Popular Post sirineou Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 Actually, I always hated doing legs, Now with covid here in the US, I set up a gym at home and workout there, (actually I look at it a lot) but when I went to the Gym the one thing my trainer always yelled at me was " you need to do more legs " true quote , he would say "I know people like chicken legs, but not on you" LOL 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlancaster Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I lift 3 days a week. My program right now has me start with a different lift each day, all competition style (squat, bench, or deadlift)... Then 2 accessory lifts (e.g. paused squats, close grip bench, higher rep ranges, etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Depends on the day. Basic: Large muscle group working down to isolated small muscle groups. And warm up before you do anything. Edited December 22, 2020 by connda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5633572526 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Coffee is the first thing I lift every morning after that it’s all about what is available when I get to the gym. It’s not a social event for me so I want to get through my routine as quickly as possible and get on with my day so splitting reps or waiting around until someone else is finished is not for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStar Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 What a dead forum. Starting with bench press probably reflects insecurity over one's pecs. For me the starting exercise (after warmup) depends on which split of 3. Lower body: deadlifts, ha. Squats come next last, just before leg extensions to balance the knee strain. Upper: pulldowns (extending shoulder warmup) > military press > rows > bench press--similar balance concept. Cardio & abs: intervals, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are American due to how you typed. Correct me if I am wrong. Yeah I never really questioned why I start with bench, I guess it's habit. Normally, rather than resting for awhile, I do either back extensions or sit-ups in between sets. Speaking about 'warmup,' I'm starting to be more inclined to warm up myself. Interesting for your lower body as I think doing leg press/extension before squat is the way to go. Yeah for uppers I usually do towards the end. Do you bring anything to drink?

I even suggest coffee before too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardio & abs: intervals, etc. No disrespect but based off all your various posts I have read so far, you seem sort of a negative type of person especially for someone who is into fitness. As I mentioned before I suggest to keep lifting and do more lower body! Make up for those insecurities and personality you have!

But i was 16 at the time. Bench press was the thing to do. Squat.. not really. I changed a lot since that time. Bench press is no longer that important but squat and deadlifts are. Military press is good too and so are rows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep lifting, you need it! ????️ Just keep on lifting, constancy works best. I recently got back after a couple of months of not lifting. Easy to get back in the game. My home gym has now moved from my old home to my new. Doing a full body kind of training 3 days a week. Squats 3 x 8 Deadlifts 3 x 8 Bench press 4 x 8 -10 Military press 4 x 8 - 10 One arm rows 4 x 8 Triceps and biceps Abs Now going to add rowing on the rowing machine on the non lifting days. Its amazing how fast it all comes back. Maybe after 2 months of full body ill be doing split again or something else. Bought a special weight lifting tracker https://www.thisisbeast.com/en Will start using it once it arrives and after my 2 months of full body. I want to see what velocity training can do plus its one of the few trackers that works good for weightlifting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
