Great thank you. I had a feeling that we might define the word differently and I was right in my assumption. Not about right or wrong here, just simply a different definition of the term. Again, thank you.im talking about intensity of work.
we all perceive pain differently, what you might see a easy, I might view as hard, you might workout (operate)at a very high level of pain, to me it might look like murder.
at the end of the day we look for results, that is something we can measure, it's tangible.
so don't get hung up on the intensity, work as hard as you can bare.
As an aside, increasing the intensity of a workout is not something you can just do straight away, it takes months of workouts to find out what that is.
at end of day, only thing that counts is results. Some people describe certain people as soft trainers, but they can be huge (and/or strong) and their training methods much more intense than people give credit.
I understand, but was asking for a definition.im talking about intensity of work.
Of course we do Andy.we all
perceive pain differently,
Hence why we need something objective to work with and not subjective, based on some perception or the like.what you might see a easy, I might view as hard
I agree.you might workout (operate) at a very high level of pain, to me it might look like murder.
Yes that is so true, however we can also use the training parameters I've laid out above (before we get to) and in order to get to those tangible, measurable results you've mentioned.at the end of the day we look for results, that is something we can measure, it's tangible.
I simply asked for a definition of the word as you've understood it.so don't get hung up on the intensity,
Hopefully not all the time, hence I favour the application of a periodisation system for my training. I say that because sometimes we need to hold ourselves back from working as hard as we can bare. It's a subject, a critical subject not discussed often enough in the bodybuilding circles, where the mantra seems to always be focusing on push push and push some more. I know for a fact that all bodybuilders would benefit greatly from utilising and taking advantage of a tapering week, where the growth or strength they're so desperately seeking would occur.work as hard as you can bare.
I don't get the message you were aiming to convey here, sorry Andy.As an aside, increasing the intensity of a workout is not something you can just do straight away, it takes months of workouts to find out what that is
I think you've left out one of the most important aspects of an intense workout Fadi and that is 'time'
I'm sure that anyone who has done it would agree, a person liftiing at say 70% of intensity (by your definition, although I'm not sure I agree with it) but with little to no rest between exercises would find it a very intense workout session indeed compared to lifting say 90% but with only a couple of reps and 5 mins rest between sets.

So as I see it and have also experienced, intensity is not just about the amount of weight lifted, it's not as simple as that
Cardio does not have to be intense, does it, since the goal is too purely expend (surplus) energy.

I would like nothing more than to engage with you in a discussion regarding this subject sir. However we need to be discussing the same subject, and as things stand right now, I don't believe we are. I wrote the following in my previous post:I think you've left out one of the most important aspects of an intense workout Fadi and that is 'time'
I was not thinking of bodybuilding and the time factor when I wrote what I did. That does not mean the time factor/rest intervals between sets does not apply in the sport of weightlifting, but it's a given that a weightlifter takes between 3 to 5 minutes of rest during his working sets. And it's also a given that a weightlifter's working sets begin at 80% and above; that's the intensity/volume combined that is calculated to make up the total weekly tonnage lifted...and it's also a given that speed is a critical factor in that sport, though it does not make the training parameters list of "pillars" if you like. Had I had bodybuilding on my mind, then for sure your point regarding the time factor would be very valid indeed, as that's a crucial aspect, a switch if you like that has the potential to either increase or decrease the rate of intensity in a set or workout session. Thank you Darkoz.These 5 pillars, or parameters of training are as follows, and I'll use them as they apply for the sport of Olympic weightlifting:...
No problem Fadi I see what you're saying but take a look at where this thread is postedI would like nothing more than to engage with you in a discussion regarding this subject sir.

Your point is 100% legit mate, it's my bad, and I'm sorry.No problem Fadi I see what you're saying but take a look at where this thread is posted
I'm just stirring you up FadiYour point is 100% legit mate, it's my bad, and I'm sorry.
