My gym routine
Apr. 2nd, 2006 03:41 pmBy request, here's what I do at the gym:
I've been lifting for almost 7 years now. This routine evolved from a 4-split (legs, back, shoulders, chest) into more like a 7-split; I used to have the stamina to do a 3-hour leg day, for example, but a few years ago I split it into two pieces (or more, depending on time available.) I often have to cut a day short because of some evening social obligation and finish what remains on another day. I also pyramid some exercises (increase weight as I do sets) when I'm doing well. I always do 250-500 calories of cardio after each lifting session. But this is approximately what I do now:
( Just doing your same old sets... )
Oh, and no matter how hard you work out, you won't get any definition unless you eat carefully. My old post on diet.
