Maybe you should go monday and thursday, or split up your days somehow. Leg press doing 80lbs, and you found it difficult? You'll have to do a bit of focusing on legs. That's only half of your bodyweight.. I don't do that much warmup, 5 mins at 3.5mph at 0% incline. I don't like to waste my energy before getting to the real work. Even with 5 mins of walking I find that if I skip my walk I'm slightly stronger during my workout. That's just me though. I'm respecialtarded. I think "cooldown" is bullshit. You don't get "cool" by doing work. For "cooldown" I'd say go at 'er, do 10 mins of HARD cardio. As soon as you stop and get to the car eat a nanner. Then when you go home have some protein. The nanner will replenish your glycogen stores and take away the dizzyness of the exersion, the protein will immediately start repairing your muscles. You are going to do all that 3 days a week?
