Overloading to lift heavier
ad
Sooo I don’t know if there is a name for it. My buddy years ago when we used to want to push ourselves to get more reps at a heavier weight, but only as we were approaching our max we would use the donut principle for batting in baseball. Let’s say we could only do 315 2-3 times. We would put on 355, take it off the rack and hold it feel it’s weight , rerack and drop to 315 and push... it worked great for me... I just wanna hear some insight on that

I think that it is a great way to help break through mental blocks. Personally I always hit a rpe 7-8 single before doing my sets kind of as a last warm up and it always helps the subsequent sets feel lighter.
You may want to ditch that method and give Rest pause principle training a shot. You'll get way better results.
Thanks all, priming just going to see now if I can find more stuff on here about it and the internet... and I know not everything is cut and dry for everyone. I appreciate the comments and thanks again
Tron+2 for all your humble and receptive responses bro.
jayiskfirst time hearing of it done on the bench. Have heard of people doing with the squat. Load bar to over 100 % and unrack it, walk it out, hold it, and rerack it. Just to get use to the fell of heavier weight.
i have never tried either. Too old to put extra strain on my joints and tendons.
but if it works for you great.
To be honest dude I use it a lot and its very effective at making weights feel lighter and warming you up to an extra level. I'll bang 470 on the bar and just literally bring it out on lockout, hold it there for a second a re-rack it. Then drop down to 445 and do doubles and triples, it basically 'primes' your CNS.
Alright so would this fall in to the category of a powerlifting thing or mass, cuz I read on here all sorts of stuff personally I see growth on me from it. And strength but you know on here I’ve seen people say things against certain methods based on that person stating their goals and their exercising aren’t geared towards that goal. So basically my question is, does this method get u growth, strength or both? For me I get good results in both areas. And I’m sorry if any of this makes me sound foolish.... I just am curious and wanted to hear feed back. Because I’ll do stuff that people call powerlifting type of sets and sets geared towards mass in an entire work out. When I just do what’s suggest for mass I really don’t see results I have to push until like I can’t even do a push up. Then and only then do I get the maximum results and with that includes a good spotter , super and giant sets and lots of volume ... and diet of course... sorry for ramble...
jayiskI get what you are saying and yes believe it can be used effectively. But with me I just dont want the extra stress on my joints and tendons. My left shoulder has been known to act up and when that happens my bench is fawked.
But it absolutely makes sense if you are overload the bar and then drop it down you will def. notice the difference in weight. Making the doubles and triples feel lighter.
Its called 'Priming' ...
Do what works for you! If it's good...go for it! It's not for everyone we are all different!
True I kinda was just trying to get more info like if anyone else had similar results or a differentiated approach...
TronWhat's up with your avi pic? Lol
Idk they said no faces so I gave a forehead lol
TronIts a damn fine forehead, sir
DAMN FINE!
and don't you let anyone ever tell you differently.....ever.
However, a nice skull or like a cool wolf (such as mine) are good choices as well..but, yeah... FOREHEAD...why not...
honestly, this might sound crazy but I didn’t grow up with posters on my wall or like carried stuff around like that not that I down anyone who does. I just don’t have any solid interests that define me to just pick anything like that so I used my forehead lol.
TronYour forehead defines you well, sir.
I feel like ur fucking with me
TronFucking around more than I'd say fucking with you.
I’m just gettin with it bud
I am trying to be a little more active on here in small ways.... everyone seems pretty cool and what not...
TronSome people on here are not cool at all..others are...stick around..the site is fun and way better than Facebook lol.
