All exercise were done with 3 sets of 6-9 reps

2-3 minutes rest between sets

Moderate to slow speed

All sets are recorded to monitor progression

Once i could life a weight for all 3 sets with 8 reps weight was increased

I had no set rest days, they would be included depending on how my body was feeling. Some weeks had 0,1,2 or 3.

Resistance training was always done in the morning workout and cardio in the evening workout

Cardio was done on days when i felt it wouldnt interfere or inhibit with my recovery process, and lead into over-training

Usually 4 times per week

Cardio consisted of approx 1 hour of moderate to low intensity running or cycling. Intensity varied depending on muscle soreness.
