MG's Training Log

I tried something new today ... the 20 min circuit workout.

The goal is to do a max of reps of bench press, squats, pull ups, military press, lunges, biceps curls, triceps extensions, leg extensions, leg curls in 1 minute, sit ups and crunches for 2 minutes and 2x3 minutes of jog or bike in between. To do a max of reps you need to stick to light weights.

I did

Bench press (I used the Smith Machine since I can't bench without a spotter)
45x50

Squats (I used the horizontal press this time to spare my knees a bit)
50x150

Pull ups
32 reps

Stationary bike 3 min

Military press (at the Smith Machine)
60x50

Lunges
80 reps each leg

Biceps curls
35x15

Stationary bike 3 min

Triceps extensions
40x30

Leg extensions
69x44

Leg curls
60x33

Sit ups
134 in 2 minutes

Crunches
85 reps in 2 minutes

Stretch

I crawled back to my apartment afterwards ....

I dont know that much about you. I am kinda an ectomorph, so I cant add any considerable size beyond a max of 4 day split. I leaner on a 6 day. What kind of body do you have and what are your current goals?

I'm 5ft7, weight between 145 and 147lbs. I lift for fun and to stay healthy. Lean mass is what I want but I'm 45+ and it's hard to be as lean/ripped as I used to be.

I did the 300 reps workout today: 10 exercises 10 reps of each in 3 rotations without rest. I think I have a pinched nerve or something.

Inverted rows
Lateral raises (machine - 33,38,44)
Cable crossovers (25,30,35)
Peck Deck (55,65,75)
Frontal raises (using a 15lbs plate)
Hanging leg raises
Pike sit ups
Horizontal leg press (176,198,220)
Clean & Press (44lbs)
Hyperextensions

Over the years I've learned volume training is what works for me.
I need to have heavy low rep sets as well as higher rep moderate weight sets in every workout. I do my higher rep sets at beginning of each exercise, I have found that this greatly reduces risk of injury. I like to train 5-6 days a week.

I used to do 15 reps to start with but a guy at another board told me that I shouldn't exceed 10 reps - not sure why. What's your split like, lifts?


5 min stair climber, 5 min treadmill

Smith - flat
55x12
65x10
75x10

Vertical press
77x12
88x10
99x10

Pec Deck
55x12
66x10
77x10

Pull overs
31x12
35x10
40x10

My back is still sore - that's why I stick to lighter weights for the Smith and the pull overs.
