Well, I have been starting with weight training again as well now that the coldest period of the year is over. I had to start with some lbs less since I didn't want to start too heavy, which is probably plain stupid, but I'm doing over 200 sit ups when I work out, of which 110 in a row, which I don't consider such a bad thing since I still have some overweight 👍 (from 95 kg down to 80 at the moment, 5-8 kg still off from goal).
Some guy constantly moans about that I train with too light weights, but I each time try to explain that it isn't purely with how much weight you train, but how often you train. 30 kilos on the benchpress 3 times a week will help you along more than 60 once a week, but he won't listen to me, idiot
Anyway, here's how my schedule looks at the moment:
Monday - work out: bench, legs, sit ups, shoulder shrug, dead lift, shoulder curl (?, standing straight and lifting the weight up to your chin), and some standing preacher curls. (3 sets, 10-12 reps of everything)
Tuesday - cardio, running, anything from 8 km-16 kilometres, sometimes only 3 km but on a very high pace (5 min./km)
Wednesday - work out as on Monday
Thursday - cardio, as on Tuesday
Friday - Work out, as on Monday + swimming 1000m., current record at 35 minutes 👍
I don't train with heavy weights, I do feel sore sometimes, but not every time, especially dead lifts are still giving me a sore feeling in my back, for a week now nearly... I don't think I should go up too much as well, I'd rather train lighter without the risk of injuries with heavy weights
