I currently do CNS and have my CN around Fridays or Saturdays depending on which one benefits my social schedule better. When I first adapted this program I was just looking for something to not feel lazy and hopefully work to something bigger. Well now I wouldn’t mind building muscle and hopefully have said muscle make me look good but I am unfortunately currently limited to dumbbells only (there is a bowflex machine too but I tend to stay away from it). Hopefully in the next month or so I will be able to get a membership at a gym that just opened up here locally and have more options available to me.So the point of my post. Is there anything I should currently change or should I try adding supersets? Also, what are the best recommended workouts when it’s not just limited to dumbbells? (So I have an idea for when I get that membership)P.S. I attempt to increase my weight on my lifts after 4 weeks of being able to complete the exercise without much strain. Thanks,

    Should I workout 5 days a week and rest on the weekends?

    How about four days a week with, like, Wednesday off?  I've noticed if I hit it harder than 70% I tend to stall my weight loss.  Save the heavier, serious muscle building for CBL.  ?

    +1  I workout 4 days/week just because I'm doing shockwave which was written to go with CN.  I do most of my workouts the few days after CN and a workout ON CN.  I'm headed to Wendler's 5/3/1 in a couple weeks and even though I WANT to still lift 4x/week, it may be a bit much on the stress side of things until I'm off of work for the summer.

    Yea once I am able to get this Gym membership I may look into shockwave and see if it is right for me. I haven’t changed my current schedule yet except just adding more weight because it just seems that my current workout schedule works right for my wife and I.
