what routines everyone on? looking for a new 12 week one

 

muscle building

 

I stopped my muscle group routine and changed to the following a little over a year ago.  Made a lot of progress in strength and size, although the latter is slower I'm patient.

 

Day 1

Bench Press

Deadlifts

Close grip pull ups/L-Sit pull ups

Leg raises

 

Day 2

Muscle ups

Squats

Weighted pull ups

Calf raises (normal or sing leg)

 

Day 3

Weighted dips

Weighted chin ups

Diamond press ups with feet elevated

Crunches

Plank

Russian twists

L Sit holds (if my body can manage it)

 

Want to learn handstands since I'm lacking on a main shoulder exercise (dumbbell shoulder press hasn't always agreed with me but may have to ease it in), but most of the exercises in my routine hit multiple groups.  I love going gym a lot more and don't get bored since pretty much every exercise I love doing (bar bench, it's hands down my least favourite exercise).

 

May have to change this routine up though as I start studying this month.

Early morning is great for lots of reasons, not just the fact you're actually working out.

 

Man who roll gym in the evening can never chat to me.

[Yoshie]

I don't have the drive for it, can't get up at 06:00 if I know I can sleep in till 07:30.

Tried again this morning with no luck. Probably need to get a better alarm.

Try these:

 

1) Go to sleep earlier (obvious)

 

2) Put your gym shoes next to your bed

 

The feeling it will give you to be in the gym (with a few older OGs, as they're the ones who normally do it too) while everyone else is snoring away twiddling their thumbs will give you a sense of pride about your discipline.

[Yoshie]

Bag was packed already, tbh I've always had a hard time waking up.

But the feeling of going in to work and saying you've been up for three hours and hit the gym>__

 

I need that.

[MetaFives]

Morning is me.

Finding it so difficult to actually get out of bed recently though then I feel bad throughout the day for not getting up and then repeat the next day...

[FinalBawse]

That and Yoshie situation echoes mine.

except I gotta get up at like 5.30 / 6 depending on the day to make gym the work at 9.

Been going ok but last week was a stuggle, walked past my gym bag this morn as i woke even later than norm smh.

Its my sleep, them times when im setting down at 1, waking up 5 hours later is a myth and i know it.

[FinalBawse]

But i do always reach the gym near my house, just its packed all the time and i need the squat rack for a good hour.

[YFSD]

Heero Guy, how did the Animal Pak work for you?

 

and has anyone had any experience with testosterone boosters? 

[Heero Yuy]

Animal was/is great, no negative side affects and definitely helped with gains, the strength boost is crazy aswell. But you need to make sure your diets on point otherwise you won't really see any good benefit.

 

Before flu knocked me off my feet and christmas period hit I had put on 3/4lbs in about 6 weeks and I'm a real hard gainer when it comes to putting on mass.

 

You only have to read the reviews on various different sites to see that it's a certified product.

[gattsu]

So I've decided to actually give a pre workout a go,

Coffee ain't been doing it recently recently, been so tired by time I get to the gym

So what can I take that won't give me a heart attack

[Lens]

so weird to read that everyone's on the AM gym thing and having the same problem as me. 

 

setting my alarm for 5:30am, turning off my alarm at 5:30 am, thinking "fuck it, I'll wake up when I need to go work"

 

missing a gym day

 

 

but came to ask, any suggestions for working one's back without also working one's legs?

[Yoshie]

Managed to get in the gym this morning for 06:10. 

Surprised how many people were there, but it's so much quieter, waltzed onto the squat rack.

Got to work 30 mins early rather than 30 mins late.

This life>_

[Badman]

Always thought early gym sessions are calm?

 

Used to go every Tuesday at 7am before work. Fitness first in Leyton. By the time I got there gym was always half full.

 

Gonna start doing it again when I sort out my next contract 

[underwriter]

fuck morning gym

 

people who do that are just weird in the head
