Can you lift bro

Or if between January and November you went to the gym zero times. In which case that's actually pretty great your weights haven't dropped off. High fives all round. But if you're going regularly, or even semi-regularly, I really recommend you take a note of your numbers. Your numbers for the same exercise will vary depending on how many you do of something.

Don't believe me? Just try lifting your absolute maximum once, then try doing 3 sets of 12 of that. Oh no. You'll definitely break yourself. But subject to that caveat - and a caveat for those of you doing consistent, serious weight work and thinking about deload more on that in the future - your numbers should be going up most of the time.

They will plateau from time to time, and you'll find some exercises easier to build numbers on than others, and eventually you will hit a limit at which point you probably can't get any stronger without adding more food if you want to fit in with us super-cool people at the gym call it "fuel" and therefore weight which may or may not be what you want. But your numbers really, really should be going up.

If you are working out at least twice a week, you should expect that every time you go there will be gains. They may be tiny. With those 15kg squats, next time you go, try the Maybe you manage all 3 sets of 12 with that weight, and next time you pick up the Or maybe you don't. Maybe you manage the 20kg for 2 reps, and you do the other 10 with the And then set 2 you manage one rep with the 20 and 11 with the 15, and set 3 you just do the That's great.

I'm happy. It's all about incremental gains. In the same way that if you are losing weight the first half stone 3. I'm so down with the kids But it can still happen. You just have to work harder for a smaller return. But that 6-pack isn't going to magic itself there. Note for those of you in the Les Mills fan-club: if you're doing BodyPump, they may go up verrrrry slowly. BodyPump is essentially one set of reps of each exercise so charging up through the weights is achievable, but it's a much slower process.

Which brings me, very scrappily to the other concept I promised I'd tease out at the start. I knew you were paying attention. I knew you'd be sad if I didn't come back to it. Sometimes I hear a client's goal is "I want to be able to deadlift kg" or "I want to be able to squat kg" a goal they've not infrequently been encouraged into by a trainer.

This is the point at which I think someone's real goals have become detached from the process. Unless you're competing, the amount you lift should not be the goal in and of itself.
