My Workout Routine

I go the the gym almost daily.  Why?  Because I feel good every time I go to the gym and I feel great when I'm done.  I also feel confident about myself.  Though, I do not do your standard body building.  I do more of a conditioning type of work out.  I am not a professional trainer or anything, but I just want to share what I am doing.  My goal is to have a swimmers body without swimming.

The reason I don't swim often is because it is hard.  The pool is cold and the availability of a pool is sometimes scarce, for whatever reasons.  That, and the cholorine in the water is bad for my skin/health.  That is why I prefer not to swim in the pool that often.  See, our skin is like a sponge and it absorbes what ever we put on it.

Anyhow, this is my  workout routine. Everything is done at 2-3 sets @ 20 reps each.

1.  Stretching: Stretching is important and it gives you better results than without stretching.

2. Abs.  I use an angled bench to do upside down crunches.  I only lift my shoulders using my abs.  2-3 sets.  Then 2-3 sets of leg lifts on a flat or angled bench.

3.  Chest.  Bench press with 95-105lb barbell.  2 sets at 20 reps each.  Followed pec flies using this machine.  Another option is it use 25lbs dumbells to do the flies on a flat bench.

4.  Biceps:  curls 15-20lbs at 2 sets / 20x both arms | Triceps:  rope pushdown 30-40lbs (as you can see, I don't use heavy weights but keep the reps as high as I can.

5.  Shoulder Press 20 lbs:

6. Lat Pull down 50+lbs.  

7. Row 50+lbs

9. Seated Hamstring Curl 50+lbs. Then use the same machine to do quad lifts.

10. Squats100lbs - 135lbs

11.  Cycling for 15mins

12.  Stretch again!

Finished! This routine typically takes 1hr.

Adding Supplements is good as well.  Here are my recommendations.
