There was a moment where a young child looked at the Guardian and, not knowing what the prop was or where it came from, asked, “what is that thing? I must know! I must!” out loud! There was also a wonderful moment where a fellow con goer and dear friend witnessed the Guardian for the first time without having known that we spent the last month and a half making it. She was so happy, so overjoyed at the sight of the prop that she practically jumped up and down and professed how much she felt like a proud mother. It’s during little moments like this that we realize what makes cosplay such a glorious hobby and what makes going to cons such as Otakon such a unique experience: the excited looks of others as they see something from a beloved work come to life.

The origin of the Guardian’s creation is a rather funny story. On some weekend night earlier this summer, the two of us talked in-depth about the lore of The Legend of Zelda over some drinks. The discussion turned towards the subject of the guardians, robotic creatures which we quickly decided must be showcased to the cosplay world in order to instill that all-too-familiar sense of adventure and horror that comes with looking at it.

It all started as a joke, really, with the idea that I (the Zelda cosplayer) would walk around the con with a Guardian, operated by Link. We had this notion of installing lights and sound in such a way where the Guardian would have blue lights on with Zelda nearby, only to have them turn red and have the Guardian theme play in the background as others approached.

After the Guardian cosplay joke/idea was posed to our older brother, he was all in favor of the idea of genuinely creating this prop and maneuvering it around the con with us as the accompanying Link and Zelda. From there, the creation of the prop took off and the rest is history.

At first, we drew drafts, specifically with the skeleton of the Guardian being made of PVC pipes. While we had the skeleton, we had to account for the question of how to successfully get the prop into and through the con. We initially decided to have it split into four separate pieces, but later favored the idea of creating three connecting pieces of the Guardian so that it could be assembled and disassembled as needed. The next piece was the creation of the Guardian’s actual form, using EVA puzzle foam boards. Once we got that down, we used expanding foam to do the lighter detailing that wraps around the Guardian. It took a dozen cans of the foam to create the Guardian’s unique, serpentine details.

Afterward, we smoothed that foam down to minimize how messy the expanding foam was to work with, but we made sure to keep some grittiness to it to stay true to the Ancient Sheikah aesthetic of these complex robots. Once that was done, we cut into the puzzle foam in order to divide the Guardian’s body into the three desired pieces. Final details included painting the guardian with home decor paint (paint that you use on walls), then creating the legs with six pool noodles. At the bottom, there were PVC pipes that connected the leg pieces to the central body. The eye was then made with clear plastic which was heated up to form a bowl shape for the eye. To achieve the color of the eye, we overlapped it with a layer of blue plastic wrap (the name escapes me but it’s the kind you can find in party supply stores for gift wrapping).

Afterward, we returned to the legs, working on the sections of craft foam that are layered on top of one another. To keep it from falling on the ground, fishing wire was used to discretely tie the legs up to the body of the Guardian. The LED lights were the next order of business. Cables were looped front the inside of the Guardian to the outside, with all of the controls being contained inside. Handles and wheels were installed in order to allow for easier mobility. A USB fan was likewise installed in order to provide cooling for our brother. The lights and fan were powered by two portable chargers. As if this weren’t enough, a speaker was put in so that the iconic Guardian music could be played as we moved around the con. With all that, the Guardian was ready to go!

Ultimately, we would say that this cosplay experience has inspired us to create more cosplays and props that have been virtually unseen. People often say to be the change that you want to see in the world. Knowing that the Guardian was a complicated prop to construct and move around the con, I would still say that it was worth the effort in part due to the reactions of others upon witnessing this one-of-a-kind piece. We want to create more unique cosplays and props and to carry our immense passion for the hobby into the future.

DIY Garden Watering System – Easy & Inexpensive (+ Printable Supplies List) | An Oregon Cottage

It is possible to build a garden watering system that doesn’t cost a lot using easy to find PVC parts and basic DIY skills and tools. We take you through all the steps in this tutorial to create an easy, inexpensive automatic irrigation system for gardens with raised beds (or regular beds). You will LOVE not having to worry about watering all the time!

You're reading: DIY Garden Watering System – Easy & Inexpensive (+ Printable Supplies List) | An Oregon Cottage

This article is sponsored by Gilmour whose watering tools I use and love. Some links in this article are affiliate links and if you click on them I will receive a small commission at no cost to you.

