We did this kind of stuff in Orangetheory. At first, I had trouble with things like V-ups, and it took a while for me to get the hang of balancing myself and even more time before I could do them properly more than a handful of times. Makes my stomach cringe just thinking about those core workouts. |

And I'm pretty big about that now... not ego lifting and having other muscles take over, but doing what works specific for the targeted muscles. I did like the core routine and fist pumped the first time I got through all of it including the bonus at the end. |

Lol, when I was in HS I once decided to do some ridiculous number of curls. Maybe it was hundreds. Couldn't straighten my arms for a week, lol. On the same page as you now. I focus on strict form/mechanics, don't hero lift, try to reach failure efficiently and then push to do the work I feel I need to get done, then move on to the next exercise. Used to average 20+ sets per muscle group, 6-8 sometimes even more exercises, and never felt like I was progressing the way I wanted. Now I average 9-12 sets total and 4 or 5 exercises per muscle group, and seeing real results/growth basically every month or so. |
