Just started working out at the start of June. Me and a friend started a competition on who could
get to 100lb for 10 reps on incline dumbbell bench. So i bought some equipment and have been working out at home.
Just finished my workout yesterday and did 95lb 9/9/9/8/6/5. Rest is between 5 and 8 minutes per set. As of now dumbbell incline bench is the only exercise I have been doing EoD (palms faceing each other). I really struggle with being consistent so I just want to slowly add exercises 1 at a time as my endurance gets better. Because I really donât have the stamina at this time to give a lot of intensity for multiple lifts.
what would be a good exercise to add on my off day? I donât want to do squats or deadlifts until i get into better shape. also I got a gym membership on Monday so I will have access to most standard equipment.
Thinking of adding a Rowing exercise or maybe leg press. Any opinions?
Is the challenge with 100 lb DBs or a pair of 50s? I find it hard to believe you can hit three sets of nine with 95s while saying youâre worried about your stamina.
And why are you resting 5-8 minutes between sets?
You do one exercise for six sets with 5-8 minutes of rest between each set every other day???
I canât help you if youâre worried about doing more than two exercises in a session.
To be honest the only concrete goal I have to far is getting to 100âs in incline dumbbell press. My long term goal would be to work my stamina up do to a 2x per week full body rotation.
Iâm not really concerned with how long it takes me. I just want to stay consistent and slowly add more exercises.
I work 12 hour days so when i get off it take a lot of motivation just to show up. So it is just a battle right now. Just trying to make it a habit so I donât think about it so much
Unless youâre 400 lbs of muscle, thatâs still good work. Iâve been training for a long ass time and I canât hit 100s for 10. Iâm 6â5" and 225-230.
Youâre underestimating yourself. Recover a bit like suggested above, hit 100s x 10, and then move on to some serious training for long term results. Thereâs no reason to do one lift, then two, then three and so on. Find a split that fits your schedule and do it. 1-2 minutes rest between sets is plenty. If youâre tired and have to decrease weight then do it.
yeah youâre well into medically obese territory you need to forget everything else and get down to âonlyâ 300lbs like yesterday. Not to mention you get corona youâre fucked.
Run through heavy fatloss templates off the site. This a great start(can forget the sprints for nowâŠ) Push through for a few weeks and the âstaminaâ will come
Whatever you do, rest no more than 2 mins for main lift and 30 secs/supersets for everything else
