why the hell are you doing upward reps, decrease the weight as you go along reps. Also yes, I would quit the supplements like Whey if you feel that's affecting your body - try having a banana and an apple before working out.

It's designed to increase your strength. I thought it was stupid at first, but within 2-3 weeks my strength has increased a lot faster than what I was initially doing. Added an extra 10kg on almost all my compound exercises.
Thank you all for the advice
I do upwards reps for some of my exercises and I feel totally fine with it. Certainly wouldn't say it's a bad thing to do.
My workout consists of, usually, 5 - 10 mins warm up on each of the muscle groups i am going to be working on. Going around each area with an easy set of weights to begin with. After i have done this i will go round again and start my workout.
12 reps of a weight i know i can manage.
Another 12 really pushing myself.
Then the final 12 is another manageable weight.
This works for me but everyone is different. I will add i am not going for bulk as i don't feel it lasts unless you are strictly maintaining it. I am going for a stable core with a good build.
Hope this helped you out.
Hi, apologies for the delay in response.
I dont find that whey is great for giving me an energy boost. Milk based proteins rarely are, they tend to cause lethargy and your body has to put into a lot of work processing the valuable nutrients.
Also, not everyone recommends this, but I think nothing is more worthwhile than a 'taper' week. Whether it be once every 4-8 weeks, but sometimes I need a week of easy working out just to recover and gain more of that energy that helps me squeeze out a final set. There is no exact science behind this, I just think it works for me.
If you cba changing anything in your routine, I would recommend coffee before a workout and BCAA's with an energy drink during. That always helps boost energy.
