Jm123's Convict Conditioning (out of shape)

[Jm123]

Up your reps friend.Unless you are ill, you are going too easy.Just my 2c.

Thanks for noticing, yes it is slowing down my gains, and I am going awfully easy.

Oh, I know my reps are on the low side, and it is on purpose. I am trying to take it easy and get back into a daily routine. I have neglected my body and need to get my circulation, breathing patterns, and joints back on track. I am going at a pace that is producing results, but not causing any pain or discomfort the next day, just some minor soreness. I use to lift and work out 2-3 hours a day years ago before I married. My muscle memory amazingly is very good and I am gaining extraordinarily quickly. Next, I always have a tendency to dive head first into working out and either burn out or get injured. This must be a lifestyle change and I am approaching this as such.

Since this is the second week of basically prehabing I am noticing a drastic change in my circulation. My muscles are clearing the lactic acid, and not talking to me much the next morning. In addition my joints are starting to smooth out. I have a very large life event coming up, and once done will be increasing my workload substantially in another few weeks.
