How do you train(workout)?

[ATLSRT8]

My current routine is:

One body part a day (except I group bi/tri), core every day (I rotate between obliques abs and lower back), and 20 minutes of cardio to finish it off (usually a stepmill).

Doing chest/tri and back/bi is a such a newb workout; it's a dumb grouping of muscle to workout together.


As for diet......I need to get back one one. I would say 60-70% of your body change is nutrition based and the rest is your workout.

I just started doing basically what you said you see.
Back/bi - monday
Chest/tri - tues
legs/shoulders - weds
then repeat monday and tuesday on thurs/fri, except I mix up the excersises and do more reps with less weight. Abs everyday. Hopefully running everyday when I get in a little better shape, lol.

Why do you say that's a dumb grouping? Just wandering, not trying to say that's the right/wrong way to do things. I've always hear of back/bi and chest/tri as "push and pull" excersises where you're grouping the muscles together that do similar muscle movements while working out.

And damn I can't focus on diet to save my life. Besides quitting all the soft drinks, im hopeless.

Chest exercises use a lot of tricep, so by the time you are done with your chest your tris are fatigued and they wont get a full proper workout as training with a fresh set of tris. Back/Bi works the exact same way.....when you work back your biceps will feel swole bc they are the secondary muscles used in most back exercises.

Makes sense.

Crossfit/cardio in the morning...Cardio I mean intense cardio for 1 hr!
Bodybuild at night.

I'm focusing more on crossfit now though...Anyone care for a xfit challange?

This is about my exact workout including the stepmill. I go hard and heavy everyday alternating between straight sets with forced reps( if im training with a partner) and pyramid going heavier with a drop set at the end of each excersise. As far as supps go, I use syntha-6, green mag, and multi vitamin. No explode for a pre workout and occasionally use a waxy maize starch when bulking. On a side note I hit 470lbs on the barbell bench today which is a PR. I dont use the barbell much, i prefer dumbells. I got more in me once i use some better technique on my 1RM.
