Hi there, I had taken a break from weights for about a month and now am back at it! I break up my week like this:
Monday - Chest (2 exercises, 12 sets total) + interval cardio
Tuesday - Back (2 exercises, 12 sets total) + interval cardio
Wednesday - Legs* (see below for what I've been doing)
Thursday - Shoulders (2 exercises, 12 sets total) + interval cardio
Friday - Biceps (2 exercises, 12 sets total) + interval cardio
Saturday - Triceps (2 exercises, 12 sets total) + interval cardio
Sunday - rest
*As for legs, I had previously been doing 6 sets of dumbbell squats, (15 reps, 10 reps, 5 reps, 5 reps, 10 reps, 15 reps) weights getting heavier, then lighter as I come back to the set of 15. Then I have done the same type of sets/reps with dumbbells for lunges, and then calf raises.
This just seems like a LOT of work and a lot of reps! Maybe I'm just a wuss
I wanted to get a sense of what you all do for your leg workouts. I am more inclined to do free weights vs. machines that much I know. Tips, suggestions to mix it up, all are welcome!!!
