    Thanks!

    A recommendation: Don't do this much cardio on the program. Allow for rest days. 1-2 days light cardio, yoga, whatever else you enjoy, but don't go overboard.

    Ok, I think I've got it.

    A Petrarchan sonnet includes an octave (eight lines) followed by a sestet (six lines). The rhyme scheme of the octave is typically abbaabba. The sestet has its own rhyme scheme, and there are several acceptable patterns (e.g.cdcdcd, cdecde,).

    The Shakespearean sonnet is composed of four quatrains (of four lines each) and a concluding couplet (two lines). The rhyme scheme is as follows: abab cdcd efef gg.

    It all makes sense now! Thank you.

    cdcdcd is tiresome... I prefer cdecde --- breaks it up, especially after all that abbaabba, Fernando...

    Every Body is different AND changes over time. My schedule only permits weights on Wed. Sat. & Sun. The workout is different every day, but I do at least half an hour of rigorous cardio 6 times a week. I have been "at this" with many different variations since my early twenties and I am now going to be 56 in a few weeks. I recently decided to start going heavy again and I have been increasing the weights EVERY single work-out, and am able to do much more NOW than I was capable of thirty years ago. The point is: over a period of time, you get to know how your body reacts. You are your own best advisor.

    Fact is, you should not be lifting 2 days in a row unless you do heavy isolation lifts(versus compound lifts), which are sort of a fail in themselves...but I digress.

    We're gonna need more workouts.

    I just spent the last three hours scouring the Stronglifts website for the c, d, e, f, and g days.

    Lots of people lift 6-7 days a week.

    They are experienced lifters, though.

    Exactly...people doing StrongLifts, by definition, are not experienced lifters...it is a beginning program.

    It's simple. Here is what your week could look like:


    Week 1

    Mon - Workout A
    Tues - Rest
    Wed - Workout B
    Thurs - Rest
    Fri - Workout A
    Sat - Rest
    Sun - Rest

    Week 2

    Mon - Workout B
    Tues - Rest
    Wed - Workout A
    Thurs - Rest
    Fri - Workout B
    Sat - Rest
    Sun - Rest

    Week 3 would look like week 1. Week 4 would look like week 2, etc.

    ^^This^^ is what I do.

    Yes, you can start on Sunday instead of Monday if you want, and alternate Mon-Wed-Fri with Sun-Tues-Thur and then Sat-Mon-Wed, etc.; but I prefer just taking the weekends off as recover days and then hitting hard again on Monday morning. Plus, Tuesday mornings are trash days, which is at least a half-hour long pain in the *kitten*, and if I can not workout on Tuesday, that's my preference.

    Adequate recovery is critical to making consistent progress and not getting hurt.

    you seem like someone that needs a lot of handholding . You should definitely download Medhi's spreadsheet.
