>Especially if your goal is to induce hypertrophy (which is pretty much essential for muscle growth) you should aim for at least 10 sets
Really? Ok, I guess I'll lift less weight then
>I would argue tho that you should aim for 3500
The problem is that I'm basically force feeding myself at that point, my appetite isn't that high
>Also, instead of doing bicep (dumbbell?) curls, use the straight bar instead. It'll engage more muscle groups.
Currently I work out at home so I can only use dumbbells, I'll use bars once I go to the gym doe
>That sounds insane…
There was a guy at my gym who didn't believe the weights I lifted either, I don't get it, I thought deadlifting was one of the easier exercises?
>You know that one pl8 equals 20kg and you count them on each side. So 2.5 would mean you've been deadlifting 120kg (20+20+10 on each side + 20 bar) that's more than double your bodyweight.
Tbh I only achieved one set at those weights, when I do squats and deadlifts I progressively lift more plates (so I'd do something like 1.5-2-2.25-2.5)
>I know it sounds impossible, but you should try to double that. Try to get that up to at least 140/150ish.
I guess I'll eat more eggs, lentils, yogurt and chicken, don't know what other protein rich food is cheap
