+1 for that! Work your legs and your gains will improve. Don't think I'm trying to attack you, but not working your legs when you're trying to put on mass is just not good. Not only will this lead to disproportionate gains, it will also lead to injuries down the road, and those you certainly want to avoid.

Just trying to give good advice.

EDIT* looks like with my slow typing someone already beat me to my response. Sorry for the redundancy.

 

Although, this was intended as a thread for discussion about all exercises and training schedules, I appreciate the honesty and your pointers. I might put together a different routine just to try some of you tips.

Now, post up you ideas of a great workout!

 

LOL! You've got more than a couple iron heads in here bro!!
I've fought, and up until last year, coached! So I've always got an opinion on training! Well... and pretty much everything else as well.

 

It's always appreciated! Like I stated before, I've always been very active in teamsports with a lot of leg training and I when I started with weights my priority was to gain upper body muscles since I've always had a fair amount of leg muscles. Now that the upper body are catching-up with my legs I'm going to start training those as well.

I guess, what I'm trying to say is that I haven't been proportional before with "to much leg muscles" and no upper body muscles.

 

Yeah I know, that's why I was trying to get a serious discussion on the roll

You don't say .

 

As soon as I have more time this afternoon, I'll look forward to throwing in!!

Wind Sprints

 

I do 3 days of lifting and 2 days of sprints. Getting ready for the summer.

 

Actually not a bad thread at all, however, I wasn't kidding about the spray tan thread.

 

After years of varying number of days and schedules, I find 3 days of weight training with cardio/abs and a 4th day of just cardio/abs works best. Anything more then that and I felt I was over training. Here is my routine, always open to some constructive criticism:

Day 1
Chest:
4 sets Barbell flat bench
4 sets Barbell incline bench
3 sets dumbbell fly (rotate flat and incline)

Tris:
3 sets of dips
3 sets skull crushers
3 sets of behind the head dumbbell press

Day 2
Back:
4 sets of pull ups
4 sets of traditional style deadlifts
4 sets of seated row

Bis:
3 sets of seat dumbbell curls
3 sets of preacher curls
3 sets of concentration curls

Day 3
Shoulders:
3 sets of seated dumbbell press
3 sets of side/front dumbbell raises
3 sets of shrugs

Legs:
5 sets of squats

After every day I do 3 sets of sit ups with a medicine ball on a decline bench and 3 sets of leg raises, followed by 10-12 miles on the bike. I also take pilates which has been the best thing I have ever done for my back problems.

My leg routine probably seems a little light, but coupled with the bike and pilates I have gotten the best results.
