    New Year, New Routine

    My old routine had become a little stale, so I figured that there was no better time to shake things up than the start of a new year.

    Day One

    Chest
    Flat-bench press, BB
    Alternating with push-ups
    Flat-bench flies, DB

    Tris
    Tricep Pulldowns
    Tri Dips
    Skull crushers

    Abs: HS Abs Machine

    Day Two

    Back
    Lower back – Stiff-legged BB deadlifts
    Traps - Upright cable rows
    Lats – Pull-ups

    Bis
    Preacher curls
    Incline DB curls

    Forearms
    Forearm reverse curls

    Abs: Captain’s Chair

    Day Three

    Shoulders
    Shoulder DB press
    Front BB raises
    Lateral DB raises

    Legs
    Quads - Leg press
    Hams – Seated leg curls
    Calfs – Standing calf raise

    Abs: Crunches

    For cardio, I have put the bike to rest and have started using a new machine, part stepper, part tredmilll? Don't know the name of the contraption
    So far so good.

    Day One - Chest and Tris

    175 lbs. tonight.

    Flat-bench press, BB: 55-45 lbs x 2, 4x8
    Alternating with push-ups: 15
    Flat-bench flies, DB: 25 lbs, 4x8
    HS Abs Machine: 50 lbs, 4x8
    Tricep Pulldowns: 50 lbs, 4x8
    Skull crushers: 55 lbs, 4x8
    Tri Dips (assisted): 77%, 3x8

    I'm going to go with this routine until my birthday at the end of April, and then switch back to a variant of my last routine. Or, at least, that's the plan now.
