what % do you use for 8x3

[tinyman5000]

I'm not talking dynamic 8x3 im talking just a regular progression

[someonefat]

At least 85% for squats and probably more for deads.

that doesn't make sense i'd never be able to complete it

its 8 sets of 3 not 1 set or 3 sets

[strongman963]

75%+

Sorry I miss read this as what is good % for reps of 3. I would probably do 80% for squats, higher for deads.

[tinyman5000]

its for squats i guess i will use my 8rm

my load progression is going to be slow i dont want to hit any singles since im doing this earlier in the week

[DocTest]

80%

doing workouts based off high rep maximums is silly. Try 80% if seems to much drop some weigh, though I doubt it will be. You should have longer rest between your sets for an 8x3 day though.

normally i'd agree but, i usually just do 2x6-10 reps for squats or deadlifts on this day but i want to train my power squat and i cant do high reps on it, it cramps my legs up

[strongman963]

75%+

see up there

[someonefat]

see up there

are you kidding anything in the 70% range should be used for high reps.

[tinyman5000]

[Diana Meeque]

What do you think it mean when I say 'anything in the 70% range'?

So ANYTHING above 75? So he should be doing 100% for 8x3? Pick ONE % and stick to it not like 'well anything from 0-100% should be good'

he's giving a 15% range to use, you fat ****ing porker. there is no exact specific percent. you go by how you feel. if it's 75% one day then fine. it might be 80% another day. you're a fat ****ing idiot, go die.

The question is whats a good %, not 'what do you think a good % would be if I feel like **** and didn't eat all day' 75% is too low for reps of 3 in general.

[tinyman5000]

just for the record im starting with 225-230 which is my 8rm and im gonna add 5 lbs every time i hit all 8 triples

you're fat and stupid. life is going to get in the way of training and you're not going to feel at your best every single training session.

some days 75% will be enough and other days it won't.

[cjdelaney]

it is gonna depend on how you feel, how often you train lower reps, and how long you rest between sets.

when my squat was around 485, i did 8x3 at 425 one day. I rested about 3 minutes each time and it kicked my ass.

i posted it twice because you're obviously so stupid that you don't understand what I'm saying.

Only I responded to it the first time, and you just repeated yourself. Who is making sense now?

[cjdelaney]

he just happened to join a little while after sickonstorm got banned, created a username that is a childish attempt at irony given sickonstorm's hate for all fat people, and is now posting regularly in the PL/SM section on his first time logged on. ever.


ok.

either that or it is Hickson.

Uh...me. You responded in a way that says what I had posted went right over your head.
