  • Don't get me wrong, I can see from your point of view. I have seen, although conflicting, articles online that have said you should only work your legs once a week. And I am working the back three times. I was actually concerned that I was over doing my back! Here is the established plan my plan is based off;…
  • Like I said, its based on what equipment I know the gym has and what I am capable of doing, since I am a noob. The workouts that I am doing at the gym, whether its free weights or machines, I know the areas they are working. Therefore the plan is pretty much following a basic Monday; Chest, biceps, Tuesday; Triceps, Legs…
  • Maybe should have made it abit clearer! I am really just looking for advice from all the more experienced people on here :)
  • One of the personal trainers at my gym told me to include at least 30 minutes of high-intensity cardio into my routine. For example, Mondays I work my chest and biceps, so after this I assume he means high-intensity cardio using the gym equipment. From this I gather that any full body cardio working machines could be used…
  • Cheers everyone, there are some wicked responses in here! I am not solely using the rower to work on my abs, however if it will help alongside the other things I am doing then I will keep it up!

  • Thanks Chadomaniac, you made the most sense :D
  • What would you suggest for a full body/strength training bearing in mind my stats that are listed? Age:21, 5'10 height and 10 stone
  • Okay thanks for your input. If I want to define my chest and stuff I will now take on-board what you all said reassess my routine. Also, I didn't mean that cycling would give me what I wanted, what I meant by this was cycling along with my current strength training. I didn't know about muscle loss.
  • Thanks guys for your quick responses! Like I said I am not really here to lose weight but definitely want to lose the fat for sure! If I stick to my stationary bike routine of 30 minutes a day I am under the impression that this will burn the layer of fat on my belly and chest which I need to lose in order to get the…
