workout buffs - how does your workout rutine look?
 

What is your favorite workout program ?

how many sets, how many reps and which exercises do you use ?

lets hear it here and disguss views on what works best ... :thumbsup

the is the last place to ask. Go to bodybuilding.com

Slow and steady works for me and following a good nutritional meal plan

I am in the middle of a 20 week plan, I see a trainer once a week

The first four/five weeks or so was circuit training. Circuit training is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, I did a ton of resistance ball work and other things, to impove balance, agility, strength all focussing on my core muscles. That gave me the base to move forward..

Then I did 3 weeks of strength training and cardio.. I did full body work outs for an hour, lifting weights, just to improve strength. The cardio I just did for half an hour and then some days I would run for 45 minutes or so.

Now I am into muscle shaping.. One day I do back and chest, Another day I do legs and shoulders and triceps and I do cardio 4 times a week.

It's working for me so far, I love it, and I can tell a complete difference in the way I feel and look.

I despise leg work outs, I don't know why, I did some new stuff today for the legs, I will be dying tomorrow!

I bought a complete free weight set back in February of this year.

It was great to get back into the routines and since then I've lost 25 lbs.

But this summer I fucked my shoulder up and had to get a few cortisone injections directly into the joint. Hurt like hell, but it feels 95% better. So within the last week I've been slowly getting back into it. Keep us updated on your progress

I have a bench and free weights at home that my boyfriend uses, I have yet to actually get into using it at home, I find the only way I work out is actually going to the gym. Maybe once I am done with my whole plan, I can do weights at home and only hit the gym for intense cardio or something.

Good luck with the shoulder!

yea that site is great but some of the webbies i know do a great deal of workout too and i figured with the tons of people here there might be someone who works out and it would be a good topic to disguss..

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/hitworkout.htm <- i was looking at this here exercise but the thing about going to failure every set sort of speaks against everything i have learned about doing a safe workout and not getting injured.. so i figured i would hear what kind of sets etc other people did.

I don't follow any lifting routine. I just do what feels right.

depends on your goals. Going to failure is common amongst the bodybuilding community. I cycle my workout routines throughout the year.

Heavy Cycle:
3 days on 1 day off, 2 days on 1 day off
One body part per day
3 exercises x 3 sets
no more than 6 reps to failure
no cardio

Light Cycle:
5 days on 2 days off
One bodypart per day
4 exercises x 3 sets
12- 15 reps
30-45 minutes of cardio

A good resource would be Gunner :thumbsup
