While I was at the Y I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and then I hit the weights -
Biceps/Triceps
Skull crushers - superset with - bench dips
Rope pull downs
Dumbbell kickbacks
Straight bar curls
Concentration curls
I can already feel it in my arms - I will definitely be sore tomorrow.
Since I am using the gym trips as a way of breaking up my day I have decided on a 5 day split for the weights with the 6th a cardio only day and the 7th being a rest day.
A split weight workout (if you are wondering) is just a way of working only 1-2 muscles groups a day and only working out each muscle group once a week.
I find that schedule the easiest to follow when starting back into weights.
And then I treated myself to a no-cook lunch:
I just emptied the bag into a bowl and popped it into the microwave.
I had a side of sliced beets (straight out of the can) and an apple.
I was wondering how everyone else handles their diet if they are trying to gain muscle.
Is it really necessary to do all that 6 meals a day and buckets of protein approach?
What do you eat when you are trying to gain muscle (or just including weight lifting into your exercise routine?)?
