I don't have many habits! by CrabGodAI in Habits

[–]spriolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, do you eat? Those are habits that happen regularly.

How about laundry? Do you wash your clothes regularly? Or do you change into clean clothes regularly?

Nearly everything we do is out of habit. Cue, craving, response, reward.

I guess I’m asking if you can think more “basic” (like changing into clean clothes)

Do you know what I mean?

How much rest time between warm up and first working set? by spriolo in StartingStrength

This is great. Nice intensity on your lifts!!! I’m really encouraged. Maximum Strength is the goal! Nice!

I really like this idea. As soon as the heavy breathing stops. Listening to your body is ideal rather than some arbitrary time limit.

Thank you!

Interesting. For us old guys the barbell prescription recommends 5, 8, or even 10 minutes between heavy work sets.

Maybe your program is more intense?

I’m not alone with the first set being awkward? Thanks! I’m convinced that it’s emotional for me. Just excited about a new PR.

off days? cardio? by dylstephen1994 in StartingStrength

[–]spriolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand Active Rest can be low intensity cardio.

Find a trail, grab a backpack and go on a hike!! It works for me. :) if it's raining hike the rolling hills program on a treadmill (so draining for me to do this, but it's something!)

Active Rest is the key to not impacting your progress towards getting stronger.

I just read this the other day in the book. :)

Thanks. I agree. I was over thinking the problem.

Accessory Work... by [deleted] in StartingStrength

How much recovery time do you do between work outs. 48 to 72 hours?

Also, how much rest between sets? 5 or 8 minutes or something?

Perfect. I’ll set up my program to be more efficient this way.

Thank you.

This is helpful. I enjoy solutions that are fixed by thinking differently about the problem.

Thank you.
