A second opinion would be appriciated on this.
My trainer is making me do this stupid circuit, which we do every now and again, like once every 2-3 weeks. I hired the guy to bulk up.
I'm getting a but peed off that he's making me do this thing almost every week. I've lost 5 pounds of muscle in November, yet October showed quality gains. Nothings changed regarding the diet plan. The only thing I can think thats different is this stupid workout that I hate, with passion. It seems to me its more like a cardio session and to gain a bit of strengh. It pushes me that hard that a couple of times we've had to cut it short as I ran off to the bathroom to be sick.
What the **** is this thing suppose to do? He normaly replaces a leg session with this, but this just makes me feel drained all over with my clothes drenched in sweat, rather than pumped.
All of this is using kettle weights, 16kg:
3 supersets of:
10 step ups each leg (holding two 16kgs)
10 squats (holding two 16kgs)
15 pressups
3 supersets of:
15 step up jumpy things while holding a kettle bell (like a step up but with a jump and knee is raised above 90 degrees on oposite leg)
10 clean and press (singles)
10 clean and squat (singles)
3 supersets of:
Walking lunges holding vipor above head (hollow tube that weights 12kb)
15 Pressups on the vipor
10 sholder presses on vipor
Workout lasts about 50-60mins. When failure is reached I don't move on until the number of reps are completed.
I can see this would be good for someone wanting to shred off some fat, but whats the purpose here?
He thinks the lost of muscle could be from not enough rest (not like in rest days, but as in staying up late at the weekends), also he's increasing my calorie intake although I don't think I could eat anymore than what I am now.