One thing I’ve longed for in our previous vegetable gardens has been an automatic watering system, one that didn’t require dragging hoses everywhere, looked good, and could be almost a set-it-and-forget-it thing.

I cannot tell you how many times Brian and I would be laying in bed and I’d be thinking, “Did I turn the water off?” Then we’d hear the tell-tale tick of the well pump and one of us would have to go out and turn it off (I’m going to let you imagine what that conversation was like…).

There’s a lot to do in creating a garden from scratch and we did it a little at a time – a bed there when it was time to plant lettuce, another here for tomatoes. We had to run a water line to the new garden, take care of weeds, plant – you know the drill. For some reason, a watering system just seemed like too much to think about.

The problem was, once we got the foundation laid – including gravel paths – we didn’t want to think about tearing it all up for a garden irrigation system. It just seemed easier to use hoses – I’d simply drag two hoses to the soaker hoses in the beds, hook them up, let them run a few hours, and move to other beds. How hard is that, really?

Except I’d forget to turn them off. Or we’d leave for vacation and the complicated system of dragging hoses, waiting a few hours, and dragging more around wasn’t something I could ask anyone to do (granted, the garden always survived a couple weeks when I watered well before leaving).

And the late-night water check really got old after a few years. We knew we didn’t want that to be an issue with our farmhouse’s new vegetable garden. Clearly it was time to plan an automatic plant watering system at the same time we were building the foundation of our new low-maintenance, raised bed garden.

For us the key elements of a watering system needed to be:

Simple to build and set up

Simple to use

Inexpensive

Easy to repair when needed

Adjustable (able to regulate which beds were watered or not)

Look good and not be too obtrusive

I’m excited to share (beyond excited?) the simple irrigation system we built using basic PVC pipe pieces and tools, easy-to-find watering supplies, normal DIY skills and a couple weekends of time (for the 12 beds we have) that has already made gardening SO much easier.

It’s been working great since we installed it and we’re sharing all the steps (including a video) so you can replicate this in your garden, too. And if it’s smaller than ours, it will take even less time and money!

Easy DIY Garden Watering System

The first step is to measure your garden, so you can draw a rough map of it (hopefully, you’ll already have done this as part of starting a vegetable garden the easy way and you can pull it from your free Garden Notebook Journal).

Based on your garden set-up, diagram where you want your water lines to go, like we did in the plan you see above. For ours, we just wanted a main line that fed an arm with a soaker hose attachment to each bed. Really simple.

Note: You may notice in the plan that there is also a second section of the garden with another main line and beds – we’ll add those as the beds are completed just like we did here.

Supplies

The main things you’ll need are PVC pipe and fittings, supplies to cut and attach pipe, water timer (I used a Gilmour Dual Electronic Water Timer with a programmable start time, frequency and duration of watering from 1 to 360 minutes), soaker hoses (I’ve found that Gilmour soaker hoses last better than other brands), on/off valves, and hose male and female ends.

Sit down with your plan to figure out the plastic PVC piping and parts you will need. Starting at your water source, calculate a rough estimate of how many feet of 3/4-inch PVC pipe it will take. Write that total down on a piece of paper – or just use the printable shopping list provided below! We needed about 80 feet for ours.

Again starting at your water source, add up all the PVC fittings you’ll need. Total up right angle turns, 3-way “T” junctions, 4-way cross junctions. Remember you’ll need regular right angle turns at the bed to go up from the buried pipe and right angle threaded end pieces you’ll need for all your beds to easily connect the standard on/off hose valves to the plastic piping. Add these to your list.

Finally, add up the number of on/off valves you’ll need. These will allow you to send water to only the beds you want.

Bonus! We’ve created a free printable supplies list below that lists everything you need with areas to fill in the amounts for your set-up!

We’ve made the shopping part really easy for you with the printable list below that includes other supplies you’ll need like tools and sand, as well:

Simply click the above image or link, download to your computer, print and fill in (or cross off items you already have) the list and go shopping at your nearest home store!

DIY Watering System Video

We also made a video you can watch on this page that details all the steps and below that you’ll find all the steps in photos – use one or both to help you build a watering system in your own garden!

