|
|
im 6'3" male and 170lbs. im trying to lose about 5-10lbs of fat and put on some lean muscle. i train anywhere from 5-6 a week but the days for exercises can switch but mainly stay the same. a typical week usually goes like this:
Monday: Tennis (solo wall)-moderate 40-45min
Basketball (solo)-moderate-45-50min
2 min sprint to end workout
Tuesday:GYM! full body workout and i like to mix things up but generally the workout is for about 40-50min-moderate
Elliptical Machine for about 20-25min
Wednesday:same as monday
thursday: same as tuesday
Friday:same as monday
saturday: backyard boxing workout. includes six 3min rounds of heavy bag-vigorous and immediate weight for tone (60lb curl bar) includes clean and jerk, bicep curl, shoulder press, and pushups/crunches 3 sets of all exercises
sunday: rest of course
please critique this plan and let me know what to add or change. i have school so i have to do workouts after when i tend to be less than full energy. im pretty serious so i hardly miss a workout and to date ive lost 50lbs doing this in about 6 months but still want to know how to optimize my workouts. thanks. |

- don't go for time for conditioning stuff, go for quality
- i'd do the gym 3/week and the conditioning 2/week with boxing 1/week
- there's no such thing as tone and if there is then crunches and curls aren't gonna do it
- if tyou've already lost 50pds from doing this than the chances are you probaby won't lose much more from it
- for a wts program search The Waterbury Method by Chad Waterbury
- just mix the conditioning stuff up with different activities / exercises which is a bit hard with tennis but see what you can do |

| ive completely redone all of my diet and workouts since last month and now have a new dilemma...which is better for fat loss split workout (3days) weeks or full body workouts (3days) with cardio on odd days? hiit it also added to the end of each workout regardless of the workout |
