Hey guys, I'm hoping to pick up some weight training soon. I'm hoping to put on perhaps 5-10kg of mostly lean mass before changing my focus from hypertrophy to strength. My conditions are that I weight train no more than twice per week, and that I avoid going to failure as I love my central nervous system a little too much. I'll likely be practicing Muay Thai twice a week and doing something a little less stressful like Yoga twice a week too. Day 1 - Weights Day 2 - Yoga Day 3 - Muay Thai Day 4 - Weights Day 5 - Yoga Day 6 - Muay Thai Day 7 - Rest Something like that. For the weights sessions I want to focus on the useful compound lifts (Squats, Deadlifts, Pullups, Dips, Bench & Mil. presses) but I am unsure of sets, reps, and effort in order to meet my criteria of hypertrophy whilst avoiding the punishment to my CNS. Comments welcome Jack
Yoga can be done everyday. A Two-Day-Per-Week Hypertrophy Adventure! Any reason for limiting your skills training (MT) to 2x per week?
Will do, TheMachine Thanks for the link, Crimson. Reason for limiting training to 2x a week is that I have a very busy lifestyle, other interests etc. all of which require time, which is a limited asset at the moment. Be well
