@Mobster Bro! I don’t think I have ever seen a dumbbell that big. Holy shit!! Serious iron!!
 
@Mobster Bro! I don’t think I have ever seen a dumbbell that big. Holy shit!! Serious iron!!
We made one to 125kg/275lbs and I've one that's at 100kg/220lbs in my home gym.

From today (need to take my proper camera to do a nicer one)

Wrist Roller.webp
 
How much time in between sets with that kind of weight?
You go I go (trained with a gym user called Callum on this). Weight was light as f**k for me. I can move that real quick. I have a 3-inch thick rack mounted roller I've done loads more on

Friday
Was a sluggish kinda day
Close Grip Bench Press
the plan was 175kg x 3 x 3. But it ended up being 5 x 2 x 175kg/385lbs. I've had a look at the last time I went heavy it was 3 x 3 so I need to be back to this

Iso-Lateral Mid-Row
to 120kg/264lbs x 4

Thick Handled Dumbbell
67.5kg/148.5lbs +set up

While it got done the week as a whole was a grind. I have a certain positive energy when I'm at the gym if all the other angles are covered and it was lacking since Monday but esp today

Friday
Worked got done but it was HARD. Pulldowns were good
Close Grip Bench Press
to 175kg/385lbs x 2 x 3 and 1 x 2

s/s (during w/ups)

Pulldowns with close Mag Grip
to stack + 75kg (eqv to 165kg/363lbs in the hands)

Thick Handled Dumbbell Work
set up + 77.5kg/170.5lbs x 3 x 1

Does that mean you max out the full stack then add something on top of it?

Vanlife is correct. Stack means all the stack. Plus a Atlas Gym Pin and 75kg in plates

But he's also wrong cos I didn't use the thin plates lol so I COULD load more but 75kg added was enough for now

It's a 21p stack. Each plate is 10kg but it's a double ratio pulley so that means 210kg becomes 126kg in the hands. I added 75kg and the pin to 210kg for 285kg or the eqv of 171kg (I forgot it's 21 and not 20 earlier).

It might seem as faff but at that level it's best to know 100% what's going on.

I wonder what it's like to be at your level

It'd depend on differing aspects. I'll give you a few.

Gym kit.
I DO look at many machines etc and wonder how I can max it out. You've not see me mention their seated press machine cos I maxed that out 5 minutes after it came off the truck lol. Plus it's a proper faff to use as it suits the shorter user (both the owners., brothers, are way shorter than I am).

If they had 100kg dumbbells I'd wanna use them. This, obviously, partly ego (well d'uh lol) and my mind set

The effect on the body.
It can and often is fkin brutal. take my 460kg/1014lbs Hatfield Squat and two weeks later the 380kg x 4. The former meant an aching hip (bone deep not muscle) and not being able to tie my shoes up for 2 days. So sliders and slip flops it is then. The latter made me shit blood for 4 days (I've had it checked and it's just me straining - nothing serious). That's disconcerting but doesn't affect my life as such.

Mind set
I do a LOT of visualizing. I've been thinking about my upcoming leg session tomorrow since Friday. For example I wanna do 4-8 reps x 360kg (almost 800lbs)

My plan is already written out in my book

You also need to know I've been doing 'my thing' DECADES. Like 46 years. How can I not be strong after all that time? It gives you a level of certainty about X or Y weight that a novice can't have. By way of example I doubt I'll go below 3 plates aside on bench before I die. And that's what less than 2% of people ever will do and most gym users too

Food
Not as important as it would be to a well conditioned bodybuilder but it can help. Steak the night before helps as does oatmeal before training (I train in the am).

I'm also able to 'understand thy self'. There are many athletes who cannot verbalize or 'get it' as to why they do what do. Once you 'get it' it becomes just a series of steps to the target. If I fail I analyze it and I'll do the same if I succeed

While a 'bird' sitting on kit makes for a great shot men weigh more so are more likely to be used. I always tag, where possible, said gym and gym bros on Insta etc
 
So, as above, I plan ahead. The next two sessions are already written up in my paper training diary. Here's the plan (compare that to tomorrows actual post):

Mon
Hatfield Squat
130kg x 8, 230kg x 8 and 360kg x 4-8 (1)

Leg Press
270kg x 8, 470kg x 8 and 750kg+ x 8 (2)

Lying Leg Curls
8p x 8, 17p x 8 r/p (3)
s/s

Leg Extensions

2 x stack x 26 (4)

There are no notes in my book. I know what I'm doing lol but I'll add notes here. No work, inc podcasts, of any kind so time is not an issue.

1) Ideally 6 or more. 360kg is close to 800lbs (792lbs). The squat is really the only exercise that properly matters here. Everything else is secondary.

