A multi, iron, and calcium. CLA and L-Carnitine. Whey protein. Resveratrol and a glucosamine/chondroitin blend. Zyrtec.
I am still in fat trimming with an eye on changing some aspects of my shape. I want to build up my delts and glutes, so I don't look all shrunken when I'm done. That is my next phase, after I get my BFP down some. I am using some of the principles of The Abs Diet book (Men's Health), plus stuff my hubby and I like. We are both former AFAA certified personal trainers, but let our certs lapse for different reasons.
I do weight some of my ab exercises, because I actually like my abs slightly muscular. I've had a lot of people in the gym warn me against doing it so as not to bulk them up. Uh huh.
Feedback is so WELCOME. Please let me know if I can tweak this, or if you see something that needs changing. So here is my routine:
M,W,F
Start with an ab circuit (15-20 reps, one set):
Decline bench crunch (arms extended overhead)
Hanging leg raise (no straps, legs fully extended and brought up to hands)
Weighted obliques (on back extension bench) 10 lbs
Swiss ball Pikes w/push-up
Weighted back extension 15 lbs
Then, a total body circuit designed to keep my HR raised (12-15 reps, three sets):
Incline bench fly 20 lbs
Assisted pull-ups (Assisted with toe on bench, to keep from swinging while I do as quickly as possible. Palms in, so I guess I mean chin-ups? Never can remember. I can do about three unassisted.)
Dead lift/upright row combination 35 lbs
Squats/standing military press combination 20 lbs
1-2 min of either jumping rope or BOSU
Then, 45-75 min of cardio of choice.
T, TH
two-point plank (60 sec/side) or Swiss ball plank (90 sec.) 3 sets
Then, 3 sets of circuit:
Bicep curls/”clock lunges” combination-15 lbs, 8 reps per side
Alternating-leg dead lift-25 lbs,12-15 reps per side
Again, with the jump rope
Same cardio
Saturdays are just a shoulder circuit with front (15-20 lbs)/lateral (12 lbs)/rear deltoid (12) raises with jump rope at the end. Then...cardio. Mostly because Saturdays are game days for my boys.
Sunday is rest.0 -
Also, I'm 5' 9" and 156 lbs. Headed to about 145, with a Bod Pod test coming up next month to see where I am with body fat. I'd like about 18% I THINK. Still feeling my way with this.
I am able to bench press 70 lbs (not counting the bar), and I can leg press 300 lbs for 8 reps in a seated position. Never tried to max my squat before, so I am not sure about that. I am more of a stickler for form than 1 rep max. Whatever I can get up while maintaining good form and getting fatigued by the end of the rep is where I tend to land.0 -
Not trying to be argumenative, Id love to hear some advice, even if it is critical. getting a free BF test this afternoon to see where I am at. its just an electronic one, but I don't feel like spending $30 for a caliper test.
Hey Nick,
Where is Brook Park? I live in Plymouth, MN.
I actually agree with the previous advice. Based on stats+avi, I think you should consider bulking. If not now, then soon.
Brook Park is about halfway between the Cities and Duluth by Mora and Pine City.0 -
Sorry to be off topic but....
Aww... Lots of Minnesota peeps in this group! I'm from Minneapolis, myself. Just moved to California this last June. Feeling kinda homesick lately.0 -

My main Supplements are: Whey protein, Glucosamine, Fish Oil, Multi Vitamin, and a banana everyday.
With everything other than crunches, I do 3 sets of 15. Right now, since I have no spotter/buddy, I start with the higher weight and work down. I only test my max every 6 months or so.
Monday: Arms and Chest; Bench, Extensions, Curls, Pectoral Flies
Tuesday: Off (Play Magic the Gathering with a friend)
Wed: Back and Abs; Deadlifts, Rows, Lats, Planks, Weaighted Crunches
Thursday: Off (More Magic)
Friday: Legs; Squats, extentions, curls, inner/outer thighs

Everyday -
- Some sort of cardio. Until the snow/ice comes, I try to do cardio outside as much as possible. In the winter, I have to do treadmill.
- 200 crunches on stability ball
Goals: Burn away (a lot) more fat. Lift heavier and heavier. Goal (fantasy?) down the road is to compete in body building.
Totals:
Bench:150
Squat: 400
Dead: 2250 -

