Popular Post sirineou 18451 Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 Actually, I always hated doing legs, Now with covid here in the US, I set up a gym at home and workout there, (actually I look at it a lot) but when I went to the Gym the one thing my trainer always yelled at me was " you need to do more legs " true quote , he would say "I know people like chicken legs, but not on you" LOL 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

jdlancaster 168 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I lift 3 days a week. My program right now has me start with a different lift each day, all competition style (squat, bench, or deadlift)... Then 2 accessory lifts (e.g. paused squats, close grip bench, higher rep ranges, etc.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

connda 18545 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Depends on the day. Basic: Large muscle group working down to isolated small muscle groups. And warm up before you do anything. Edited December 22, 2020 by connda 1 Link to post Share on other sites

5633572526 987 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Coffee is the first thing I lift every morning after that it’s all about what is available when I get to the gym. It’s not a social event for me so I want to get through my routine as quickly as possible and get on with my day so splitting reps or waiting around until someone else is finished is not for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

BigStar 1909 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 What a dead forum. Starting with bench press probably reflects insecurity over one's pecs. For me the starting exercise (after warmup) depends on which split of 3. Lower body: deadlifts, ha. Squats come next last, just before leg extensions to balance the knee strain. Upper: pulldowns (extending shoulder warmup) > military press > rows > bench press--similar balance concept. Cardio & abs: intervals, etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know you are American due to how you typed. Correct me if I am wrong. Yeah I never really questioned why I start with bench, I guess it's habit. Normally, rather than resting for awhile, I do either back extensions or sit-ups in between sets. Speaking about 'warmup,' I'm starting to be more inclined to warm up myself. Interesting for your lower body as I think doing leg press/extension before squat is the way to go. Yeah for uppers I usually do towards the end. Do you bring anything to drink?

I even suggest coffee before too. Link to post Share on other sites

As I mentioned before I suggest to keep lifting and do more lower body! Make up for those insecurities and personality you have! Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