2) Either, which is kind of a faff cos it'll mean gathering all the thin plates from across the gym and then putting them away after (it's a lot of work) do 730-750kg in plates OR 700+kg and two crew members and maxing it like last time. But 5 reps. Zero need as such so purely based on feel. Reps is better for muscle stimulus vs strength

3) I CAN rep, in normal cadence, 15p. But 17 is one at a time with 8-10 seconds between.

I super set between the LC and LE.

4) I'd prefer a heavier stack. This is 125kg/275lbs

Oh I see you are working up to a volume at a lower weight that in theory allows you to do a certain amount at the higher weight

Unlike bodybuilding where X sets x Y MIGHT equate to a 1/4 inch in lifting you CAN (kinda) program it out.

The trick is to NOT test the 1RM until you need to. But, using myself as an example, if I can get the planned bench targets (and I'm a fraction behind) then I SHOULD hit my previous, but one, max of 200kg (all time best is 202.5kg).

There are always variables, bad days and the like. But I ease off when I hit a max then reattack the lift. I look at what was done before and again as an example when I did the 460kg/1014lb x 1Hatfield I think I hit 365kg x 4-6 or so. Arguably, in the next week I'll be ahead. Legs are on point but I want to be better on the chest strength.
 
While a 'bird' sitting on kit makes for a great shot men weigh more so are more likely to be used. I always tag, where possible, said gym and gym bros on Insta etc

Nice work on the tagging, it really does help with things. The apps were getting a bit on top of me. I spent an average if 5 hours a day on YouTube which I know because I need to sit in a busy gym locker-room hooked up to the power point while doing it and that's pretty crazy behaviour.

I deleted YouTube & Instagram on Day 3 of joining Evo and feel great about it - haven't thought about it until now atcually. I can still hear the adverts ringing in my brain.

Have fun with the big men @Mobster

It'd depend on differing aspects. I'll give you a few.

Gym kit.
I DO look at many machines etc and wonder how I can max it out. You've not see me mention their seated press machine cos I maxed that out 5 minutes after it came off the truck lol. Plus it's a proper faff to use as it suits the shorter user (both the owners., brothers, are way shorter than I am).

If they had 100kg dumbbells I'd wanna use them. This, obviously, partly ego (well d'uh lol) and my mind set

The effect on the body.
It can and often is fkin brutal. take my 460kg/1014lbs Hatfield Squat and two weeks later the 380kg x 4. The former meant an aching hip (bone deep not muscle) and not being able to tie my shoes up for 2 days. So sliders and slip flops it is then. The latter made me shit blood for 4 days (I've had it checked and it's just me straining - nothing serious). That's disconcerting but doesn't affect my life as such.

Mind set
I do a LOT of visualizing. I've been thinking about my upcoming leg session tomorrow since Friday. For example I wanna do 4-8 reps x 360kg (almost 800lbs)

My plan is already written out in my book

You also need to know I've been doing 'my thing' DECADES. Like 46 years. How can I not be strong after all that time? It gives you a level of certainty about X or Y weight that a novice can't have. By way of example I doubt I'll go below 3 plates aside on bench before I die. And that's what less than 2% of people ever will do and most gym users too

Food
Not as important as it would be to a well conditioned bodybuilder but it can help. Steak the night before helps as does oatmeal before training (I train in the am).

I'm also able to 'understand thy self'. There are many athletes who cannot verbalize or 'get it' as to why they do what do. Once you 'get it' it becomes just a series of steps to the target. If I fail I analyze it and I'll do the same if I succeed
I think yes having a plan sticking to it visualizing def helps. I always say the years of consistency says a lot for keeping strength over time! You cannot get that way and sustain it unless you have continuity in your sport. Well I know it seems to be the case for me & Mr RR. Genetics has a bit to do with it too. But I honestly believe it’s being relatively consistent is a bulk of it. We have 35 years under our belts so yes I totally agree with you. Years of doing it. And that’s the only thing I can logically come up with why am I as strong as I am at 54?! Cuz for for sure know it’s not just PEDs!! It’s the dedication! Keep grinding @Mobster it Keri’s is all on our toes!! 💪🌸

Monday
Very nearly done myself an injury. Arguably by being greedy and going off plan gym wise
Hatfield Squat
bar x 12 very quick reps, 140kg x 8 fast reps, 230kg x 8 reps, 300kg x 1 belt only rep, 380kg (I'd originally planned to do 5-8 reps with this vs my previous 4 reps at 380kg some months ago). I then loaded 470kg/1036lbs. I failed. As in coming up about 3-inches and then back down again and everyone around me(3 buddies) trying to help me. My thumbs needed yanking out of the holes in the power rack and the front of the bench I was sitting on with 1000+lbs on my shoulders (lol) was squashing my 'taint' ha ha (thank f**k not my b*lls).

Once my thumbs were out I could move about and get out from under the bar. I then called it a day. Thankfully no proper issues. There is a video ;)
