    i do full body compound lifts 3 days a week

    workout A : 5 sets of 5 reps : squats, Pullups, pushups, over head press

    Workout B : beginning Olympic lifts : light weight to failure while I get the form correct : overhead squats, snatches, hang clean, push press, power clean, romanian deadlifts. i usually add some turkish get ups at the end of this too because i'm find that really helps with my shoulder issues and building balance

    workout C : 5 sets of 5 reps deadlifts, BB row, bench press, overhead press

    What wolfpack77 said. but my dips and chins are assisted - working my way to bodyweight! I don't do military press or calf raises - I do leg extensions and stiff leg deadlifts.

    reverse pull ups
    Leg Extension
    Leg Curls
    Chest Press
    Row
    Biceps and triceps-extensions and dips
    lat pull downs

    I haven't got one yet. I've just started so I just do squats, bench presses and dead lifts all with dumb bells. I just do it randomly and don't really count my sets/reps.

    I do cross fit type workouts 2-3 days a week, 1-2 days just cardio (usually involving tennis, basketball, or ultimate frisbee), and 2 days of heavy lifting full body.

    It usually goes like this..

    M- Heavy lift
    T- cross fit-personal training
    W- cross fit-personal training
    T- cardio
    F- cross fit- personal training
    S- Heavy lift
    S- cardio

    If I skip a day.. It's usually Thursday.
