I'm all over the place with what I include and don't include. But yeah, like TT says, it doesn't matter as long as you're consistent and you know what you're including and what you're not.

So I include 20kg for the olympic bar, but one of the branches of my gym has 2 EZ bars and both feel as though they're different weights - so I just write down EZ bar curls (big one/small one) and I know that I haven't included the weight of the bar but I know which bar I used which weights on. Barbells - I just write the weight of each barbell, not combined weight.

I've only done those leg presses a few times and didn't add the weight of the sleigh - just didn't think about it. So I probably won't in future for consistency.

Yeah I've always been confused by this too

Weird how everyone else just knows :think:

Yeah, we always "just knew" all that stuff :roll: or we learned it last week n we're smart-asses :grin:

CC makes good points - I never include the sled weight, but make sure to use the same machine for consistency.

Some gyms take care to label each metal slab in a stack machine - ours it tends to be like 5kg, 7 or 9kg increments but it varies from machine to machine... so it's often just as easy for you to note 4 plates, five plates or whatever.

Ok kewl well next week I will post up my weights because I really need to start writing them down.

And ima try TT's pyramid scheme :nod: lol normally I don't get sucked in by these things but it just makes so much sense... hehe

No training today. But just found out that my gym is relocating, amalgamating and changing its name. Its guna become one of those Fitness Plus 24 hour gyms. I'm stoked. Kan't wait to go in the middle of the nite and try out that treadmill thing on OkGos here it goes again video clip. Whoop!! :grin:

Ummm had a major blonde moment this evening and showed up for body combat just as the class was ending :shifty: Grrr how am I supposed to remember when its at a different time every day!!

At least I got in 30 min of cardio this morning and some arms.

I even tried your pyramid scheme TT!! Didn't write any weights down though coz I forgot my notebook that I bought specially.

Obviously my mind was elsewhere today :clubbed:

Where is your head huh huh

:shifty: ummm... not where it should be!!

So how did you find adding weight and progressively dropping reps peachy???

I actually found it really gud!! Felt like a way better workout because I ended up doing a whole lot more reps in total. And when I got to the heavier ones my muscles were all warmed up so it was easier.

I think I'm guna stick with it :grin:

I did that once with a pump class - people were leaving the class, already put away their stuff, and I started setting up. Instructor looks at me like I'm mad, since I always went to his class same time every Friday :oops:

my sets always go 12/10/8/6 progressively getting heavier before droping weight and pumping out a final 12...

I like this style training for myself too AO but would think better suited for peachy being more like 15/15/12/10 something like that seeing as her goals being to get leaner rather than gain mass however you would know better than me her requirements.....

As long as she's in a calorie deficit and doing cardio she'll lean up and wouldn't gain much, if any mass, unless using AAS. The misconception is light weight/higher reps gives greater muscle definition/separation. I think this stems from "toning" exercises such as cable cross overs, leg extensions etc that are often done for higher reps. It's really an individual thing, seeing what your body responds to best. In saying that 15 reps can still use a heavy ass weight, especially on legs and back. Not sure if your were implying using a light weight TT, just my 2c worth cause it kills me when I see women not training heavy to get "tone". I had a client doing 6pps on leg press, deep deep reps too, for 10 reps and she lost 15kg over 4 months. We trained in this heavy fashion for everything. Her butt picked up, legs slimmed down etc

Hey pete na I wasnt implying light weight im with you on the training to failure man or woman I have been working with morattigirl the last 6 weeks and her heavy training has resulted in some excellent definition and size but I think the 12/10/8/6 range is more suited to building mass and strength than definition and all round "hotness" :pfft:

Mmm love that all round hotness. Peachy seems to have that!

Hopefully not out of line by saying so...

Whoa freaky thats exactly what I been doing :shock:

t kills me when I see women not training heavy

Well I don't know if what I'm lifting is heavy compared to others but I'm making sure I can only just make the reps above. So I'm not cruising!!

Must be about time for another photo update.....

Um i been watching your journal mate and I don't see any pics in there! :naughty:

I did that once with a pump class - people were leaving the class, already put away their stuff, and I started setting up. Instructor looks at me like I'm mad, since I always went to his class same time every Friday

Lol!!! I don't understand how I can get it right every week and then BAM get it so wrong :huh:

When I say heavy I mean for you, not comparing you to other people. As long as you feel you can't do another rep, it's heavy. If it feels heavy in your hands/on your shoulders etc, it's heavy.

Some people say the weight doesn't matter and that your body doesn't know the difference. f*ck that, your body certainly knows when you're squatting 140kg or 220kg.

Keep on trucking how you are though, you do train "heavy" for your own capabilities, you train hard and you're progressing which is the whole intent in training
