I know that there are a lot of well established plans, and I have followed several on Bodybuilding.com for example, but I thought that this could be helpful for anyone wanting to branch out and customize one for their goals. Sometimes it just makes a workout more enjoyable and productive.

*never a BAD idea to mix up your routine*, sorry

^^^^That is the best way that I have found to do them too. I don't do the eff-your-wrists nonsense. Also, regarding Zerchers- I think they are primarily a squat that places a lot more emphasis on your core than some other variants.

It is perfectly fine to do push/pull/legs over a three day period. It is all dependent on your goals, time flexibility, and such. I just spread it out over a six day period only because it is possible to do so if desired. Its a also never a good idea to mix up your routine frequently as long as the muscles are continuously…

I make a habit of going directly to the gym right when I leave work at 5pm during the week. It keeps me from going home and getting comfy- I don't even think about it because it is just a part of my routine. Just take a gym bag with you and hit it!

Lovely!

I usually am in the gym for an hour and a half to two hours, six days a week. It is never a bad idea to take a "deload" week where you cut your weights back to 50% of what you would normally lift, just to keep them activated but not working as hard. This can serve the same purpose as a rest period, without the struggle of…

By all means, feel free to add me! Long time gym rat here and in the process of getting my personal trainer cert through ISSA! Can always use more mfp friends and am always happy to help with both support or advice. =)

Personally, I enjoy the elliptical a lot because it is more seamless to do HIIT on than a treadmill (IMO) and it is also easier on me. I have tight Achilles tendons and a high arch, so running is not impossible, but can be uncomfortable if I do it for long periods of time on a treadmill or outdoors. Just another great tool…

Hello there- I just posted a primer on the benefits of strength training and am going to be putting together a set of sample plans for beginners to help anyone in your shoes. Just felt a need to share some knowledge and what has worked for me in the past few years since I started! Hopefully won't take me too long, just…

Very much so- I think it is important to get up to a target heart rate for fat loss, but going past that for longer than short periods (hence the premise of HIIT) is very counter productive.

If you are trying to add muscle, then the general rule is about 1g per lb of body weight. Maybe 1.5 at the very most. Keep carbs at about that same quantity. At least two days a week, dial back the carbs to only 50-100g and up fats. Personally, I think the best ratio is 35% Protein, 35% Carbs, 30% Fat. If you cut back on…

IMHO 1200 calories is far too low. You are likely stalling your metabolism and making further weight loss difficult. I would add more calories but look how your macros (protein, fat, carbs) are coming into play. Keep protein high to support muscle (more muscle present means more fat burned) time your carb intake to right…

Hello everyone- My name is Jeremy. I am a 30 year old guy from Billings MT. I am an avid fitness and gym-goer and have been into it for about 5 years. On top of that I love all things to do with Russia and the former USSR- history, culture, language, collectibles and am also very big into rock and metal music, with…

Dymatize ISO-100 is my absolute favorite Protein. Will probably never stray from it. =P
