I did it all as one set then resting.... so
20 reps 135 lb bench
20 reps 185 lb squat
20 reps 95 lb clean and press

then 2 minute rest and repeat for 3 total cycles.... really similar to crossfit. and with crossfit, that is the leanest I have ever gotten.

 

that is a similar workout to what i did tonight....although your weights are higher.

Here is mine:

3.10 mile run (5k) = 26:45 time (not too bad for me)

Then:

25 reps x 100 bench (half body weight)
15 reps x leg raises (full)
Pushups to Fail

4 sets....rest was a walk to water fountain/wipe my face and then back to the bench Burned 1040 calories from the start of the run to the end of the last set.

 

Cool. Pearl, just saw your post. I've always had in the back of my head a big weight gain as an experiment. Living walking distance to a beach, fear of gaining fat and hurting biking performance always kind of led me to sabotage the idea.

I moved to Seattle, no one is gonna see me with my shirt off now, lol!

I'm not lifting particularly heavy. Chest has been 75-80 lb db press and machine work. Smith machine squats 185, leg curls and 1 leg squats for hams/ glutes and some kb work for the back.

 

Got it.. Those are called Super-Sets

 

Okay y'all, I'm a total workout n00b, but I would like to start working out. I'm 6'2" 180lbs. I've worked out a few times before, but never repeatedly enough to establish a routine. I don't want to get massive or anything, just have lean muscle and be tone. What sort of a workout schedule and diet would you recommend? Rep will be given to any help!

 

Eat lean meats, nuts, leafy green vegetables, a shitload of water (half gallon daily or more), cut out: breads and white flour products, sugars, starches, etc. Work out hard and rest often (3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off is one split example). PM if you have specific questions.

 

Repped and PM sent

 

hmmmm... kind of, similar... But, if your going to super set something you would be doing something like Bi and tri... 10 reps on curls, 10 reps on tri extension...

I wouldnt really classify this as super sets. more of c training

 

you want to put on some mass? try the wendler program... and ditch the smith machine squats... no good for knees

 

I suppose you're right, I was just thinking b/c your three exercises are somewhat common to working together as you're pretty much running a 1,000 pound club routine / strong lift program.

Any reason to why you're doing C&P's in that routine instead of deadlifts?
