I used to exercise at night and still will to some degree. But a big part of this change is that I want to get up earlier and go to bed earlier. Tell me what you think.
Saturday:
5 am: wake up and lift (upper body)
Sunday:
5 am: wake up and run 3+ miles. Work on getting endurance up so I can do 1 hours runs.
4 PM: lift (lower body)
Repeat:
do Saturday/Sunday cycle going in Monday->Thursday taking Friday off
If it is raining on a run morning, I skip running and treat it as recovery time.
Rational:
I figure doing running and lower body weights 12 hours later will provide 2 nights and 1 day of recovery for the lower body.
Weights:
Upper Body:
Bent over Rows (Pendaly rows)
Bench Press
Military Press
Lat Pull down
Arm curls
might also do:
incline press
dumbbell flys
shoulder shrugs
Lower body:
Squats
Deads
Situps
Toe raises
Good mornings
5x5 or 4x5 or 3x5?
I was doing 5x5. I think I am beyond that now.
Should I stay with 5x5 or move to 4x5 or 3x5? I am mostly doing this to fight boredom.
Thoughts?
Please provide opinions. I might change run to run or bike. Don't know yet.
