Hey guys! I don't post much but I'm trying to get a few new ideas for some of my workouts. As far as set & rep wise is concerned. I'm trying to get my numbers up so I'd love to hear whatever y'all guys have to say! Also, if you lift...what is your fav thing to do in the gym & why?

Whats your goal. Im guessing by get your numbers up you mean you are trying to bulk up and go heavy? My biggest piece of advice would be to get your nutrition right. You are going to need a very strict heavy protein diet. Start researching it. 2) get a very dedicated work out partner. Not only do you push each other and hold each other accountable but those last reps when you need a spot are some of the most important reps. 3) less reps heavier weight, good spots.

The nutrition angle can't be stressed enough. No matter how hard you hit it, if you don't take in the nutrients to repair the damage, you're not going to get results.

Yeah, the nutrition is a BIG deal. More important than the workouts but I feel like I have the nutrition part down. I'm taking in around 4K calories on a good day. That's why I'm asking for new workout advice. I'm a trainer & work at a gym over in bham. Majoring is collaborative education with a minor in Health/Fitness. I'm going to compete in power meets this year so I'm making sure I get my numbers up. Right now I'm 220-230 range with a 405 bench, 550 dead lift, 600 pound squat. Those are the 3 lifts that I really need to try & work on. Specifically my dead lift.

You're probably more knowledgeable than me, but one thing I like to do to increase my max is to pause for 2-3 seconds at the end of each rep. The hardest part of the rep is the explosion when you push up, so when you do bench press for example pause at the chest for 2-3 seconds each rep. For squats pause in your squat at the bottom before coming up. This'll make sure you aren't using any momentum.

Google "T-Nation hanging band technique". A lot of power lifters work it into their routines every 3rd or 4th session. It activates stabilizer muscles that would never otherwise get activated. I'm more of a physique guy than powerlifter, so I hit the hanging bands light, slow, and controlled......to failure +2.
