So the only parts of my body that are legitimately sore are my traps, right hip flexor, and my damn knee. I thought my hamstrings were gonna be killing me but they are just a bit achey when I go into a squat 👍

I have a question??? Do you guys do a day of conditioning? And cardio? Like on a weekly basis?

No matter where I am at, I typically take a day for LISS....swimming more, walking more, etc. Lift 3-4 days when I highly motivated, cycle 3-5 days most weeks. Then again, if I wear a fitbit does it still count my hair wash as LISS? Hmmm.....Also, while not critical it is probably a good idea to fit some easy weeks in around or about 5-6 weeks back. I'm just spitballing though. Easy week=less then usual, dial it back to ramp it back up.

@CrashtestDawnie - Seriously, I take "Nutricost Pure L-Leucine Powder" before or after my workouts. The taste is horrible so I mix it in Gatorade and vinegar extract.

@CrashtestDawnie - The Isopure Amino Supplement, with BCAAs that I saw had a "BCAA Blend" of 5g, but, I am not sure that is the same as taking 5g of just Leucine. I am just sharing my own experience from my 50 year old body when lifting weight and running. After I started taking the stuff the 'next day soreness' is gone.

@chrisw77 - No problem :)

Lol thanks for all the advice I appreciate it and yes to research!! 😍😅 The reason I ask about the conditioning and cardio is because my trainer friend says I need to add a full day of both. I feel like 20 minutes of warming up is almost enough to suffice. I did notice while in NC (a much higher elevation than Miami) that I was seriously winded when hiking. Usually I would be upping my cardio right before vacation. I didn’t do that this time... 🤔

Oh and the knee sleeves I bought were really tight on my calves 😑 I’m going to order some wraps instead

Lol the cardio predicament. No you don’t need it. You get your heart work with lifting. I do 10min/elliptical to warm up before, that’s all.

Yeah, it’s just your choice. 10 min elliptical then directly heavy stuff. My workouts are short anyway.

Chris she believes that you shouldn’t just be strong but fit as well 🤷♀️ I will just stick to my regular amount of warming up I’ve been doing (which is a good 15+ minutes). I read on bodybuilder.com about the pre exhaustion. I think that in a way, I’m doing that now. Ppl generally start out small and increase the intensity. Maybe that’s not the same though 🤔 Bodybuider also says the method is not good for beginners. Because of over training

Well I will gladly skip the cardio for the most part 😬 and I will be sure to include moves that support my main movement in my warm ups. In a couple of weeks I should be done figuring out my plan. Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll be able to get in the gym! I have not been sleeping well 😑

Can’t agree more on that, Chris is right!
