M and F Routines

Well, to my surprise, someone actually read my last post! So let's talk about routines. what do I do in the weight room? well, I reserve MWf for weights, and I try to run on the other days, casue I still love to run, it's just I am not competiting anymore. So let's look today at my chest workout.

Now I have been using the Strong app that you can get from the App store. It is free for the most part, but it does have some features you can unlock for a fee. For me, this app has helped me track progress, and also lets me know what I lifted last time, so I am not going backwards or staying at the same weight.

My MWF workouts really only focus on upper body. I let my running focus on legs and to be honest, I have never really enjoyed working legs. As long as I am not one of those guy swith the skinnu bird legs, then i am fine with this schedule.

This is my "chesticles" workout. My goal is to bench 225 lbs. Currently at 215 lbs. I love doing bench, hate doing incline, love everything else on the list. The one thing is workout added which I as not doing was the dumbbell bench press. This is the second to last thing I do and love it when the arms get shaky.

The way I do bicep curls are not just three sets of 10. I like to call it more of a pyramid type workout. It is the very 1st thing I do before heading home. It is a typical bicep curl in the way that it is alternating curls, meaning right, left and repeat.  I start with 15 lbs dumbbells, do 10 each arm and then immediately place them back and pick up the 17.5 lbs dumbbells. I do 10 each arm and then place them back and grab the 20 lb dumbbells and do 10, then go back down. Gives a great finish to a workout.

This workout works for me, it may no be for everyone!
