I'm actually really enjoying the beginner workout A posted. I have never seemed to train as intense doing relatively low volume workouts that call for 2-3 exercises 3 sets per exercise. I have always seemed to be more intense and feeling pumped taking 1 set to it's absolute limit and then maybe doing a drop set of 10-20% less on a second set of I feel I need it.
Just like everyone else along with things like injuries, tennis elbow, and patellafemoral pain, I lost motivation due to covid and all the gyms shutting down and opening up and shutting down and finally opening back up for almost six months now.
I had a couple questions just to make sure I'm doing things right. What rest times would be recommended before work sets? For the work sets that have no warm-up, do we treat them as supersets and start doing them as we are set up or there should be something like 30 seconds-1 minute rest before doing that work set?
Also because I'm far from where I used to be in strength and muscle mass was pretty poor at my best, is it recommended that I just lift followinf the cadence or the goal should always be to master mind-muscle connection in every rep, contracting as hard as possible?
Finally, being that this workout is low volume and that I'm a beginner in poundages, I probably have nowhere near the intensity of advanced bodybuilders. Should I do another set if I feel I didn't go all-out despite complete positive failure?
Thanks to anyone who replies. Have a good one, everybody.
