Adjustment Update:
Due to the replies, I took the advice and made adjustments...
I increased the weight of my compound workouts. I also adjusted my diet and added some fruits and vegetables, mainly stuff I saw on
@RazorRambo24 post on nutrition.
Tuesday Workout (4/17/23)
5 reps of Bench Press (5 sets total),
125lb x 5, 3 sets
135lb x 3, 1 set
135lb x 3, 1 set
5 reps of Squats (5 sets total)
155lb x 5, 3 sets
175lb x 3, 1 set
175lb x 2, 1 set
I took 30-45 seconds breaks per set. Prior bench press was 105lb and 135lb on squats. I felt when bench pressing 135lb, I did not feel much tension in my body compared to the lower weight sets. If I had to take guess I was ego-lifting? Thoughts?
My diet for today (4/19/2023)
Protein Oats (25g)
2 boiled eggs (12g)
Ground turkey (40g)
Apple x3
Shrimp w/ Pasta (30g)
Protein Bar (15g) x2
Chicken W/ Green Peas (50g)
I see the error in this list...lack of carbohydrates. I plan to add some brown rice/pasta/sweet potato with my morning protein.
