Yea but then you have 3 things you need to work on rather than just 2.

no need for popcorn; I don't think anyone readily admits to being one of those people...I'm sure the ones that do it are too oblivious to even know because they are idiots.

Anyways...I did lifts with him in reps of 5...several per day...we weren't super aggressive but I didn't do a lot of cardio then and when I went on vacation I had almost zero fat and, in all honesty, was pretty cut.

And I never pushed myself to the max...I always felt good and accomplished after a workout but never went gung ho. I just went every day.

That's where I'm trying to get today...but instead of lifting, I'm doing it primarily with cardio. I have a good metabolism and feel like with the cardio regimen alone 6 days a week I'll easily drop the 10-15 lbs.

All I'm trying to do is supplement...I'm not trying to get a professional workout, which is why (along with cost) I chose Planet "we have pizza parties on Mondays" Fitness.

Silock's is probably where it is at for you then. Just don't get all billy bad ass and load up the weight for more than you're good for.

I don't think there are any real jackasses here. I'd venture a guess that most people in this thread go to the gym to get better, not to be hardasses.

I am with Silock on this. Lighter weights does not mean better form especially on squats/deads. Form stays much tighter for almost everyone on a squat/dead set of 5 reps with mod-heavy weight than it does with 15+ reps and light weight. I have never understood why people equate light weight to mean good form when you fatigue your muscles to the extreme by doing so many reps.

Weight lifting should be about increasing reps per weight or increasing weight. If you aren't in the gym trying to add weight or reps at a certain weight, you might as well not even lift. People forget that to change your body you have to progress. Progression is not going into the gym and doing the same weight/reps on a given exercise every time.

You won't be able to give proper time to each lift given your time constraints if you do more than one per day. Nor should you do each lift every day. I gave it to you that way so that you can work one major muscle group each day and never the same muscle group two days in a row.

Give me two a day for a compromise

You're going to run out of time if you seriously dedicate yourself to two lifts. But, try it.

Add 2x12 or 3x8 of the following:
Monday - Incline bench
Tuesday - Face pulls
Wednesday - Decline bench
Thursday - DB Pullovers
Friday - Plank Rows
Saturday - add nothing

Football practice was my favorite workout. I might never be as cut as I was then.

Hootie · 12-21-2012, 07:21 PM

football practice was tame and easy compared to basketball practice
