| Alright, seeing as it's the new year, I've decided to drop a little weight (and before my wedding day). <p>The goal is 190, I'm about 215 right now ( all you critics do yourselves a favour and remain silent <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.asianet.ca/images/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> ) <p>I haven't been keeping up with everything that gets said here, but here is the workout schedule I've been following for about 6 weeks.<p>Mon-Triceps, Biceps, Tuesday- Beating down a heavy bag, Wednesday-Shoulders, Lats, Thurs- Beating down a heavy bag, Fri-Chest, lower back.<p>Each session is about 15 to 20 minutes each.<p>Each session leaves me a little fatigued as they are quite intense, I figure I should back off the intensity abit.<p>Now, is it more beneficial to split up the muscles to work on them or should I continue on?.<p>I know my biggest problem is my diet, but I'm slowly cutting back on the portions of food (breakfast being the largest right?)<p>The only problem is that my scale is VERY broken. |

looks good andy... couple things though... include legs in there. when you hit your legs with a good workout it stimulates your body's GH level thus promoting growth for your entire body. other thing is just my own opinion... you should do your shoulders with chest or split them apart further than that. reason being you either want to hit those groups all at once or you want to let them rest and then hit the other group on another day. the two are very closely related and overlap when doing excercises for each. if you keep your body parts together as you have above then you could switch your bi's and tri's day with your shoulders and back day. this gives you the weekend to rest after chest and before shoulders.<p>or... if you're feeling very ambitious and want to be your best at your wedding... then go for this.<p>you're already doing mon-fri which has the opportunity to split up your body parts perfectly in my opinion. this is how i've been training for probably 7 out of 8 years now (1st year i was just learning) with slight variations here and there.<p>day 1 legs
day 2 chest
day 3 back
day 4 shoulders and traps
day 5 bi's and tri's<p>i know my day 4 workout conflicts with what i said above and i could add in legs between chest and shoulders but i have issues with leg growth. they're too small. <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.asianet.ca/images/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> so i train them fresh from resting over the weekend. i want to hit them with full intensity so i put them first.<p>anyways... you could follow that and then right after each training session of weights... follow that with the bag! great cardio! and actually one of the best times of the day to do it. cardio should be done on an empty stomach for best fat burning results. not that you want to starve yourself! what you should be aiming for here is timing your cardio so that you're doing it right before your next meal. after hitting the weights you will have used up a lot of energy and this is your opportunity to shed the unwanted fat.<p>for me on day 6 (friday) i do cardio right after work/just before dinner. and then day 7 i do cardio first thing in the morning... before breakfast. |

| Awesome advise, thanks man!...<p>I've been reluctant to work on my legs as me knees are quite weak, some tell me it's was because of all those years of cycling :/<p>I've slowly been trying to work them up so I can start training on them.<p>I am feeling ambitious and I'll try your suggestions, but do you feel that the 15-20 min. wieghts followed by 15-20 min. on the heavy bag is enough?<p>I try to fit my workouts about half an hour before dinner when I get home from work.<p>Thanks again Sam <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.asianet.ca/images/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--><p>No "before" pics please... |
