The first thing I have been trying to figure out is a good workout schedule. Being a noob, I have been so sore some days it makes working out different things tough. The last leg day left me sore for 6 days. Mind you, it was the first one in forever, and I shredded them. It leaves me to wonder what a good, logical order would be. I am looking at a 5 day schedule. I want the weekends off with my kiddos. But I don't mind working out for 5 days straight. So if anyone has some suggestions throw them my way. I'm open to anything.
That being said, the journey to the gym has been difficult. When you walk in and you feel immediately judged. Not much bothers me so I press on with my agenda. However, it is obvious that the gym rats judge an outsider who doesn't look like them. Shame on you all. You should be giving encouragement, or even tips to help someone you know is new to the scene out. Give them pointers so they don't injure themselves. Don't judge them because they are doing curls with a 25lb weight instead of a 50 like experienced lifters.
Today was a shoulder day for me. I am not sure what all of these exercises are called but I'm going to give it a shot. I started this way:
1. 4 sets of 8 bent over rows with 55lb dumbell
2. 4 sets of a standing type row with a curl bar at 70 + whatever that bar weighs. (pulling the bar from fully extended arms to up around my clavicle)
3. 4 sets of 8 seated rows on the machine with 120.
4. 4 sets of 8 with the lat pull down (I think that's right) at 100.
That is a new guy's shoulder workout. Any tips or suggestions?
