OK, so here's a short history lesson
For about a year now I've been doing a few press ups and a few squats of a morning and evening for at least 5 days in a week, sometimes 6 or even 7 but at least 5
And I've been getting to that stage where 20 press ups and 20 squats has been fairly easy to do and im not out of breath
I've also started to use my multi gym in the garage, nothing fancy just a few things when I'm in there doing other stuff
Today I thought I'd have a proper workout and do sets and shit like they tell you to do and so after about 45 minutes of warning up (by tidying stuff up) I got down to business
I did 12 reps for everything, I did bench press first, starring with an indicated 15kgs, then 20, then 25 then 30 and then 35kgs
I attempted 40 but just couldn't shift it so I gave up
Then I worked my way down again to 15kgs where 15 felt like 35
Then I did a set of lat pull downs, started with 20kgs and, again, worked my way up in 5 kg increments until 40kgs and then back down again to 20kgs
All in all it took between 45 minutes to an hour, I didn't time myself so I'm not sure and the breaks between sets was as long as it took to get up, change the weight pin and then sit down again
The question now is that after I'd finished, I was so tired I could hardly stand up, let alone walk back along the garden to the house again, my legs were like jelly even though I didn't "feel" tired, it took about 10 minutes to get up and get indoors
At lunch time I had 2 cheeseburger happy meals and a big Mac because the kids decided that they weren't hungry after all and at around 6 I had 4 chicken fillet things from birds eye along with about 8 or so chicken nuggets and a point of mango juice so I certainty didn't miss a meal so why did I run out of energy?
Had a pint of milk now and my stomach is to full to eat anything else so what do I do to ensure I don't repeat thus tomorrow when its leg day?
Cheers
