I'm new here so a big hello to one and all.
I've just started into the world of eating right and exercising. Three days a week I do cardio, and the other three I weight lift. Diet wise I am following the south beach diet.
Concerning my lifting though, I think, as I found out on monday, that I my be doing too much for someone so inexperienced to lifting (not to say I don't have the knowledge from all the reading, just not the real world experience of what works and doesn't work for me if that makes sense).
Monday was leg day, and this is what I did.
squats 3 x 8
Romanian deadlift 3 x 8
Leg Press 3 x 8
Leg Curl 3 x 8
Leg Extension 3 x 8
Well, it's a couple days later and I am still wobbily and sore as hell. It got me to thinking that maybe I've been doing too much, and perhaps a more simpler routine would be better.
I've designed one below that I would like critiqued. It's a simply full body routine.
MONDAY
Squat
Leg Curl
Incline Bench Press
Pull Ups
Military Press
Straight Bar Curl
Weighted Crunch
WEDNESDAY
Leg Press
Romanian Deadlift
Bent Row
Dips
Side Lateral Raise
Close Grip Bench Press
Standing Calf Raise
FRIDAY
Deadlift
Leg Curl
Flat Bench Press
Chin Ups
Military Press
Straight Bar Curl
Weighted Reverse Crunch
Figure about 2-3 sets for each lift, with 8 reps. Abs/calves I will go as high as 15 on.
So how do things look?
Thanks for the help guys.
