Hey all,
I need a routine the revolves around a squat day, a dead day, and a bench day: i.e. Mon/Wed/Fri.
I'd like it to include a military press and rowing movement plus dips and pullups because I understand they are difficult and I like a good challenge; I don't know what days to add the pressing/rowing/dips and pullup into the structured routine.
Here's some other details: for the past six weeks I've been stationary bicycling at the gym for 55 minutes using an interval hill program to prepare me for commuting daily via bicycle, a round trip of 10 miles. Commuting starts this upcoming Monday, the 24th, I thought I could do interval hill work on the treadmill to make sure I using different legs muscles than those that the bicycling uses.
I don't need to worry about "gettin' big" right now...I need to trim way, way down to an acceptable weight then rebuild some mass with class. I think the compound movement routine will set a foundation that will never fail me when, and if, I decide to move into a more complicated routine.
One question: at this point should I even be thinking about low carb/nutrient timing etc? Another point: both my folks have some sort of cardiac problems; I need to keep some sort of eating plan that will serve me now and down the road.
Immediate goals: Start commuting by bike, four weeks of basic lifing in exact fore with no missed day/no excuses before worrying about increasing weights.
Longer term goals: Increasing weights during lifting but maintaining form; don't let my ego create injuries by compromising form. Dropping inches from around the waist and big ole butt; resuming my porn career (Just wanted to see if you were still reading).
This got kinda word-y; I had a big Starbucks this morning plus am excited about getting started. Any routine help would be appreciated.
Thanks ladies and gents!
