Leg days:
Squat 6 sets. Pyramid the weight.

Leg Curls (do we still need to do these?)

Behind the neck press- How many sets again? 6 like the squat?

Dumbell rows (the ones you told me to do with the bench inclined) 6 sets.

Seated dumbell lift- You know the one were we keep our head on our chest. 6 sets?

Arm Chest and Back Days
Bench- For my cousin. 6 sets?

Dumbell Press for me- 6 sets?

Chest Fly- 4 sets of 8

Drag Curl- How many sets of what on all my Curls?

Alternate Curl-

Preacher Curl-

Tricep kick back- 3 sets of 10

Scull crushers- 3 sets of 10

Why are you doing pussy bodybuilding work? (sorry Dmar)

What are you trying to accomplish? Because if strength and fitness are your goals you're spending waaaaaay too much time on exercises that just don't matter. If your goal is to be a bodybuilder, ignore me.

Here are some basic rules (in no order)

1. Train on your feet, not sitting or lying down.
2. Exercise your body like an inetgrated machine, not a disconnected series of body parts. That means compound exercises that use massive amounts of muscle. Squats, deadlifts, cleans, snatches, squat to a press, overhead squats, clean and jerks, things like that.
3. One hour workouts three and no more than four times per week. If you aren't exhausted in an hour? You're not working hard enough and need to turn up the intensity.
4. 5-6 exercises per session and that's it.
5. Work HARD. I think I'm gonna vomit, I am getting lightheaded but I can get one more rep hard.

And snatches, clean and jerks, presses etc. have nada to do with powerlifting. It's training functionally, training the body the way one actually uses it. Training to BE physically adept and fit and strong rather than LOOKING physically adept.

But I'll shut up.

I just wanna LOOK physically adept.

I do arm curls, push-ups, and then run 2 miles 4-5 times a week. I drink Muscle Milk also since i get a discount for it working for Pepsi. Who knows if it actually works but its good. Also bought one of those Ab belts. I look like a 100 bucks right now.
