I'm fat and get worn out easily. My muscles feel like they can keep going but I'm completely winded, lightheaded, and shaky. Particularly on the amrap. My amraps aren't ending because I can't physically lift the weight anymore, they're ending because I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Meanwhile, on bench and ohp my amraps end because I hit failure.

Been off of the gym for a few weeks. Just moved and think I found my new gym so it's time to get back to it.
Did a ton of back, bis, and abs today. Felt real good.

Because, it's not that I'm too weak to push additional reps, I'm just winded and tired. It's pathetic.

Keep the bar on your back and take a few breaths and keep going. If you're only doing 5 reps geez!

IDK about Hu, but I'm following a program that calls for 2 sets of 5 reps followed with an amrap. The 2 sets of 5 I can handle, although winded, but the amrap is killer. I get about 5-6 reps in, count to 10 to catch my breath, hit a few more reps, count to 10, hit a few more. But at some point I can't catch my breath anymore, and I get lightheaded and see stars. Thats when I put the weight down.
The weight is going up every workout, so eventually I will hit a point where I do hit failure because muscles can't go anymore.

What % of your 1RM is that?
I understand getting tired on the amrap set. That's kinda the point. But if it's a heavy weight for you there could be nothing wrong.

Honestly I'm not sure. I just started at 185 and am working my way up. I'd say the 205 I did today was about an RPE 7

Well I mean I did 135 to 275 in 10lb increments with a few bigger jumps so that's like 10 + sets so 5 reps of that is kinda tiresome lol
I'm not exhausted but when I do heavy 5's and amraps I have to stop due to exhaust than strength.

Today and yesterday I worked on finding my 1RM on the 4 lifts for the 5/3/1 BBB program. So basically 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 on Bench, Squat, Press, and Deadlift. For a middle aged man with a few injuries from the military I'm proud of myself. My numbers are
Bench 245
Squat 330
Press 160
Deadlift 415
I need some work on the bench but overall being able to lift 1150# in those lifts I didn't think was to bad. It's been a good 2 days.

ya i was mainly talking to Hulk, doing 2 sets of 5 then a 3rd with as many as possible.
for me if I have the strength, then im pushing through. Especially just doing 5 reps, it's pretty hard to get exhausted from that. I think saying you are exhausted is an excuse that you dont have the strength(not you, just saying in general).
i think it would be beneficial to know your 1 rep max to get the most out of any lifting program. I assume like any other program they are giving you a % to work off of?
Posted on 7/8/17 at 9:21 pm to Lester Earl
Greyskull is designed for very long term and slow progression. They don't really give you a starting % of max because it was designed for beginners. Some people start with just a bar, even. Usually after week 4 or so people find their maxes. The book itself is skim on info about starting weight, though.
Posted on 7/8/17 at 9:22 pm to Hulkklogan
so they just tell you to do 5 reps without giving any guidance on a weight?
Posted on 7/8/17 at 9:39 pm to Lester Earl
Pretty much. It doesn't matter much because the programs rate of progression (if followed to a T and no plateaus) is 240lb per 6 months, so people who don't know their maxes will start at lower weights and get good reps and practice in as they progress through light weight. The program sets up your progression for you. Experienced lifters probably know their maxes and can adjust appropriately when beginning the program.

The other thing is that I'm on lower calories at the moment and pushing a few more reps could mean a few extra days of recovery and I'd like to be good on the next workout and leave some in the tank. Another thing is that my form breaks down and I don't wanna risk injury. People at Westside have terrible injuries from pushing so hard.
