That session was only 3x 10 split squats, normal squats and a bit of ab work. With only body weight....
I can't seem to do it. I've tried short and heavy, light and long and I cannot for the life of me do more than 3x 10 with only bodyweight and my training still suffers.
Please help, I'm desperate.
You could try a rather fun experiment. Try taking daily whey protein in the amount: grams = 2 X bodyweight in kilograms. Take it in ~40g doses spread throughout the day. Do that for 2-3 weeks, see what happens. That's a simple, harmless experiment. We all differ in our ability to assimilate protein and turn it into tissue. You'll need an inexpensive gram scale is all. Chocolate flavored whey protein is quite palatable dissolved in plain water. Optimum Nutrition is a reliable brand, readily available online.
