MG's log

Hi MG you are going strong keep it up! This time you are doing high reps 15-20. Just wondering if you have done lower reps like you warm up then get 12 reps add more weight get 10 reps add more weight and get 8 reps. How did that work for you?

Oh I didn’t know that, there is always ways to train around anything that gets in your way. I to mostly do 10-15 rep range. But sometimes I’m strong and on those days I’ll go to the 10-8 rep range on compound lifts. But it’s not that often any more I’ll be on level 46 in a couple months(46 years old but I look at it as levels like a video game not in years) only on squats and deadlifts I go to 7-8 rep range. Yesterday I got 10 reps on both 2 sets of 405 on squats. That’s strong to me I’ve never been a 1-2 rep guy ever. I’m sure I could be in the 500lb club but nah.
