I used to have weight goals but I no longer think they're worth the effort. Or if they are, they should be 3RM, 4RM, 5RM, etc. goals. Or maybe doing something simple like 3 sets of 8 and trying to up the poundage very slowly.<br /><br />For me, a 3RM is the best indicator of strength. You can hit a new 1RM by accident/fluke, but a new 3RM takes real improvement.Fatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077817670776459628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775547849492453021.post-7241780488022871352016-11-03T15:03:52.717-07:002016-11-03T15:03:52.717-07:00Pump is life.

My body feels great doing submaximal high volume workouts but whenever I try and test my progress I feel like garbage. Also I can squat 225x15 just fine but 315 for one rep seems impossible.

Lifting-wise, things don't go to shit until you get close to 40 IMO. But my priorities are changing and I don't want to train the way I have to train to move bigger weights. I'd rather do more pump-type stuff and volume than heavy squatmornings.Fatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077817670776459628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775547849492453021.post-84742460993938004602016-11-01T14:46:15.256-07:002016-11-01T14:46:15.256-07:00I need to terms with my abilities too.
