To the gym people of q3w
Been awhile since I've seen someone do an old fashioned 'push-pull' workout.
I'm currently doing a split like this:
Day 1 - Back/biceps/traps/rear delts - 15 - 20 mins of cardio as well - low intensity
Day 2 - Chest/triceps
Day 3 - Cardio - 30 minutes of running, low to high intensity, abs here as well
Day 4 - Legs
Day 5 - Cardio - 30 minutes of whatever (sometimes I do 10 mins of treadmill running, 10 mins of stairmaster, 10 mins of the bike just to stave off boredom). Abs too.
Day 6 - Off
Cycle repeats, or another day off.
This is not a cycle for mass building, btw, so if you want to gain weight, don't do it. No direct front delt work in there because I can't do military presses anymore - they get enough work with the benching.
As for my best workouts - been a long time since I've lifted anything mentionable.

how come you can't do them now? and to your last comment on my push pull workout. i beleive that training now days has got to much science in it.tnf wrote:It is depressing, though, to look at the 125 lb dumbells and realize that I used to be able to press them. If I tried that now, I'd need two spotters per arm.
heh
you see all these personal trainers picking up shit like the sit on ball to train ur abbs while u db press etc. load of bollox!
back to basics, hard work, And just eat well. That imo is the secret
What is depressing is when you are 6'6", 230lbs and your workout buddy is 5' 150lbs and he typically lifts 50lbs more than you per exercise. There are only two exercises where we do the same weight but I don't know what they are called.tnf wrote:It is depressing, though, to look at the 125 lb dumbells and realize that I used to be able to press them.

its not the what you lift, Its how you lift it. just make sure u make every rep count. and if needs be put the lvl of weight down some. if you try to hard to lift what your friend is your prob going to pull a muscle or worse.bitWISE wrote:What is depressing is when you are 6'6", 230lbs and your workout buddy is 5' 150lbs and he typically lifts 50lbs more than you per exercise.

Deadlifts.
Nobody deadlifts anymore.
As for 'too much science' - it isn't that. It is people wanting to manage their training such that they can hit more muscle groups in fewer exercises to stay in better overall shape in less time.
As for why I can't do 125 lb dumbell presses anymore...there is a long story that has already been told that involved me having to get a metal plate and screws put in my neck, and having residual nerve damage that impacts my left tricep. I've got no need to train heavy anymore. It's been almost 3 years since my surgery, and I've been training only sporadically since then. I'm getting back into the swing of things now, but my emphasis is on overall conditioning now rather than trying to lift a specific amount - hence the cardio.
