Current routine - Seem to recovery in upper body, but?
I have been working an Upper/Lower split for basic beginner strength training with upper Mon and Fri., and lower on Wed. every week. Recovery and joints seem to be doing fine on the upper days doing in order: Pike presses, Inverted Rows, Push ups, Negative Pull ups, Dips, Negative Chins, Leg Raises, and Front Planks 2-3 x 60 secs, all (except planks) 2-3 work sets each for 6-10 reps. On Wednesday: Bodyweight heels touching Full Squats 2-3 x 20 reps, Back Arches 2 sets x 15 secs x 3-4 reps, Reverse Hypers 2 sets 15 reps; and Side Planks 2-3 sets x 60 secs. I am just worried that lower body will suffer with only one day a week. I am concentrating more on upper body strength prior to starting skills work. Due to family, work, etc., 3 days a week is the max for strength/skills work. Tried full body work 3xweek before but too much volume for me (and my joints).
