Workout routines

[kris]

I'm just curious, what workout routines you guys follow.

What ever works for you. You have to try a few different routines before you can say "this works best for me". Also different routines give different effects. My routine goes something like this.
Monday-chest (upper/Lower) alternate weekly...dont like flat bench
Tuesday-Biceps
Wednesday-Back
Thursday-Triceps
Friday-shoulders
Sat-OFF
Sun-OFF

Somedays Ill take a day off and let myself rest Like wed or thurs. I do shoulders on friday because theyre not as strong as I want and I blast them hard so I use sat and sun to recover.

A buddy of mine does a circuit type routine.

Monday-chest/back
15 minutes back and forth from chest to back 5 reps each non stop for
15 minutes (He does 3 to 4 different exercises per group)
10 minute break in between sets
Hes usually in the gym for about 1 - 1.5 hours

Tuesday-Bi's/Tri's
Wednesday-Shoulders/abs

Then repeates this so days arent exactly the same all the time.

He doesnt do legs though. Just basically do opposing muscle groups, high sets low reps, for a 15 minutes period non stop. He liked it. He has alot more endurance from it now. He just stopped that routina and is starting back to his old routine.

Just remember read and learn as much as you can

Start off with weight you can handle
Use proper form
Start with 3 sets of 8 and work your way up to 3 sets of 10
When you get to 3 sets of 10 using proper form without struggling
go up in weight that your body can handle.

Good luck!
