Hi all. Are you following a certain program? Are you doing your own routine? I'd love to know. I've done some of the NROLFW, Stronglifts and my own routine. I'm in a rut - would love to see what others are following.
P.S. If you are doing your own routine, can you list your workout and which lifts you are doing? If you've done several lifting programs, can you say which one you prefer?
Thanks so much!

I am currently following a sort of a spin-off program to Strong Curves (which I loved) called Get Glutes. It is a monthly subscription glute focused full body program.4
-
I'm also trying to nail down a new program, I've done several PHUL rounds but started to spin my wheels.
I'm leaning towards Wendler 5/3/1.2 -
I'm working on my second round of Strong Curves currently.3

I do 2 days of something similar to 5x5: bench and squat, OHP and deadlift, Row and glute bridge. I might change up the reps depending on weight. So, if I can rep out 5x5 of my bench at 90lbs, but not ready to add 5lb, I might do 6 sets or 6 reps next week. I also only do 5 sets of 3 deadlifts and I do more reps of glutes. I don't mind growing the glutes!3

I'm doing MaxT3. It's a set of 2 dvds. It's between 6 and 12 minutes of exercise 6 days a week. I know it sounds ridiculous but I'm getting crazy results. It's been a little over 60 days for me and my arms are looking buff and I finally have calf muscles. The dvds are available online for under thirty dollars. It's a short duration high intensity program. The biggest motivator for me doing a workout every day is the time commitment is so small and it's doable. Good luck! I think you can see some of the exercises on YouTube.2

I am doing CrossFit.
I have found that it is the only program that keeps me motivated. I had never done any "Olympic lifts" before I first tried it 5 years ago. (I had to quit bc I lost my job and couldn't afford it and didn't go back until now) Just learning the complex lifts was like learning a whole new world to working out and I loved the challenge. Because of that training many years ago, I gained a lot more confidence to go into a weight room on my own.
It really depends on the location that you go to and the trainers. My first gym was amazing at teaching and correcting form.

Starting over with Stronglifts 5X5 today.0

I've started Thinner Leaner Stronger -- though I'm not 100% certain I'm doing it correctly...but I like the change.0

Heya, I'm doing Strong Curves right now. So far I'm loving it.3

Great job ladies!
I'm starting another round of Body Beast in January. I saw a lot of great changes to my body with this program and I enjoyed it so much I want to do it again!2 -
I am a big fan of Bodybuildingdotcoms workouts and I am currently doing Arnold's Blue Print to Mass. It's challenging.. I add in my own cardio, usually 30 minutes of steady state after I lift, occasionally I do fasted cardio to a Jillian Michael's dvd or attend a spin class, as well as a cardio circuit for an hour once a week with a trainer, working on balance, etc.1

Thinner, leaner, stronger. I absolutely love it!1
-
I tend to make my own program depending on what I have available to me. I'm actually working on a new one for the new year, but a lot of my strength training insight comes from Jim Karas and his books. I just got his newest one and started to read it. I'll come back to update this once I have it hashed out. ^_^ Happy New Year everyone!2

I started "the muscle building routine" 4wks ago.1

Ashley Conrad's 21-Day ClutchCut0
-
Candito's linear progression - it's suiting me well right now and I love that only one of the days (heavy lower) feels like death. The other 3 are fairly doable0

Strong Curves!1

I've done a number of programs on body building.com and was doing crossfire prior to that. I'm heading into my last week of a 12 week program designed by bombshell fitness but after my last week of the program I'll be taking a week off and then starting "thinner leaner stronger"0
-
I'm into my 3rd week of the 12 week transformed program developed by bodybuilding.com. It's my first lifting program and is well suited for a beginner like me. yay!1

Which part do you not understand? Particular exercises?0

The PDF is a template of all the exercises. You may want to purchase the book where he gives you details.. how to set up the program, warm-up, mobility, substitutions, diet/macro recommendations, etc. I highly recommend the book. It is the best fitness purchase I ever made

Do you ladies do Cardio the same days as lifting? if so do you do cardio before or after?0
-
Strong Curves and I usually do 20 minutes of cardio but I am still in the losing weight stage0

I'm old and have been lifting for eons. Had some life issues and a bad health scare last year and lost some weight and now I'm serious about getting fit again.
Right now I work out six days/week. I do 45 min to an hour on an incline treadmill after each lifting session. Day 1: bench 5 sets, maxing at 155lbs; dumbbell curls 3 sets 20lbs; dumbbell tricep extensions 45lbs. Day 2: leg press on sled 3 sets max at 270; leg curls on seated stack plate 3 sets max 85. (No extensions until my right knee stops bugging me.); deadlifts 3 sets 35lbs. Day 3: seated flyes, 3 sets 12.5lbs; dumbbell shoulder press, 3 sets 20lbs; seated bent-arm lateral raises, 3 sets 12.5lbs; cable rows, 3 sets max 80 if I can get near the bro-covered equipment. Repeat.1 -
Strong Curves and I love it! After a year maintaining at 137lbs I have dropped down to 130 lbs in 9 weeks, gone down an inch in my booty (38") and waist (26.5 ") 0

I don't follow a program. I currently do CrossFit 3 - 4 times a week. I like it because every day is different and there's a lot of focus on Olympic lifts.

Right now I run M, W, F, do strength training T, TH and swim Saturday
The program for strength training is determined by the small group personal trainer who runs the group I attend T, TH. The last 6 weeks were pure strength training with a 5-10 min cardio workup and a 5-10 min cardio cool down. We are starting a new 6 week session this Tuesday and apparently it will alternate strenght and cardio in aninterval program.0
