so, im in the final week or so of my workouts the 5's/negs, and they are feeling pretty awesome. Im going to break down my day at the gym for you guys so you can see how my days there are basically structured.
1.run on treadmill for 5-7 mintues (just to get warmed up)
2.Dynamic Stretches geared towards the splits (usually 10-15 mintues)
3. WORKOUT (with the increased rest, seems to be a little longer than 1 hour)
4.PNF stretching (probably about 15-20 minutes)
so I am at the gym now for about 2 hours sometimes longer. Is this totally screwing me up by working out this long? I remember reading that long workouts should be avoided because of Testosterone decreasing past the 1 hour mark, and increased corisol levels. Im I in danger here? I dont mind spending that long in the gym as long as its not counter productive.
and on a side note, i was reading some workout article and in it it was talking about rep ranges and their effects on muscle fibers. I dont remember all the specifics but one thing stood out. It stated that fast twitch fibers can turn into slow twitch fibers, and once this happens, its impossible for them to turn back into fast twitch. Is this true? Its a scary thought thinking its possible to destroy your fast twitch fibers like that.
Thanks everyone
