Strength Day!
This is the day I lift HEAVY! I focus on compound exercises; deadlifts, lunges, shoulder press etc. This workout is usually around 6 exercises with 3 - 6 sets of each. These are heavy weights where I'm aiming for a maximum of 6 reps. I usually go to failure on the last few sets.
As this workout is aimed at strength gains, I aim to take 2 - 4 minutes between each set. I hate this! I enjoy sweating hard and a pounding heart rate when i workout and this routine is the oppersite of that. For each set I am fully recovered from the last, my heart is barely elevated. It doesn't feel right to me. I make the most of this time by walking slowly around the gym. 4 laps is about right. I set the timer running on my phone so I can ensure i have enough rest. This walk in between sets nets me over 4000 steps which is 40% of my daily total. 40% of my daily total on time I could have wasted sitting down on my phone. Pretty smart! (I wish it was me that thought of it, but it was something a saw on a youtube video last year)
Its a weird workout for me. I walk out, hardly sweating, but then feel absolutely cooked about an hour later.
