A couple lessons learned today
I discovered real quick today that I should get plenty of sleep prior to working legs. I got about 5-1/2 hours of sleep last night. Got up at 0530, took my dose of No-Xplode, and eventually made my way to the gym. I was going to work shoulders but when I looked in the mirror and saw my legs, I knew I should work legs instead. They definitely need the work. Even though today was my best leg workout so far, I was dead tired. I still convinced my self to do shoulders afterward, which brings me to my second learning point. For now on, Legs will have their own day. I may still do abs or something like that, but no major work on Leg day. They take up so much energy to work them, it’s hard to really work something else hard on the same day. Needless to say, my shoulder workout wasn’t the best.
So now, I’ve decided I will have four distinct days at the gym. Chest and Tris, Back and Bis, Shoulders, and Legs. I’m not big on setting a distict weekly plan as my schedule changes quite rapidly out here. I work it out as best I can. I just need to figure out when I’m going to do cardio. The weather is starting to cool down just a bit, so I might find myself doing some cardio after work. Over the past two months though, it’s been too hot for me to run outside, and I hate treadmills. If I’m gonna run, I want to get somewhere.
