225lbd for 16 reps

2025/1/17 Edited to

... Read moreLifting heavy weights like 225 lbs can significantly boost your strength and muscle mass. Incorporating high-rep sets into your routine, especially at this weight, helps not only to build endurance but also to improve overall muscle definition. When targeting specific muscle groups, ensure proper form is maintained to prevent injuries. Gradually increasing the weight as your strength improves is essential for progressive overload. Many fitness enthusiasts recommend the 16-rep count especially for compound movements such as deadlifts and squats, which engage multiple muscle groups and promote overall body transformation. For optimal results, combine this lifting technique with a balanced diet rich in protein to support muscle recovery and growth. Don’t forget to incorporate rest days into your training to allow muscles to recover effectively. Always consult with a fitness professional or trainer if you are unsure about your lifting technique, and ensure you are using a spotter for heavy lifts to maintain safety. This workout methodology not only enhances physical performance but also boosts mental discipline and motivation in achieving your desired fitness milestones.

Workout app for tracking progress
I never consistently used a workout app for tracking until last year. One of my coworkers showed me this app called “Strong”. Reasons I love it?⬇️ 👍🏼Pros : 🪩 keeps track of your reps/sets/weights week to week 🪩 calendar view makes it easy to visualize how consistent you’ve been 🪩 pre-planning
