Gmesh Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I actually tried squating closer to my max today; usually I do half a dozen sets of squats, so I usually do them around 225. I ended up doing three sets of 250 after two of 225 (8 per), so I guess my max is higher than I thought. What would y'all define as maxing? A set of 8 (maybe 10) with perfect form? Less? More? Uhm One? With perfect form... You little over-achiever haha. Nice squats tbh :thumbsup: Shout to LowFatMilk for the sig!

Lenticular_J Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 What would y'all define as maxing? A set of 8 (maybe 10) with perfect form? Less? More? I'd define that as general max. Absolute, I'd say is two or three as high as you can go, perfect form. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I always regarded maxing as a single rep, since that's the maximum weight you could lift at all. But tbh with squats, if you can do one you can probably do a few. Deadlifted 242 on Friday for 5 reps which broke my record, I was pretty pleased with that.

Gmesh Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well in my school, atleast, it is considered a single rep.

RichieMcD Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Any of you guys taking supplements? Been on some pretty [cabbage]ty stuff till now, it's cheap but there's no great results from it. As soon as I get my summer job, I'm doing 3 months on the BSN mass stack (It's 3 different supplements, 2 of which are meant to be done on 3 month cycles, the 3rd item is only effective if taken with the other 2) and I'm thinking Optimum Nutrition Gold X for my protein, seems pretty good, both Whey and Casein in each serving meaning the Whey is quick release while the Casein is slowly released hours after the workout. Any recommendations on supplements? And yes, I'd call a "max" a single rep of the highest you can do, usually if you can do a 2nd or a 3rd rep, you should be able to throw 5-10 extra on to it and do 1 of that.

Zierro Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I heard that cutting off circulation to your arms when you are working out gives good results. But that was from the same person who said exposure to farts can give you pink eye. So, what do you 99 Strength experts have to say about this?

But that was from the same person who said exposure to farts can give you pink eye. So, what do you 99 Strength experts have to say about this? I never heard of that and if anything I think it would make it worse considering there would be less oxygen and nutrients reaching the muscles during the workout. Sounds more like an urban myth than anything, same as pink eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
