Does anyone here go to the gym?

What workouts do you do?

I'm mostly into my cardio and abdominal exercises. I attend to the gym 4 or 5 times a week.

Today is my day off. I usually do 1 hour on the treadmill at the speed of 12.0 and 30 minutes on the bike.

I go at 6 am in the morning

7 days a week? lol your body won't get time to recover or build muscle, you need at least 2-3 days of rest to get max results

Egads! No!.....I will do 2 hours of cardio in the morning. Then afetr work or at around 7pm or so i will go to the gym and weight lift. So on average i will have a 8-12 break between workouts.

I don't think i could pick up a 5 pound weight after 2 hours of cardio

It has taken me yearrrrrrsssss to get where i am at now.

I am a pretty big dude......and i am not talking cellulite

God bless.

Depends on how long you have trained your body. I don't work out has hard on the weekends.

nBut that is the only break i will give myself.

Plus.....10 pounds of creatine, and good supplements always help

Hey Pool! Glad to see you again man. I go to the gym. Here is what I do:

SS Modified. (Version of Starting Strength I made for my own gains):

SS Modified for Clover:

A-Days
Squat: 3x8
Bench: 3x8, 2x5
Dead: 2x8
Dumbbell Shrugs: 3x5, 2x10

B-Days:
Squat: 3x8
SBOP: 3x8, 2x5
Barbell Rows: 5x3, 3x5
Barbell Curls: 3x8

Then when I go back to Boxing we do this:

3-3 min rounds skipping rope
5 sets of 10 reps Ab Wheel
250 Kneel Ups (Calf Ups)
3-3 minute rounds Shadow Boxing (w/ 3lb dumbbells)
3-2 min rounds heavy bag
4/6-30 second rounds heavy bag (burnouts)
Then you can practice on whatever you want, including sparring.

For cardio, I do Speed Walking, Jogging/Running, and Cycling (machine, not bike). I plan to add a Elliptical to this to take it easier on my knees (they slide in and out, he said it'd "heal" over time...)
