Too much weight lifting bad for you?
Question by Ty: Too much weight lifting bad for you?
So… I kinda feel really lazy lately so I thought I might as well try and exercise a bit 😀
I got this elastic rope that is supposed to be like lifting small weights. You step on it and pull up, pretty simple. Anyways I get frequent breaks maybe like 2 – 3 min. During these breaks would it be ok to exercise with the rope? I can’t see the total time of these exercises going past 1 hour a day (collectivley). Would that be ok? I always heard about working too much and stuff so I was just wondering… If not what would be a good way to sorta exercise/build muscle in 2 – 3 min breaks? By the way I’m standing during the breaks so I could do pushups and stuff if that is better. Sorry, I’m new to the whole exercising thing, thanks 😀

If you are lifting so much weight that you fail on reps 6-8 then you should do no more than one set (plus the warm up set) and only work that body part once, maybe twice per week but no more than that.
Give those muscles two days to recover before working them again. Also, be sure to take your glucosomine, eat plenty of green veggies and you should be okay
