Thank God :why:

If a few people remember my other thread, I mentioned how I was doing a 300 rep leg workout


A lot of people thought it was overkill. Truthfully, I was doing it per body part 4 days a week (legs, chest, back, shoulders)

At various weight moderations and various exercises, I've been doing it for about a month. I've seen some good results (but I also changed my diet and supplement intake) and was really doing it for muscle endurance for my upcoming PT test ( I often did more than 300 reps at times, feeling like 300 wasn't enough)

But I can honestly say I'm worn the fukk out. After doing this for about a month, this week has been the most difficult. I think I've run into a wall with everything. I originally planned to do 2 months, but I might just switch back to a couple weeks of light, full body, calisthenics and then cycling into heavy/low rep routine, then back to a light going into my PT cycle.

I still feel like 4 weeks isn't enough, but I feel like I was burning out/overtraining. I'm not really against overtraining but not for long periods of time:yeshrug:

Doing my first day of my new routine (was supposed to start Monday but real life intervened)


Basically I'm doing fullbody now. Today was legs, chest, and back for atleast 50 reps with weight no lower than 225. Except for back, in which I just did like 60 pull-ups (2 sets of 20 and 2 sets of 10 at a dead hang, superset with bench). It was a pretty quick workout, felt efficient...

Tomorrow will be fullbody with smaller muscles groups (bi's, Tri's, delts, abs, calves, hamstrings, etc) along with cardio with the next day being major muscles with machines. Only doing this for about a month also...


And on that note, I've also lost about in less than a month. Went from 196 to 190. My goal is to get to 180 but not in a big rush to do so
