What is your usual gym routine?

[jessicarosen]

Exercises, workout length, gym attire, etc.

[zeitgeist057]

Before I go, I make my "power smoothie", which is:

1 cup homeade milk kefir
2 scoop myProtein sugar free protein powder
5 g spirulina
5 g moringa
5 g creatine monohydrate
optional : I may add green tea powder, or I may do a separate power shot of C4 energy preworkout w/ 5 g of powder in 8oz of water.. this is if I want a caffeine kick for the workout.

I take a 64 oz jug of pure reverse osmosis water with me to the gym. My attire is usually shorts like either a yoga short or basketball type shorts, top is a compression-esque polypro wicking shirt.. her's an image since I'm having trouble describing:

I mix up cardio between rowing machine or heavy bag work.

For lifting, I use dumbbells and straight bars for arms, as well as pull ups and some machine exercises like lat pull downs, tricep push downs, preachers (on the same machine, for abs), do some deadlifts, benchpress.

To close out, I will usually go do some kettlebell work on the floor. Turkish getups, kettlebell swings, and some other kettle-based moves. I also like to close out with some planks. I'll do a 30 second hold then switch to a new plank, I have a routine that is about 5 minutes of different planks, and I can extend or shorten each plank by 5-15 seconds if I want to increase or decrease intensity. After that, a bit of stretching, sometimes a few yoga poses to open up, then I shower at the gym and change.

there's several other things I will use at the gym like the giant tire or ropes, inverted ab station, etc. The things I rarely use are the bicycles, treadmills, and stair master (though I used to use the stair master at my little apartment gym, there's just so many other things to do at a full gym I don't use it if I have a heavy bag at my disposal for example).

Twice a week I have a "penance" regimen, atonement for the crap I sometimes eat, which goes like this:
A. Monday night, 3 sets of 15 each, part one:
1. "hexbar" squat lift
2. Pull down weight machine
3. "planking" for 1 minute 15 seconds
B. Monday night, 3 sets of 15 each, part two:
1. Overhead barbell lift
2. Leg press weight machine
3. Abdominal "sit up" exercises
C. Monday night, finale, depending upon weather:
--Walking back and forth across the gym parking lot, 3 laps, holding up barrel weight or dragging chain, singing "chain gang" songs in my head (ha ha), or
--Walking back and forth within gym, carrying kettle bells, 3 laps
D. Thursday night, 3 sets of 15 each, part one:
1. "barbell" squat lift
2. "one arm row" each arm, same barbell
3. "planking" for 1 minute 15 seconds
E. Thursday night, 3 sets of 15 each, part two:
1. Bench Press
2. Leg extension or leg curling weight machine
3. Abdominal "leg lift" exercises
F. Thursday night, finale, depending upon weather:
--Walking back and forth across the gym parking lot, 3 laps, holding up barrel weight or dragging chain, singing "chain gang" songs in my head (ha ha), or
--Walking back and forth within gym, carrying kettle bells, 3 laps

Wearing:
--Towel around neck (I really perspire off my head and not much elsewhere, not sure why)
--T Shirt
--Shorts or Sweatpants, depending upon weather and time of year

Weekends and after day job, depending upon weather:
--bicycle riding
--day hikes
--lawn and garden toiling

[Curmudgeon]

Oh yes, and sipping bottled water all the while. Toiling and sweating off my head makes me thirsty.

I love training legs.
Most workouts I'll start with calves. Then I'll train the muscles that I plan to train.

My workouts last 1-3 hours.
I do a ton of Dropsets and Supersets.
Full control full range of motion.
Chase the muscle pump.

Some of my muscle enhancements are taken 30-120 minutes before starting my workouts. Some is taken at night before bed. Some taken first thing in morning.

I love working out in shorts and workout leggings.

Post workout is a protein shake or protein meal.
Drink 1-2 gallon (3-4 liters) of water every day.

There is a lot more to this.

I warm up, either by walking on the treadmill - with an incline or by the row machine or something else. Usually 10-15 minutes.

Then I use a program in an app. It's ivysaur beginner 4-4-8 program.
My next workout is going to be
Benchpress 4x4
Squat 4x8
Overhead press 4x8
Chinups 4x8

And then I add stuff like bicep curls, plank, core/ab exercises, or something else.
And then I stretch out.

I'll add to it when I get in better shape.

I only run the treadmill. I jog in the mornings, sometimes run.

In the weekends, I swim for an hour. Like legit swim, not just dance around in water
