Your workout routine

[clubbin714]

I thought that maybe we could all post our routines so that we could not only draw on examples from each other, but to show the abundance of "newbies" (not meant derogatorily) to lifting the kind of workouts we really like, perform, and gain from. I'll kick things off:

I train Jiu-Jitsu 4 days per week (for about 1.5 hours, that includes about 6 X [3 minute ab workout with medicine ball], for a sum of 18 minutes), and lift usually 2-3 times per week. I'm certainly no expert on lifting, but here's what I do:

The last couple of weeks I've been going back to Olympic lifts (which I like a lot, I'm going to be phasing them in much more).

One sample workout might be (not counting warm-up sets):
4x6 dead lifts
5 sets dips
4x8 standing overhead dumbbell press
4x6 palm-in, close-grip lat pull-downs

Another weight workout might be:
4x6 squats
5x5 cable rows
5x6 bench press
3 sets of handstand pushups

I allow myself a lot of flexibility in my routine. If I need a day off, or I can't train, then I just skip a day and try to pick up where I left off. I hope to start road work (about 2-3 miles combined run/sprint per day) shortly.

How about the rest of you?

I can't do any form of martial arts because of my knee. So I stick to lifting weights and riding my stationary bike.

For lifting, I lift 4-5 times a week depending on my schedule. Sometimes you just are to tired to lift..I have a setup in my garage, olympic weight bench and weights. I do bench press, military presses, bicep curls and work my triceps. I ride the bike 3-4 times a week.

I do 300 situps everyday also. Have a long way to go in that area. 8)

My work out routine includes stretching in the morning as I get out of bed.

Moving around the day.

Yawning before I go to sleep.

Chasing the bus every morning...

Besides, who needs a workout routine when you have insomnia keeping you nice and healthy.

[Anonymouse]

I would recommend you gargle with some alcohol to cure the insomnia, or just call me 8)

The best way to get the abs is to not eat junk. Low carbs and low fat. You can do sit ups until you're blue in the face, it won't work without changing your eating habbits.

I know that. The meaning of "I have a long way to go" is I just started again recently, you can't expect results overnight.

yeah Emil
that's Omni... what else is new..
he's got a "fixed up" body, he's thinkin he's perfect in every aspects of life!
I wish there were bullets to kill someone's ego...

when it comes to me... I run at least 3 miles a day about 5-6 times a week... along with some sit-ups, leg lifts and butt exercises... I don't really lift... I'm afraid lifting makes a girl's body like Serena Williams'...
I refuse to have a body like that!
