Daily update inbound. 30 October 2018-
Today was a very successful workout. I've decided to experiment a little this week by changing a few minor techniques of which my workouts are structured. If you've been following this thread so far, then i thank you for being here and please criticize away. I need that. I am continuing to apply a technique out of hairygrandpa's (HGP) experiment. If you haven't taken a look at that thread, I think it is worth your time.
A quick explanation on what I'm talking about. if you did chest, bi's and tri's yesterday, then you would hit those exercises again today, but at a de-load, or drop sets. The goal is not to go to failure on these muscles the second day. After you knock that out, continue on with your scheduled workout for today. Please correct me if i have mis-spoken HairyGP.
Due to the differences in nutrition values throughout the day between HGP and I, have decided to alter the method to fit into my plan. Instead of re-touching on the whole of yesterday's workout, I am only utilizing the main exercises that my workout are based off of.
For Example: If i would have had bench, curls, pulls downs, and DB presses as my main lifts on Monday's workout, then i would have utilized those same lifts this morning without all of the adjoining super-sets that i usually throw in. Albeit, at less weight and fewer sets, but its is a great way to warm up.
All of the super-set adjoining exercises will accumulate onto Sunday's workout. I am considering adding a Saturday workout to the list so I can spread those out over the two days. that way recovery can still occur. By hitting the lower body on Saturday and upper on Sunday, that may allow me to have adequate recovery for legs on Monday. we shall see.
The only other major change that i have implemented was combining all exercises into a higher intensity. If you refer to last week's workout sheet that I've posted before, you will notice that I color coordinate super-setting main lifts, but only two at a time. Then i hit all of the adjoining exercises (for those to lifts) in between the next set. Since I have now added the re-touch on yesterday's workouts, I am pressed for time. So, I alleviated that pressure by turning the entire workout basically into a circuit. The intensity made me puke this morning. I set a standard of 35 seconds of rest between every second set. All i can say is, I am glad no-one wants to work out at 3:30am. I took up a lot of space and looked like I had rabies moving around that place. I decided now was the time to amp things up and after doing more research on full body workouts (thanks to MrKleen73 advice on another thread) I've found that i can apply the same principle to a set supporting muscle groups. I.E. chest, delts,tris,bis etc. but instead of wearing out one at a time, I cover the entire spectrum.
