Ugh, where has this forum thread been for the past 4 months. Trying to keep enough strength to still punch hard but I am not sure what I still need to do lifting wise. Any advice on lifts I can do with about 2-5 days of days to potentially lift?
In general, as I follow a more HIT style of lifting, I actually lift about three days a week with a bro-split that works for me.
My main lifts I try to improve are Dumbbell Bench Press, an Incline Machine Press on a machine I really like, Reverse Grip Pulldowns, Deadlifts, and a Row machine that feels nice. I do isolation moves to pre-exhaust, but that's a different topic. Anyways, that's ches/back day.
For shoulders and arms, I really like Spider Curls, Preacher Curls, Tricep Pushdowns, weighted Dips, and Skullcrushers superset with a close grip press. For delts it's Reverse Flies, Side Laterals, and Overhead Press either with a bar or dumbbells.
For legs, I do Squats, Leg Curls, Leg Extensions, Dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts, and Hack Squats. I go really crazy on legs, though. I do abs on leg day too, mostly a dropset on a weighted crunch.
I tend to keep volume low, only one working set an exercise to failure or sometimes further if I have a partner to assist with forced reps, added resistance, or iso-holds. I warm up very thoroughly though, and my workouts are always less than an hour.
I do more conditioning work throughout the week, but it's much less intense.
Double post, but I feel this is worth it.
Bodybuilding icon Boston Loyd passed this morning, he was a pillar of the sport and one of the most honest men involved in it. He was heavily abusive of PEDs, as he used himself as a lab rat and unfortunately it caught up to him.
His friends all said that he was extremely kind and loyal, and it's a major loss to all that knew him well.
But in a way, it's correct, as it's in a wheelchair you goes. If you fuck up badly enough working out.
