Plates is plates, everything's relative - you could be working at a higher percieved effort than the big gorilla opposite deadlifting 300kg. That's what I tell myself anyway.
I'm going to simplify my "training everyday alternate sets stupid reverse pyramid epic gainzz mega fatigue" platform, now the weather in sunny (lol) Scotland is allegedly above zero degrees i'm cycling in a couple of days per week. Colleague who lifts stupid weights tells me to just do bench/squat/deadlift 2x per week, heavy sets 5x3 or 5x5, no fucking about - sounds fair. This advice comes as I discover there's a sport science lab downstairs from my office with a leg press / smith bench press / trap bar deadlift setup & a ton of plates that I can use before work... coincidence?
