What does fedi think of my training regimen. Started it today, did a month of basic foundational prep that just consisted of me going on random machines and lifting random shit now I'm looking to go with a plan.
Some comments from today - I think picking 5 exercises from a list to do is a good start. Today was chest, triceps, and bench and I felt a tightness in my muscles at the last set of each exercise, though starting off always felt easy. 2 minutes of rest was enough to make sure I went back and finished my set, next week I will try to keep the weights the same but add an extra set for this day. I think that last set I can try to aim for failure. I was having trouble concentrating on finishing my miles, I could feel my brain getting sluggish when I stepped on the treadmill, and running does not excite me as much as when I was starting. I was supposed to finish with a 30 minute run to cooldown at the end of my workout but I only did 3 quarters of a mile. I can do better at the end, or maybe it would be a good idea to taper back a bit and not go so hard my last 30 minutes. So far though I know I'm doing a good job, it wasn't too long ago I felt I was physically incapable of running for 20 minutes let alone an hour. It will come in time. I also need to eat and sleep more at night, during the day is the only time I have to workout efficiently and get my meals in. I will need to improve on eating and sleep if I want better results.
