First of all, the volume is about 1/3 of what I used to do. I know that's a lot, but I never got sore with it, so still felt like it wasn't enough. I'm sure as hell not going to be sore after this day, that's for sure. And I was done in 38 minutes! I plan to spend an hour in the gym, I pay for an hour of parking, and I'm done in 38 minutes. What am I supposed to do with the remaining 22? Today I did a little ab work, but....? I guess some running (but I was already gonna do cardio on an off day or two and I'm supposed to be bulking).
I had this problem before where I felt I wasn't getting enough out of my workouts, so you can imagine how i feel now. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I'm just such a big pussy, I'm not doing nearly enough weight. So I wanted to see if the weight I'm using is just too little for someone of my size (6'2", 185lbs, probably up to 13-14% bf now but still a scrawny bastard). This is from today:
Bench: 6@140, 6@150
Incline DB: 2x6 w/ 55's
Dips: 2x8 (no weight, don't have a belt. when I did these, my tris were feeling it, I didn't feel jack in my chest)
Chin-ups (wide grip pullups): 2x6 with 60lbs assitance (I think)
Deadlifts: 6@100, 6@120
Barbell rows: I couldn't even do these, due to the "gangly nerd" syndrome I mentioned in an earlier post. I tried using the smith machine and could do a couple mediocre-form reps with 100lbs. I need to figure out how to do them or a replacement.
Shrugs: 10 w/ 55's
Yes, these are truly pathetic numbers. But that's why I'm posting, I'm new to this and I need to get progressing. I could post what I do for the exercises on the other two days, but that would get long, so I won't unless suggested. I'm just really hard up here for some answers.
