What are you doing for workouts?

[AshleyMD]

I am doing 5 reps and 5 sets of push ups, sit ups and a 9lb weight on each arm (I think it's called a curl) to build arm and core strength. I feel like I need to up my reps to 10 though. Then I do 10 minutes of slow pace running to build my endurance.
My goal is to be ready to build a house fast and be able to keep up my pace and not be just strength by the end of July.
What are your goals?

Cardio:

Bas Rutten MMA workout (I do this 3 times, with a 3 minute water break in between):

Then I finish off with this.

It's a cardio HIT workout, so my heart is pretty much racing for the whole week. I can only do this about twice a week.

I've been lazy recently within my last two months so I only lift twice a week, mainly I hit back and abs. Then legs and forearms.

I kind of have a overly developed chest and biceps, during my stupid and naive days of being a curl bro. My body has been evening out more since then.

Some exercises I do are the Ab Ripper X, followed by hanging upside down situps using gravity boots (I have the setup for that one at home). Reverse forearm curls, and pull ups, T-Row bars, things like that for back.

I bodybuild 5 days a week and do MMA 3 times a week my bodybuilding consists of one major muscle group a day 3 sets, 6 reps with a weight level low enough to achieve 4 reps but heavy enough that I can not physically go past 6 reps.

And I do 4 warmup hypertrophy sets before working any muscle group. On Mondays and Fridays I do Abs after my standard workout and that abs consists of super setting one weighted and two non weighted Ab exercises right after one another without rest then I rest and repeat two more times.

Then I have two days in which I do cardio for no more then 20-30 minutes and no more then an hour to an hour and a half total per week I also do my calves on a separate day them leg day.

My workout routine varies. But yesterday my workout was doing a 10 min run on the treadmill to warm up. 4 set of 10 pull downs. First 2 set were on 40 lbs, the next were at 60 lbs. Cycle 1: 2 sets of 15 squats with a 8lb medicine ball. 2 set of 10 Med ball Overhead Floor Slam. 2 sets of 20 push up rows with 10 lb weights. 2 sets of squat curls with 10 lb weights. 2 sets of 10 deadlifts with 45 lbs. 2 sets of 30 second (each side) single arm - single leg planks. 2 sets of 10 (each side) step ups.
Repeat cycle 1 but bump up to the next level up for weights.

Its indeed better to go for 10 reps in 3 to 4 sets. 9 lbs for a curl is low if you want to shape arms. Best is to exercise at 50 to 60 % of your max weight (that is the weight you can manipulate 1x for that exercise). If you want to build strength, go for 60 to 70 %. Slow running is for fat burning. For endurance, you need to work on displacing your lactic acid point. Then e. g. you could curl 9 lbs until your biceps collapses (best is to look for a weight to do 30 reps). That will build endurance (I as a climber needs that)

[AshleyMD]

The 9lb is a make-shift weight and I don't know how to make anything bigger. So I should be doing 70-84lb weights? That sounds really heavy for guys even. So endurance is more just constant repetition until exhaustion?

[Climber]

No, with max weight, I don't mean the body weight, but the maximum weight you can use for that specific exercise. Suppose you can curl 30 lbs just once, then that is your max, and you should exercise with something like 15 lbs or little more. Yes, you are correct for endurance.

[AshleyMD]

Ohhhh that makes so much more sense now. Oh ok, thank you for the information!

[Climber]

Nice to help. Go for your killer body ;-)

[Climber]

Thanks, go for the result now :-)

[BertMacklinFBI]

10 would be more ideal than 5 if you can handle it.

[AshleyMD]

Ok, I think I will because 5 feels like nothing and I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to feel some kind of burn.

[BertMacklinFBI]

rule of thumb; if its easy its not a workout.

[AshleyMD]

Oh ok, thanks.

My workout varies every week as I want to keep it interesting and motivating. However I still do the same thing every week. I always go to the gym 3x a week and I will do some cardio to warm up (slope 2,5% - speed 4 Miles per hour). After that I will be doing some weight lifting exercises of 88Lbs (Like squats , different types of leg and arm exercises.) After 2 hours of lifting I always do some cardio again (with a bit of running in between) for another 30 minutes. In between these 3 days I always aim to do 1,5 hour of ballet and boxing and some cardio when the weather is great. Also I prefer stretching every week. I wanted to become toned and have less body fat percentage. I already can see the results for over a year now, but it makes me feel so happy that I just won't give up on it!

Distance running and I'm starting Insanity soon :) I would like to lose about 10 pounds and get more toned. I'm skinny with a gut.

[YourFutureEx]

My goal is to heal my toe as soon as possible and set-up new goals like reducing belly fat and having light abs and 15.5-16.5 inch biceps.

[Redstang88]

Pretty basic strength training rountine. Bench, shoulder press, curls, rows, cleans, deadlifts. Low reps, usually 3-8 for 2 or 3 sets.

[Redstang88]

Goals are 200+ shoulder press, 300+ bench, 400+ deadlift.
