I've been so busy, my workouts have slacked. But when I'm consistent (and I will likely be this week) I alternate a weight day with a stretch/calisthenic day. Usually 2 or so off days, but I'll typically walk or do something light cardio based.
Reverse pyramid training with my right arm, I start with a full bottle and it gradually gets lighter, then I get another full bottle and start again :metal:
I trained my back and chest today. First I did a few sets of benchpress, then incline bench with handweights.
Then I did some pull ups (which felt really heavy today - might have something to do with my crazy weekend), and some back excercises with hand weights.
I haven't been running or working out my legs lately, because I tore my quad when I was out drinking a few weeks ago, but that's getting better (student life is hard). :lol:
I usually just weight train for about 1-1.5 hrs/day 5 days a week. Split my shit up into: Leg day, Arm Day, Chest day, Back/Bis day, and a day with all the alternate shit (Calves, forearms, abs). I just flip the days and orders of the exercises around to keep it interesting. Doing this and consuming a metric fuckton of protein has earned me 11 lbs of muscle since i started keeping track of workouts in a logbook, probably another pound or two more on top of that, from before keeping the log book. First date of the log was 6/6/08, so till now, i'm happy with those results.
I had used a trainer for a little while to make sure i was doing everything right, and exercises done properly (sicne i didnt start working out, ever, till may of this year). Now i usually go with my roommate. Havent missed going 5 days a week since i started. Its fucking awesome. I wish i could go 7 days a week, but my body's all like "I need rest and shit!"
My workout consists of playing tennis. I'm not much of a workout type person. My wrist is starting to heal nicely so once I'm fully healed, I can start playing again.
I think I'll start doing some leg work-outs tomorrow. Squats and quads, and this (don't know what it's called):
h
, and leg curls and stuff. I've kind of neglected that part, because I haven't been able to do any leg stuff during soccer season (it makes the muscles too stiff the next day or so, even if I stretch, so soccer training the next day would probably cause injuries).
yesterday...
Bench Press, 8 sets of 3
Hammer Strength Incline Press, 5 sets of 5
Hammer Strength Chest Flies, 5 sets of 5
Situps on highest incline, 4 sets of 10
Chinups, 30 altogether
