another question, so how come they call "power lifters" power lifters if all they do is bench, deadlifts, and squats? shouldn't they be called strength lifters?
yes....but...whatever.
My terms are fine, no reason to get in a semantic debate on a BB site.
If so then somebody needs to tell all the Power lifting federations to change their termonology.
yea I was JK about that, but when you said that I thought I may of been wrong, because you know alot.
I've never thought of this, because intensity is on the very low end of the spectrum for the clients I use this with....I will try some different things and see where performance is...
Where does this put the clients I do circuits with in quick succession?
Oh yeah and keep in mind I have a boss that not only believes/supports the clients when they say they want to do high reps and low weight to lose weight and "cut up".....he recommends it....beats em to the punch...he also does most of their first sessions and sells them the package....
I hate my life.
intensity is on the low end of the spectrum compared to who? intensity is relative to the person. Doing push ups off the side of a bench is considered low intensity to you, BUT, to your client, that may be hard as shit!
What do you mean "where does it put clients that you do circuits with"?? I don't think I undertand that question.
Don't worry about your boss. Do what you do and explain to the people as best you can, why you do it.
Did you call that place I told you to?
Percieved intensity....meaning they appeared to be able to complete a set of 12-15 reps without failing or becoming exhausted.
The circuits question...if a tri set has a negative impact on performance, would you recommend not doing circuits at all?? I use them with clients trying to lose weight. Of course letting them know that it doesn't replace a solid diet. It might/usually consists of 4-6 exercises.
I'm actually looking for that thread now heh...
tri-sets are circuits....I mean, what is a circuit anyway? it is just a group of exercises together. there are mayn types of things you can do, you can put rest inbetween the exericses if you want, you can have no rest. possibilities are endless.
I've always thought of circuits as big supersets, resting enough to complete whatever it is we're doing.
sigh
I really need to work with better trainers.
I called both places just now....I found out who I need to talk to at the rec center but he was already gone...and no one answered at sports speed...I would like to get someone as opposed to leaving a message explaining my current situation.
I just think of circuits as 3+ exercises or movements in succession...
a1) RDL
a2) chin up
a3) plank
a4) hip mobility
Griffin, don't worry about your boss. My general manager does the intial consultation generally too. I just pretty much ignore that and do my own. I always expain everything I'm doing at first, and usually try to explain anything I don't think they understand as we progress, and obviously answer any questions they still have. I only train a couple of women, but they don't mind lifting heavy one bit. They seem to trust me when I tell them they're not going to turn into Arnold by next Monday.
Purdue power is a freak. There is way too much going on in a squat for me to do ANYTHING else.
You could do squats by themselves, as it is usually a good idea to do your compound power lifts by themselves. You could, however superset you isolation movements: leg extensions with leg curls -or- other quad exercises(front squats) with other ham exercises(stiff-leg deadlifts). I have tried supersetting 2 hams exercises. That was a good burn. I did leg curls with bottom-half dumbell stiff-leg deadlifts.
Alright man! I think I'll start by trying the leg curl/leg extension. Tomorrow I'm suppose to do legs, I'll let you know how it went.
What about this that I've been doing. Calves I do the three different positions kind of a super set: Abducted, adducted and straight.

That is what I do for my calves, as well, except I do them all in each set. I start with them in, do that till failure, rest until the burn is gone, do the same straight, then out, then back to straight, then in again. This is 1 set. I do 2 sets of those and I am good to go.
Do you not get sore training so intense?
