@thankgod My Garmin watch measures my HRV and gives me indications of overtraining. I found it very useful although I can feel it when I over trained too. But having the validity of my HRV is helpful. It also gives me information for when I can push my workouts harder etc.

@jacksonjogu Different muscle groups respond better to higher reps and other sto higher weights. For example, biceps respond better to lower weight and higher reps.

@itrm Thabk you. I appreciate that. I need the Cardio for losing fat and heart health. Currently at 20% body fat. Ya leg day was brutal, next day was very sore... I will lighten the load a bit that day.

@amn Although I have worked out my whole life, I never really followed a routine like this. I find it very efficient to have a routine at the gym where all exercises are pre planned. I wanted to get feedback about it and make the necessary adjustments. I track my workout (exercise, reps, sets...

@joyfam Thank you. I'll have toook into that. Right now, my back has high muscle quality than my chest/abs. So I wanted to kind of address that imbalance. Thoughts on that? Should I still add more back to my workout?

@judge2 Ah, I appreciate that. Adding an extra set is easy and sounds like it's effective! I actually like running. I need the stamina
