Hey fellow lifters,iv been checking out heaps of journals in here & they make very interesting reading. So now its nearly a new year i thought id put pen to paper & keep track of my workouts. Im 37 years old & 171cm ,im weighing in at 77kg at the moment. my goals for 2010 is to get to 85 kgs and be very lean,in the past i have gained weight when bulking up but always gives me a bit of a belly. :lol: ,then after loosing the gut & toning up i dont seem to gain much weight. :huh: I guess i need a bit of help with my training & diet. :pray: Iv been serious about training for about 6 years now,had a bit of equipment set up in my shed for a while,(infinity3-workout machine,flat bench press with bars & dumbells,shed decked out in mirrors :grin: )but shed has got a bit over run with alsorts now,after i joined the gym about 7 months ago....

I use to work out three times a week ,doing full body each time.

SHED ROUTINE

squats x 3 sets

calf raisers x 3

leg exstensions x 3

leg curls x 3

bench press x 4

bar dips x 3 x 12

db triceps x 3

db biceps x 3

cable pull downs (sholders) x 3

pec fold in machine x 3

cable rows (back) x 3

bb bent rows x 3

bb forearm rolls x 3

This was a good cardio workout at the same time aswell,timing myself,do it just over 1 hour on a good day. :nod:

Then started at the gym & got a three day split,has been good, but 1 week till next time on chest for eg. takes to long to come back round...

THIS IS GYM WORKOUT

Monday wednesday friday

4min bike(warm up) 4 min bike 4 min bike

squats x4 flat bench press x 5 pull ups x 3

leg ext x 4 incline bench x4 ironcross(sholders)x4

leg curl x 4 incline weighted sit up x3.backwork,ss roman chair4

adducter x 4 decline bench press x 4 seated back row mac ww 4

hip flex x 3 cable biceps x 4 sholder front raise x 4

cable triceps,ss,bench dips4.hammercurlx3of4weights.bentova flys x 4

calf raises x 5 shrugs

thats my gym workout that iv been doing up till 23.12.09,but i dont really get that full on pump that i use to doing shed workouts,so iv made myself a new programme that il be starting on 5.01.10,im not sure if i can fit it all in 2hours yet but li try it & just change things if needed. :shifty:

Good stuff, but think you are trying too hard.Doing all that in one workout!

2 hours pumping weights is too long (according to popular consensus)

Oh that sucks, huh! Had that happen late last year riiight in the middle of a heavy deadlift session! :doh: Had finished my last set of warmups, was preparing for the first heavy set and then... bang, fire alarm! Stood outside cooling off and wasting the warmups I did for about 10mins... just interrupts the flow of the workout eh?

Your workouts seem a tad on the long side, any reason for doing so many exercises in each session? edit - by this I mean, why not a few main compound exercises to hit the full body each session (ala 5x5 for example) as opposed to lotsa small ones? (not bagging your method at all, just curious) :)

Looks like you're training hard either way though mate, KUTGW :)

too much aye,bloody fire alarms :pfft: ,na i dont have any method to my madness :D (workouts),thats why i did this journal.

for the last 7 months iv been doin a 3 day split & over christmas i just thought id make myself a programme that covered most body parts mon wed & friday.

I do feel that my work outs are too long but iv tried to get everything in them.

i feel i should do legs every night cause id like to see them get bigger,(they arnt overly small) for my body ,just want gains really.

my chest isnt small either,but i want to increase strength on bench,thats why i do those mon & fri,with incline& decline on wed.iv found that good for gaining strength on incline & decline.

so if you or anyone else has any help/advice on how to still get that full on pump in a shorter time id take it on board & proberly give it a go. :nod:

thanks drizzt.

Fair enough mate. Is what you're currently doing working, and you don't actually mind the long sessions? If so, I'd suggest you stick to it until you find the effectiveness of your workouts beginning to wear off :nod:
