How to be able to lift more? like weights and stuff like that?

[hotshotgirl]

So I'm training to become a firefighter and currently i can only lift 60 pounds is there a good way to make me better at lifting heavier weights like in the 100's?

As a bodybuilder I'll give you some tips, what works for me is to do 3 sets of 6 reps the weight that you should have for this should be light enough to be able to do at least 4 reps. but heavy enough so that you can not go past 6 and on the 6th rep you reach failure. Do about 3 exercises for each major muscle group. I started out around where you are for curling after about a month I can now curl about min80 max90lbs for my arms, chest I do about min100 max250lbs, shoulders min100 max150lbs, legs min100 max450lbs, back min100 max170 abs I do mostly a mix of weighted exercises 3 sets of 12 and no weight exercises to failure.

If your interested PM me and I'll give you my program, made good results with it.

If you want to be stronger... there's only ONE WAY.
Stronglift programmes.

Stay away from the mainstream programmes , most of those train for "aesthetics" , you're training for functional practical strength.

I suggest the classic 5x5 Stronglifts programme.
https://stronglifts.com/5x5/

Their entire programme is centered around getting you stronger , faster and more explosive.

When you become an Amazonian Warrior Princess , can I have 5% of your looting from war?

[Illusive_Man]

Sometimes I think it's not so much men are oppressing and being misogynistic , it's more so the women are doing it to each other lol

[hotshotgirl]

ok lets get this straight chicka mentally i may be manly i hate dress and so on but physically I'm like any other girl i have tons of guys that like my but i can't go out with them cause of firefighting so yeah it sucks I'm may be manly but not that much i don't have a dick i have tits and a vagina

[Opinion Owner]

[hotshotgirl]

how am i a man i have a vag and tits

[badger25]

talk to the football coaches at your school about the exercises and the program the guys do. get on that program. you should be doing the same lifts that the guys do. since you're a girl you won't get bulky, but stronger and more tone. you will have to start lighter weights and such or may have to make modifications to the lifts but if the coaches or guys know what they are doing they should be able to help you modify if you need to

Look up weight training programs. I don't know what you're referring to by "lift", thats pretty vague but you'll have to get a lot stronger to meet the physical requirements for a firefighter.

[hotshotgirl]

um you know like bench press and stuff like that

[Redstang88]

Ok. Thats still pretty vague, there's a lot of weightlifting exercises.
I'd recommend focusing on lower body exercises, like squats and deadlifts.

[Grant101]

I'm 15 and benching 50kg squatting 60kg and deadlifting 80kg if you can lift 20-30kg more than each of those you'll be alright those weight and constantly you'll be alright

[hotshotgirl]

I'm from the US can you put those in pounds?

[Grant101]

132 pound squatting , 176 pounds for deadlifting and 110 for bech

[M_A_X]
