EngineDrew's online form of self-motivation journal


Journal begins 09/06/03
I have been keeping my own paper records with me when I workout.
I have custom made a chart for every day of my routine.
Day 1 - Chest-Biceps
Off Day - Abdominals and Cardio (30-45 minutes)
Day 2 - Back-Triceps
Off Day - Abdominals and Cardio
Day 3 - Legs
Off Day - Abdominals and Cardio
Day 4 - Shoulders-Traps
Off Day - Abdominals and Cardio
Associated with some split routines, I've followed their muscle grouping, (alas, we're eternally confused whether or not to group bi's with chest or back exercises, I've checked with a thread or two here at DiscussFitness, and personal trainers at the gym, and health professional websites.)
I have made sure, that I do cover all muscle groups - I'd prefer to workout all muscle groups in a single day - (yeah, that's a gymrat for ya), and I used to! - but I was only working each muscle group through a single exercise...(not good enough for REAL presentable results).
At this point, I'm very aware that, the more you work a muscle group the better...but not too much - that's overtraining. Also, it's best, if you compose your routine in a single day, to work the large muscle groups followed by the progressively smaller ones...Legs, chest, back, shoulders, arms, core.
Now, all that being said...here's my routine per day;

Chest-Biceps
Flat Bench Incline Bench Standing Cable Press Machine Fly Alternating Dumb Curl Preacher Curl Concentration Curl
Back-Triceps
Wide Grip Pull-Ups Narrow Grip Pulldown Cable Row
Back Extension Dips Overhead Extension Dumbbell Kickback
Legs
Squat Lunge Leg Press Leg Extension Seated Leg Curl Leg Raise(Adduction/Abduction) Stand Calf Raise Seat Calf Raise
Shoulders-Traps
Push-Ups Dumbbell Pullover Military Press Lateral Raise Reverse Machine Fly Upright Row Shrugs
Abdominals-Cardio
Crunch Incline Reverse Crunch Hanging Leg Raise (or Roman Chair) Cable Crunch Cardio 30-45minutes
So, this is what I do...I'm going to leave it here for now...(cuz I gotta get Zzz's and work a double tomorrow.) ;-)

I'll be back to fill in you all on what I'm doing on each of these days as far as weights, and reps, and sets...tomorrow.
