dumbell, barbell

OOOOOO.....


I was like, wtf are those... lol

Ok... For the past week and a half, I have actually kept up with my workout schedule! But, it will be getting harder. I am now going to add 30 mins of cardio to each day of exercise that I do. I will also be trying to work out my obliques, do pushups and situps, and some footspeed exercises either every work out day, or every other day. Adding these two things to my work out schedule will give me some much needed cardio work out, which I will lose weight from, and I will get a smaller "tummy" and some trciep/chest workout.


Now... I really want to keep track of this, and all of my other workouts. So... I was thinking that maybe everybody here could post their routines, and the weights they lift for each exerciset they do and stuff.... And then every two weeks-4weeks we can update the list, and see how much we have improved and stuff. Yep! I don't care if you guys don't do this.. But I will, lol. Hey, more posts for me. ;)

hey, if you want more mass dont do cardio unless ur cutting. and dont do cardio 8 hours before or after lifting :)

and my routine is:

1)bis/back
2)chest/tris
3)rest
4)legs
5)shoulders
6)rest
repeat

i like to change my exercises often, cause its not good for the body to adapt or somethin :\

-------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesdays and Sundays, I do everything except for the weights...And most weekends I play a game of football and practice blocking/pass rushing/tackling...

In the last 2-3 weeks I've dropped 5 lbs (but I've gained a lot of muscle), lost an inch off my waist, and feel a lot stronger/healthier/faster...

Whats the best way to work the abs besides doing crunches? or is crunches the best way?

I dunno if you ask me...people have said i have a nice tummy.. but i dont agree.. anyway..... i wanted to ask if doin ab workouts everyday is a good idea or should i just leave it at every other day..

either way is good...whichever you feel more comfortable with

There are some weight machines that are easier than crunches and work better... but it takes forever to target every area.

If you want a 6 pack it is manditory that you go on a diet. Sit ups just help.

YEYE.. my mom always gets discouraged because she does ab workouts every night, but does not do cadrio or diet, which is why her tum tum stays the same. There is muscle under the fat, but you gotta get the fat out for the muscle to show.

oh no.. seriously? I dont wanna go on a stupid diet... how about if i run like 3 miles a day? :D

Holy... I was doing seated calf raises today.... I was lifting 4 45's and a 35! I felt like a TANK! GRRRRRRRR... dont mess around with me, lol.

haha.. thats nuts joeiss , you monster :p .... is there anything wrong wit doin cardio everyday... i went to the gym yesterday ... n i did everything... that im recomended to do.. which is pretty much only upper body.. and today im kinda in the mood to go.. but you guys said that theres no point in workin the same muscle group within 48 hours of your last workout cause your muscles dont recover that fast right? How about if i just do cardio and abs today even tho i did em yesterday?

well... I just got back... ran 4 miles.. woulda been like 5.5 but dad said cmon lets go already and i did an aight ab workout.. i actually feel like i can see the difference right now.. looks real good... but i know it wont look like this tommorow mornin my abs are jus tight right now .. but i like the way they look right now :)

would it be a bad idea tommorow to run another 4ish miles and do some weights also?

EDIT: since i dont want to triple post... whats so good about drinking enough water a day... lately ive been drinking a lot of it .. im just curious as to why its good for you...

Run as much as you want as long as your don't feel nautious (sp?) while doing so.


And as far as water goes... Just remember, it makes up about 72% of your muscles, I think. Don't worry if you don't drink like 8 glasses of water a day, because you get water from lots of stuff you eat.
