Pec Dec
new Gym Routine… please help!?
Hi!
I’ve been going to the gym for a while now but am not getting the results I think I should be getting. I think it’s mainly because my diet sucks but can anyone suggest improvements to my workout please?
In a typical week I do the following:
Monday — 35mins cardio (5mins cycle, 20mins X-trainer, 10 mins treadmill)
Tuesday — rest
Wednesday — Weights (5min on cycle first then all machines all doing 2 sets of 12 reps. Abs, chest press, pec-dec, triceps, lat-pull)
Thursday — rest
Friday — cardio
Saturday — Weights
Sunday — rest
and so on into the next week…
I know that I should not do more than 45mins weights before muscles start to break down. I also take Met-RX (protein) after a weight workout. What can I do differently in your opinion? Lower reps at a higher weight? should I work out MORE, do less cardio, more weights etc??
THANKS!!
It all depends on your goals. If you looking for definition, lower weights 10-12 reps. To bulk up higher weights 8-10reps. Who ever told you that you should not work out for more than 45 minutes doesn’t know what their talking about. The only way your muscles can grow is by you causing it to break down and then as it repairs its self it grows larger. Stick with a Whey protein, instead of using a met-rx brand which is multiple kinds of protein mixed. Whey feeds the muscles quicker. Vitamin Shoppe and Prosource.net are good places to buy supplements
