I had the same problem with my wrists at the start. It almost got really bad so i cut one hold out of my programm an i just became strong enough to do dips so I did those instead of pushups. I feel dips are way easyer on the wrists. Nowadays my wrists only hurt with very high volume. Yep... usually imbalances and/or overuse. So gotta try to fix the imbalances. But if it's overuse just gotta back off and build up to it. | ||

If you do rack deadlift with a weight you can hold will double overhand, that should have minimal effect on your recovery so you can add it at the end of a non-DL session. | ||

He also wants to do some form of light cardio in conjunction with the fasting days. Honestly I don;t know how I feel about this and feel like this is pretty detrimental to his health overall. But hell if this works then I don't see why more people dont do what he wants to do | ||

His primary goals is to lose some body fat and after attaining his goal (w.e it may be) to stop the fasting and proceed with his normal weight lifting routine to gain muscle He also wants to do some form of light cardio in conjunction with the fasting days.

If he starts to tank in energy with disrupted sleep I would definitely drop the cardio and/or go heavy weights low volume on lifting | ||

Then when he decides to he wants to start weight lifting. He isn't gonna do cardio and lifting and fast all at the same time xD That would be suicidal lol | ||

I'm at 12/6/3 right now, should I try to increase the first set, or work towards getting to 12 across? (And I"m an overweight guy, so it's not a "If you do the same number of reps you're getting stronger" kind of deals) I would say aim for 12 across iI'd say or go for 3x10 and then start with weighted pull-ups, there is not too many benefits shooting for super-high reps if you are not in the military. But if you can do 12 pull-ups you cannot be that much overweight, must be freakishly strong or don't do a full range of motion (not to shit on you, just to mention all possibilities). | ||

Leg press stretching (to help with flexibility in my hips) squats 1 leg lifts deadlifts 3 sets of 10 4th set of 15. My legs...they are sore, and after the stretching thing we did..they were completely numb and gone.  Makes me wonder how good what I"ve been doing has truly been. | ||

Thanks! :D And I'm really hard on myself so my definition of overweight is what most other people call a bit pudgy =P more specifically I guess I should say I'm working on improving body composition as opposed to gaining weight | ||

Something like hypergite or something to reps to lose weight yet build strength and then the last set is like failure but the weight doesn't go down.. my parents are paying for the personal trainer, and It kills and all. but i was progressing on 3 sets of 5 squats, bench, overhead, bent rows.(last 2 roated each workout) so I was only doing the 3 lifts, but i was lifting to my max on the sets and still progressing. I never was sore like I am today. I've gone through this sorness before. I will be sore tomorrow as well and that's fine. I don't understand how doing like 6 exercises/stretches which killed my legs by the end of exercises 2...is going to help me build strength and endurance to lift like that.... It just seems excessive and counter productive. although my body has never been sore sore the next day or two after while doing my SS/SL variation... but I don't think I've peaked yet on weight..I still adding weight every session on my progression. | ||

stick to 3x5 with linear progression like SS or SL if you want to become stronger. | ||