Garden Irrigation System Steps & Tips

1. With all your supplies at hand, dig the trenches where your pipe will lay.

Before digging, remember to check for any water and electrical lines and adjust your planed route if needed. Next stretch a line a foot or two above where your main trench should go. This will help you dig in a straight line.

Using an adz or pick, dig your main trench. It should be 3 to 4 inches deep, so you may need to use a narrow spade or other tool to get it to that depth. It doesn’t need to be very wide. (Note: you should blow out the line at the end of every season to remove water before freezing; also if you live in areas where the ground freezes, you may want to lay your pipe deeper.)

Now dig the side trenches based on your plan. We wanted our feeder pipes to be positioned at one of the corners of the beds so that the soaker hoses could more easily be circled in the bed (versus starting in the middle of a bed). This is what I’d recommend if you’re doing beds like ours – if they’re bigger, adjust as you see fit.

2. Toss some sand into the bottom of your trench.

This is especially important if you’re laying the pipe in a rocky area like ours where a sharp rock could eventually poke a hole in your line.

3. Lay the PVC Pipe.

We screwed a wood block below our spigot so there would be something sturdy for the pipe to attach to. Starting at the spigot, we left a little piece going up so that we could come back and do the attachment to the water last.

The assembly process is pretty simple – you cut the pieces as you go and glue in place.

Set a piece of pipe in your trench and with a pencil mark where to cut it. The pipe slides about an inch into the fittings, so allow for that. Note: In addition to being tough, PVC is flexible, so you don’t have to be absolutely perfect in your measurements. However, you do want to be as accurate as possible.

Put the purple primer on both parts to be attached. This will dry right away.

Then smear the glue on the two parts to be attached. This will also dry right away so quickly attach them, sliding them completely together, and twisting a little if they need aligning.

That’s it. The beginning of your garden watering system is in place and you’re ready for the next piece. Continue marking, cutting, priming and gluing all down your proposed line.

TIP #1: Lay your pieces to be glued on a little patch of cardboard or wood, so you don’t get sand or dirt sticking to the primer.

TIP #2: Stick a little wad of paper or cloth into the end of the pipe waiting to be glued. This will keep sand, dirt, and rocks from getting into your system.

Raised Bed Feeder Pipes

Attach your corners and junctions going off the main line and up beds in the same way. When attaching a side line to one of your beds, first glue on the right angle turn that will go up the side of the bed and then attach it to the main line.

Cut a piece to go up the side of the bed and glue it to the right angle turn. Then glue a threaded right angle to that and you’ve got your raised bed feeder pipe set.

As soon as you’ve finished a pipe going into a bed, attach it to the side of the bed to hold it firm with a metal u-bracket, screws and a drill. This will protect the pieces you’ve just glued from breaking apart as you continue adding pipe.

You can see in the photo above that we placed these brackets towards the top of the beds to provide the most stability when turning hose valves on and off.

TIP: If you have a bed that can’t be screwed into, like our round rock bed above, use a piece of rebar right next to the bed to attach your pipe to.

4. Attach On/Off Valves

Once all the PVC pieces are glued and secured in place along your lines and up your beds, screw on the on/off valves and turn them all to the off.

In the photo above, you can see our whole watering system finished, with feeders attached to each bed and valves in place.

We’re almost done, but don’t bury your pipe yet. You need to see if it leaks.

5. Connect Your Pipes to Water Timer & Spigot

Back at the water source, connect your Gilmour timer to the spigot. Connect the backflow control valve to the outflow on the timer. Now you can see what it will take to connect your PVC pipe to the water source. We made the final connection using a mini-hose found at the hardware store.

6. Set Timer & Test for Leaks

With your watering system all hooked up, set the timer to the watering frequency and time you’d like. For the best results, you’ll want to water your beds longer and less frequent for a deep watering that encourages deep root growth. My suggestion is:

3-4 hours soaking (Depending on the amount that comes out of your hoses – more beds = less flow, so you’ll need a good 3-4 hour soak, fewer beds will only need 2 hours). Watch how it waters in the first day and adjust as needed.

5-7 day frequency (Depending on weather – in mild warm weather once a week is fine, up to every 4-5 days in the hottest weather, again monitoring your plants.)

Here’s a quick video that shows how easy it is to set and use the Gilmour timer shown.

