How many times a week do you train with weights ?
How long is each weight training session ?
How many sessions / exercises do you dedicate to training legs, back and chest ?
Do you do any cardio ?
Do you track your diet - i.e calories ?
I usually train 3-4 times, sometimes 3-2
Each weight training session is about one hour and 30 minutes
My routine :
***For most i perform 4 sets of 12 reps and for each a warm up at 60% of weight unless otherwiese
1. Close Grip Dumbbell Bench Press
2. Alternate Incline Dumbbell Curl
3. Barbell Squats ( Recently switched from Deadlifts to squats, i felt the effect from it was greater.
4. Barbell Bench Press (4 sets of 10)
5. clean and jerk (im not so sure if thats the official name of it) (4 sets of 7-8)
6. Crunches ( 2 sets of 75 then 1 set of 50)
I use to do cardio, but i stopped
Im not sure about my calorie intake, i usally tend to eat id say around 2000 a day, sometimes less, around 1700.
When people say diet is an important factor of weight training, what do they mean by that? I think of it as eating healthy like veggies, and lean meat, is that all there is to it? sometimes i would eat fatty foods, cause i think to myself im not really overweight so its no problem if i ate those foods at times.
