My progress.

Recommended Posts

So I've decided to get back into the gym after awhile. I started using the JEFit app on my ipod/Note 2, it's a great app that has tons of submitted workout profiles, you can also make your own, it tracks your progress, suggests where you should be hitting after X weight. It's pretty awesome. Also it syncs your data to their website so whether you use your ipod one day or your android device another day it'll all be up to date.

I work out 5 days a week which usually looks like

 

Mon: Chest & Tricepts

Tue: legs and Abs

Wed: Back And Abs

Thu: Biceps and shoulders

Fri: Run day

Sat: rest

Sun Rest.

 

So monday: 

Bench Press 5 sets of 6x125 lbs

Incline bench 3 sets 8x95lbs

Dumbbell Bench 3 sets 8x60

Incline dumbbell bench 3 x 8x50

Dumbbell Fly 3 sets 8x15

Dumbbell Standing Tricep Extensions 3 sets 15x20

Tricep Pull Downs 9 sets x 8x70

Barbell Tricep Extensions 3 sets 8x120 8x135 4x150

Bench Press Close grip  3 sets 8x60

2 mile Sprint/Runs

Realistically just trying to get bigger and stronger. My goal isn't really to cut weight a bunch just be able to lift more lol. 

I've been gaining for the past 2-3 weeks atleast 25-55lbs per work out in most cases.  I just use JEfit to keep track of my progress each week and try to add 25 or more pounds on what I could do the week before.

If you go into the routines there is TONS of stuff, I just use the basic intermediate routines with some added cardio

I downloaded a few different routines so I could steal some new exercises... I don't like using some of these machines... barbell, cables, and dumbbells

Awesome progress and good luck!

 

I hope you don't mind, but recently I've came across some guys on youtube and they are awesome. I've started this workout they have and I've noticed a LOT of gains I've never been able to achieve. I'm at the end of week 5 as of current and I love it, already have gained a solid 7-10lbs of muscle and have just continually been growing.

I usually go for multiples instead of maxing out for one or two.