To test your watering system:

Select the faucet button on your watering timer and choose 5 minutes or so to bypass your set up and water will begin flowing.

Inspect your pipes for leaks.

Go to each valve and turn it on and off just to make sure water is coming out.

7. Adjust Water Line Pipes

Once everything checks out leak-wise, make sure your pipe is deep enough in the ground. It should be a little below ground level. You can dig out a little under any sections that need it.

8. Cover Pipe

Now you can cover the PVC pipe water line with sand up to ground level.

Read more: Painted Tire Planters and Pots – 70 Ideas plus a DIY Guide

Sand is the best for this, since it won’t hold any rock to puncture the pipe and it’s easy to get though in the future if a repair needs to be made. If you have fine dirt, you can also use that, though sand is usually recommended.

9. Lay Path Material

Now you can add your path material, which hopefully is a weed control layer, over the top of the sand.

For this garden we are using cardboard and wood chips on the paths for the easiest maintenance (in my past two gardens, gravel has just grown a lot of weeds since it’s hard to keep dirt and compost out of it in a vegetable garden).

The gravel you can see in the pictures was already in place when we bought the property and laid with no plastic or weed block underneath and so has a ton of weeds already. I’m just layering cardboard and the chips right over the top, which I’ll refresh each year as needed.

UPDATE: We created a video to show how to lay the cardboard and woodchips and the difference between free and purchased chips. CLICK HERE to watch.

10. Attach Soaker Hoses, Cutting if Needed

Finally, attach the soaker hoses to the on-off valves for each raised bed. Snake the hose around the perimeter of the bed and then towards the center. You can adjust more as you see the water outline the first time you water.

TIP: Before starting your system, lay out all your soaker hoses in the sun for a few days so that they are easier to maneuver around the beds.

Cutting 50-foot Soaker Hoses

We had a mixture of 25-foot and 50-foot soaker hoses and our beds need only 25-foot lengths. To get 25-foot length soakers for our 8-foot beds out of the 50-foot soaker hoses we had, we cut them in half and used a male or female repair kit as needed for the cut ends.

Do this if you can’t find 25-foot soakers and your beds are 10-feet long or less (you may want to use the 50-ft length in longer beds).

You’ll need male and female garden hose repair menders – here’s a male end and here’s a female.

UPDATE: We shot another video sharing how to cut soaker hoses to size plus tips – CLICK HERE to watch.

11. Run Your Completed Garden Watering System

Use the faucet button to bypass the timer and run your system again for a few minutes or longer, checking all the soakers and valves. We needed to tighten some and adjust some of our repairs. This is also when you can arrange your soaker hoses as you see how the water is running.

Why use soaker hoses with shut-off valves?

One of the reasons I wanted this easy garden watering system instead of a typical drip system is to quickly adjust the flow to each bed or turn it completely off if I wanted. I also like hoses versus drip because it waters most of the bed, not just at the base of the plants I have planted that year, allowing me to rotate the crops in the beds easily.

When will I turn off the water to a bed?

Obviously when there’s nothing planted, but also when the tomatoes are ripening and the plants need less water. I think this will also be handy when I’ve got a newly planted bed for fall and it needs more – I can shut off other beds and use the faucet button to bypass the timer and water every few days while the seeds get established.

We are LOVING this system so far! We put it to the test after installing by leaving on a two week vacation and not only did the plants grow and thrive, our daughter was ecstatic to be relieved of watering the garden while she house sat.

Ha! It’s not just good for the plants and you, it can be good for your relationships, too!

Strength Training 101: How much weight should I be lifting?

“Do you even lift?”

After today’s guide, not only will you be able to say “YUP,” but you’ll also know exactly how MUCH you should be lifting!

We’ll help you get big and strong so you can fight back against your older brother when he tackles you in the hallway.

As part of our Strength 101 series, we’re going to tell you exactly what you need to know about lifting weights and strength training:

Why you should lift your own bodyweight first.

How to start lifting with barbell training.

How much does a barbell weigh?

Adding weight to a barbell.

When should you add even more weight?

How to determine your 1 rep max?

How much should YOU be lifting?

Do you even lift?

If you find yourself with a billion other strength training questions as you build your own workout, or you’re overwhelmed at all of this and not sure how to get stronger…you’re in good company!

