My program change happened at the beginning of my second month of working out consistently, so about twenty-one days ago.
I had to do it. My routine of working out mornings at 5 AM Monday through Friday had me burnt out. I didn’t even realize it, but I wasn’t resting and recovering properly.
Now that I’m sleeping an extra hour or so, sometimes two, during the week, and getting plenty of sleep on the weekends, I feel so much more sore! That’s gotta’ be a good sign, amirite?
So, my new program involves working out weekend mornings, and three weekdays after work and I cannot tell you how much better this has been for me. With the extra rest and more energy I have to put into the workout, I’m actually getting a better workout in! Who would’ve thought, right?
My revised schedule is:
- Saturday: Back
- Sunday: Legs
- Monday: Chest
- Tuesday: Rest
- Wednesday: Arms
- Thursday: Shoulders
- Friday: Rest
I’m also able to down my homemade pre-workout when I get home from work, along with a small, high carb meal, and the extra boost in energy from doing this has been phenomenal.
The other benefit is I don’t feel rushed, like I was during my morning workouts, checking my watch every few minutes, worried I’d be late for work. That’s all gone now. My workouts are now clock-free and it’s a joy. Now, I can even tack on some cardio to my workout for cool-down, or even to burn some extra calories and lean-out when I’m on a mini-cut.
Better workouts, better pumps, more rest, more recovery = more gains, my friends.
