Isn't that a pretty good improvement? I was really happy when I went from 1 rep at 90% of my max to 3 reps. It took me a fairly long time and this was before COVID.
Or perhaps I use a different definition of stamina? Regardless, the fact that there was an improvement shows that it can get better?
Keep at it. If you've got the resources, a good PT might be able to help. Not one of those grifters that did a 3 week course, but someone with an actual understanding of sports science.
- SuperNinKenDo 3y agoYeah, I think we're thibking about this differently. I train high reps, like really high reps, in no small part for the exact reason that I run out of stamina really quickly and want to improve it. Also because I don't have money for gym or equipment, so many of my exercises are body-weight. I somewhat agree though, albeit with a sense of resignation rather than reassurance, that some improvement offers some hope that continuing will yield further improvement. PT is out of the question for now given the financials. We'll see in the future. Thanks for trying to encourage me though.
