Your Gym Routine

[Thom]

I know that a few of you here go to the gym, so what's your routine?

I joined mine about 5/6 weeks ago, so I'm just getting into the swing of things, and I do the following 3 times a week. I don't know the names of the machines, so I'll try and give a brief description.

(All weights are approximations, I don't remember exactly)

Bicep Curls: 3 x 12 reps, 3 or 4 times per session, 19.5kg (I think?), moved up to 23kg yesterday, so I'll see how that goes.

Pec deck: 3 x 12 reps, 3 or 4 times per session, 16kg + the smaller weight that you can pin in.

Lat pull-down: 3 x 12 reps, 3 times per session, 36kg

Lat push-up: 3 x 12 reps, 2 or 3 times per session, 16kg

Leg Extension: 3 x 12 reps, 2 times per session, 26kg

Leg Curl: 3 x 12 reps, 2 times per session, 36kg

Cycle Machine: 15minutes Fat Burner program, Level 13. Usually about 8.5kg but ibviously improves with time.

200 stomach crunches with a cradle to make sure I do them properly.

Later on I'm having a 1 on 1 with my trainer and he's going to show me some free-weight exercises, concentrating on my biceps, chest and abs. Never been to a gym before this one, and so far I'm really enjoying it. What do you all do?

I would love to go to the gym, I might go in a few weeks.Then I would concentrate on my arms.

I sit around and eat Doritos all day. And play Day of Defeat.

[bigpoppn]

MMMMM, Doritos.The new salt and pepper dip chips is awesome!

[Subrick]

I like Nacho Cheese. Gotta go with the classic.

[manDude]

I like the new hot wings / blue cheese collisions

But normally I do curls about 25 lbs on each arm 15/3

I just typically do my own workout at home, nearly everyday depending on how busy I am etc.
