When I do bench or squat I tie a short rope to the bar with a kettlebell toes to the other end of the rope. That way it pulls down on the bar as I lift and the plates I’m lifting on the bar gets heavier
>it takes away the need to do progressive overload to increase your gains
No it doesn't
It's basically the same as using chains or resistance bands. You still need to progressively increase intensity/volume
I want to find a river/stream and climb along the bottom using the rocks going against the current. I feel like it would be a good combo of cardio/strength
Just decrease the weight above water for the same effect.
That must be strange i want to try now
do you mean swimming?

wtf that's actually genius, it takes away the need to do progressive overload to increase your gains

you can keep lifting like 1 plate and still progress with your lifts without increasing the load, you just have to use heavier kettlebells
That increases the load. But only the concentric portion. Good for peaking lifts but bye bye gains.
>takes away the eccentric and loses most of the gains
>IST thinks it's genius
In your defense you're probably bots.
Did my post not go through?

I’m not gonna make it bros
Sometimes I think about tying weights to my arms and legs and jumping into the water.
Weighted Swimming sounds interesting. It must work the arms like crazy
No but my grandma does
No, but my sister and I got weighed underwater once
someone post it
Did you liked? Did you take a shower before? How was your sister hair?
