[ QUOTE ] Well 1.5 hours includes a 5 min light bike warm up. In addition to my warm up sets, I rest about 3-5 min between work sets. These sets are heavy for me. [/ QUOTE ] My sets are heavy for me too... [/ QUOTE ] well typically 5 rep sets deplete more ATP so there needs to be a longer rest period. just ask anyone doing a 5x5 routine how long their workouts take.

Re: The EricW log

3 mins between work sets is pretty normal i see nothing wrong with what ericw is doing [/ QUOTE ] Thats excessively long. I don't think any workout should be longer than 1 hour. If you're doing that much intensity/volume to warrant extended rest periods, you need to cut back.

Re: The EricW log
meh, in my first few weeks of 5x5 (the lighter weeks) I was in and out in 40 min. Now that the sets are heavier because I'm at my peak weeks, 1.5 hours isn't too bad.
Also, I think I'm getting sick again. I was supposed to do RDLs, Squats, and Standing militaries on Sunday but I'm feeling like something is about to hit me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
