-4 sets of 10-12 reps of leg presses (currently at 540+)
-3 sets of 10-12 reps of chest workouts on machine (normally would do bench press however I have a serious but stable shoulder condition)
-4 sets of 30 calf raises
-3 sets of 10-12 reps of hammer curls
-4 sets of 12-15 reps of seated leg press
-4 sets of 15 triceps dips on Parallel Bar
-more calf work
-machine chest exercise
-ab works
-then I do 3 sets nonstop combo of:
-10 bicep curls
-25 push-ups
-20 triceps dip on the bench
when it's all said and done I'll get on the bike or the elliptical for 10-15 minutes.
Do you think my workout routine is too much of a routine and should I switch some things. On a sidenote, I gradually increase the amount of weight and/or reps I do for each exercise probably on a bi-weekly basis.
John H thanks for the info, as I would have to agree. I'm already a bulky guy at 200 however as much as I would love to bulk up some more, I just can't because I have osteolysis of the distal clavicle which is an excruciating shoulder injury. Doctors have recommended that I not workout with any heavy weights but I just can't resist not going to the gym. I guess toning would be a good thing to do
What are you trying to do? Gain bulk? Lose weight? Tone? what?
Not enough cardio anyway. You need a total of 30 min. Also, try focusing on one muscle group a day.
You wont gain any bulk that way. Your muscles will tone up thats it. THey will be able to endure more and will become solid. A 5 set 6 rep heavy weight workout is ideal for bulking. What you are doing now is "toning"
