No. Read it again.

I asked whether I would get as much out of the workout.

If the added weight is too much, I may not be able to perform FROM. If it is too little then stimulation will be less,...

Is it then acceptable to substitute Lying Leg Curl with Seated Leg Curl?

If I cannot get all 32 reps, say only 28-30, will I still be working out as hard? I will be doing less, or will the strain...

For the Friday workout I did Seated Leg Curls again, as my gym does not have a machine to do Lying Leg Curls.

Is there a substitute exercise for LLC?

Additionally, on squat I do the 32 reps (4...

Currently I do cardio 3x a week on the rowing machine, at a steady, consistent pace, on the highest difficulty setting.

This is for around 30 minutes, or until I have burned 300 calories...

Cheers for the information.

Personally, 30 minutes of cardio does not seem excessive or damaging, and appears to be the acceptable amount alongside weight lifting.

What I am unsure of is...

I am definitely pushing myself, but when losing weight I did a lot of endurance exercise, including when weight lifting. As a result, I can currently recover fairly quickly between sets.

Also,...

It would be helpful if I knew the reasons why.

For example, I did not feel over-fatigued from squats, and so what is detrimental to the program if Leg Press (a very similar movement) is swapped...

Today, I did the Wednesday workout of the 3x a week Viking program, and have some questions.

1). Instead of Leg Press, I repeated squats (same setup as the Mon/Fri workouts). Is this acceptable,...

Today, I started the Viking 3x a week program, and it went perfectly.

It worked me out thoroughly enough, and I was able to control weight better, which produced a far more distinct contraction.

Despite having reduced the amount of exercise I do, I have noticed a recent increase in hunger.

This might be as a result of upping weight for strength progression, or from only having just...

Okay. So should I go ahead and increase my calories on non-weight lifting days from 2600 to 2700, which would mean 2700 every day?

Cheers for the advice.

I am gradually finding a balance between exercise and calories for what I need to make adequate gains.

For my weights workout, should I reduce extra exercises, like those...

Until now I have done that amount of cardio to be able to consume more calories.

However, as I aim to bulk I would like advice on how my overall exercise routine can be better.

This is in case,...

Thank you for the advice.

Regarding my weights workout, do you think I am doing more exercises than I need, or just too many sets/reps?

Currently, I am not knowingly in a surplus, but have just increased calories by 100 when I begin to struggle.

However, my weight has not gone up while being on 2700/2600 calories, and so I assume...

2700 calories on training days, and 2600 on the others (including my off day). I am thinking of increasing calories on these 4 days to 2700 (then being on 2700 calories every day), and see if that is...

I'm 5'10, 137lbs, and am on 2700 calories on training days (Mon/Wed/Fri) with 2600 on the others (including my off day). I think I might increase calories on these 4 days to 2700, and see if that is...
