Over the last month I have had my appendix out as well as other problems. I have lost 2 stone of muscle! Starting again I want to make the perfect routine. I know different things work for different people but I just wondered what people thought of this:

Mon: -EZ Bar Curl (3sets 8reps)
Hammer Bar Curl (3sets 8reps
Single Arm Cable Curls (3sets 8 reps)
-Tricep Pushdown (3sets 12reps)
Tricep Extentions (3sets 12reps)
Dips (3sets 8 reps)
Tue: -Shoulder Press (3sets 8reps)
Upright Row (3sets 8reps)
Lateral Raises (3sets 12reps)
-Squats (3sets 12reps)
Leg Press (3sets 12reps)
Leg Extension (3sets 8reps)
Thur:-30 Minutes Intense Cardio
-15 Minutes Abs
Fri: -Chest Press Incline (3sets 8reps)
Chest Press Flat (3sets 8reps)
Chest Cable Flys (3sets 12reps)
-Pulldown (3sets 8reps)
Rowing (3sets 8 reps)
Pull-ups (3sets 8reps)

Can anyone recommend a good holiday workout. There will be no local gyms or any equipment, so will need to be creative. Don’t want to spend whole time training, but want to come home in great shape. Suggestions?

I recently started a new training split, which I read in a guide it basically consists of
Mon Back,Biceps and legs: Heavy weight 6-8 reps
Tue Chest, Shoulders and Triceps: Light weight 12- 15 reps
Thur Back,Biceps and legs: Light weight 12-15 reps
Fri Chest,Shoulders and Triceps:Heavy weight 6-8 reps
Was wondering if I was overtraing as I am starting to feel a little weaker ie lifting less, not losing any size though.
Thank you

hi guys, i know that something similiar to this has been posted before but i cant seem to find it, anyway, i currently have of what i think a decent set of abs for a novice but i was wondering if anyone can give me a routine or movement which enable me to train to gain the extra top 2 abs in order to get the required 8 pack, and one more thing,i believe my top 2 abs that i currently have look rather strange as they are quite weird looking compared to the other 4 and was wondering if anyone has any routines in which will give my abs extra thickness. thanks guys any help will be much appreciated!

I recently got myself a york home bench, iv been lifting again for around a month and seen some good results strength and size wise. started on a three day split but changed to two due to time restrictions through work. Luckily iv now managed to get a bench at work with a colleague. My plan is to train 3 times a day (5/6 days) a different body part each time, so 3 parts a day. The reason being is to drop some body fat while still building muscle, im 20st and 35-40% body fat (depending on which scales i use and what time of day it is)my theory is that my metabolism will be high at three points in the day through the training, il also be building muscle so this combined with eating right should give me results. has anyone tried anything similar? or think its a good or bad idea? Also what about lifting before breakfast?

Hi I am training 4 consecutive days mon-tues-wed-thurs,and resting friday, saturday, sunday. is this a good routine to be in, I am experiencing good size and strength improvements and i am also using Creatamax which I take twice a day, but I wondered if I was doing to much without rest during the week. and also if I should still take Creatamax during rest days.

Thanks for any advice

i have just sarted out on weight training and have bought a marcy free weight set which is limited to a certain number of exercises : it has the usual bench with incline & decline, lat pull down, leg extensions & raises. i also have dumbells for other free standing exercises.

im looking to tone and lose weight.
would best suit a 3 day split routine.
any ideas???

many thanks

Hi,
Just wondering what would you lot recommend goes together best in the gym for a 3 day training split. ie chest/back, bis/tris legs/shoulders, thanx.

I’m a 6? powerlifter weight in (my heaviest) 19 stone. My best lifts are:
Squats 420lbs
Deadlifts 440lbs
Bench 264lbs (all weight inc bar)

(All With good form)

My Bench needs improvment but I dislocated my shoulder some years ago playing volley ball so I get some grief from my shoulder.

My other problem is: I train in a body building ruled gym, and the guys make it awkward because they say I carry too much weight around (body mass) which I’m fine with - lifting is my main concern. I train on my own because like I said everyone trains like a body builder, and I have nobody to guide me.

Can somebody tell me if my height/weight ratio is correct due to my type of training?
And give me a strength training routine?

The routine I’m using at the moment works for me. Just wondering if anyone has some advice, as I have only been lifting for 6 month (ish)

Many thanks to anyone who helps me.

recently i altered my training programme to include pushup bars, the guy i train with used 2 b alot bigger when he was younger and said they pumped him up big time. we had mainly been training with the bench press for chest. now we have incorporated the push up bars into it, we try and hit between 8-12 each time touching ur nose against the ground obviously its harder to hit the higher reps the more u do it, we do about 6 different sets with wide and narrow grips, inbetween each set we would do a burnout on the bench press with a fairly light weight.

i was wondering has anyone else tried this method or anything similar and what kind of results they got?thanks for any help or advice you can give me
