Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 25, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

How much should I work out then. I am aiming for an upper lower split, working out on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Is this too much? I like HIT because it's better for my joints and takes little to no time. I workout at home using basic equipments and a forearm forklift for timed static contractions.

If you always feeling sore with this level of training then it's too much for you(for your age and level of fitness) by definition, which isn't saying much. So if you want to be safe - decrease the pressure for sure, the consistency is way more important than intensity. However if you're a healthy person then pushing things hard will benefit you mentally and as a consequence physically, it can be nothing or it can be absolutely life-changing experience IF you really push for it hard, as a challenge or if you're masochist, or for any other stupid reason.

It all is kind of triviality really, but it seems to me your original question is triviality as well, meaning that any person who wants an actual answer will find the clear answer in 5min of googling, if not from his own common sense. However I can totally simphatize with the urge of seeking support/validation in those kind of interactions. Whatever helps you, brother, we're all gonna make it!

I was just looking for ways of sticking to both my strength training and mma. I really wish to be consistent this time around. Most info on google is pretty clickbaity.
