  • 120 - 150 secs usually, depending on how hard it is. Still getting used to spending more time doing nothing than doing something.

    @jdp I got quite into stronglifts last year and I gradually pared it back as my legs were constantly ruined from squatting a million times a week. Restarting this year, with my own take on it:
    2 sessions per week
    session 1: deadlift and benchpress
    session 2: squats and barbell row OR overhead press
    5x3
    I'm being more cautious with the weight increases and am generally expecting to see slower progress but I'm more interested in getting to a good and sustainable level of full body strength then getting massively strong. Hope that makes sense and is helpful. Not an expert.

  • Thanks, that does help. I'm aiming for the same strength goals as you so I'll give it a go.

    @TGR I do have the app and it hasn't dropped the weights automatically as yet over longer periods so that'll help thanks.

  • I’ve stuck with the app. If it says drop the weight, I drop it. It’s a long term process so I expect hiccups along the way and dropping the weight due to injury or other family/ life reasons is just part of it. Annoying as it is, it makes sense and since it happens once you know to live with it.
