  • This week was/is:

    Mon: Back/abs
    Tues: 30 min. Cardio/shoulders (was supposed to do legs but we were short on time)
    Wed: 3 hours pole dancing lessons (we were going to go to the gym this a.m. but it's tri day and tri+pulling body weight up on pole = not cool! LOL)
    Thurs: 30 min. cardio/tris/legs
    Fri: (If we get up early enough) 30 min. cardio/bi's/abs

    Start over Monday with Chest/legs (Saturday was chest day)

    I do different exercises/use different equipment each time. I'll do free weights one week, cable, smith press (don't have a squat rack and NO I am NOT going to go to a different gym just because it lacks that one particular piece of equipment. That's ludicrous IMO). Legs and abs I'll do different exercises as well.

    30 min. of cardio before works for me because if I don't do it before I won't do it at all and I have not felt that my lifting has suffered or that I can't lift heavy.

    I typically do 3 sets of 10 on the lifting (or 10/8/6), going up in weight each set. I lift until failure and if I can only get 3 reps out on the heaviest weight I then drop it down and finish it out. The next week I'll do the same weight and try to get 4 on the heaviest and just keep working it up that way before upping the weight again.

    2x10 clean jerk and press
    2x10 squats
    2x10 lunges
    2x10 tricep extensions

    Same here. Though I do try to add a HIIT session at least once a week.

    Each workout is different, since my goal is "general physical preparedness". But typically it's a full-body workout every 2-3 days that includes:

    3-4 sets of legs, including one lunge and 1 plyometric set
    2 pushing sets
    2 pulling sets, including 1 bent-over row
    1-2 shoulder sets
    1 core set

    Almost all sets are done standing, for maximum functionality.

    On non-lifting days i do various cardio & metabolic work (agility ladder, medicine ball slams, battling ropes, etc).
    Short runs throughout the day on most days.

    AllPro's Simple Beginner Routine -

    "Originally Posted by allpro

    A Simple beginner's Routine

    You will do 3 work outs per week on non consecutive days. The first work out is your heavy work out. The second work out is your medium work out, use 10% less weight for your work sets. The final work out for the week is your lite work out, use 20% less weight.

    Do a lite warm up with 1/4 of your work sets weight. Do a medium warm up with 1/2 of your work sets weight. Do 2 work sets with the same weight. Choose a starting weight and start light.

    These are the seven exercises you will be starting with.

    Squats
    Bench Presses
    Bent-Over Rows
    Overhead Barbell Presses
    Stiff-Legged Deadlifts
    Barbell Curls
    Calf Raises

    You will be running this program on a five week cycle as follows:
    The first week do all 4 sets for 8 reps.
    The second week do all 4 sets for 9 reps.
    The third week do all 4 sets for 10 reps.
    The fourth week do all 4 sets for 11 reps.
    The fifth week do all 4 sets for 12 reps.

    If you got all of the required reps on the fifth week then increase the weight by 10% and repeat the cycle. If you didn't get all of the reps on the fifth week then repeat the cycle with the same weight. You shouldn't need more than one minute rest between the warm up sets and you shouldn't need more than one minute thirty seconds between the work sets.

    Do some cardio and abs work on non weight training days."

    I lift and do a little cardio every other day, alternating between two workouts (roughly, legs and shoulders on one day, chest and back on the other.) Then I do 60-90 minutes of cardio on the in-between days. My goal right now is still weight loss (male, 6'4", 223 lbs as of this morning), so I'm eating at a pretty substantial deficit (1500 net calories/day) and have pretty much stalled in all my lifts. Once I get down under 200lbs or so, I plan to start eating more and doing Wendler's 5/3/1 to get a bit stronger, before switching back to cutting. Anyway, here are my workouts, with my (admittedly wimpy) working weights:

    Workout A:
    5x10 squat (155 lbs)
    5x5 DL (225 lbs)
    5x10 OHP (80 lbs)
    5x10 upright row (80 lbs)
    30-45 minutes cardio

    Workout B:
    5x10 chest press (155 lbs)
    5x10 incline DB press (100 lbs)
    5x10 flys (55-70 lbs, depending on the machine or dumbells)
    5x10 lat pulldown (140 lbs)
    5x10 bent-over row (100 lbs)
    5x10 cable row (120 lbs)
    30-45 minutes cardio
