squat is up to 110 kg, also 3x 10 w/ warmup bench staying behind, only 70 kg 3x10, think this is cuz of my hassle with the shoulder injury wonder how my numbers would stack up if i was doin ss or 5x5, maybe it's time  | ||

When I do multiple warmup sets for bench it actually wears me out to the point where I feel my muscles cant recover fully for the actual weight :/ | ||

Those are awesome numbers, but I was wondering: Isn't it dangerous to do 1 rep max sets? | ||

If the weight is too heavy, nothing happens, the bar just doesn't move. Squats or Bench could be more dangerous, but only if you are totally off with your numbers. If you think "yesterday I did 300, let's try 350 today", then yes, it is probably dangerous. If you just try 310 and it is too heavy, there is always ways to get rid of the weight before you get toasted. Besides that, if you challenge yourself with a 1RM or 5RM is basically the same. The fifth rep on a 5RM should be as hard as it gets, you should have to give it your all like in a 1RM. Some people even think higher rep maxes are more dangerous, because there is much more that could go wrong during a long and heavy set. | ||

IIRC, you just recently started. It seems that you may be gifted in terms of strength if your squat is already at 110kg. Deloading sucks. I started this deload on Wednesday when I went to the gym and had absolutely zero motivation for what I was doing after my set of squats, and now it's Saturday. My gym re-opens next Friday, so next week is going to be pretty rough. I might as well brush up on my SC2 while I have the time. | ||

SS would be good for you ret IF your form is pretty good so far. Looks like some pretty good numbers overall. Also, if warmup is tiring you out then cut down on the reps. THey don't have to be higher than your work sets. If you were working up to say 120kg for a set of 3x10 like you were I might start with something like 60kg 1x8; 100 kg 1x3; then hit up 120kg for your 3x10. The point of warmups isn't to tire you out.. it's to get your body warmed up to work with heavier weight. If it's fatiguing you then either drop weight or cut some reps.. and focus on accelerating the bar to get thebody warm | ||

computed 1RM -> http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html went jogging again after like a year of no jogging. goal initially was to run 3km but after about 300m my left foot started to burn/fatigue. i tried my best to land midfoot but it was just too tiring for my feet so i ended up going heel-toe instead. managed to go 1km but that was way short of my original goal. interesting though to note that had i not been lifting weights, i definitely wouldn't have been able to complete the 1km at the pace i was running. | ||

The only carbs I am getting is from milk and some dry fruit/nuts. I just ate a pound of beef stir fry and 1/2 glass of milk and I'm still getting that itch... I never get cravings for carbs lol. Meat just tastes sooo much better. Guess i'm not really cutting out carbs a lot though, they are still like 30% of my diet | ||

During school, I go to the gym in between classes or after classes usually to do strength training. I recently took up muay thai classes to help work on my cardio/endurance/explosiveness as well as getting more tough. Recently, I decided to quit eating junk food in order to save money as well as reduce my unhealthy fat intake. I don't think I am fat, I am considered skinny by most people however, my issue is that when i sit down and slouch (bad habit that i'm working on) I notice all my belly fat and it seems quite large to me. When I'm standing or sitting upright my body seems to have good composition, it's jsut when I bend over and slouch I notice this. Does anybody else have similar experiences? Is this because I have too much belly fat even though I seem normal when I'm upright? Any insight would make me thankful ~ | ||

Theres not a whole lot you can do about it though. When I slouch and see by stomach puff out I can reassure myself that I'm ok by tightening my stomach and my abs bust through all that skin. Also, even when I wear a tighter shirt I notice that when standing up my stomach does not stick unlike most people(well I live America hahaha) so hopefully you have a similardeal. Good luck! | ||
