How am i meant to do 30kg at 30 reps? 8 times, that would be near impossible for me even if i got a lot stronger...
Where does the 30kg and 8 times come into it Bree? Please take a closer look at the thread, you'll find all your answers and more there.
Fadi.
Bree, I am trying to understand what you are saying.
If your 1RM is 100kg on everything then 30kg will be 30% and 50kg will be 50%. However, that is very unlikely. If your Military Press is 30kg, you will use 9kg - 15kg. If your Bench Press is 60kg, you will use 18kg - 30kg, if your Bicep Curl is 25kg you will use 7.5kg - 12.5kg.
You can't have a 1RM of 100kg on everything.
Haven't been on here in a while haha..
Anyway, on the issue of cutting, I'm gonna be cutting after Christmas myself (Current stats 6ft1, 100kg, 19, can only see upper 2 abs and the v thing above pelvis). I want to get down to a bf where I can just see all my abs..
My question is would it be safe to do high intensity cardio before breakfast? Since instead of using food for energy, fat would get burned. I just don't wanna faint or do something stupid lol.
that is rather confusing... so what weight would i be doing if i was doing these weights?
Bench Press - 45kg 3x8
Military Press - 30kg 3x8
Dips - 3x12
Barbell Curls - 20kg 3x8
Barbell Rows - 55kg 3x8
SLDL - 55kg 3x8
Barbell Front raises 55kg 3x8
Bicep Curls - 12.5kg 3x8
Squat - 65kg 3x8
Tricep Cable Pulls - 35kg 3x8
Pullups - 3x10
or whats the formula for it? just say 30-50% of my current weight that im doing so if it was 55kg would be 16.5kg? that was at 35%
Since you have not listed 1RM it is hard to give an accurate answer.
Maybe try these weights for your first sets and see if you can get through 30 reps. This is just an assumption based on the figures you have provided.
Bench Press - 30kg
Military Press - 20kg
Dips -
Barbell Curls - 15kg
Barbell Rows - 40kg
SLDL - 40kg
Barbell Front raises - 40kg
Bicep Curls - 10kg
Squat - 50kg
Tricep Cable Pulls - 27.5kg
Pullups -
Ah, 1RM means 1 Rep Max. It is your max amount of weight that you can lift for 1 Rep.
Go to google and type 1 Rep Max calculator and put in your current lifts and it will give you an idea. Though there is no substitute for trying these yourself. Some people have good endurance and they can lift for reps better than they can for singles, other people are opposite.

read this
long article
but lots of good info
TMUSCLE.com | Roundtable: Fasted Cardio
this article is also very relevant
TMUSCLE.com | Death Match: You vs. Your Body
i like the tmuscle site except for the fact they like to push their products
anyone can lose weight
the trick is to minimise muscle loss while maximising fat losses
Yeap that is the hard trick. I was actually thinking of doing uphill brisk walking for about an hour, I heard that does the trick.
Gonna read those articles before I start my cut, thanks upg.
Would also appreciate Fadi's input on the matter
