Question

if i have weightlifting everyday but ones after school while the other is during school and they are both for an hour, what should my workout routine look like if during my after school session is when i do deadlifts,powerclean, clean and jerk along with using upper body strength, what should i be doing during my other class to maintain strength but not do the same workout

Answer 1

because you should only use weights 2-3 times a week but this would cause me to do it 4 times a week. would it ruin it even if i did other workouts that just helped improve?

Answer 2

Monday~
power clean
clean and jerk
deadlift

Tuesday~
(3rd pd)
bicep curl
incline
leg ext.
bench
lunge

how could i fit these into my schedule to where i am able to do all of them without working out too much if i have 3rd pd every other day, so therefore it switches off from monday,wednesday,friday, and tuesday, thursday?

@Teddyiswatshecallsme

Answer 14

do you get what i am asking?

Answer 15

I do not really have a substantial knowledge of health and working out. But I would look up some workouts that work the same muscles. And if you do the same work out for too long then your muscles will get really used to that work out and you will not get stronger. So I would switch it up after 2 weeks of doing this current work out routine.

Answer 16

well how could i if i powerclean,deadlift, and then clean and jerk the majority of the week like monday-friday for an hour, like how could i workout without overdoing it

Answer 17

could i just like try maxing with it instead of doing it in reps

Answer 18

like thats the point. but yeah its too heavy for me right now

Answer 19

I do not think that would work cx

Answer 20

how?

Answer 21

like the whole point is gaining strength thats why i asked about muscle bars because im not going on steroids......

Answer 22

Well when you max out you are essentially pushing your body to its limit however, when doing reps you are building muscle rather than decreasing your reps and adding weight. That would be counter productive.

Answer 23

well i have to do all of these workouts with 65 lbs + and last time i tried that it pulled a muscle and hurt

Answer 24

http://strengthambassadors.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/power_clean.jpg like what she is doing is what i have to do

Answer 25

Okay, they're are more substantial ways of getting protein that protein bars, however i see the convenience of having protein bars. I would use protein shakes or eat animal protein after working out BUT LEAN meat.

Answer 26

well i cant have protein shakes they are bad for my kidneys and yeah its not like i can bring a steak to school everyday

Answer 27

lol

Answer 28

Hmm.

Answer 29

yeah thats what i am saying

Answer 30

Well you could easily pack chicken breast in your lunch. Which is ample in protein.

Answer 31

chicken breast....?

Answer 32

yeah and my parents arent going to cook that every night and so that would be better than a protein bar?

Answer 33

Yeah chicken breast. And true...

Answer 34

hmmm so then how could i gain strength?

Answer 35

like without having to workout alot?

Answer 36

Well I would switch from every day to 3-4 days a week. Alternating your workout.

Answer 37

hmm well did you see my workout routine above? like thats what i do. so what do i need to exclude to not over do it

Answer 38

if i basically have wieghtlifting everyday

Answer 39

How many reps per set are you doing? as well as how many sets are you doing?

Answer 40

hold on let me look in my book

Answer 41

Okay. cx

Answer 42

tricep ext.~ 5 sets of 10 , lunge~12x8, i cant really remember what else i do for the others its been a week since ive seen the board lol, but yeah idk i go for strength so i do less but i guess high weight low rep like more sets but less rep. idk

Answer 43

and for like power clean,etc. we just do it how many ever times

Answer 44

before we can get it

Answer 45

i dont htink i eat enough calories i think that may be the problem also

Answer 46

like im supposed to have like 2800 + maybe a little more than this due to my weight changing but yeah

Answer 47

Ahh okay.

Answer 48

And for each weight you have to do 65lbs or more?

Answer 49

yepp

Answer 50

well for powerclean,clean jerk, and deadlift

Answer 51

and 65lbs for everything else?

Answer 52

yepp

Answer 53

Okay. I really don't have much experience in this area, so I wouldn't know what you need to do. :/

Answer 54

well i guess eating lean mmeats instead of protein bars could help

Answer 55

wait what are some lean meats besides chicken breast lol?

Answer 56

so can having the lack of running be a way of working out too much? i mean i workout like every other day like 2-3 days most and but i worked out 3 days in a row for an hour should i be even feeling aches of working out too much?

Answer 57

Well there is lean steak, beans i forget which ones. You can get protein from various beans and they are filling as well. :)

Answer 58

i usually get alot of fiber from beans lol

Answer 59

Alright.

Answer 60

idk like canned beans like uhm idk the ones everyone eats

Answer 61

Sorry to repeat myself but i am not good in health. My knowledge isn't overreaching. xD

Answer 62

so i mean should i even be feeling symptoms of "working out too much" yet like i only deadlifted, and all for like 3 days straight for an hour

Answer 63

atleast answer this question ^ if you can

Answer 64

Hmm. You should be feeling soreness but not aching and pains if you are getting that then you are doing something not right too much, or too much in general.

Answer 65

well i assumed i could deadlift 65 lbs. so i jerked it up fast and actually pulled a muscle but it was in my right arm and its my left shoulder aching

Answer 66

like it doesnt hurt it just feels weird like as when you stop working out alot

Answer 67

Ouch, yeah that doesn't sound good.

Answer 68

like idk why it feels like this but i feel weak idk

Answer 69

yeah i feel weak

Answer 70

You should rest for 2-3 days maybe 4 and just don't eat too much.

Answer 71

And eat protein that is how your body will recover.

Answer 72

i have to eat alot but idek how many calories i eat like i just eat big meals and go with my workout and see increasing results

Answer 73

Well you shouldn't eat big meals you should be eating like 3 meals and 2 snacks throughout the day. but before a workout you should not eat but after the workout.

Answer 74

well i am supposed to eat 6-8 meals a day and then eat my protein 30 mins before and 30 mins after

Answer 75

Okay.
