Post Your Routine!

Course you need lean muscles to __________ (cookie to anyone who guesses the sport) well.

Swim.

Yeah, I guess I'm just used to my routine designed for gaining mass :/

I know for a fact that 80 reps per set is not good at all.

Every weekday I have Weight Training and Conditioning.



Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am up in the weight room, and on Tuesday and Thursday I do abs and back, both lasting about 50 minutes.

Every day when getting home after, I run on the treadmill for 30-45 minutes.

Weekends I lift my own weights and do more jogging/running, but not as much as the weekdays. Mostly my recovery time.

On the days I lift weights, I do a full body workout. I do a lot of weight, but I don't max out on everything with very little reps, I do quite a bit of weight, but a good amount of reps at the same time. But ofcourse you have to find out how much you can max every once and awhile.

Right now I am at 260 pounds benching (1 rep), 65 pound dumbell curl(2 reps, it is the biggest one they have), 125 pounds bar curl (2 reps), 250 pounds butterfly(6 reps, the most weight available on the machine).

Since school started I lost 25 pounds. I am 6'2" and now I am down to 265 pounds. My goal by the end of school was 250 lb, but my ideal weight would preferably be around 225 pounds.

Also, before school started, due to not lifting weights for quite some time, I could only bench about 130 pounds. So so far in half a school year I increased it by double. But I am fat so it is easier for me, as opposed to a skinnier more fit person. Maybe I can hit 300 by the end of the school year?

Funny, why the hell did I picture Zero as a skinny white boy? I like that routine though. I'm pretty heavy too so I know what you mean by "it's easier to lift more weight". Since I'm in martial arts, I always go for more lean muscles. Bulky muscles will ruin your punches while lean muscle will make them faster and harder.

I benched 300 pounds last Friday.

Was my goal before the end of the school year. Now my goal is to get it more than once. :p So in about 3 months I increased my max about 40-50 pounds.

I remember during the first year of weight lifting, I was raising my benchpress max by 5lbs a week during the first 10 months. It's crazy when that happens. I felt like I was a freakin' machine. I was like, if I do this week, I'll be at 180 next week. Then 185 the next. I ended up staying at around 205 for awhile. It's a great feeling, though.

Monday-Friday: Cardio 20-40 minutes, STEAM ROOM: 15 minutes=)

Monday Wednesday Friday: Biceps, Chests, Deltoids, 60 minutes

Tuesdays Thursdays: Back, Triceps, 60 minutes

Saturday & Sunday: Muay Thai, play around lifting, 90 minutes




I don't believe in incorporating ab routines into my workout at this point because I've seen more results just thinning up the layer of fat on your stomach by lessening your diet on fatty foods that contain high sodium and carbs (that you don't work off) and drinking water + cardio. Tada!

'Twas wondering if someone could help me get a workout plan going.

Stats:

6'2 3/4
240/245lbs
Max bench - 230 probably
Curl - 50/55ish
Don't know the rest.

I was thinking about joining a gym, so I could get myself in tip-top shape, but idk what where to start anymore so I come to yous guys for advice. Help is appreciated.

I lost seven pounds immediately after I went to work for Target as an overnight receiver. I guess the trick is to travel up and down a ladder 50 times a night.
