Hello,
Today during my workout routine I realized I am over working myself too much. My routine takes anywhere between an hour and 2 hours. I have been reading around the site and now am doubting my workout rountine. I have been seeing results, but what I really want to do is maximize my workouts for the best muscle mass and building. Anyways, a little about myself first:
18 Years old
5'11, somewhere between 140-145lbs.
My equipment:
Weight Bench
2 changeable-weight dumbbells (the ones where you can adjust how much the weigh)
Swissball
Tredmill
Elliptical
Nice, soft yoga mat =)
My routine:
Bench Press: 3-5 sets, 10 reps.
Chest fly (just added this a week ago): 3-5 sets, 15 reps.
Military Bench Press(added this today): 5 sets, 10 reps.
Dips(added this a week ago): 5-8 sets, 15 reps.
Bicep Curl w/ weight bar: 5-8 sets, 10 reps.
Crunches w/ swissball: 5 sets, 25 reps.
I do my routine every other day.
I drink a protein shake after every workout.
I stretch before and after every workout.
Cardio: I usually run on a tredmill for 5-10 minutes before workout.
I used to use an elliptical to lose weight that worked out pretty well.
My eating habits are pretty bad. But here's the basics to what I eat:
Breakfast: Bowl of cherrio's with no-fat milk.
Lunch: Usually combined with my breakfast because I have been waking up around noon.
Dinner: Usually healthy foods, vegies, meat, sometimes macoroni-type foods.
My sleeping habits are pretty bad too, up too late at night, and awaken some where around noon.
My goals:
To add muscle mass, tighten the shirts around my muscles =).
I am prepared to isolete myself from the outer world for a couple of months (before college anyways) because friends seem to have a bad influence on eating habits. Also, packing away the xbox 360 is an option too.
You'll have to excuse my bad spelling, i'm tired as it's 1:35AM =).
-Thanks for all the help!
Oh, I forgot to add, please don't point to me to articles and such if you can, because they usually confuse me and make me doubt my workouts even more.
