    Question, how long does a typical workout take you doing all these lifts?

    I ask bc if you plan on lifting with any type of intensity that's an awful lot of work to be done. Have you considered doing more with less?

    so less workouts with more sets? I started with 3 workouts per muscle group doing 3 sets and 10 reps and it just didn't feel like I was getting anything out of it, even if I upped the weight. I dont get it at all. I just started this workout 2 weeks ago and I feel it more but from what I know it is a lot of workouts

    I meant less exercises per day. Possibly something like begin each day with 1-2 big compound lifts that target the specific area. Squats deads, press, bench, cleans, rows, etc. I'd do these for 3-5sets for anything from 1-8reps. After that, choose a couple of ancillary/assistance lifts, isolation lifts, etc that specifically help drive progress in the main lifts while also targeting your weak points.

    On Wednesday for example you have 13 different exercise to do. 3 sets of each each that's 39 sets and 130 reps.... That's just too much for most people. The reason you feel this workout isn't necessarily bc it's any better than the last. It's more likely due to it being a new workout so you stress your body differently. Being unadapted to the new program will make you feel like that.
