QUOTE(kotmj @ Jun 1 2009, 08:05 PM) Added on June 2, 2009, 10:21 amIt's quarter past 10, made PRs at 7:30-8:30 a.m. in all lifts (squat, overhead press, deadlift, chinup) it's post breakfast and I'm feeling like shit. Can't even walk with my normal posture. Tired, tired, tired. I'm getting that coffee. Exactly how many muscle groups are you working out a day man? Doing squats and deadlifts on the same day? Adding chinups and overhead presses on top of that? That's pretty intense stuff and it wouldn't be a surprised if you feel completely drained for the rest of the day. What are you workouts like? I suggest focusing on 1 muscle group a day, and do a complete cycle. Lets say your working out 3 days a week, and you have a 5 day split routine like this: Mon - Chest Wed - Back Fri - Arms (following week) Mon - Shoulders Wed - Legs Fri - Chest x repeat Finish the cycle on all muscle groups, dont worry about your muscles getting lazy or anything if your resting them too long. Chest day will cause indirect stimulation of triceps, back day will cause indirect stimulation of biceps.. etc You would be giving you muscles time to grow and recover, and you could add in some cardio on your off weight days to shed some bf. Try it, this cycle really helped me with waking up early and not feeling completely drained for classes after workout days.. This post has been edited by tineagle: Jun 2 2009, 12:11 PM |

QUOTE(kotmj @ Jun 2 2009, 06:25 PM) Lots of people seem to have great success doing 5 day splits. But the program I'm doing is about building up strength, and only peripherally about hypertrophy. It's very specific, and two books have been written about it. It's extremely taxing, but I'll stick to it for as long as I can. ic, but if this program of yours is interfering with your job and life I would consider a 5day split if i were you.The coffee really helped, and post-lunch I felt much better. I'm still deeply fatigued, but functional, as opposed to this morning when I wasn't. good luck then. |
