Goddamn, the workout with the 15lb weights really wrecked me, my shoulders are sore as fuck. My biceps unfortunately, not so much, too heavy for these
-
@coolboymew it gets better with time, keep it up
-
@coolboymew just make sure tomorrow's leg day instead so your arms and shoulder muscles can rest and recuperate
-
@coldacid tomorrow is con day, so no workout for 3 days (none today either, I want to be in top form for tomorrow), but we love the dealer's room so we will get plenty of walking going on
15lb was definitively too much, I can't barely even the usual bicep pumping, it's just a tad too heavy. Instead of working my biceps it does it shoulders. I can do lifts with it just fine
-
@blaaablaaaa @coldacid I'm starting to get less results on normal squats/wide squats, I may need to start mixing it with weights or somewhat. Any tricks if I don't have a bar?
Otherwise I probably need 8-10lb weights. 5lb was too little, but 15 is too much
-
Awesome, I'm switching my workout weeks around a bit and incorporating high rep body weight stuff/circuits/conditioning for two workouts per week. I was able to do high rep heavy squat stuff before but just the bodyweight stuff with tons of reps has my legs so sore.
-
@coolboymew maybe drop down to 10lbs for now until it's comfy, then switch the last set of reps to 15lbs until that's comfy, then the next-last, etc. until you're doing 15lbs for all reps
-
@coolboymew @blaaablaaaa get a bar? :shrugz:
Jumping from 5 to 15 is definitely too much too fast. 10lb jumps shouldn't happen until you're doing at least 30lbs regularly, if you get up to that level; you'll wreck yourself with anything more than a 2x increase

@blaaablaaaa @coldacid dumbbells
Squatting with a single leg don't sound too possible right now, but I'll check it out, thanks
-
What do you have access to? Kettle bells, dumbbells?
Goblet squats with either kb or db, bulgarian split squats, single leg squats, lunges are all things I do either bodyweight or with various weights.
-
@blaaablaaaa @coldacid Goblet squats should be doable with my 15lb weight
-
Goblet squats are a good option. I didn't mean they have to be weighted. Like I said I've been incorporating a lot of bodyweight conditioning into my workouts so higher volume lunges, single leg squats, wrestler squats, things like that are good to build up conditioning and form.
-
@blaaablaaaa @coldacid I was looking into weighted because squats in general are starting to have diminishing results, so
-
Oh yeah I get it, I switch it up all the time. Single leg stuff is really beneficial too for a lot of reason and you won't need weights for a while. One program I saw said to do basically 400 lunges (200 per leg). It was absolutely brutal.
-
@blaaablaaaa @coldacid lunges are that demanding?
-
In rep ranges like that definitely. I was expecting to be able to do it weighted but getting halfway I figured there was no way.
