How does the saying go..."Failure to plan is planning to fail"? Going to the gym without knowing exactly what needs to be done is a recipe for dissappointing results. One of the best ways to get results is to have a workout plan. This way your workouts don't turn into a namby-pamby-wander around the gym-do whatever machine looks pretty-routine.
This is one of the best workout plans around, done in this order:
- Squats
- 1 legged calf raises
- Standing Overhead Barbell Presses
- Pullups
- Standing Overhead Barbell Presses
- Pullups
- Bench Press
- Rows
- Bench Press
- Rows
- Parallel Dips
- Barbell Curls
- Parallel Dips
- Barbell Curls
- Stiff Legged Dead Lifts
- Ab Crunches
Keep track of every workout writing down the number of reps/weight used on each exercise. Do each exercise slowly and smoothly. Use 10 reps for upper body exercises and 20 reps for lower body exercises as a guidline but never stop just because you've reached them. Keep going until you can't move the weight with good form with all out effort. Write the number of reps/weight used. Then the next time you workout, try and beat what your previous workout was in reps and/or weights. If you follow this type of plan each time you workout, you'll see more results in a month than most see in a year!