It can be scary enough to keep MOST people from starting, which is actually why we created our Coaching Program.

Your NF Coach will do an initial assessment to calculate exactly how much weight you should start lifting. They’ll then design a program that they’ll adjust regularly based on your progress and schedule.

Plus, with our app, your coach can do regular video form checks to make sure you safely make consistent progress.

Let's get you STRONG as hell. Learn more about our Online Coaching Program!

With that out of the way, let’s jump into the nitty-gritty of “How much weight should I lift?“

Why You Should Lift Your Own Bodyweight First

Stop! (Wait a minute…)

Before trying to figure out how much weight you can lift, let’s make sure you know how to do the movement, as flawless as possible, without any weight at all.

Why?

Because if you can’t do a movement correctly without weight, how can you expect to do it right WITH weight?

Think about it – if you can’t walk up a flight of stairs normally, would you expect to be able to walk up the flight of stairs carrying a sack of hammers?

No – you would only hurt yourself.

Also, what are you even doing with a sack of hammers?

STEP ONE: learn each movement without any bars, dumbbells, or added weight.

Which might make you say:

“Staci, how on earth do I do a deadlift or an overhead press without any weight? And I know I can do a bodyweight squat, but isn’t it completely different doing a barbell back squat?”

Easy – grab either a broomstick (be careful for splinters!), mop handle, or PVC pipe (I use a 1.25” PVC cut in half) and pretend it’s a barbell.

If you’re trying to mimic a dumbbell movement, either grab a short dowel, PVC, or just hold your hands in a fist as if you were holding on to something.

While it’s not the exact same as holding actual weight, it will allow you to practice getting into the correct positions.

Practice the movements in your own home without other people around you (so you’ll be less nervous).

Also, you can videotape yourself pretty easily. I use my computer’s webcam, or my phone camera and a little tripod.

Here’s a video of me doing this back when I started lifting in 2011, when I was trying to figure out how to deadlift, to get an idea of what I’m talking about:

How to Start Barbell Training with Lifting the Bar

Once you’re comfortable with each movement with a broomstick or PVC, then you can move to the bar.

Your first gym workout shouldn’t go any heavier than “just” the bar, which means the bar without any added weight.

How much does a barbell weigh?

A standard barbell weighs 45 lbs (20.4 kg).

A “women’s barbell” weighs 35 lbs (15.8 kg).

Now, don’t be discouraged if this seems really heavy – especially on upper body movements.

When I started out, I could not bench press or overhead press an empty barbell.

If the bar seems too heavy to start:

See if the gym has a lighter barbell – some have a “women’s bar” or a “training bar” that usually weighs 30-35 lbs and 15 lbs, respectively. These are usually shorter, but that’s okay!

Start out with dumbbells – while the movement is not the exact same, it allows you to build up the strength:

This will help you handle a barbell down the road.

Focus on bodyweight training (push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, squats) until you build the strength to handle the bar.

Now, on opposite ends of the spectrum, if the bar seems really light, I would STILL encourage you to complete your first workout with just the bar.

Focus on getting each rep correct, and worry about adding weight next time.

Check your ego at the door!

I would rather see somebody in the gym lifting the bar with proper form than watch somebody with awful form lift 400 lbs.

That makes me…

Note: If you finish your first workout with the bar and still aren’t comfortable with the movements, it’s never a bad thing to do your next workout with just the bar again.

If you’re not comfortable with the movement and you start adding weight, not only will you be more likely to injure yourself because your body isn’t ready, but you’ll be more likely to hurt yourself because you won’t be confident under the bar.

Confidence is something that is very important as you start lifting heavier and heavier.

If you’re planning on using dumbbells as your main lift (and not a barbell), start with the 5-10 lb dumbbells to get a feel for things.

Whether you’re starting with dumbbells or ready to move onto a barbell, it’s important to do it properly!

We check the form of EVERY online coaching client on their workouts so they have the confidence that they’re doing these moves correctly!

Get your form checked by an expert, and never worry if you’re doing the movement right:

How to find the right gym and train properly in one.

How To Start Adding Weight to the Barbell

If you’re looking to start on a beginner program, such as the workouts in our Beginner Strength Training Workouts or our 6 Beginner Gym Workouts, you need to start light!

