How do you know how much to weigh? Do you just lift and let your workouts dictate your appetite? Or do you have a plan for it? Do you just try to keep the same weight and get stronger? I’m so confused on how to approach this subject.
How much you weigh should be a goal, based on what you want to look like and how you want to perform. Focus on performance, eat to achieve that, and how you look will follow suit.
Hello! I wanted to start your 3 days gzcl program on boostcamp, but I dont understand have some questions. When I type my bench press 5 reps max is 100 kg it shows that should start with 85kg 5x3, so how is each set 85% intensity? Second thing is that If I can do 100 kg for 5 reps, normally like 95kg 3x6 doesnt dropping weight to 85kg 5x3 drop my strength too? It seems like after 3 months even with perfect progression I will be in same place.
@@johnnytightlips991 after some time I still think that there’s something wrong about 3 day version of GZCLP. It was originally designed for 4 days. First of all, 1rp max should be only used for t1 lifts, because t2 is too easy, and doing max reps only in set 3 after doing 2 easy/medium sets is not proper way to manage your abilities, you should do harder sets first. It would be in lower rep range like t1. 2. You basically drop your weight and its ok with new program, but with 3 days version i ,,progressed” to my original weight after about month, and I didn’t feel stronger to this moment, its like 3 week waste. After this progression is ok. 3. Most important, first 2 points very just what I didnt like - The frequency on these 3 days version just isnt ok. You do t1 big lift every 10 days. In first week (and it repeats again) you hot chest in one training with 6 sets. Its too low volume and frequency for effective muscle building and too low frequency for effective strength training either. 4 days version of GZCLP is good if not very good, but 3 days version sucks with this style of training.
