I probably do mate, but everytime I bring it up all I get is "stop changing, stop this, stop that just lift" which I have been doing since I started back up again
I'm currently making decent progress on the main lifts as I haven't changed up too much.
I suppose the issue is consistency, and your goals.
For a 'strength routine, my upper body work consists of 6 workouts. A week.
DAY 1: wide grip chins and barbell military press;
DAY 2: barbell bench and rows;
DAY 3: pull-ups and band-resisted push-ups.
Yes, DAY 1 is snatch day, and DAY 3 is jerk day, but that's technique more than anything else. EVerything else (well, the other three exercises on each day, are one core and two leg compounds). And I don't feel I'm suffering.
I remember doing skull-crushers, curls, lateral raises, incline bench, etc., but have had my routine stripped back to basics and feel a lot stronger for it as I can lift more volume in a single exercise. Yes, this week I have only been doing what ice refers to as 'beach weights', but that's because of an injury. My goal is - in the long term - to get an Olympic lift total of over 300kg, and powerlift at least 600kg. I don't need or want to look like a bodybuilder (I'm ugly, so having a god bod is largely pointless).
That Is my take on it. I don't know what your goals are, but I just want to lift big (and currently can't.
). I'd relate the same to anybody else, too. Byt I also only have an hour for my workouts.
