What Does Your Typical Workout Consist Of?

**sensitivenips** · 01-13-2012, 07:13 PM

I see that most people on here who make post about the time they spend in the gym averages from 60 - 90 min. Lets extend that forum with a Part 2 consisting of how many exercises, sets, and reps you focus on when gaining. Pick one muscle group and list a sample regime, lets stay away from chest on this one though being that it doesnt take a genius to build this muscle up.

Monday and Friday, legs
Back squats 3x15
Deadlift 5x5
Front squats 3x 6-8
Hack squats 5x failure
Usually that will about do me! Depending on how heavy I go. This is just what I do, but what do I know..
I will add and subtract a few other exercises and mix things up a bit to keep shit from getting flat.

Back Workout-takes about 60 mins. 1) weighted pull ups 4 sets to failure 2) deadlifts 4 sets 6-10 reps 3) Lat Pulldowns 4 sets 10 reps 4) t-bar rows 4 sets 10reps 5) underhand grip pulldowns 4 sets 10 reps 6) good morning 4 sets using 135 for failure on each set. That workout right there seals the deal for me.

I switched to bodyweight exercises and cross fit a while ago. For more details you can check out my log

I usually hit the gym ED when working the early shift and EOD when doing the late shift. I don't work out on Saturday and Sunday except for cardio.

I've been doing a lot more body weight exercises lately for some reason. I espicially taken to weighted dips on tricep or chest days (depending on form). Cross fit has also taken off around here too. Good to see you on here MG!

I have no "typical" workout.I am constantly changing things up.As ive posted many threads of different routines,I have used and use them all over the yrs.Never the same for me.Its the only way IMHO to continually make progress.

Always change your routine and practice correct form with every lift.
As for me I'm a Personal Trainer and Strength Coach. I'm exposed to the gym every day. There are many times I will train along with my clients. I typically hit Cardio every other day and strength training on the non- cardio days which amounts to about 4 days a week.

decline bench 6sets 6-10
cable crossovers 6sets 10-12
dips 4 sets- faliure
pullovers 6sets 8-12

thats twice the amount that most keep their set range in for a larger muscle, you can recover and make gains from this? how many do u do for legs? 45?
