loheswaran Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I am going through a transitional phase in training. I have been doing a two way split over three days - day one chin ups dips 5-8 reps superset for 4 sets dumbell shoulder pressbarbell curlchairr dips 10-12 reps superset 3 sets day two clamsclam holdleg raiseleg hold each leg 4 minutes (these were exercises given to me by my physio due to a knee injury for my non existent butt)single leg squats 5 reps x 3-4 sets slow squats - using bodyweight - light weightss I am now wanting to move to a power compound workout made up off: day one chin ups - 4 x 8 - 10 repsbench press 4 x 8-10 repssquats 4 x 12-15 reps day two undergrip shin up 4 x 8-10dips 4 x 8 - 10power clean and press 4 x 12 - 15 On in between days I am doing early morning 8 minute or 6 minute abs I am exhausted and am wondering if I can get benefits doing weights twice a week, and abs 2-3 times a week This is because it will allow me to get to Yoga 1-2 times a week - I can do Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga - or do some other stuff like mountain biking on a sunday. Please post me your thoughts thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbs Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Not sure of what you level is, but I switched from 3 days of weights to 2 days 3 months ago, and apparently not losing anything, while training for a marathon. So I reckon there's not much risk to try, plus that gives you the time to do the other activities you enjoy. If you're exhausted, it's probably safe to take a few days off to rest and re-think your training.Other solutions could be for instance: keep the 3 day schedule, but do less sets, or drop supersets for a while as it's an efficient but demanding technique , or try to eat more, or work or sleep /nutrition, etc. Good luck!
