I am working out 3x a week
day 1- Bench press,upright rows, twists and 1/2 hr cardio
day 3-overhead DB lift, step ups with DBs twists and 1/2 hr cardio
day 5-bicep curl, tricep curl, twists and 1/2 hr cardio

day 2,4,and 6 i do 1/2 hr cardio

the reason for the twists as I am overweight and can not do sit ups or crunches to work abs.

I am doing 5 sets of 6 reps
 
83 views and there isnt anyone saying anything, the reason for my post is I am working out in a gym in a small town and there is no fitness trainer to get me going on my workout, am I doing this right?
 
I am sure someone will come along and provide you some guidance or suggestions. Until then, I would read the stickies about working out and the does/donts
 
Hello!

First off, what are your goals? That's super helpful to know when taking a look at someones routine. But, just from taking a quick look, it seems as though you have a isolation type exercises.

It looks like you could use some "money exercises" such as squats and deadlifts.

Also - "cardio" is rather vague. Can you give some more details??

I'll do my best to help,

Joe
 
I am trying to loose weight, was 388 now 358. goal 260
my cardio is 25 min at varied speeds of 2-3.5 and sometimes i break into a run at 4-5 for a few min pre weights
then my weight training for the day
then 25 min of brisk walk at 3 sometimes getting to 3.5 this is at a 5% incline.
 
yeah you could try it like that, see how it works. Squats and deadlifts should definitely be the first exercise though...they take a lot of mental focus on form, not to mention being very physically taxing.
Lunges aren't easy either but they don't put your lower back in a potentially bad situation if you fatigue mid-rep.
 
My Current training is

Day 1
Front squat 5 reps for 5 sets
Bench press 5 reps for 5 sets
Military press 5 reps for 5 sets
Barbell Curl 5 reps for 5 sets

Day 2
5x 400m sprint 5x 200m sprint to equal 3km

Day 3
Conditioning -
• Double arms swings/w kettle bell
• Burpees
• Squats/w kettle bell
• Pull ups
• Step jumps
• Crunches
• Shoulder press/w kettle bell
• Walking lunges/w kettle bell
• Mountain jumpers
• Push ups

Day 4

5x 400m 5x 200m sprints to equal 3km

Day 5
Deadlift 5 reps for 5 sets
Dumbbell chest press 5 reps for 5 sets
Bent over rows 5 reps for 5 sets
military press 5 reps for 5 sets

Any tips to improve and the conditioning days vary exercises all the time
 
Hi I was reading all your threads and a product that I was introduced about 6 months back came to mind. I have been using the product and then saw it was being used by the "Biggest Loser" contestants behind the scenes to cut more weight and then I saw many other athletes use it such as football players, basketball players, fighters for speed, power and explosion. You needed to cut weight and build more of a cardio routine? I would suggest looking into the Mass Suit. It will help you out tremendously in all your areas it seems like. If you have any questions please reply and I'll tell you my experiences.
