feel dumb asking this...I should know

[buffchic69]

Hi all.

I'm just going to keep this very short, typing really fast, cause I got somewhere to go-


for example: lets say you want to do 3 sets of barbell curl. 30-35-30 reps.

do you lift the weight 1 time for 30 reps, another time for 35 reps, and a third time again for 30 reps ?

or do you lift the weight 3 times ? as in doing the barbell curl 3 times for 30 reps each = 90 reps ?



Thanks !!!

Why would you be doing 30 reps of curls?

 

[Sassy69]

I'm completely confused.

barbell - 3 sets - x number reps per set, set the bar down, repeat, repeat.???

I don't understand what you're asking?

She is trying to figure out if a workout routine says:
barbell curl 3 sets 30-35-30

If it means:
1 set 30 reps
rest
1 set 35 reps
rest
1 set 30 reps
rest

OR .....

3 sets 30 reps
rest
3 sets 35 reps
rest
3 sets 30 reps

I think!

QT had the REAL question though .....

I'm confused on that too. I didn't understand why 30reps or what exactly she was asking in the question.

Sorry, I'm trying to function on 3 hours of sleep

Daisy. That is what I mean. Thanks. Which one do I do ? I got this routine off of bunny's log.

Why not just ask Bunny what/why I was doing that particular workout? There is always a reason for why I lift/eat/reps the things I do as well... generally...

Hmm Bunny doesn't do that on a regular basis, it was to look a certain way on a certain day, not a regular routine.

And if you have questions about her workout, why don't you ask her about them.

 

[tahoe2003]

dude thats way to many reps.

 

[Miss24k]

dude thats way to many reps.

Dude you're in the ladies forum, pay attention!!!

 

[Sassy69]

OK, Yep, I'd ask Bunny, however my common sense is going to tell me this means 1 set of 30, 1 set of 35, 1 set of 30, done with barbell curls. She had increased her reps lately in prep for her photo shoot. Less focus on low rep / high weight and more of focus on the motion via higher rep / lower weight.

Sorry Bunny. I will ask you next time, since I am following you. You are my she-ro !!!! you look MARVELOUS !!!!!

I just did my biceps following your workout. I am getting bored with my workouts, I don't know what other changes I can make !!! I have made so many, I feel stuck now

It is good to have change, and it is good to use other people's workouts as a GUIDE for yours. BUT, you have to make sure you understand the REASONS behind a workout. Just blindly taking or following a routine just because you like someone's body is asinine.

Case in point, you used a routine of Bunny's without knowing what to do - or WHY. You must understand the context in which the routine is based in order to implement it and make it useful for YOU.

She-ro! Ha! That's great...and Thank you very much

No need to apologize...when in doubt always ask questions. The best thing I can suggest is to make changes according to your current goals (or at least a general idea of what you want to achieve).

For me... I am in my learning/experimental phase and more often than not, I will not post up the reason why I am doing what I am doing until after the fact...and often will put a little disclaimer * Do not mimic my training/diet for obvious reasons, etc*

I've noticed you've been searching around, looking for different things...asking questions, which is good.... BUT what are you looking to achieve? Try your best to define your tentative/temporary goal first and go from there.

Let me know if I can be of any help...the ladies are also full of great ideas (many more than I) to get you out of this rut
