MY STRENGTH TRAINING AND WEIGHTLIFTING

Hey guys!
I told you that I would share my 15-min of strength training and weightlifting exercises. This is what I plan on doing:
Crunches: 3 sets of 15, 0 lbs
Sit ups: 2 sets of 10, 0 lbs
Chest Press: 3 sets of 15, 20-30lbs
Lat Pulldowns: 3 sets of 10, 30-40 lbs
Smith Machine/Barbell Hack Squat 3 sets of 20, 10-30 lbs
Barbell Curl: 4 sets of 5, 15-25 lbs
Lunges: 3 sets of 15, 0-15 lbs
I won't do these everyday, though. It's probably WAAYYY over 15 minutes and I don't want to be in too much pain. I'll create a schedule for these. I'll increase this after maybe 4-6 weeks, so I can be stronger/more toned.
WISH ME LUCK!

Did you make this up yourself?
I would go with an established program such as Stronglifts 5x5, Starting Strength, or Strong Curves. These are balanced programs that are established by professionals who have years of experience.1 -
It makes no sense, sorry.0

What's wrong with it?
And I did make it up myself. 0 -
It's completely unbalanced and there is no reason to be doing that many sit ups and crunches. It's like each workout is based on the sit ups or crunches. Look at my tummy in my profile pic. Not perfect but I haven't done a SINGLE sit up or crunch through my weight loss.
You need a program that works the entire body. Do something like Strong Curves, Strong Lifts 5x5, All Pros Beginner Routine, New Rules of Lifting for Women.4 -
So many sit-ups and crunches.. I don't remember the last time I did those! *cringes*0

It is? Giiiirrrlll, I wish my tummy was flat like yours 
. I guess doing crunches and sit ups over belly fat makes no sense. Okay, I'll check those out. But tomorrow, because I'm going to bed. 0 -

I agree with this. You definitely don't get a flat tummy by doing sit ups. You get it through diet. I also think the programming is severely lacking. Half the moves are abs, very little compound lifts. It's completely lacking any shoulder exercise (like overhead press). What reps/sets are we even talking about here? What are the goals?
OP, do yourself a favor and get onto something well established, like one of the programs in the below link.

How's your daily protein intake? You'll see the pounds and waist size drop if you incorporate protein into your meals (say .6 grams per pound of bodyweight)0

Yeah, um sorry, that's a full of no. What do you base this claim on?jcpolk1856 wrote: »How's your daily protein intake? You'll see the pounds and waist size drop if you incorporate protein into your meals (say .6 grams per pound of bodyweight)1 -
Sorry don't mean to be rude but that is a good example of why most people shouldn't design their own programs. It's pretty awful (content, missing content, scheduling etc).
An alternative would be have a serious think about your goals, preference for training frequency, capabilities and any restrictions then either:- Pick an established program that matches the above.
- Get a professional to set up a program for you.
- Ask for people on here to make suggestions. (And of course state your goals etc.)

Op. Pick an established program. The work has literally been done for you. Attend the gym, do what it says, go home. Easy.jcpolk1856 wrote: »How's your daily protein intake? You'll see the pounds and waist size drop if you incorporate protein into your meals (say .6 grams per pound of bodyweight)
This is the second thread you've given this incorrect advice. Stop.1 -

Thank you. I'll take a look at it. And i know you can't get a flat tummy on just crunches or sit ups alone; you need cardio and diet to go with it. I posted my cardio and strength training plan in the posts below.

Do me a favor and don't recreate a new thread. I combined the two strength threads as we can discuss everything you need in this one thread. Posting multiple threads is actually a violation.
Second, you do not need cardio to get a flat stomach. You need a calorie deficit. To get a defined stomach, you need a moderate deficit, adequate protein (probably 120-140g for you), and a good resistance program; a resistance program that is focused on compound movements.0 -
the correct number of situps to do in any program is: 0
