I do that...I do SLDL on leg days, and regular Dead Lifts on pull days.

Before I started the push/leg/pull routine, I was doing squats and deads both on the same day...and it was killing me too.

I just thought it was cause I'm a girl....LOL.

I think you work pretty hard in the gym, you don't have to worry about people thinking your a wimp.

Yeah, get yourself a push/pull/legs set-up, GetFit. It will do wonders for you and you won't feel so tired. Plenty of examples hanging around of them here in the logs section for you to consider....

I cant say enough about a push/pull/legs routine.
Thats what I usually do....

M - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
T - Back/Biceps/Legs
W - Off
Th - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
F - Back/Biceps/Legs
S- Off
S - Off

But it's deadlifts on Tuesdays and Squats on Fridays

At the moment I have keyed in on my arms and modified my routine to this....

M - Chest/Triceps
T - Back/Biceps
W - Off
Th - Shoulders/Legs
F - Arms
S- Off
S - Off

Ran this morning 2 miles. Going to be switching to a new push, pull, legs routine tonight. Still not dropping any weight. We'll see how this week goes if I don't lose anything I will post my diet.

PISSED OFF!
Went to the gym thinking I was going to do a light push workout. Struggled to say the least. My head was pounding, chest I had trouble moving 185 around, incline struggled with 135, DB military press could get 50s for 3. I think I need some carbs.

I don't want to hear any I told you so's.

Hopefully, no one will throw the "I told you so" card out there. I saw somewhere where you've only been back in the gym for 6 or 8 weeks or something? It's OK to find something isn't working and make some changes, whether it's diet, routine, whatever.

Hang in there...keep working hard, find whatever the problem is and fix it.

Got 245 today! Its been a long time since I have seen that number, I remember having to work much harder to get it the first time. Not sure what's different.

BP
Bar X 12
135 X 5
155 X 2
185 X 2
205 X 1
225 X 1
245 X 2 + 2 assisted

Not quite sure why all those Weight acclimation sets are necessary but I can't lift as much if I don't do them.

Machine flies
150 X 10 X 3

Standing Military Press
135 X 10 X 3

"Seated" DB Military Press (no back)
50 X 10 X 3

RGBP
135 X 10 X 2
155 X 5
135 X 10

I know I could be doing more exercises, but what I am doing seems to be working. I figure once I start struggling making gains I will through more exercises in until then I guess this is fine.

I am putting my scale away today. I am obsessed with it. I will weigh myself again June 29th.

might take a while to get the blood circulating good into those muscles, to tap into the power. Nothing wrong with a good long warmup.
