What is your workout routine?

I used to go to gym 3 times a week. Usually in and out of the gym in 1.5 hour.

Monday: chest & back + 20 min of cardio
4- 5 excercise 4 set x 10-12 rep each
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: arm (bicept & tricep) + 20 min of cardio
4- 5 excercise 4 set x 10-12 rep each
Thursday: rest
Friday: shoulder + 20 min of cardio
4- 5 excercise 4 set x 10-12 rep each
Sat/Sun: rest

I usually switch up the routine every 3 month. So arm/shoulder/chest.

I was able to lose 10lbs in the first month with this routine. That and stay off snacking/fast food/junk food/non-diet soda.

~sigh, New Years is here and I only been to gym once....

Here's mine:

I go to the gym at least 3 times a week, sometimes 4. Everytime I am at the gym I do 10 mins of shooting around the basketball court to warm up then I do 20 mins of cardio.

Then I would do chest 4 different exercises 4 sets

Then I rest and eat 5 cups of rice the next day

Then I do shoulders/biceps 4 exercises 4 sets

Then I rest and eat 5 cups of rice the next day

Then I do Back/triceps 4 exercises 4 sets

Then I rest and eat 5 cups of rice the next day

Then I do Legs 5-6 exercises 4 sets

Then I rest and eat 5 cups of rice the next day


After a few months of doing this routine my belly grew from 34 to 38 fvkin inches. So no more rice for me.........at least for a while.

It's definitely your carb intake then....

Try to eat more egg whites and chicken breasts for protein instead!!

This is my routine:

Warm up for 5 mins on the treadmill @ 7mph for 2 laps to get the blood flow going. Then do some situps afterwards but I haven't been doing them lately. Next, off to the major exercesises (explained below). Finally, top the session off w/ a 20-30 min cardio (stairmaster, elliptical cycle or treadmill)

Day 1: Chest and biceps exercises for 60 to 90 mins. 4-6 sets; 10-15 reps

Day 2: Upper/lower back and triceps exercises for 60-90 mins same amount of sets and reps as chest

Day 3: Leg and Core exercises (gotta keep the entire body balanced and avoid chicken legs) plus it's a good way to rest the upper body for 1 day.

Day 4: Shoulders and delts. Go light on those arm raises and load up on the shoulder presses instead.

Day 5: Rest

Try changing your exercises around for better results. I tried it once and saw results within 10 weeks. Of course, that was 7 years ago in college. Like Arvin, I too need to reduce carb and sugar intake.

Gym at work? Must be nice

I don't go to the gym because I'm lazy... The only thing I do is stairs at my apartment with my S/O and he teaches me jui jitsu/grappling/wrestling techniques about 2 times a week. That's enough for me.
