 or 30kg atleast and your 80%max by the same amount as long everything else is right. Strength training is good like that. You can go up in strength very quickly with the right program. Edited 27/11/18 02:01 AM by Puffwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is supposed to be strength reps but I've never got better gains on my quads from anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 7y 8m 3d Posted 27/11/18 03:23 AM Share Posted 27/11/18 03:23 AM yeah it really depends on the person. I train (or should say used too) train them twice a week. One day heavy the other light but if your more on your feet than not 5x5 seems to be the go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole 6 days in a row of training to call it my first week! Here's some baby beginner 1rms based off various sets done this week. Well they aren't really 1rms as I'm still working through doms and stretching etc so I'm not trying to go heavy yet. Bench: 100kg, previous was 137kg Squat: 120kg, previous was 165kg Deadlift: didn't try it but let's just say it's 180kg. Previous was 200-205kg. I've got some catching up to do and hopefully can add 50% to the current numbers in 12 months of lifting, chicken eating and creatine chugging!!!
