When at the gym, do what you feel like doing!

[RobFunk]

Why is it so important that you follow some rigid schedule? This day chest, this day abs blah blah.


Just do what you want man. Look at Adam Archuleta. This guy follows a program called 'plyometerics'. And works the same muscle group 3 days in a row sometimes. When you cant lift optimally anymore for that session, it doesn't always mean the muscle is spent. It maybe just means YOU are spent.

Get in tune with the machine! That is your own physique.

Watching the ladies and eating ice cream.

I agree 100% with that logic Rob.

Actually I do what isnt really sore on that specific day. Once I got past the beginner and intermediate stage doing the old chest/tri's, back/bi's, legs routine sometimes you get tired of that.

hitting the steam room after a long workout.

It is the boost and can get your stomach super ripped.

Iagree also, let me tell you, i bench pressed every freakin day of my life for years, maybe it wasn't the so called right way to do itm, but i got really strong that way...I would start every workout , with 5 heavy bench press sets times 5 reps, I did this for years...every body is different, and no matter how hard I tried to break from that routine, i would lose strength when i did, so finally I just did that and got really strong.

Most routines now are much less work and much more rest, it never worked for me...back in the primitive 70's the routines were much longer....weightlifters soents 5 hours in the gym, the old Arnod workout routines were very long....now days you see guys saying they workout once a week per body part...they fail to add the list of steroids they're taking.

How exactly does the steam room work? Aren't you just losing water weight that you'll put back on the next day?

Steam and sauna with ice cold shower in between is very good for many things.

Shower for the heart and circulation.
Sauna for the skin and toxin release.

Steam similar to sauna but works on the respitory system. Cleans out the lungs and clears the head.

Always used Ole Bas on sauna rocks for clearing the head. Swedish oil that has 7 or 8 essential oils that clear you out.
When my boys would be sick I would drop a few on the pillow and they would sleep great. Beats the old school remedy of rubbing in with Vicks.

Plyometrics is the act of explosive exercises. Such as jumping off boxes, jumping over cones, throwing a medicine ball.

I changed gyms recently because at my old gym invariably every time I'd go into the bathroom there would be some 60ish, hairy overweight middle management type bending over with his brown eye winking at me. I changed to a gym with a younger demographic and I'm much happier now.

So I guess that's what I *don't* feel like doing--looking at some old dude's cakehole...

My new gym has punching bags and I like to work on out the bags for at least 15 to 20 minutes every time. It gets out a lot of stress and is generally good exercise...

You are confusing plyometrics with weight lifting - like the previous poster stated plometrics are designed to make you faster, quicker, jump higher, etc., - it is not muscle training - other than maybe abs you do not want to lift the same muscles without giving them adequate time to rest and recover - no way in a billion years Archuleta does squats on Monday and then on Tuesday.
