Borr 5,803 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Contemplating doing a bit of gym if joints play ball , made the mistake of asking a mate who's a machine for a workout he sent this , I replied with laughter so he sent me a more moderate one and a link to creatine and whey. I'll probably end up doing light weight and cardio for starters.... Might be of interest. Monday : • 4 sets of 10 up downs. 30 seconds recovery between sets • Sled push 40kg, jog back to start with rope then pull sled back (30 seconds break, repeat 20 times) • Standing dumbbell shoulder press ×20, then straight into a plank for 1 minute (repeat 3 times with minimal recovery) • Assault bike, start easy and increase each week. 20 seconds of work at 700 watts, then recovering for 20 seconds at between 100 and 150 watts. Repeat 20 times. Finish off with some stretching. Tuesday : • Dumbbell bench press. 4 sets of 12 reps w/60 seconds recovery. • Upright rows 3 sets of 15 reps w/ 60 seconds recovery a light weight for form and really targeting the delts) • Flys (cable or dumbbell) 3 sets of 15 reps w/60 seconds recovery (2 seconds eccentric, 1 seconds concentric) • Dumbbell rows 4 sets, 15 reps holding the core and concentrating on lat retraction (60 second breaks) • Press ups into plank, 3 sets of as many reps you can until fatigue then hold a plank for atleast a minute if possible. Then 60 seconds rest • Overhead tricep extensions, 3 sets of 12-15 reps with 60 seconds recovery • Dips, 3 sets of 10+ reps w/60 seconds break. • Finish with some cable core twists. 15 reps each side for 2 or 3 sets w/60 seconds recovery Wednesday : • Squats, 3 sets of 12 reps w/60 seconds recovery • DB walking lunges 3 sets done over 30 metres (back and forth of 15m space) w/60 second break between each 30 metre set • Stiff leg deadilifts 4 sets of 20 reps w/60 seconds break • Kettle bell swings 3 sets of 20 reps w/60 seconds break • Leg press 3 sets of 15 reps, tempo at 2 seconds down 1 up w60 second break between sets • Single leg hamstring curls 2 sets each, 20 reps for tempo of 2 up 1 down w/60 second break between sets Thursday: • Treadmill fartlek, 1minute at a fast pace followed by a 30 second slow jog, repeat 10 times (e.g. 15 kmph for 1 min, 8kmph for 30 sec, repeat) • Then into a tabata circuit: 4 rounds of 1 minute work, 15 second recovery.

TOMO 26,042 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Looks alot to me that does if your just starting ....4 days on the bounce...I'm assuming your middle aged like most of us on here...only 1 min rest between sets of 12 on squats...is not enough rest.. Doing all the cardio and core stuff is great...but split your workout up a bit more...maybe train a day ...then day off ..or train 2 days on bounce ...then day off ect 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,042 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 That sled push looks far to much if it's a sprint....just 3 or 4 sets at sprint blows your legs up...20 sets at a sprint..for a beginner no way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He sent me a far more moderate weight session. I put it up for more dedicated gym bunnies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bush Rummager 4,488 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Thought is was interesting to hear Joe Rogan say he doesn't train specific muscles with specific exercises. So no bicep curls and barbell presses etc. I'm sure he said he just uses kettle bells for his workouts does things like the farmer carry, Romania get ups and goblet squats and the like. He must know what he's doing.. looks well for 57! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