A little late to the party but thought I would join. I just started UD2 so I am doing two volume workouts a week, then one heavier full body workout, stopping short of failure, and then one full body power workout a week. Loving it so far. Trying to cut bodyfat and maintain or gain strength.
Calorie breakdown is Monday-Thursday 1500 calories, Friday 3600, Saturday 4500, Sunday 3000.
All workouts I do one exercise per muscle group. One working set. Lots of Mike Mentzer, dogg crap influence.
Just did my first full body power workout Sunday and here are the numbers:
Dumbell bench: 100's for 18
Weighted dips: 135 for 8
Weighted chins: 45 for 7
Upright rows: 115 for 8
Squats: 210 for 15
EZ bar curls:120 for 12
Dumbell millitary: 75 for 9
Bent rows: 225 for 140 -
For supps I have fish oil, and just started an EC stack. I thought about creatine mono (have some sitting in the cabinet too) Just unsure if it will do me much good at the moment.
Goals are just to lean out as much as I can until December, and then I plan on starting a bulk. I might reevaluate that depending on my body fat %
i know your post is from a couple months ago, but creatine is a great supplement when you're trying to lean out because it helps keep your strength up while you're in a calorie deficit.0 -
Mostly used a 4 day split but I'm about to start an HST routine.
6'4, 218
Bench 260 x1
Squat 270 x1
Sumo Dead 365 x1
I know my leg numbers are a little low relative to my bench but my legs are big naturally so I don't really push them as I'm into aesthetics.0 -
just a quick question to end this should i take more than 2 proteins shakes a day
depends on your goals. if you're trying to gain weight you could ADD in two protein shakes a day with all your other meals.
if you're just looking to up your protein then you could make 2 shakes 'meals or snacks' in your daily plan. 3 real food meals and 2 protein shake snacks.0 -
here's my numbers. not that great for what i weigh. right now i'm considering training for a sprint triahlon, so i need to cut back on my lifting
supps....protein, creatine, sportpharma multi and joint supp, fish oil, BCAA during workout.
bench....haven't done bench in about a year. i'll do incline with 110 lb dumbbells X 6 for my last set
squat.....have been doing front squat mostly maxed out at 275 lbs the other day. no idea what my back squat is these days
deadlift....410 lbs
power clean....i''ve done 225 lbs before, although last time i tried this weight it was an epic fail. 205 lbs was no problem. 225 lbs might as well have been 225,000 lbs.0 -
5'7" 174lbs. Been on a calorie deficit fsince I joined. Been SLOWLY losing weight for the last few years. ie.. lose 10lbs, then sit there for months. Join here and lose another 6 lbs very, very slowly.

Dead. Got up to doing 315lbs for reps of 4 but I keep losing my danged grip.
Note: I never bring my old thick belt to the gym so those are w/o a weight belt. But it looks like I need to start bringing it with me. Along with wrist straps.0 -

Great Gains.0 -
I guess Ill join in here.
supps I buy from biotest. Alphamale, Rez-v, whey protien, surge recovery, bcaas. I take a multi and fishoil and glucoasamine.
My routine is usually based around
monday - squats
tuesday - bench
thursday- deadlifts
friday- OH pressing
December 2011 maxes were:
Deadlift - 455
Bench - injured, max from earlier in the year - 238
squat - 300
Currently I am trying to not be a fatty, so I can enjoy my family and outdoors more. I was 240 or so, in november last year or so, and I am currently at 202.
I would like to have a 1200 total, by the end of 2013. I would like to gun for it this year, but with the diet and current injuries I dont think its going to happen.0 -
Bench 205
Squat 145 (gotta take it easy on the knee's)0 -
Oooo. I wanna post an update. I switched to Strong Lifts 5x5 and am making some great progress in spite of no longer being on a surplus.
5 x 5 x 110 lbs squats
5 x 5 x 90 lbs bench press
5 x 5 x 60 lbs bent over barbell rows
5 x 5 x 55 lbs shoulder Press

Monday - PowerCleans 4x6 final set for 115 lbs
Wednesday - Incline Leg Press Dead 4x6 final set for 665 lbs
Friday - Deadlifts 4x6 final set for 225 lbs
Now that we are a few months later, the routine has changed a little bit and I am far more focused on form.
Updated
Power Cleans - final set 4 reps at 115lbs
Incline Leg Press (deep with narrow stance) - final set 6 reps at 595lbs
Dead Lifts - final set 4 reps at 275lbs (only set I use alternating grip, all the rest overhand)
Barbell Bench Press - final set 4 reps at 175lbs
I am actually pretty happy about the progress on Deadlifts.0 -
I lifted back in my twenty's, stopped got fat then started again. I've only been back into it for about seven months. I did the RFL diet for ten weeks to cut my bf% down (lifted the whole time but pretty much zero noob gains, it's a pretty extreme deficit you run on) then lifted all bro like (total waste of time) for about a month. then I got turned in the right direction. so long story short here are my numbers
still on a mild deficit but making decent gains (noob I know)
bench 190 5x5 this has always been a weak spot for me
squat 225 5x5 only been doing squats for a couple of months
dead lift 265 x 6
I've only been doing deads for about three weeks started at 225 x 6 ( had to deload for about a week due to injury)0 -
Oooh, someone just asked me so I will cut and paste.
Exercise: Current Set:Rep................................................... Starting (September)
Squat: 125 x 3x5 ........................................... 65 x 3x10
SLDL 125 x 3x5 .......................................... 65x 3x10
bench 95 x 3x5 ..................................... 65 x 3x8
One arm db row 40 x 3x6 ...................................... 15 x 3x10
db shoulder press 30 x 3x5 ....................................... 15 x 3x8
Lat pulldown 120 x 3x6........................................ 75 x 3x10 (started in October)
3/wk full body compounds. Gonna up my squats and lat pulldowns by 5 lb this week. Soon I'll be squatting my bw for reps, which is a big goal of mine. Once I can do more than 1 pullup, I'll start adding those in.
Sorry, I suck at getting these to line up.0 -
good stuff people!0

255x8 is no joke.
do you do an alternate grip on deads? use chalk? both helped me a ton.
Yup. Alternate grip. I need to get chalk. Thanks for reminding me.
Update.
Bench. Did 3 reps at 205lbs
Squat: Did a few reps at 275lbs.
Dead is still at 315 for 3-4 because of the grip issue. Getting the bar off the ground is easy. I imagine I could do 335 or 365 w/o too much trouble for a 1 rep0 -
first post in bb group. hi everyone
my routine while i bulked was upper lower . ran it 4 times a week .
bench to 225 1 max
