i only have 2 nights a week i can lift now. i realise that if i really wanted to get into pling seriously i would have to go atleast twice that, but i really cant.

just looking for any suggestions as to what i can do.

i could however. do some sledding twice a week aswell. just a thought.

Is lifting in the morning out?

How far apart are those nights? That has a big effect on how you're going to want to set this thing up.

Aye I am curious to this as well. WHen I was unable to do night workouts I started getting up EARLY to do them in the morning

The nights will have to be far apart.

Mon/Thurs
Tues/Fri
Wed Sat

Etc.....

If your training day are as such, you can start a training cycle with squat, benchpress and deadlift on both days. I follow a version of the 5x5 training.

About mid way through the cycle, you could squat on one day and bench and deadlift on the other.

i could work out in the morning...but it would be so frantic, there is just not the time. i start work at 7am alot of the time. the gym i go to and most around my area only open at 6

the days are tuesday and friday

If this is a long term arrangement, why not consider getting some weights for a home gym?

nate · 19-Jun-04, 01:06 AM

my mum wont let me. we really dont have the room. once i leave home. for sure i will buy a nice setup.

is 5x5 a good pl set rep set up??

abarlament · 19-Jun-04, 10:16 AM

Sure, 5x5 is a pretty standard setup. Are you going with a full body routine then?

nate · 19-Jun-04, 11:16 AM

yeah, something like
day 1 squats, power cleans, close grip bench, shrugs

day 2 dl's, good mornings, dips, military press.

soemthing like that. that was just me putting in random exercises.

I was poking around Dan John's site, like usual, and I found this nate, I recommend you read it as it's right up your alley: http://danjohn.org/busy.html

nate · 19-Jun-04, 09:57 PM

thanx for that. i really want to do lifts like clean and press, snatch, etc but i cant find anyone to teach me how to do it. and i dont want to injure my self.

i will though. buy a sled.

Make sure you perform power movements first in a workout(cleans or snatches before squats and deadlifts). You should not be fatigued before performing these.
