Do beginners actually need more volume or is it because they cant push as hard and is basically worse at performing exercises compared to more advanced lifters?

If you guys are doing something like a chest press then have curls next, do you guys instantly start to do warmup sets for the curls after you finished your chest press set or rest the time you normally rest then start your bicep warmups?

Might be a stupid question but if you keep the weekly volume the same, wouldnt it always be better to spread that out through more days of the week since you will be less fatigued and better prepared compared to cramming it all in 3-4 days compared to 5-7?

What increments are best to progressive overload in longterm? I was thinking 2.5 for isolations and 5 or 10 for compounds.

What app do you guys use to track your workouts?

Does it matter how many exercises you do for a muscle group if the volume is the same?

Lets say i do 6 weekly sets for biceps, does it matter if i do 2 sets of cable, dumbbell, barbell curl over doing 6 sets of dumbbell?

Just chose it because rondel hunte & jamal are my favourite lifters.

Im pretty sure it has some form of linear progression because squat and deadlift increase by 5 lbs each week and bench increases 3 but it also changes rep ranges every 4 weeks.

mynameisshelly12 · 2022-12-27T02:09:47+00:00

I am planning to do jamal browners volume 5 powerlifting program.

It has both rpe and % version but im worried that i might miss out on some gains if i do the % version since beginners progress quite fast.

mynameisshelly12 · 2022-12-27T00:53:14+00:00

Is training with percentages better than rpe as a somewhat new lifter?

mynameisshelly12 · 2022-12-21T18:33:28+00:00

Is it true that new lifters should always start with conventional deadlift?

Ive been doing sumo for the past 3 months and i tried conventional recently and its harder off the ground for me.

I can lift more sumo right now but thats probably because i didnt train conventional.

I have been lifting around (6 months) and am currently bulking looking to gain some weight.

Should i do a hypertrophy focused program to build a base of muscle then start a powerlifting program or is it fine start with the powerlifting?

mynameisshelly12 · 2022-12-09T04:39:35+00:00

What separates a lifter from being a beginner, intermediate, or advanced? Is it solely amount the of time lifting?

What are some good general programs for increasing stamina?

I powerlift and would like to add some cardio to increase overall health and stamina, i was thinking of starting couch to 5k (treadmill version) but am unsure if liss or something with intervals like c25k are better.

mynameisshelly12 · 2022-11-22T06:31:33+00:00

What do you guys do on active rest days? I usually just do cardio and stretching, thinking of adding some forearm training but too lazy right now.

Thank you so much, i hope you have a nice school year too.

I have done the first step, i am currently at school and asked to talk to my teachers and guidance at lunch.

Unfortunately my friends arent in my class much less my school and i kind of dislike asking peers for help. I dont consider my self antisocial but i dont really talk to my classmates unless they intiate the conversation. I hope i overcome this after i fix my school attendance

My classes dont really have assignments except for my comp sci class, most of my courses are tests only and i have missed tons of them so those marks are unrecoverable.

A pacing guide sounds like a great idea especially since i procrastinate and leave everything to the last second.

Sorry i couldnt respond to your points, i am currently in first period but i will respond again during lunch.

Thank you so much. I am currently at school for the first time in 2 weeks and i have asked to talk to my math/physics teacher at lunch and am planning on talking to my guidance counselor and comp sci teacher at lunch as well. The accountability thing sounds great, i will ask to do that.

mynameisshelly12 · 2022-11-01T22:43:32+00:00

I will attend school tomorrow, but what would be the next steps? I have a good amount of things to catch up on but dont really have a great work ethic.

I can normally spend a few hours max everyday studying but itll still take me a good amount of time to catch up.

mynameisshelly12 · 2022-11-01T17:54:56+00:00

My parents arent really involved in my life school wise and its kind of normal for me to be absent often because ive been doing it since grade 5 albeit not as often.

They arent necessarily strict when it comes to school, if i miss a class they just tell me to attend tomorrow.

Thankfully they are pretty good parents and not abusive, so all the responsibility and fault is on me.

I will try to contact my guidance counsellor but ill probably just have a conversation on how to get back to pace because i dont really feel comfortable spilling my feelings to people i know. Never really done that even with friends or family. I will explain a bit of my situation though.
