DuTCH Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 3 to 4 times 20 rep squats is plenty in my book.If I do them I do only 2 squat sessions a week can't handle more. Do you increase the weight ín every workout? ← Yes, I try to increase the weight every workout by 2,5kg - time will tell when the body gives up! ← You mean you increase it every workout, or every week? Every workout would be too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 You mean you increase it every workout, or every week? Every workout would be too much! ← I'll try to incease the weight every workout (2,5kg) - we'll see when it'll be too much! I only increase the weight if I reach 20 reps.

FrankyBoy Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Good job Burki. I ordered a powerrack on friday so I will be able to do some squats at home also. The main reason I wanted the rack was to train the A.A. using lockouts and holds to prepare for the next germans. I was in the gym at friday evening and did a full body workout. Today I'm just sore.

FrankyBoy Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 08/29/2005 Restarting Gregs volume program. Volume on the #1 Actually I started yesterday but I hadn't chalk with me so I did only one set: Left: 37 Right: 74 On high-rep sets my pinky tends to slip off the handle, so chalk is a must for me. Todays workout Left: 43 PR (40->43),33 (bad set),25 (bad set),23,27,28,26 Right: 80 PR (77->80),66,62,50,47,57,53 Total Left: 205 PR for a 7 sets session (197->205) Right: 415 PR for a 7 sets session (410->415) Skin burns quite evil now, I truely missed that.

pdoire Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Franky are you doing click type reps..or fuller ones on the lower grippers? When I did it..the lower grippers had wider reps and the tougher ones had less ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 I have used the same type of reps thoughout the whole program when I used it the first time. All reps were about parallel. Actually I open each gripper to the same width. For some that might be a bit less then parallel, depending on the spring geometry. The only thing that changes is the speed with which the reps are performed. As easier the gripper is, as faster the reps are performed.

pdoire Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I think that way will be WAY more beneficial than the "clicks" method. I used the clicks on the tougher grippers and didn't find much transfer to either MM set or the sweep. My new program which is a hybrid of the high volume and KTA has only parallel reps. Good job Franky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
