No lift is vital to bodybuilding. Unless you compete in powerlifting, "olympic" weightlifting, strongman or crossfit you don't have to do anything in particular or any sport for that matter. What makes these lifts so valuable is they use and stimulate alot of muscles at once. The problem with this is the technical curve and muscle coordination and strength to do the lifts properly. in the first place. What matters is training in a way that will stimulate the muscle fibers. You can achieve a nice body without ever doing regular deadlifts again, infact it might make it easier because the deadlift takes so much out of your recovery resources.
Thanks, already did the 3 resets but I'll complete the 18 weeks
Thanks!
Muscle memory is a real thing. You'll get back to where you were a lot faster than it took to build it the first time. Everyone is different, but I'd say we are talking about a few months for each year you'd been lifting in the past.
Awesome that's what I like to hear! Hoping to gain 10lbs pretty quick.
Ha, my name is actually because I like arguing aka beef(y). But a few say it suits me well ha
Hey, it was worth the try. You're doing science a service
How does that work? Is that circuit? What kind of rest do you do??
It's "for time," meaning you're supposed to get through everything asap. For example, I started with 13 Pull-ups, rested maybe 30 or 45 seconds, then did 8 Pull-ups, etc. On to 100. Then rinse on the treadmill. Then dips. Exercises done in the order I posted. It takes me longer than it's supposed to, I think, because on the program I use you're not really supposed to weigh this much and it can kill you on some stuff.
Right. You aren't timing your rest intervals. I mean you could, but that isn't how it's written.
So you know you're improving once your time gets quicker? I asked if it was circuit because recently with boxing the coach would ask me to complete a set of stuff within 3 minutes as much as I can. I wonder if I can do that too for my current outdoor routine:
On the program I use, that's a common workout. Say, you do amrap (as many reps as possible) of burpees and Pull-ups for 3 minutes, then rest, then go again. Etc.
