Which is your "doesn't matter"😂
40 kg x 4. Is that strong? ... compared with what? ??
This week I did two chest exercises:
- Flat bench press: 40 kg x 4 (a few times)
- Decline bench press: 50 kg x 3 (two times)
And that's exactly why I don't particularly like looking at a weight on somebody's video and deciding whether it's “good”, “bad”, “heavy” or “light”.
Because the number on the bar has no idea what exercise you're doing.
Change the exercise and the number can change.
Change the number of reps and it can change.
Your technique, experience and where you are in your training all matter too.
***
I'm still using lower weights after my summer break. I'm not particularly interested in rushing back to my previous numbers just so I can say I did.
Not to mention that my weight is -2kg since summer holidays...
***
I'm interested in what happens next.
Can I do another rep with the same weight?
Can I eventually add a little weight while keeping the movement good?
Am I moving forward compared with my own previous workout?
>>>THIS is the useful information.
It's also why you'll hear me tell someone, “You should be lifting X kg”
Your 20 kg might be exactly the weight you need today. Someone else's 50 kg might be too light. Mine might change depending on the exercise.
The objective isn't to win an imaginary competition with the person on the next bench.
The objective is to give your body something appropriate to do... record what happened... and eventually give it a reason to adapt.
That's progressive overload.
And sometimes the progress isn't another plate on the bar.
Sometimes it's just one more rep.

Which do you tend to notice first in the gym - the weight somebody is lifting, or how they're actually lifting it? Me - I notice the person's biceps first, then ... oh, it doesn't matter

Healthy snack, anyone? 😋
I'm taking these with me on a long journey today.

These little things may look like biscuits, but they are not.
Oats + spinach + very easy to make
I made them with:

🥣 200 g oats
🌿 Spinach, chopped and boiled for a few minutes
🥛 ½ cup yoghurt + a little baking soda
🫒 2 teaspoons olive oil
🥚 1 egg
💧 A little of the water from the cooked spinach

I mixed the egg white into everything else, then left the mixture for about 10 minutes so the oats could soak up some of the moisture.

Then I shaped the mixture directly onto baking paper. Round, square, biscuit-shaped... whatever makes you happy. 😄

I brushed the tops with the egg yolk and baked them on the middle shelf at 180°C until cooked and nicely golden.

That's it.

The oats - carbs and fibre, the spinach - vegetables, the egg and yoghurt - protein, and the olive oil - a little fat.
