Okay /fit/, so I was lifting for chest and triceps today, and I start out on my chest (as usual). I end up having a very difficult time on the first set of a weight I should be able to do with relative easy (I can benchpress about 10-15 lbs more than what burned me out). So I ended up doing 3 sets of 6 reps for incline and normal benchpress, stopped lifting, and did my cardio. I've been eating plenty of protein (got 179g in yesterday), so do I just need to rest more?My workout from this week:Monday: Back, biceps, cardio; Tuesday: Cardio; Wednesday: Chest, triceps, and cardio; Thursday: Back, biceps, and abs; Friday: Cardio.If that was the problem, when should I try to lift for my chest and triceps again?
>>17444i start every week with legs, but then i don't use that split.which split are you going to use? because you've listed workouts from two different ones.
since we're going over splits, how does mine look?Monday - Chest/BicepsTues- cardio/absWed- Back/TricepsThurs- cardio/absFri - Legs/shoulders
>>17456I haven't decided, but I'm leaning towards a chest/triceps, back/biceps, legs/shoulders split, since the chest and back lifts also work your triceps and biceps respectively.
LOL 179G OF PROTEIN.I'm trying to gain muscular strength and size.. i eat 3x my body weight in kilos in grams per day so i'm at 270g per day everday...but look, you're having a bad day. that's all. sleep much? stressed? maybe those contributed..otherwise just hop back up on that horse and go get cut/big/thin/fit
>>17494go legs first. it'll be hard if you haven't done it before so get it out of the way while you're fresh.>>17499i actually responded to you then i got it.good point though, the op might be eating too much protein and not enough of everything else. you still need an energy surplus to convert protein into tissue.
>>17499I'm 6'0" and 175 lbs. 179g of protein is just about 1g per pound of bodyweight, and is where about 30% of my daily calories come from.>>17504Legs first it is.
>>17538that's about right then.
