Switching like that can help. Was also gonna suggest maybe doing a lighter weight x 6 or 8 reps for 3 sets for a while. Or do the 135 x 5, then maybe 145 x 3. Then a 1 rep max. --- I wash myself with a rag on stiiick ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't have the control not to eat. My family is a here visiting me. And they brought in food. And that food just being there maybe eat. Anyone else have that trouble. If food isn't around you are okay. But if something there .. you going to have to have a bite.
Note I am not going crazy about, I am just talking about maybe having a chicken wing when I wanted to be done eating. I know the way I presented it. It sounds like I just want ham on stuff. --- If you say I am wrong, then prove that you are right. ... Copied to Clipboard!

135 x 3 x 10Question - is this the best way? I just did the same weight, but my sets were 12, 9, and 7. I basically did each set to muscle failure, which I thought increases weight increases faster. Also, my weight seems to be around 176 now. Yay! Down 5.5 since the New Year without dieting and while gaining muscle. --- Currently playing: Sea of Stars ... Copied to Clipboard!

Question - is this the best way? I've never been a till failure until like last workouts. Always been a leave one or two reps left in the tank guy. Havent researched in a while but think always going to failure is bad for the central nervous system as far as helping with weight lifting --- I wash myself with a rag on stiiick ...

I don't know anything about how many reps you should be doing. So I am just saying what I do not telling anyone that it is right, or they are wrong.
What I do is 2 sets of 8. Then I go to failure just on the last one. Sometimes that is more sometimes that is less than ate. (lol I am leaving that ate there since that is what I typed and it is kind of funny) --- If you say I am wrong, then prove that you are right. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've never been a till failure until like last workouts.Googled it and some mixed responses. It sounds like going to failure on each set can build mass the fastest, but also needs proper recovery. Since I only lift like twice a week, I think I am okay. I admittedly do feel like I will pass out after some reps. --- Currently playing: Sea of Stars ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is that safe?Mostly. I just get dizzy when I stand up sometimes. I feel fine afterward. I have grown muscle mass super fast with only 2 workouts a week. I also do slow reps of about 5 seconds, but the last rep usually takes me 10 to 15 seconds. --- Currently playing: Sea of Stars ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thanks Duran. I am doing like you suggested with meatballs . Just take it out before hand .That will help me with waiting the last second to cook. That stresses me out. Putting the day before would help me with that.

Question - is this the best way?Out of curiosity, by "failure" do you mean like you're completely unable to finish a rep even if your life depended on it or like you probably can't do one more rep because that last one was such a struggle? Your muscles should be completely done for a minute or so for true failure. If it's the struggle one, that probably is ideal. What normal people view as until failure is usually still one or two reps in reserve which is actually perfect for our age range. It's something you'll be able to recover from. We old, man. Another good way to tell if you've actually got more in the tank is to superset into something that uses the exact same muscles to test. If you bench but can immediately do like 5 push-ups without rest, then you probably had another rep or so left in there. If it's only like 2, then that's good. Also, 12 to 7 is a little more than typical for the drop off in reps. You may want to take a little more rest in between those last two sets and see if you can shorten that gap slightly. If all else fails, 3 sets isn't set in stone. Try adding another set to see more results. Some people respond better to more stimulus that way. 3 is a good starting point for most people though. If you're progessing even slightly from week to week, then you're doing great though. No need to fiddle with it. Whatever you're doing is working. You may have to adjust later as your body adapts though. --- I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Your muscles should be completely done for a minute or so for true failure.Usually I stop on the struggle one. As I mentioned, 10 to 15 seconds for the last rep instead of 5 seconds. So I guess not true failure. I usually rest 3 minutes between each rep. I progress almost every week. Last 3 weeks or so I didn't, but I only went once a week due to moving. As long as I go twice a week, I progress. --- Currently playing: Super Mario Bros Wonder ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you start hitting an extended plateau there are a ton of different things to look at and try, but generally if what you're doing is working at a decent rate and you're not hurting yourself, it's a good idea to just keep at it. --- I don't believe in belts.

I have this Pasta waiting to be eaten and I am not sure how to cook it.These! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a06caa89.jpg Cover it in Sauce, a little more than necessary. Add water to the sauce to stretch it. Before you eat them you can let them thaw or cook them in the microwave for 5+ minutes. You can use the top to hold the glass plate so you don't burn your hand and the heat from the glass will keep the food warm in the middle. So the true answer is set up the plates immediately after cooking and freeze them when the food cools. In your case thaw them out in the container and then store them in separate plates. ...

And then just rip it up save it different days .Its funny you mention that, I legit go to sams club for chicken, but i get the grilled chicken frozen patties since im not a fan of rotisserie, each patty is like 110 calories and then i get a bunch of their thick baguette bread, a dense, big sandwich is like 300 or so calories, and it fills me right up, sometimes i'll have 3 sandwiches, go work out, and have another, and still be at a deficit, highly recommend by the way --- MSI B360-A PRO|EVGA FTW3 8Gb Rtx 3070ti DDR4 2400 32Gb G.skill| i5 8600K 3.6Ghz Steam: That Hero Luka "Fact and fiction, where do you draw the line?" ...
