Currently at the gym. I'm just kinda going with the ever second day type of approach at the moment, that way it's not such a huge commitment as every day and I don't feel like I'm having to force myself as much to do something I don't want want to do every day. This way I'm hoping as time goes on I'll want to start coming more, maybe.

it's definitely easy for me to get to the gym, probably almost as easy as you, Nath, but I have my schedule and I like to keep to it :)

 

solid work, Dan. Better to get some sort of schedule rather than trying to go every day, imho. Going every day you need to be specifically separating your workouts anyway, or you'll over-train.

Going every day is a bad idea. It gives you no time to recover and make gainz. 

 

A beginner should be doing full body workouts every 2nd day.

 

A beginner can't overtrain Keith, they don't have enough strength or endurance.

haha, maybe not specifically over-training, but it'll definitely make you feel worse than you should, from the DOMS.

That it will. 

 

Gainz are made outside the gym in the form of eating and resting. 

 

The gym is just a tool to stimulate your body so it triggers all the stuff to make you grow. 

 

Get in and get out I reckon :)

My exercises are split.

Then there's legs in there as well, so I'm getting a decent rest in between each muscle type.

Note to self: Drinking half a litre of jim beam the night before a workout is a bad idea. 

 

Lol this is definitely a day for being stubborn.

What are some realistic 18 month strength numbers? Obviously we're all different but I'm interested in people's opinions.

 

I've been training for about 6 months now and was just curious what numbers people are getting at the 18 month mark.

First workout of the year done and was it fun??? Fark no!!!

 

The shed was 35 degrees and I'm still sweating it out from new years...

 

Current 1rm based on 5 rep sets is;

 

Bench: 128kg

Squat: 151kg

Deadlift: 186kg

 

I spose I can make those 5 rep lifts in the next 6 months but we'll have to wait and see. :training:
