  • What are you training today?

    Do you guys plan what exercises you're going to do for the day or week - or do you figure it out when you get there?

    What are you training today? What exercises are you doing? I'd like to see what others are doing - might remind me (or others) of some exercises I've not done in a while or maybe someone has some new tricks.

    I plan most everything - what do you want to know?

      I used to decide what to do when I walked in to the gym, but not any more. My friend who's helping me with my next show has everything planned for me, I mean anything from which body part to how many reps to how much weight. Basically I don't even think anymore, he points and I do it. :)

        I usually have a schedule that I go by unless I slack off and skip a day. Tonight is supposed to be shoulders.

          Exactly what I asked - what you're training today and what exercises you're doing. (You probably aren't training today - so come back tomorrow)

          Ugh - I like the typo in the title :thumbsdow

            Today is Chest and Back day. It'll be a circuit training and I am guessing it'll be something like.
            incline press: 20 reps.
            dumbell chest press: 20 reps
            cable crossovers 20 reps
            lying down cable flys 20 reps
            and bench press 20 reps.
            I'll be doing this circuit for my chest none stop for 5 rounds and then move on to my back routine.
            Again I don't know what my buddy will pick but pick any five back exercises and do 20 reps none stop for 5 rounds. Oh and try to go little heavier each round.
            Yesterday one of my friends joined us for a leg workout and threw up twice plus he almost passed out. :nerdnew: :dancingne
            I actually leaving for the gym now. I'll let you guys know how I feel in couple of hours. :dancingne

              I go by feel of body parts. For example, I wanted to do legs today but my hams were tight so I did a different body part. Going to put some heat on the hams tonight and do a little stretching and warmup tommorow morning and do legs. But I do follow a basic guideline most of the time. Chest, Arms, Legs, Shoulders, Back, Off, in that order.

              Good post. :)

                I have really been trying to change my body. I am trying to reduce my size and be more, athletic, for a lack of a better word. I do all body resistance for my upper body, except chest (e.g. dips, pull ups, chin ups). So pretty much I start with my running than either do upper body or legs. Pretty much all compound movements. I have kind of a goal to be almost acrobatic. I want to have lots of body control, balance and flexibility. There is also a indoor rock climbing gym that I want to join sometime soon.

                      So you're doing like a circuit training for your upper body? How many times a week are you training?

                        Everyday (rotating upper and lower eod) until I feel like my body is giving out. Then I will take a day or two off depending on feeling. Then I go back at pushing it to the limit improving endurance and overall goal.

                          did shoulders today. i try and hit each muscle group every 6 days. legs shoulders back chest usaly do arms with back and chest.. that way i know i hit everything as much as possible. I also listen to my body if i'm more tired then usual or still sore then i will take a day off. then you have cns recovery which is a whole other story.
