Daily Workouts

[LineTamer+]

Just interested to see what everyone does, how they combine body parts, if the do total body workouts etc.

Right now I do the following:
Monday: Chest and tris, Abs, Cardio
Tuesday: BAck and bis
Wedsday: Abs, Calves, cardio
Thursday: Hams Quads Shoulders
Friday: Flat Bench (only), abs, Cardio

Usually do 3-4 exercises for each body part with 4 sets at around 12-10-8-8 (6).

I am looking into cutting this down to 3 days a week, and considering a total body workout.

My current goal now is just to cut up and stay in shape, not really into adding any mass.

any thoughts, comments.......thanks Tamer

I always hear that ...'Not wanting to bulk up" "Just want to be toned"

My daily workouts are not for the faint of heart, and I admit I overtrain to death...

Sometimes i will train the same body part for 60-90 days straight, just to get stronger, you have to find what works for you....less is more has never worked for me.

I'm more into strength training , bodybuilding as an art has never interested me...

I like pizza too much lol!

biking and swimming mixed with weights, keep it fun and always try to improve...

In the summer I workout much more for look then the rest of the yr....meaning i will do a whole lot more sets, to get that pumped up look...winter time I will break it down

Summer biceps routine 50lb DBs curls alternating up to 50 reps...just 5 sets...that is all I need.

Bench Press I have cut way back on poundages...saving my joints , never go above 250 anymore, usually stay in the 225 range for reps, incline and flat bench

Dips are still a great exercise, everone should do them

Single Arm Tri-Ext...the best triceps exercise hands down.

I'm Older than you guys, but here is my "routine"

3-4 days a week 45 min of total body weight training alternating core,chest,arms and leg excersises every other day. Follow each 45 min weight session with 15-25 min cardio on a upright computerized eliptical then 10 minutes of stretching.

If I can get the 5th day in it's all cardio for 45 min.

Trying to keep in this an lose some weight. I got out of it last winter for a lot of reasons.

3-4 days a week.. at the Gym..20 mins on Oliptical or Treadmill...THEN while your body is still burning calories from the cardio...I do 4 reps of situps on the exercise ball and then do light weights depending on how I feel

may do a Mtn Bike ride in lieu of the gym on some days to put some variety into it

Just a brief version

Week 1
Mon - Chest, Tri, Bi, Shoulders Effort=80% , medium rep medium weight
Tue - All legs, back and abs Effort=60%, High rep low weight
Wed - off
Thur - Chest, Tri, Bi, Shoulders Effort = 60 % High rep low weight
Fri - All legs, back and abs 80% medium rep medium weight

week 2
Mon - Chest, Tri, Bi, Shoulders Effort=100% balls out this is where I shoot for new highs, High weight max reps
Tue - All legs, back and abs Effort=60% High rep, low weight
Wed - off
Thur - Chest, Tri, Bi, Shoulders Effort = 60 % High rep low weight, having a 60% day before a 100% day for legs is important to me I will be full charged
Fri - All legs, back and abs - 100% balls out High weight max reps

next week start over

For maximum muscle building and maximum fat burning you need to reverse your work out.

Weights first and THEN cardio.

I'm in the same boat. Good thing about coming back after a lot of time off, you make gains everywhere on all your excercises very quickly so it's easier to stay motivated.
