Hi Guys,
I was wondering how most people feel after weights training - obviously after cardio training (cycling high intensity for 45 mins, or body pump wieghts many repitions) i normally feel quite exhausted at the end - and feel like i've had a good workout physically.
But i dont really feel like that after my weights training - is that perfectly fine?
I'm phasing over to more weights training per week instead of cardio to start growing more muscle mass, and i wanted to know how i should feel after a good weights training exercise....
For example on a shoulders / tricep day i do this (i do feel i need maybe 1 more set of shoulders):
Shoulder presses - 4 sets of 10
Lateral raises 4 sets of 12
Shoulder shrugs 4 sets of 10
Tricep pull downs 4 sets of 12
Tricep dips 4 sets of 12
Then finished with kettlebell squats into shoulder press (using kettle bells)
This normally takes me 40 mins.
Now each set of exercises by the last set was tough, with my muscles feeling pumped and approaching failure.
But at the end of the whole workout, i did not feel tired or lacking energy.
This may be a stupid question, but wanted to see how others felt after a good weights training workout
Many Thanks
