should we challenge the limit or know our limits?
-
As in, For example I gym alone, For lat pulldown, i can only do 80kg
but in order to challenge myself, i do 100kg?
or should i just stay at 80 until i can add more weight? -
Why do you need a spotter for lat pulldown?

Cant you read, "As in, For example I gym ALONE" ?Originally posted by de_middle:happens when u pump too much iron
So i was wondering why does it matter because whilst doing the lat pulldown if you can do it, you can just release it.
Do you even go to the gym

err, then why pose a question like thisOriginally posted by Simon Dean:Why do you need a spotter for lat pulldown? -

you infering too much
besides, just ans his qn man. -

Doesnt this give a slight hint that he might feel insecure doing a heavier weight by himself.
Thus, comes my question if this is the case?And mentioning that the lat pulldown is something you can let go out safely as its a cable system.
I have already answered the question if you bother to delve more in-depth. -
challenge is good. i feel excited when i challenge myself. to improve my personal best record. adrenaline rush.
-
jesus..
the question is whether is recommended to challenge the limit or stay within the limit
not whether or not i need someone to help me -
HHUUH!?!?
okay if this were a lit text maybe you could do that but I FEEEEL that you should just ans his qns directly, not ask him another qn which he has to then think and infer for himself. his inference skills might not be as deep as yours.
i.e. IMHO -

To Simon:
Cool dude. You demonstrated great restraint against others in real life. No point losing it on the forum where it is all virtual and full of crap.
To TS:
Depends on your training goals and frequency. -

80 to 100 is a big jump. Sometimes it's not about challenging yourself, but also about your ego. If you let your ego get in the way of sensibility, you'll compromise on your form and may end up getting injured. The lat pulldown is a lot more forgiving, but try jumping 25% on your squat or bench and see where you end up. Probably on the floor with the weight somehow on top of you.
