Weightlifting - Slowing the Rate
I'd didn't really know what to title this..
I have three different sets of excersizes while lifting, each for a different day...
Push - triceps, chest
Pull - biceps, back
Legs
I do Monday, Thursday push
Tues, Thurs pull
Wed legs
Sat aerobics
I've done good with this program. I've lost 50 lbs myself, and even more bodyfat (from 37% to 23%)
But I find that my muscles hurt longer with the heavier weights. Pointed example - my biceps hurt for 4-5 days, and if I try to lift again on my normal schedule, the muscles on the side of my forearm howl in pain. I mean, it hurts pretty bad.
So, I was thinking of just doing each set of excersizes once a week instead of two, because my pain is obviously fatigue related.
Does anyone else lifting just once a week per muscle? Does it work out for you?
