I need to get back to lifting but was lifting 5 days a week. Like everybody said, split up the workouts and do different things. Ill see if I can get a copy of our workout schedule. Pushups and crunches help.
I know a couple guys that are big into lifting, and 2 of them do the shows or whatever. They were eating steak, like 2 a day or more to gain mass. One of them told me chicken would be better to drop mass put still have the protein.
Cant stress the importance of a spotter too. Have to push yourself but you want to be safe. Also the techniques and forms are #1. If you dont have them down, you are only hurting yourself. The heavy weight is what stretchs the muscles so they grow.
Maybe find somebody close that lifts that can help out, or maybe get a lifting partner.
