In re: Workouts

  • Karen, I noticed your split, with the two days off, is that working really well for you. I still workout six days a week and am hoping to get my waistline down some more! I went down one size since Tom's initial show, when I got together with the L&S gang here in Jersey.
    I often wonder about taking another day of rest out of the week the way I train, but for now will continue to train six days a week. Do you do strictly BFL or are you modified.
    By the way, you sure have some great ideas, I have been searching through your posts here, this seems like a very warm fuzzy group.
    Hugs,
    Marie
  • It is a warm and fuzzy group. I will let mrsjim answer about her routine but it is not strict BFL. I too am thinking about the 4 day split so hopefully she hurries back from southern ca and answers this!!!
  • Hi there!
    Marie - the routine I'm doing is the one Pam started recently. After she posted it at L&S I decided to give it a whirl since I felt it was time for a change...since Feb/March I had been doing the following:

    Mon - chest/tris
    Tues - Legs
    Weds - back/bis
    Thurs - shoulders/abs/calves
    Fri - chest/tris
    Sat - Legs
    Sun - rest
    Mon - back/bis
    Tues - shoulders/abs/calves

    Etc.

    Now I'm doing:

    Mon - chest/quads
    Tues - shoulders/abs/calves
    Weds - back/hams
    Thurs - rest
    Fri - Bis/tris
    Sat - rest
    Sun - chest/quads...etc...

    So far I like it breaking the legs up into separate days allows me to focus on each separate part, ya know?

    On rest days, I do cardio - I also do cardio on bi/tri and shoulder/abs/calves days.
  • Karen, that looks really good to me, I think part of my problem is I work so hard and don't allow enough time for recovery. The food is really good now, I am eating all whole foods, nothing liquid. I think whole unprocessed foods are good for me. I feel full and the weight is starting to melt, I can tell when my body heats up. My workouts have always been good, I love lifting, I am thinking it would be a nice reprieve so on my next cycle after the holidays, I will try that. Do you all post workouts and such? I was wondering, I have been using a different sort of workout for my shoulders and they are coming in nicely, that is my weak point.
    Hugs,

  • If you look through the last couple of weeks threads you can see our workouts. Either that or post on the current thread and most people will post their workouts again.