A few common rep ranges for beginner programs are:

5 sets of 5 reps

3 sets of 8 reps

3 sets of 10 reps

Let’s do an example. Your program has you doing 5 sets of 5 on a particular lift.

1) After a proper warm-up routine, start with the empty bar again, and complete the prescribed number of reps (for this, it would be 5).

“But I thought you said we could add weight this time?” you might be thinking.

You can – but no matter how heavy you are going, always start with just the bar to warm up for EACH exercise.

If you watch the best lifters in your gym, you will notice they all warm up with “just the bar” to start, often for multiple sets!

This helps get your body warm, primes your nervous systems and all of your muscles for that movement, and gets you ready to lift heavier weight.

As a beginner to strength training, this is especially important to ingrain proper technique.

2) Add a small amount of weight to the bar. Depending on how heavy the bar felt, start by adding anywhere from 2.5lbs to 10lbs to each side. When in doubt, add the lower amount. You can always add more! Do another set of 5 reps at this weight.

(Note: If you’re doing dumbbell training, instead of adding weight to the bar, increase the weight of the dumbbell. Start with 5 lb. dumbbells, then 10 lb. dumbbells, for example)

3) If you were able to complete those reps both without losing form and without the speed of the bar slowing, add more weight to the bar.

Base the amount of new weight off how it felt – if the last set felt really light, add 10’s, if it felt heavy, add 2.5’s or 5’s.

4) Continue to do this until your form starts to break down or the speed of the lift gets slower on any of your reps.

The weight you used right before your form started to break down is your starting weight on which you will base all future workouts!

5) If it is a lower number than you expect, that’s great actually!

Don’t try to be a hero your first workout, it is better to start out too light than too heavy.

Remember – we’re trying to get solid, productive sets in, not find our max, so we want all of the reps to be fast and with as perfect form as our body allows.

And since during this process you’re testing out heavier weights for the first time, never be afraid to have a spotter, or to use pins to ensure your safety!

If you don’t want to figure ANY of this out on your own, and you just want somebody to tell you exactly how much to lift, how many sets, reps, etc., I hear you.

I’ve had a lifting coach for years and it’s the best investment I make each month!

No more guesswork. Let us build a custom program for you to follow in our Online Coaching App! Learn more:

How do I know when to add more weight?

Once you’ve found your starting weight, you’ll want to start using something called “progressive overload.”

This sounds a lot fancier than it really is.

As we lay out in our Strength 101 intro, progressive overload means gradually increasing the stress put on your body during training.

In other words, we need to increase something, regularly. Usually, this means the amount of weight we lift.

And for beginners, that can often happen after every workout.

During every workout, our muscles are torn and broken down. Then after every workout – for the next 24-48+ hours, our body repairs itself. If you’re getting proper sleep and nutrition, it heals back stronger than it was before.

Conversely, if you do 5 sets of 5 squats at 100 lbs every single workout for months, are you getting stronger?

Most likely not.

Your body is actually just getting more efficient at lifting 5×5 at 100 lbs, burning fewer calories, and using less energy to make that movement happen.

So, how much weight do you add when you’re ready to increase your workouts?

That depends on how difficult the set was last time.

This is where great note-taking comes in (I’m a huge fan of a simple notebook, or Evernote docs on my phone).

Be sure to document each workout with:

How much you lifted.

How many sets and reps.

How your lifts went.

How you felt during the workout.

Did you go to failure on your last set?

Did your form break down on any of the reps?

You’ll end up in one of two positions:

PATH A: You failed to complete any of your reps or your form started to break down. Do the same weight again next workout, and focus on boosting your form and technique of each rep.

Remember, if you are doing the same workout as last time, but each rep is more solid and with better form than before, you’re still doing better than you were the last workout.

In other words, you’re still leveling up.

You don’t necessarily have to go up in weight every workout to see gains. Less rest between sets, more control and better form, and more repetitions all mean you are getting stronger.

PATH B: You were able to get through all of your sets with great form, and without the bar slowing down. Congrats! Consider adding more next week. It’s not unheard of for beginners to add 10-20lbs a week to some lifts (especially squats and deadlifts), though don’t get discouraged if you’re only adding 2.5 or 5!

The BEST THING YOU CAN DO: slowly add the smallest amount of weight possible, and progress consistently. This is much preferred to progressing quickly then hit a plateau.

