Lazy is what depending on the program is.. I wouldnt say its any ingredient for great success. Beginners program only

Sounds about right. Jack's intensity and next set requirement makes sense for 20 min rest, depending on what he migh be doing. Blood pressure on proper heavy lifts goes through the roof. Regular gym goer is not stressing the body anywhere near that level for lifts.

physio.

You can get better with that injury i have had it myself a long time ago. just takes rest and gentle mobillity. You will come back stronger Too.

Yes.

Right you are. Mn not Mg

depends on your purpose or goal for training. You don't necessarily need to do 1RM at all, as part of training. Working in a lower volume range is arguably better for this kind of lift.

Sure it helps but, if you are letting go of sub 200kg with overhand then either you could do with better grip ( the deads will help) or you might need to raise the hip height and ensure you have slack taken out of the lift. Mixed grip can have it's own down sides. Deads are a compound movement so grip improves with weight. You achieve balance so it's a better idea. unless you are chasing the isolation for the back more . In that case, someone suggested straps before. This guy is starting out. If his grip is flagging at the relatively low weights then I'm guessing form is the issue.

.

No mixed your form is probably not great. Hips need tp be higher likely. Squatting up will mean not enough tension in arms in setup. The slack causes a jerk in motion which taxes grip. Your back will fail first done right. Either that or keep going till grip is stronger

Deadlift 220kg Birds. In your next deadlift session.. Do it once at least & receive a virtual high five. You will do it ha ha... No seriously lift 220.... I am confident you can do it.

1)If you think you can . You might 2)If you think you have to . You will 3)If you think you can't . You won't. For consideration. Eliminate 3 . Change 1 to 2. You will probably find you are doing this to some degree without thinking about it. Eg:If I was to set a goal of Deadlift 350kg I've never done it. Maybe I think I can't do it now subconciously. Maybe I think I can 'eventually' lift it. I certainly don't think I have to. Given this, if deadlifts were part of my regular training, I would definately not get there anytime real soon. Any progress attempts I will make will be restrained and comfortable and I will probably enjoy the program, while taking forever to go nowhere near 350kg.

It's true in practice these are all going on. Which one do you consider the most important in determining magnitude of increases & improvements?

To consider... What are your increases going to be determined by? 1)What you think you can do? or 2) What you think you 'have' to do? or 3) What you think you 'cant' do? What are people's answer to this one; 1,2 or 3?

Bozodos, the point is that peoples potential is higher than they themselves sometimes think. This gap between belief /commitment and capabillity physically is what a coach can help with greatly. Assuming form is spot on also. Last night i helped a mate train who i had shown how to deadlift a few weeks earlier. I stopped him before he lifted what he considered a great improvement weight and added 40kgs to the bar. He protested that it was impossible for him. I told him he could do it . I also told him to not bother trying if he wasnt going to listen and reload the lighter weight. He lifted it. It was very hard for him but, the form was great. It is much harder to challenge yourself on a relatively new movement without a coach. Or to break mental crutches with familiar ones. With two experienced coaches you can safely train very deeply in the performance zone. So with even a single rep its not easy to manage to work in that zone.

Thats fine but, more is also more rest days & more food. It sounds like your muscles aren't recovered enough. Provided you put in properly on a workout and have eaten and rested enough , the next time you lift will be stronger without fail. On bench this has a proviso that you have a strong shoulder girdle that matches the pressing movements. Often people go backwards/static when they hit that point. I do have to keep in mind I do these exercises 3 times a week though so it's not a case of absolute balls to the wall go for it everytime. Have something else in mind also. ' get to x '. If 3 times a week is not right or something needs to change then change it. Go hard or go home. But, rationalise the strategy and change tactics to suit. Food for thought .You can train one day a month/quarter and get stronger, if you work hard in the session. How fast you increase is determined by your repair requirements vs intervals of training.

My son i started training on them. He couldnt do even 1. Does 6 now. Very few sessions lots of time of between attempts. Do negatives After you fail full. 1 set only . Rest 3 to 7 days . Dont bother with lat pull downs. Dont do both. When you are failing its best not to push last rep. When u start out its easy to overtrain the movement.

It is going to go away with treatment & rest. Thats how you repair injuries. Ice packs. Often as you can. You can't foam roll and things till the inflamation is settled. As you discovered it just makes it worse sometimes. You will get better.

The injections will ease the pain from inflamation and spasms. Rest. Don't go to the gym until the physio clears you.

pullups (no pause strict) 29

just did 29 in a row. Just couldn't get up all the way for 30. Resisted a hang pause for the last one. so close.

It was crazy ha ha... 480kg hack on the same day. This machine was a bit scary. The last safety above pretzel level , I would squat this deeper . failure was not an option.. I trained times when few people were around. I knicked most of the 20kg plates. Workout just loading them and unloading.

Here are some ideas ; * Sucking in your gut to activate the abbs (wrong). Instead stabilise the abs. pull air in (breathe in) and push the gut out * not using glutes enough * You are trying to squat too low with the low bar. If you don't have the extra hip flexibillity your back will round. It will be your hip movement. Squats done right don't bugger up your lower back. Bad form is going to tell you in the lower back.
