How do you train(workout)?

[EJdm]

back in high school i did a little of everything... bench, back arm, and work out on my wings 4 set of 8...i hate machine weights...i enjoy free weights...should take b4 and after pictures...i did and it was great working out for about 3 years

I keep it simple. I just watch what I eat and cook almost everything myself. Workout three times a week if I can. Usually some free weights and stretching one day, treadmill and cardio another day, and finally do some bowflex stuff on the last day. I just try to stay lean and in shape Bruce Lee style! Dont want to get big really.

muay thai 3-4 times a week

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.

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.

As of January 2010: I stand at 257 pounds when I was 262 at the beginning of December.

I changed my eating habits alot. I started eat about 3 oz. of RAW almonds in the morning, which does alot to curb my appetite.

I snack on baby carrots or some fresh fruit throughout the day, to keep my metabolism rocking.

Usually for lunch, I crush some celery with low-fat peanut butter before a workout.

I'm on week 3 of a Ten-Week Workout plan just to keep my body guessing. And I do H.I.I.T. on my off-days to keep up the cardio.

Afterwords, it's two scoops of whey with a banana, frozen strawberries, and water.

Then for dinner it's chicken with rice and steam veggies.

And then more fruit or almonds/raw cashews if I get a snack attack.

I'm also taking Animal Stax and Cut...with Hyrdoycut in the Morning.

Current Stats:
Bench Max @ 335lbs. and Max Reps @ 225: 16
Squat Max @ 495lbs.

Anyways I usually run 1+ miles, do 100 crunches, 50 pushups, free weights, work out my arms chest back, legs, stomach etc 5 days a week or so.... Im around 190lbs at 6ft and ripped. People think I weight over 210 cuz I look like it lol being bulky from working out.

Prooooooteeeeeeein....haha

fan of Optimum eh? me too, they makes the best supps by far.

I will start back working out tomorrow from a 14 month lay off from the gym. I can't wait to get back in the gym, I live for this shit, literally. My routine is basically the same as most others. I also group biceps/triceps together for the sake of not burning out my triceps doing chest.


Monday: Chest, Abs

Tuesday: Legs, Core Training, 3 miles of cardio (eliptical/treadmill)

Wednesday: Bicep/Tricep, Abs

Thursday: Shoulders/Neck/Traps, Core Training, 3 miles of cardio (eliptical/treadmill)

Friday: Back, Abs

Saturday: Cardio, Core Training

Sunday: Rest


I usually work in the 10 rep range for 6 weeks, take a full week off, then start back training with lighter weight with higher reps of 15-20 for 6 weeks. Repeat the process again but switching days that I previously worked out each body part to a different day to further confuse my body, meanwhile adding different exercises into the mix than the previous 6 week cycle.
