Back to the iron today. I do not have a planned schedule of what I'm going to do, but basically it boils down to doing a full body workout. 4 exercises. 3 or 4 sets each exercise. Reps in the 8-12 range.
Today I started off with front squats. 135 lbs, 3 x 8, 1 x 6. I then moved straight into incline barbell bench press. 115 lbs, 2 x 8, 1 x 5. Next I supersetted pullups (not to be confused with chin ups) 3 x 6 and upright rows 45 lbs, 3 x 8.
I read once that Bruce Lee liked to alternate exercises so that you get blood flow throughout the entire body. Which is why I did legs, then chest, then back, then shoulders. His physique was one of the best ever, so who's to argue?
Lastly, I plan on doing some sort of cardio between lifting days. However, it was rainy yesterday and quite frankly I hate cardio. I did some stretching exercises for about 15 minutes to loosen up the sore muscles from the previous days lift.
I think the most important thing isn't about what kind of exercises or weight or rep range. consistancy as well as strict form is more important. Never forget though, that diet is probably THE number one factor in improving your physique. You are what you eat!
