Well, unforeseen events won’t let me finish my experiment any time soon. What a bummer. I injured my shoulder playing indoor soccer a few weeks ago. It was so bad, I couldn’t even lift my arm into position to hold a barbell for squats. So, I had to take a pretty significant break from lifting. Unfortunately, that put my timetable for finishing the experiment well into outdoor soccer season.

That just won’t work for me, as the program I was on had significant leg work three days per week. Doing all of that work combined with 3-4 days of soccer would just equal massive overtraining issues. There’s just a limit to how much stress you can place on your body, especially if you’re looking for significant strength gains. There wouldn’t be enough rest time, and rest time is one of the most important parts of a good lifting regimen.

However, I did start a new routine that I will detail soon. Been doing it less than a week, and I already love it and hate it at the same time.
