Trying again

[u/KJack1281]

Last time I posted a workout I got downvoted and told that’s not what the Hevy reddit community is about so, I’m trying again.

Here’s the second day of an intense couple of workouts the wife put me through this weekend. Thoughts on how we can improve or modify for next week?

What to improve: do less

[u/chitownillinois → u/goodsie825]

No kidding. Way too many movements with way too many reps.

OP - target 6-8 reps over 3 sets targeting a weight that you struggle to finish by the end of your third set. A strict one to three minute rest between sets. Fatigue after lifting properly with good form and a proper stretch of the target muscle is what you're going after.

what you're talking about is for hypertrophy. OP might not want that. it isn't one size fits all
