Changes
I read recently in an article that the best workout is the one your not doing. This got me thinking about when the last time I completely overhauled my workout. Well it has been a while. Granted I never have the same workout twice but I do stick with 8-10 reps and the same basic exercises. I have decided for the next few weeks to get on a completely new routine. I am going to use a 5×5 program and go really heavy. For example. Last night on squats instead of doing 5 or 6 sets of 10 to 12 reps I went with a 5×5 for a lot of weight…for me anyway. I was on the smith machine, which i use the stoppers so I know how far down to go. I had 3 45’s and a 25 on each side and did all five sets. The last set was tough but not too bad, so next week I will be doing another 10lbs on each side. I continued this for the entire leg workout. Although I was not very tired at the end compared to what I usually do…I can feel it today that I did something different.
Changing workouts is always strange for me since it takes me so long to find something I really enjoy….opening my mind up to something completely different feels good though so I will see how it goes.
