To give an idea of the weight, I was previously using 40lb dumbbell for single arm curls reps of 5 at a cadence of about 1-0-1. For HIT, I had to drop the weight down to 25lb and changed the cadence to 4-0-4 for about 60s of work. Most HIT practitioners including myself go by time instead of reps. I'll usually try to pick a weight that I'll fail in 45-60s. Anything above 60-90s will still work too, but it'll create more acidity and pain than is required for growth. Next time, just pick a heavier weight.
What do you think of kettlebell crush curls? Seems like they never became popular for some reason and they would appear to be perfect for that.
The last one is definitely most important. These days not being fat automatically puts you at least in the top 20% of people appearance wise.
I liked kb crush curls until the bell fell out my crush grip and broke a floor board.
My mate the blacksmith has never ever explained how he acquired that mould. Or maybe he did and I was too drunk in his tepee in the woods to remember. I think he knew a load of old timers and got their KBs and made moulds. So maybe some dude had a 25kg and that’s how it happened. But aye. I only recently acquired an actual 1.5 pood. I’ve always owned I don’t even know what kind of pood 25kg. And they are bloody bears man. It’s not even like “well that’s only a kilo, how hard could it be?” They are bears to wield. He made a 14kg too and he had 11kg but these were later innovations.
I know right? He’s 6’8” mate and is an ex marine and former Highland games champion. I’m 5’7”. He could invent his own numbers and words as far as I’m concerned and I’d just be like “aye, mate. That’s a great idea” lol
“If it is stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.”
I accept the explanation in Pavel’s books. Does not mean I adhere to it completely and I’m not a sycophant. BTW, when I went “archaic” (old school), I became an undefeated champ in drug free BB.
