Learning from others

Friday I was at the gym and I overheard some guy talking to his workout buddy about working certain muscle types on consecutive days. Curious to learn more, I got the first guy's attention and we had a conversation that was broken up by us doing some sets of our respective workouts.

The guy told me that running everyday and doing leg exercises wasn't ever giving my legs a chance to heal or grow. And that some chest exercises use your arm muscles, just like some back exercises do; so it's good to do them on non consecutive days so that your arms have a chance to repair themselves. I worked on a new workout routine based on what muscle groups this guys does and am excited to try it out today. The workout plan includes taking off Wednesday (I might just go to the gym to sit in the hot tub, that would be relaxing).

He also told me that running and gaining weight are goals on opposite sides of the spectrum and that I can't get tone without first getting bigger (because I don't have any fat to lose). He suggested I drink 3 protein drinks a day, which I will work on.

I'm really hoping to see an increase in weight by the end of the month. Maybe 5 lbs would be nice.
