It seems that my 1rms might not have dropped by much at all. Over 3 sets of 12 to 15, everything is still fairly easily in the middle of the intermediate strength level, although about 20kg less than before. I'm deliberately keeping the weights, especially the shoulder press light for a while yet as I think that is the thing that disrupts my shoulder the most. Still sh*ts me though cos what's the point of lifting weights if you can't lift all of them at once? /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to be able to get back out there and make some gainz. That's pretty much the only thing I do for a hobby right now and it sucked not being able to keep it going properly.

After warm up sets I did 3 sets of 10 with 120kg with a 2 minute rest in between. Fark that sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I stretched it to 3 minutes it would have been much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no concept of that sort of thing because I don't do proper organised powerlifting training like that, so 30sec-1min (untimed) is fine between my sets.

In saying that if you want to get stronger you need to lift heavier weight and that will involve taking longer rests than just a minute or so. Try it out sometime just for a laugh. You'll notice that you can lift more weight for more sets if you take longer rest breaks. More weight can include just a 2% to 5% increase on your usual weight lifted.

Still looking to progress through kettlebell movement workouts at this stage. Definitely a noticeable change in what I like to call "practical strength" from this sort of training. Slowly gaining flexibility, too, which was an original desire for this switch in direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
