| I lift 3 days a week and do cardio another 1-2 days. Since my work sked. is crazy, I usually do a total body routine that hits all the major muscle groups. I focus on compound multi-joint exercises like squats and deadlifts and rarely do any isolation exercises like curls or triceps extensions; maybe 1 exercise for biceps and 1 for triceps each week. I keep my rest periods short, no longer than 60-75 seconds and will also throw in some supersets to really get my heart rate up. It's also good b/c like D, I despise cardio so by doing this type of routine, I don't have to worry about doing cardio. If I skip a cardio session, it's not the end of the world.
Let me know what programs you guys follow. Where do you guys get your info. from? |
