Workout / Exercise Routines

[Charger]

So here's a topic for all you fellow weight lifters and anyone who likes to work out or exercise in any way...


Post about your routines and schedules and what not here...

I like to do curls when I'm on the phone and go for walks during lunchtime.

I usually workout 5 days a week...with some exceptions. But that's the routine I try to keep especially during winter...

During summer I'll also incorporate some running to the mix....Usually 3 runs a week. Can't do it during winter though...because of the cold and especially because of the danger of slipping and falling and breaking my coccyx.


My current routine is

Monday:
Back and Shoulders
Tuesday:
Forearms and Biceps (Dumbbell)
Wednesday:
Rest day
Thursday:
Pecks and Triceps
Friday:
Legs
Saturday:
Biceps & Forearms 2 (Barbell, Curvebar)
Sunday:
Rest Day


During summer I usually add an hour of running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays...


I have a 4 week routine and 5th week is always rest. I tend to use pyramid, but not always.

For my left forearm i use a Varigrip to retain (or at the moment regain due to not being active for a while) the strenght of my fret hand. The right forearm gets it's natural exercise.
Other than that i'm a hiker/bicycle guy. Forrests and mountains, but it's far from downhill biking. And ofcourse only in the summer half of the year due to being in Norway. Have been thinking about picking up alpine skiing again this winter, but pre christmas there just wasn't enough snow, and the last month & a half have been too damn cold. Tried picking up snowboarding again too a couple of years ago, something my tailbone still isn't happy about, as i fell on the exact same place in the exact same way twice within a week.

Currently: getting out of bed, walking around some, driving in my car, getting into bed.

Although I've been cautiously getting back to the rowing machine. In about a month I should be good to go full-speed ahead with a new routine.

Cool...I can imagine it's pretty cool hiking and cycling over there...crazy awesome scenery. Not like this flat forrest/field shit we have here...

I used to cycle a lot too back in the day, but for what ever reason I stopped...haven't even been on a bicycle since the 90s... :O

I hate the cold too much to do any skiing anymore...not to mention that skies cost a small fortune here nowadays...

 Oh yeah...Billy told me about your accident. Recovery phase can be a bitch. But gotta just take it slow and easy. Glad that you're okay though.

Here too. Not to mention ticket cards for the ski lifts. Another reason i haven't been doing it much lately.

I like cycling in flat forrest scenery too, though. Variation, and forrests are beautiful too, though not as much as the mountains.

So here's a topic for all you fellow weight lifters and anyone who likes to work out or exercise in any way...


Post about your routines and schedules and what not here...

I have been going to the gym fairly regularly for about 4 years. Lately, my routine consists of pecs, tris one day, back, biceps the next, shoulders/abs/neck the following, then one or two,(or three) days of rest. I know you shouldn't skip leg day, but my job as a music teacher works out my legs 5 days a week and takes care of cardio as well. My mental exercise routine consists of meditation, learning languages, playing chess, and watching physics lectures, mostly daily. The rest of my time consists of laying around, eating chips, lol

You know... reading this thread is good support for an exercise routine, since we're all talking about it, we're more likely to keep on doing it.

That is a great way of seeing it.


I have been working out for about 8 years now...not for body building or anything (the only part of my body that's gotten bigger is my stomach and that ain't muscle mass either) but just for fun.

I have a bit of a gym at home with dumbbells and barbells and a bench...I don't go to gyms. Mainly because I'd be laughed out of them.

Plus I get to listen to the music I like while working out and doing things in my own time.

Pretty good routine there Sicko! I have to confess that Legs is the one that I leave out too if something unexpected comes along and I gotta miss a day of workout.

I have a bench with weights, as well as a treadmill, in my basement.  Figured that traveling to a gym was a waste of time and money.  I do some mild weight lifting 3 to 4 times a week in the winter.  A little less the rest of the year because of outside chores that have to be done.  I try to walk the treadmill everyday for about 15 to 20 minutes.  Can't do much more than this because of tendinitis in my right knee and damaged ligaments in my right shoulder, which I am sure was from playing too much tennis, as well as other sports for the first 40 years of my life. 
I get plenty of mental exercise doing my job. but I love playing chess, cribbage and cards.

I've been going to the gym to work out on and off for the last 28 years. Currently it's off lol, but I've recently got back into boxing which I've also done on & off for 20 years or so. My brother runs a boxing gym and is a great trainer which is handy.
I also take my 14yo son who has recently got back into it after fracturing his thumb 10 months ago and then losing the motivation to go, and subsequently I stopped going as well. Recently one of his close mates who's an asthmatic was wanting to start boxing up which was the motivation he and I got to start going again.

I generally go on a health kick every once in awhile that normally last 6-12 months before the motivation runs out and I fall back into unhealthy habits. Having a holiday booked is always a great motivation for me to lose weight & get fit

When I was a young man Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbo were two of my biggest heroes. I started weightlifting in high school and was very dedicated and quite serious about it. I got to be a decent size for someone who was not using steroids. And I was very strong into my late 20s. Soon though I fell victim to a few major illnesses and have lost the ability to body build. I am on some pretty strong drugs, morphine being one of them and they really kill the motivation and my energy reserves.
Also I am sure that being on marijuana most of the day does not add to my workout capabilities.

The older I get, the better walking seems to me.

Sorry to hear about that buddy! But I do hope you exercise still otherways then...

I have been, I guess you can say, lucky not to have any big issues yet...the biggest one is my right knuckle which is pretty messed up and that does cause some problems and is in constant pain too which is why I eat codeine daily. But I haven't allowed it to stand in my way though...
