Is it good to do hyperextensions as a good supplement exercise to help relieve lower back pain when doing barbell squats and deadlifts?

Dude me and my friend were arguing over how long u should rest between sets for

3:53

He said 30-60 sec

3:53

I said 3-4 min

3:53

So we asked a guy and he agreed w my friend

3:53

Can someone tell me who’s right

3:54

30-60 seconds is bad since less energy=less reps

Cold

Can someone tell me who’s right

Neither

3:57

There’s no amount of correct time to rest between sets. It all depends on your goals, and how fast you are able to recover between your sets. So it is completely down to the individual

3:59

But, if I were to pick, I’d say your friend is closest to being wrong because most people shouldn’t be able to recover in just 30-60 seconds. If you are able to then either you’re training with very low intensity, or you are doing an isolation lift. 60 seconds can suit isolation lifts, but in general for compounds 2 minutes is going to the minimum for most people training at a good intensity. More than 2 minutes is also normal, especially if you’re extremely strong lifting close to 1RM or point of failure. A lot of strength athletes rest 5-10 minutes between their sets lol

4:00

Overall, arguing about set time is pointless, and ironically it’s a waste of time

(edited)

I just time it all

4:02

And play with it until it works

4:03

Depends too much on what I'm doing

4:09

At the moment most compounds I set a 2 minute timer

4:10

Rdls 3, isolation 40 seconds and always superset

Leigh

Neither

The guy said your body goes in a “recovery state” after a min

1

4:53

Wasnt having any of it

Leigh

Neither

Wasnt there a study that people who rested 3-4 min rather than 1-2m gained more muscle

4:54

It was a video jeff nippard posted

4:55

The guy was somehow doing 40kg pushdowns

4:55

Dont know what type of demons hes fighting

Cold

The guy was somehow doing 40kg pushdowns

Tricep pushdowns

4:55

Like the guy we asked

Cold

The guy said your body goes in a “recovery state” after a min

“Recovery state”?

5:06

That’s kinda the point

Cold

Wasnt there a study that people who rested 3-4 min rather than 1-2m gained more muscle

Only if it interferes with intensity on the set

Ask him to define what recovery state means, I’d like to hear his answer

5:06

Funny word

5:07

I can't bench im in recovery state

The recovery state is so suboptimal

5:08

If you’re in it you’re losing gains

5:08

Gotta be specifically 0.000001 seconds under it

5:09

If you’re under 0.00001 seconds it’s over (edited)

5:09

Ronnie coleman used to perfect his recovery state

Optimise and take steroids to look natty

1

5:10

5:10

Yes brah

5:10

Leigh

Optimise and take steroids to look natty

Luckily it does come with the confidence boost

5:11

So you can get girls easier

5:11

Leigh

“Recovery state”?

Yeah I told him he was wrong

5:28

And he said he wasnt

5:28

I said the exact same thing as u lmao

5:29

I moved to an actual gym thats close to me and i love it now

5:29

I used to go to a leisure centre so they had like no good equipment

5:29

But this ones got everything i need

5:32

Btw is it normal that im no longer sore after workouts

10 Yeah Buddy.... Ain't nuttin' to it, but ta do it @Cold!

Does that mean ive adapted or am i not working hard enough

Cold

And he said he wasnt

Just agree with them and go along with it or ignore

5:56

Because, something you have to realise is no matter how wrong people are they always like to think they're right still

5:56

Sometimes its like talking to a brick wall

One more thing

6:26

My workout split is 5 days

6:26

But if im going 4 days

6:26

Could i do legs and abs after a workout

6:26

Just to even it out

Cold

Could i do legs and abs after a workout

Like i do chest tricep shoulder

6:26

Then i do legs and abs

Weight or callisthenics

Cold

But if im going 4 days

I’m currently doing bench back, squat arms, dl back, squat bench

135 Yeah Buddy.... Ain't nuttin' to it, but ta do it @dr.Smoko fake PhD!

4 day

6:33

But im switching to squat back and dl bench x2 just punish myself for 12 week

Leigh

Ah I do winter arc all year around then

damn even rule 2 ?

Just do arms whenever I have time

Evil_🦇

damn even rule 2 ?

obv

Evil_🦇

damn even rule 2 ?

He kisses boys

I prefer not to waste my time

My women makes me go gym more

6:42

I get battered if I don’t go

I do upper, lower and skills and just break it into three days

dr.Smoko fake PhD

Weight or callisthenics

Wym

Cold

Wym

Doing legs after some like chest triceps you’ll have zero energy or just not a good legs session

7:06

The most energy demanding stuff should be first

7:07

Unless ur not doing intense lifts for legs

dr.Smoko fake PhD

Doing legs after some like chest triceps you’ll have zero energy or just not a good legs session

Im able to rest for half an hour or so

7:33

Before starting legs

7:34

Or just go get something to eat then comeback

dr.Smoko fake PhD

The most energy demanding stuff should be first

Or literally the thing you just want to work on the most (edited)

dr.Smoko fake PhD

Doing legs after some like chest triceps you’ll have zero energy or just not a good legs session

skill issue

Cold

Btw is it normal that im no longer sore after workouts

Oh ye ur body adapts and nah nah it doesn't neccesarily mean your not working hard enough

12:46

But after a bit of adapting I'd reccomend to go up

12:47

I personally do 2 weeks before going up not sure if thats the best tho

12:47

I'd prob ask Leigh or someone the best time to increase reps/weight

Arcane

135 Yeah Buddy.... Ain't nuttin' to it, but ta do it @dr.Smoko fake PhD!

Jesus christ XD

how are everyone's lifting goals going recently?

i'm new here but i'm really really happy with mine!

21:42

in the past 4 months i've gone from bodyweight dips to weighted dips at +25kg. as well as working on deep and paused deep dips bodyweight. (edited)

21:42

i've been applying a pretty fun progression system and working a lot of my old powerlifting knowledge into this stuff

21:43

but specifically i've spent a lot fo time looking into CNS adaption and supramaximal training

Zero

in the past 4 months i've gone from bodyweight dips to weighted dips at +25kg. as well as working on deep and paused deep dips bodyweight. (edited)

25kg with good depth and a pause is not easy bro

22:00

I'm going to try higher volume with dips to get better

i'm not hitting the super deep ones with the +25's just yet

my best is more like 6-7 bodyweight ATG dips

working on super deep 15's

Zero

working on super deep 15's

very good

22:01

I'm not sure how much I can dip

22:01

body weight?

i'm 90kg

that's really good then

22:01

I'm like 98

and still rocking an excessive amount of body fat

22:01

like i'm not lean

if u cut down you'll probably add like 10-15kg then

Zero

in the past 4 months i've gone from bodyweight dips to weighted dips at +25kg. as well as working on deep and paused deep dips bodyweight. (edited)

Awesome!

22:04

I don't do dips anymore my setup wasn't too stable

22:04

I just do push ups now

one of the challenges i do is paused reps at parallel, past parallel, ATG and then back up to past parallel and then parallel and then lock out at the top again (edited)

I loved deep dips

22:05

I do think parallel ones are more fun

22:05

More weight

yeah i've been doing pyramids 5x5 each weeek

22:07

followed either by bodyweight or by plate loaded dip machine (edited)

22:09

no idea how to post a video to form check

You should be able too i think

exceeds file limit

i'll post something tomorrow, it's taking forever

22:34

anywho, i've started applying the same traiing to pullups so i'll see how those go in the next 4 months (edited)

3 Yeah Buddy.... Ain't nuttin' to it, but ta do it @Zero!

ideally by schristmas i'll be able to do weighted pullups for reps at something like+15kg

Clemens
