if something does not give me the results I want, I'll change it. In this case, lifting decreased my performance and I already explained above why. Ever since I have not done any lifting since june 7th when spring semester ended, my running speed and throwing power came back a week or so later.
Also, the spring semester was the first time I actually stuck to a weightraining program without changing it. The first 8 weeks I had a schedule and the last 8 weeks I changed up the exercises for each movement; however, the last couple of weeks of the last 8 weeks of the semester I lost interest in lifting and was doing it whenever I was in the mood and it was only when I had nothing to do with a big gap between classes. The reason was because of my results. Then after the semester was over, I stopped lifting all together. I have weights and such at home and I can start back up at anytime, but it will be when I know for sure about the recovery and such, which I am still waiting for answers.
Lifting is suppose to increase performance, not decrease it! If I start lifting again, it would probably be before work at around 6am in the morning, and it would be a split between lower body and upper body. This is because I don't want to wake up too early to lift for an hour and I would only like 30 minutes of my time to do so before I go to work. I want to know if this is okay to lift at this early in the morning? I have read when searching at google and bill hartmans post I linked that a majority of schools lift at 6am in the morning. I dont know if they do it on the same day as practice or games though.
