I've been posting my simple knowledge about others workouts, but havn't left my own out to be cut to pieces by those far better in the know. Here it goes: (Sets x Reps) Chest/Upper Torso/Arms Dumbell Press - 3 x 6 (There is not a bench rack seeing as the gym bought a Smith Machine instead...) Over Head Press - 3 x 6 *alternating each workout between dumbell press and overhead press* Parallel Bar Dips - 3 x 6 (Body Weight) Chin Ups - 3 x 6 (Palms forward & varying grip each set) Lower Torso/Back/Abdominals - Weighted Knee Raises - 3 x 6 (Using a medicine ball held between feet) Static Sit-Up - 10 seconds held x 10 seconds relax (repeeat as many as possible) Barbell Good Mornings - 3 x 6 Legs / Lower Back - Barbell Squat - 3 x 6 (Would use a Bar Squat.. but Mr Smith Machine replaced the squat rack) Dead Lift - 3 x 6 When? I Work the Legs on Sunday, and the rest of my body on Wednesday. Every so often I look to change the workout to keep my body in check. Im open too all criticism. Shred it if you must!
Looks pretty good. Although I'd add some dumbell rows or similar. To balance out the chest exercises. Also some chinups! And stop having a leg day, avoid body part days. More effective not doing dealift and squats on the same day.
*Pointers noted* Cheers dude. I never really considered not using body part days, just automatically worked like that because I thought it would benefit recovery time. What would you suggest? Mixing it up, say: Sunday - Bench, Chins, Squat, Abs Wednesday - Rows, Pull ups, deadlift, Abs
Definitely not. Provided the workouts are evenly spaced and properly planned. I actually think this is one of the best and probably the most practical ways to train
i'm doing full body workouts 4 times a week right now. definitely not overkill as long as you vary the lifts and rep ranges.
Full body 4 times a week is alot. I wouldnt do that. You cant increase the poundages if your still recovering from your last workout.
Full body it is! Could be such a better workout if the gym wasn't run my morons and bought a squat rack!
