You'd hope that that style of machine would have some sort of reference table available to translate the numbers to kg rating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you lift with rocks in a green bag you will still make gains if you add more rocks every time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can deadlift 160kg for 6 to 8. I can squat around 120 for 10 maybe. I usually work around 60 to 80% of my 1rm. I haven't attempted my maximums yet cos I don't want to snap my sh*t up even though I'm currently sidelined. I've lifted bugger all for about a month since I hurt my back. I know my strength hasn't gone down because I tried a workout after a 2 week break and it had gone up. I know my endurance will have taken a hit though. It sucks man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm not looking to even push big numbers with my lifting (especially with regard to the bench/squad/dead common big number pushes). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll achieve this in 2 to 3 years?! Maybe I won't get there? I'll try at least. I want to try and get at least one state power lifting record. I've got a long road ahead, that's for sure.

ROB83R Member 1,632 Member For: 7y 11m 5d Gender: Not Telling Location: Radioactive wasteland Posted 05/11/16 04:50 AM Share Posted 05/11/16 04:50 AM Is there any merit in lifting big for a couple reps and trying to go heavier each week? I was was always told to go big weights low reps and you'll improve strength quicker. And cause I'm a noob at lifting science. What is RM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
