#linearprogression

If you're like I, then you're probably way past making big time #gainz in a #linearprogression. Bro. What the means is no longer can you increase the weights on your exercises by 5lbs a week. Just try it and depending on the weight relative to the lifter he/she will stale or even get hurt. Do YOU want to be forced to take time off from the gym? Yeah, I didn't think so! 😛😛😛 So one great thing you can do is simply decrease the amount of weight you add to the bar. How? By using #fractionalplates! I started using the 1.25lb plates in my gym a few months ago when I knew I could no longer sustain five pound jumps and reverted to using percentages. I felt safer using approximate numbers (or close to them!) as I attempted to break plateaus, which is exactly why these plates can be beyond beneficial to your training, regardless of if you train in #powerlifting, #powerbodybuilding, #bodybuilding or even just general #strengthtraining. So with that in mind I just ordered a pair of these 1.25lb plates from #44sport to assist me in times where I visit a gym other than my own and these plates aren't readily available. Do you rely on fractional or #microplates? Let me know in the comments!

Spent a month away from the gym. Body, CNS and especially my brain needed it. So today was my third day back and I decided to start over again. So I jumped on to Reg Park's 5x5 for the first time, a three month #linearprogression. No math needed. Too bad Jerry had to blast his shitty disco music when I got to the power rack to #squat. Between that and listening to Third Eye Bitch, at least Onyx broke out during my last #benchpress set! But still, fuck you Jerry. Anyway, here are my lame ass sets of #backextensions @3x10, squat@65x5x5, bench@55x5x5 and #deadlift @115x5x5. So lame and weak I might as well start calling myself Sparkles. So I won't be filming my workouts all the unless it's an important update. #confessionsofanangrymetalhead #metalhead #metalheadlifters #liftwithrage #liftwithhatred #oldschoolbodybuilding #regpark #regpark5x5 #regpark5x5training #strongandshapelygym #ihateyou #yourmothersucksdicksinhell (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FDDCep8iw/?igshid=1lw48uyaivudo
