Hey Dan yeah I reckon try the shorter reps but higher weights. Ie instead of 12 at 10kg barbell try 8 at 15kg.

They say you should only be able to do 8 to 12 reps before you can’t do anymore if it’s the right weight

Good on you for transforming Dan it must be pleasing to hear the compliments

I hear you about the culture thing. Do you identify strongly with your Indian heritage? I think i too have that trait. I’m of Polish descent and dad was very proud of our noble roots and the gentlemanly aspects which I always aspired to. Keep being a generous gentleman Dan, but perhaps tone down the generosity with XW . And just be mindful of not getting taken advantage of!

Cheers ds