Each week, as you add a little bit of weight, you are building strength, confidence, and momentum.

Note: For some lifts, especially the overhead press or bench press, adding just 5 lbs may be too much to go up per workout.

I personally have a set of 1.25lb plates that I bring with me to the gym so that I can still progress regularly.

Remember: You’re going to have shitty days at the gym. There will be days when you can’t add any weight, or you feel like you have to take a step backward.

So many things affect how your lifts are going to feel – from a baby crying all night, to lots of stress at the office, to drinking too much at the big game, or just not eating enough for your goals.

It’s important to listen to your body over listening to some number telling you what you should be lifting.

You want to make progress every time you walk into the gym, and that means having a specific plan to follow.

Don’t have a workout to follow? Tired of not getting results despite all the effort?

This is what we do for a living! Help people like you get out of ruts and finally get them the results they want.

After doing my own workout programming for 5 years, I hired a coach and it changed my life. Let us help you hit your goals too.

No more guesswork. Let us create an exact program for you to follow! We'll be with you every step of the way. Learn more:

How Do I Calculate My 1 Rep MAx? I want to know how much I can lift!

It’s really fun to find the maximum amount of weight you can do for one repetition (one rep max) every once in a while.

However, as a beginner who is just starting strength training, it’s better that you start with getting the movement right and adding weight slowly before trying to find a one-rep max.

I would suggest you follow a program for at least six weeks before even attempting “a heavy single”.

Why?

Even if your form is as good as you can get it now, you will get far better, learning how to make tweaks and corrections as you go.

When you first start out, you’re still getting everything down, so your one-rep max won’t be a “true” one-rep max.

Plus, when you train, you’re training everything in your body.

Some things, like muscles and bones, get stronger, while others, like your nervous system, get more efficient.

The more you do something, the better you get at it. And in the beginning you’ll get better very quickly.

It’s unwise to attempt a 1 repetition maximum when you’re learning the movement.

This is one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia.”

But only slightly less well-known is this: “Never attempt a 1-rep max as a beginner.”

Even if you can do it with proper form with lighter weights, as soon as the weight gets close to your 1 rep max your form will start to break down, and you are more likely to hurt yourself.

When your form starts to break down, you need to have the experience behind you to finish (or bail out of) the lift safely.

If you watch any weightlifting or powerlifting competition, sometimes the lifts are not the prettiest lifts you’ve ever seen.

However, the lifters are experienced enough to handle this, and know how to bail if something goes wrong.

As a beginner, you are not.

Want to lift more than you’ve ever lifted before? Work with our Online Coaching Program and start getting results! Learn more:

what is a respectable amount to be lifting?

The simple answer? The weight that’s right for you.

You are not competing against the guy next to you; you’re competing against the YOU from last week (like racing your ghost in Mario Kart).

As far as what you can strive for, there’s no easy calculation or formula.

While some people have put out strength standards, it’s truly up to your body, your body type, your background as an athlete, your genetics, and many other factors.

You should be lifting the amount that’s right for you today. In your next workout, you should be trying to lift more (even if you can’t do more weight, try doing one more rep, or with less rest between sets) than you did last time.

That’s it.

As a part of this journey, I want you to completely forget about strength standards and forget about everyone around you.

I don’t care if the guy (or girl) next to you is squatting 500 lbs for sets of 10.

If you’re squatting 50 lbs, and that’s the weight that is challenging for you, then that’s the weight you should be lifting.

These are the BIG mistakes you need to avoid:

Never EVER try to outlift the person next to you.

Never EVER adjust the weight to impress someone.

No one’s judging you based on the weight on the bar, and if they are, they aren’t worth your time or energy.

To recap “How much should I lift?”:

The strongest lifters do a dynamic warm-up first.

The strongest lifters warm up with “just” the bar.

The strongest lifters focus on getting their reps in, and aren’t ashamed that they’re lifting less than the guy next to them.

The strongest lifters take time to get things right, even if that means lifting less weight than they know they “can” do.

The strongest lifters started off doing a beginners program just like you.

So remember – start slow, add weight slowly, and stay conservative.

It’s amazing how much even adding just 5 lbs (2kg) a week adds up to! It’s far better to play it safe in the beginning than to find yourself injured and frustrated before you have a chance to progress.
