Eric Cressey's book has some "Energy Workouts" which he advises you to try out on your off days.

Well, I made the mistake of doing some of these on my workout days after my workout (like 6-7 hours after my workout).

I did one energy workout after my Lower 1, and a cardio session of 30-45 minutes post my Upper 1 workout.

My advice: do not do this. It made me extra sore. I then spent the third day just relaxing and eating to end the soreness. It also drained my completely and left me cranky and irritable. This also reminded me of why I hate cardio so much.

Taken home lesson of the day:

If you do not know your WORK CAPACITY LIMITS, do not try experimenting with the extra workouts on your workout days. Stick to the book and do them on your off days.

I know this should've been common sense....but it wasn't. Though, no harm done....just nothing good came out of it.

Cheers,
Wolf.
