Monty Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Today will be an interesting day. Will up my squats from 165lbs to 185lbs. Will try and complete my regular reps, but may have to go down 2-3 reps in my set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also being an idiot and upping the weight every week until I hit 335. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also being an idiot and upping the weight every week until I hit 335. Thanks for the advice. I’ve been staying at 165 for a while now. Although I don’t want to go too hard, I do feel like 185 isn’t unrealistic, at all. I’m only 15 months into working out, so I don’t expect to be anywhere near where seasoned gym rats are at, but I also know I should push myself.

If you're not confident pushing it with the weight, you could simply push it with the reps at your current weight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoKnows Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ego lifting is good for nothing except, injuries, and developing bad form. 30 minutes ago, Monty said: Thanks for the advice.

I'd go to the gym and see how 165 feels first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I’m not relaxing with the weight I do at the gym. If you can do 3x10 @ 165 you can definitely do 185 for a few solid reps. It's good to push yourself, but you don't want to overdue it. I don't know how comfortable you are in the gym but you can probably do 205 for 3x3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Well not only was that pleasantly surprising that I could do 205x3, but a real sense of accomplishment. March 2019, I could do 35lbs, total. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your squat can look something like this Bar - Warmup 135 x 12 - 1 set 165 x 10 - 2 sets 205 x 3/5 - 3 sets 135 x max reps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up doing the following: 205x3 for 4 sets 215Xx2 for 1 set But I appreciate the advice. My next squat day is this Monday (today was supposed to be a day of 8 different exercises in circuit training), but I’m slowly going away from circuits. So experimented today. Monday I’ll try what you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan I recommended is pretty good, I find it works for my squat and bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan I recommended is pretty good, I find it works for my squat and bench. Bench I’m not good, at all. Again, considering that I started in March 2019, and could barely lift anything, I’m really happy where I’m at. My arms definitely have definition, and have for a long time. But I can only bench 135. So NOT heavy. As for dumbbells, I switch between 30lbs per arm to 35lbs, just depends on the amount of reps (anywhere from 12-15). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
