Many posts ago, I mentioned my current workout routine. Although I've made some slight modifications, the goal is still gaining strength on usually one exercise per day. I cheat on that last one as I have a greater supply of energy. Last night I did 5 sets of bench press, with 6 repetitions for each set. The day before I did pull ups and t-bar deadlifts. The day before that... air squats, leg extensions and kettblebell swings.
My goal is to do one exercise per day and hit it hard, but as my strength increases I don't mind adding other movements here and there. The one exercise per day rule is just my minimum. But it's an effective minimum, I think. There's really nothing like lifting heavy weights. Since I've been on this strength training kick, I've noticed that my sleep is much deeper and I generally feel more mellow. I suppose that's because weight lifting burns through some kind of stress hormone and evens you out. Then again, I'm a college dropout, not an expert on exercise science.
