Nice work, do you find you get better results from doing heaps sets on the leg press, as opposed to just doing say 3 sets an going heavier?

i dont know, but i cant start off with anything heavy i wont be able to go down very far and likely to pull something so i like to warmup a bit first.

Good progress mate - just wondering how you have found low rep ranges in the past? - I prefer them for adding Mass - (pretty much train like that ll the time as you can never be too big to be fair). ref - leg press 8 - 10 reps.

i have found them good for adding strength, want to get stronger atm so reps will most likely be dropping back, what would you recommend for deads/squats/bench reps ?

Depends how comfortable you are with the movements -

I'll do squats to 4-6 reps and deads to 2-3 rep max in a workout. bench 4 -6 reps is my limit as I trashed my rotators when I first started out.

i.e

Flat bench -

set 1 - 8 reps (not to failure - 80% weight) say 160kg

set 2 - 8 reps (not to failure - 85% weight) @ 170kg

set 3 - 6-8 reps (95% weight - stop 1 rep before you think you'll fail) @ 180-185kg

set 4 - 4-6 reps 100% weight aiming to fail completely at 4 reps (200kg 4 clean reps)

I never drop the weight in an exercise - only go up.

Havent been mate - 10kg of quality spare tyre. I have only just settled business ... needed time to get my head in the right space.

Am hunting out a membership this week. (have done a few casuals lately and comfortably pec flyes 35kg d/b / incline d/b 45kg for reps .... would only take about 6 weeks to work my way back to that strength level. :wink:
