sup /fit/

Just came back from the gym.
This is what I did today:
20 minutes cycle machine, 10 minutes of which are HIIT.
5x5 squatz
5x5 bench press
3xF Chinup
A bunch of hanging knee/leg raises.
20 minutes cooldown on elliptical

Then I bought an overprice ($5.50) smoothie which tastes like shit (73 calories) but has a Protein boost (9g). Still a waste though.

So /fit/ my questions to you are:
What should I change to my routine (I'll add deadlifts soon, but what else)?

ummm
I dunno. Today was my first time working out really.


For the squats, is it supposed to hurt my shoulders a bit while the weight is on me?

what part of your shoulder? if it feels too uncomfortable you can adjust your grip on the bar (either closer or farther apart). When i first started squatting my lower neck/traps felt like death, but after a week i was completely fine.

Yeah I agree cardio should be seperated from the rest of your exercise. A warmup run is fine, but HIIT is not a warmup (you shouldnt even be able to squat any usefull weight at all after HIIT imho but whatever) though maybe you mean you do 10 minutes of cycling in intervals. Do training for cardio later that day or on the next day.

And instead of a smoothie take a protein shake and a banana or something.

Add an overhead press.

First, like others said, don't do cardio on lifting days.

Second, if you just recently started lifting this is a fine routine, add deadlifts.

Eventually you're going to want to get into a routine where you workout specific body parts each day. For instance: M - Legs/Shoulder, Tues- Chest/Triceps, Wed- Bicep/Back, Thurs- Rest. Rinse and repeat.
