UGH im sick again for like the 3rd time this winter. :(

I think its a combination of work (someone is always sick and i handle boxes that have germs all over them), overdoing the workouts while lifting at work, and not taking rest days/back off weeks like i know i should.

So ive been thinking about changing my upper/lower split to a full body routine for a while. This would allow me to be more instinctive with my training, which will allow me to take days off when i need them and not miss working body parts in the process. Its also a great way to gain strength, which i need. And as someone pointed out in a post on www. Rosstraining.com it shouldnt leave me as stiff and sore as i have been, so ill be able to perform better at work. :)

This is what im thinking.

3 days per week alternating workout A + B

Workout A
Squats 3 sets
bench press 3 sets
seated rows 3 sets
upright rows 3 sets
zottman curls 3 sets
superset 2 sets:
palm down wrist curls
palm up wrist curls

Workout B
Deadlift 3 sets
Chin Ups 3 sets
Military Press 3 sets
Close Grip bench Press 3 sets
Core Circuit 3 sets:
Chinnies
Supermans
Plank

Reps for everything except Core and Forearms will be in the 5-8 range.

For conditioning ill add finishers, do cardio after work and/or replace my strength workout with a conditioning workout from time to time. It wont be long before its nice enough to ride my bike anyway so im more concerned with adding muscle and strength atm.

Thoughts and/or opinions are appreciated.

Still not feeling 100%, but i felt pretty good after work so i decided to do a workout. Hopefully i dont regret it..lol.

Im debating how im going to fit in my abs and extra forearm work, and since my lower back and forearms got a good workout at work, i just did Zottman curls for 4arms and ill do some core at another time.

Workout A
Squats 3 sets 5,5,6 reps
Bench Press 3 sets 5,4,4 reps
Seated Rows 3 sets 5 reps
Upright Rows 3 sets 6 reps
Zottman Curls 3 sets 8,7,7 reps

Felt good and i could add a few sets, but i want to ease into the extra frequency without overdoing it.

Cardio- 20min jog

Dang! You have some mean SASS in dat @SS, and it makes your feet go real FaSSSSsssssst.

"Saturate yourself" with this SASS in dat @SS it clogs the arteries with undying motivation and spirit.

Believe in yourself:


1. Enhance your confidence to believe in yourself and your decisions. Trust your own mind to think well and cope with the basic challenges that life throws at you.

You are doing well, Wes.

2. Increase your self worth – believe that you are entitled to be happy and to receive the rewards that your deserve for the efforts that you make.

Keep ROCKEN, wes.

And, if you fail in your efforts, you dont have a choice but to get back up if you want it. If you dont, then stay down and you will get a like reward.

Sup.....You have the power of pick em' up........each time.


ROCK ON! :)


Best wishes

You are welcome, you deserve it.

And, you deserve a word of "thanks" for taking the time to assist a lot of the newest members, Wes.

I enjoy helping people improve their health and well being and sharing what little knowledge i have.

A friend of my dad's just had a stroke and after talking to him today (his speach is impared) i thought about how much it must suck to have to go through something like that. If i can help people make fitness a part of their lives and maybe avoid some future problems that would be great.
