I am confused (this happens often).just a method to follow progress, helps get lifts up, especially with forgetting what was happening in previous session A = easy set, up the weight next session B = just managed the set, keep weight same next session C = didnt complete set, too heavy, decrease weight next session these change throughout each week, set, exercise etc, for example, if you have upped the weights on your first set compared to previous session the chances are set 2 or 3 will now become too heavy, im in early stages of training, so dont expect many C's atm | ||

Blah blah Away Thursday to Sunday, back for a week then away tuesday to friday, then Saturday oct 8th footy, Sunday lazy day, new start Monday 10th oct, going to look into a 3 day split for the first time, not sure how wise it is, and if I should really stick with a 2 day split due to other commitments, but once I'm focused I seem to get 3 sessions a week in all the time, diet to go with it, see what I can come up with and get my own personal suc on the go  also, good thing is I have tht week off, so will get some doms out of the way! | ||
