lactic acid

[bill90]

So i started my new routine and today i hit
incline bb bench 3 heavy sets
2 heavy pullover sets and 2 light on a bouncy ball whatever there called
decline db 3 heavy sets
dips 3 sets
skull crushers 3 heavy sets
tricep pushdown (coudln't resist but did em heavy but also did a dropset)
followed by 20 min hiit

i felt like i had a good workout but not nearly like I achieved with my other routine where i was doing a lot of volume, circuit training, supersets and dropsets. I think this is because I didn't have as much of a lactic acid build up which I know doesn't mean anything. Just wondering if sticking to the less is more is the right way to go or hitting it harder cuz i know my body responds well to it. thnx for the input in advance guys

Well you don't give a lot of detail as to what exactly you are doing with each exercise, but the only way to know for sure is to follow the program and track progress. What the Hell do you care if some Internet chair jockey tells you your program sucks if you are seeing good progress?

Unfortunately, judging the effectiveness of a program takes time and appropriate measurements/markers for success. You can't just base it on how you felt once the workout finishes.

Oh, and by the way, lactic acid buildup is NOT what leads to the burning sensation. It is most likely a buildup of hydrogen ions which irritate the nerve endings in the muscle; or at least that is the most likely theory right now.

Cowpimp is spot on. If you enjoy the program, follow it through and track your progress.

to be more specific
i did incline bb bench 135x12, 145x8, 150x6
pullovers, 40x10, 45x8 and light stability 25x10, 30x6
decline db 50x12, 60x8, 70x6
dips bwx8, x7, x7
skullcrushers 40pds+barx8, x7, x5 last set supersetted with close grip press with same weight
didn't really look at the tricep exsastension weight but 3 sets of 6 with 3rd set followed by a double drop set.

Like I said I did feel like I got a good workout but I usually would do a lot more dropsets and supersets balls to the wall so i'm out of breath and can't do another rep. Thnx for responding and I c what u guys are saying who cares what someone else thinks, but i'm just trying to shock my body and switch things up. do you think this workout would be a good way to do that as i like to chart my progress and stick with it for a little while. btw the rest of my routine looks like this.
