he was just doing dips on the dip bar using his own body weight as far as pre existing condition just generally knocked around from playing footy for yearsDid he have a pre existing condition? or was using extra weight?
I only go twice per week, one day upper and second day lower.
Feel like I'm not progressing, despite my lifts all increasing. Probably just a mental thing.
My single leg squats are up to 40kg x 6 now, much better than the 10kg I started on when I couldn't even keep my balance for 5 reps.
I'll be rapt when I can push out 60kg for 8+
does it matter how much you can squat?
Not sure what once a week frequency would be good for other than if you were in season and trying to maintain strength levels
I guess at the beginner/novice stage the CNS adaptations would still dictate strength gain increases even at a once a week frequency
You can just about do anything as a novice and still progress
It's like how a lot of people appear to lose fat on a deficit and simultaneously gain suprising amounts of strength
Better than nothing I guess
The volume would have to be astronomical, but even then I highly doubt it. I don't mean novice as not experienced, I mean it in training adaptation terms, which is evident by your weighted lunges (Unless that weight is quite a lot for your BW). At those weights it would still indicate you are experiencing the "novice effect" which is a CNS adaptation to resistance exercise. (Given you are finding strength increases at such low training frequency... Would indicate you are still experiencing this phenomenon.It's not that complicated. You can train legs once a week and still get stronger as an experienced lifter.

Looks interesting - day 4 shoulders the day after doing chest/tris might be a bit tough for anyone if DOMS come into play.Anyone tried Y3T?
I've been using it for the past 4 months and I feel I've seen more improvement with this than anything I can remember. Gaining muscle and strength. I have to say that my work ethic has a lot to do with it since I have been working a lot harder than I ever have. Worth a look IMO
