The guys are right
Thank you for all your help over the past days but I tried to listen to one advice in particular: Don´t overthink it. And when I tried I found a plan on how to work out. The split I am currently doing allows me to still work every muscle group 3x a week, therefore getting between 15-18 sets per muscle group per week while not having to do more than 20 sets per workout. I already tried that split this week and will continue next week but for the moment I am happy with it. Seems like a very reasonable volume, both per week and workout. With that being said here are the exercises and weights from this week (a little remark: I know some advised me to do lower weights and higher reps, but I want to do hypertrophy training at the moment, so I am doing around 6-12 reps per set with more weight. I am not saying it is the better way to workout but just how I want to do it at the moment):
Upper Body
Inclined Bench Press: 33lbs
Butterfly Machine: 130lbs (+16lbs)
Dumbbell Flys: 33lbs
Triceps Press: 33lbs
Triceps Pushdown: 40lbs (+10lbs)
Shoulder Press: 28lbs
Lateral Raises Machine: 80lbs (+10lbs)
Inclined Dumbbell Curls: 20lbs.
Hammer Curls: 22lbs
Wrist Curls: 6lbs
Of course I don´t expect to be able to go up in weights every workout but it´s still great to see some progress in numbers.
Lower Body
Lunges: 27lbs
Leg Press: 145 lbs
Leg Extensions: 85lbs
Leg Curls: 85lb
I know I am not doing that many lower exercises at the moment (though I will increase and change them a bit over time but more than 6-7 shouldn´t be needed I believe), but for the moment I am okay with it. Legs are fun but not my absolute priority and these exercises are hard enough, especially on my quads.
Also, here are some food pics of this week:
Chicken breast with spinach/quinoa/onion and a cheese twister (900 calories, 63g carbs, 39g fat, 65g protein)
Rice with tofu, zucchini, tomatoes and paprika (900 calories, 108 carbs, 29g fat, 44g protein
Feta-Spinach-Quiche (2 servings, each 700 calories, 12g carbs, 50g fat, 45g protein)
