    Weekly workout routine

    I was wondering what everyone's weekly workout routine was?

    I have a new one (that I really like) I read about in Joe Weider's Muscle & Fitness Magazine (August 2001) by Bob Chicherillo.
    Day 1 - Chest (his states, chest calves, but I do chest only)
    Day 2 - Back, abs
    Day 3 - Legs, Calves
    Day 4 - Biceps, Triceps
    Day 5 - Shoulders, traps, abs
    Day 6 & 7 - Rest

    I usually throw in cardio about every other day and Jiujitsu practice 2-3 times a week.

    Monday-Chest/Bi's
    Tuesday-Back
    Wednesday-Tri's/Abs
    Thursday-Legs
    Friday-Delts/Calves
    Saturday-Off
    Sunday-Off
    Do this for two weeks as a base and then alternate groups every two weeks.

    I have 4 different routines that I rotate every 8-10 weeks or so!

    Gotta keep the body guessing if you want results! One thing for sure the body has the ability to get used to what you through at it if you stay in a program too long. Some of my friends change their workouts every 4 weeks!

    Gotta agree with MJ on this one. Keep varying your routine. Not only does it force the body to grow by putting differen't stresses on the muscles but I believe it makes you stronger. As you change your exercises you are working, and therefore strengthening, differen't stabilizing muscles as well. I also like to mix up machines and free wieghts. Switching things up also helps keep things interesting and lively.

    All good info. Try everything for a few weeks and through trial you'll develop your own routine. Me I like keeping my chest, delts, and tri's together, then lats and Bic's off a day then Legs, and start over with chest, delts,tri's. Off the weekend and Monday continue where I left off with Back and Bic's. Every week a different group gets hit twice, and I'm ensured enough recoup time for growth. Be instictive on every exercise, and hit every rep range. Change IS good. I've gone in the gym and done just 20 sets of squats on a leg day! Had a hard time pushing the gas peddle but I guarantee you I shocked my legs.

    See more is not always better. Your ability to recover is determined by your age, your diet, and your sleeping patterns. Nobody will maintain a positive nitrogen balance with out feeding the cells and resting them properly.

    I think most people start off with chest because we after a weekend off we want to start with a fun training session. Chest is motivating and not as taxing as say...Legs.

    Me with higher intensity 1 hour to 1:15. I've seen people take as long as 3 hours to train, but most of their workout is spent flapping their jaw.

    In other words he is one of those 2-3 hour workout dudes that spend his time socializing instead of training with some intensity.

    Go figure...Got to get the girl!

    Just remember fellas...you got to work out to get the girls to notice you. Getting on gear first ain't the way. Walk the walk and then talk the talk. Peace

    How Long??

    Approx. 2 to 3 hours per day
    1 and 1/2 hours in the early AM (5:00am to 6:30 am)
    1 hour during lunch ( Get to the state gym at 12 sharp leave to go back to work at 1 sharp) OR......
    about 1 and a half in the afternoon after work with my girlfreind. If I do not make it at lunch because I was out inthe field)
    When I was in school I would get every thing done in the morning and with tanning it would normally take me about 3 and a half hours. Now with my work schedule I do not really spend more that 1 and half hours in the gym at a time therefore I have to come back thorugh out the day to finish everything up.

    Aare you talking to the Chef?

    MuscleGuru,
    If you are talking about my routine, It would have to be off. I have never taking a cycle all though I have trained those in the past how have experimented around with AS. I eat clean, run like hell and work out hard. That's it.
    Tobey


    PS. Now there has been once or twice that I was accused of being on a cycle! It was at a time when I was playing around with different pro hormones here and there.( OTC crap) But mostly now it is just clean eating and the useual supplements.( Creatine, Glutimine, thermogene, ect)
