Looks like you are getting introduced quickly to the benefit of posting your workout plans (or the danger, depending on how you look at it). But Burner is right, you are missing some important stuff and focusing too much on the things you are doing. Dial down the volume a little, up the poundage some. You'll get there a little faster and be stronger for it. Bottom line, though, is you look like you are willing to put in a ton of work, which is a great start.
Good luck!

From your comments, it sounds like you are working out at home, right? You can get some great work in with no weights at all doing the right stuff. (I asked for a list from Cowpimp once and it just about killed me.) If you are interested, I can pass them along.

OK, here is the routine he put together for me once upon a time...
prisoner squats push ups crunches dips reverse hyperextensions burpees (AKA squat thrusts) I did a circuit of 15 reps each three times. Brutal. Prisoner squats are just body weight squats with your hands behind your head. Reverse hypers can be done lying on your stomach on a bench or table, raising your legs. I have a few other goodies tucked away that may be of use. What kind of setup do you have to work with?

do they have a 'play it again sports' store or something like that where you are?
(A 2nd hand store for fitness equipment)

$300 for all that gear is a heckuva deal. Hope you are on your way over there.

I loved the commercial for that place: All our weights are cleaned and pressed daily.

Haven't seen it, but sounds funny. I like going into the places that actually post the prices for plates with signs like "Iron: $1.09/pound."

![]() OK, look, no one cares what you look like if you are in the gym. (And if they do, screw 'em.) Go because you want to, go because you need to, go because you can't live with yourself if you don't. But DON'T stay home and limit your workouts because of some frat boys who use the squat cage for curls and who spend more time yakking then lifting. Sorry...I get a little charged up on that topic...

If you are working at home for that reason, it's ok. But don't let anyone intimidate you into avoiding the gym.

Yeah, I would definitely want to work my way up into working out in a gym. But right now I just want to learn proper form and what exercises and such I should start working on.

do they have any personal trainers at the university gym?
they could help you figure out the correct use of the gym equipment u can use. Like Py said: Don't let other people deter you from your goals. I'll be honest: when I started back itothe gym...after my friend I lifted with moved...I was kinda feeling like you are. I was weak, out of shape..and thought ALL eyes were on me. Guess what? After that 1st workout...it got easier. Nobody will really pay any attention to you unless you are doing something really impressive...or stupid. (I've fallen into the latter catagory a couple times...but I'll save that one for later) ![]()

I really should invest in some sessions with a personal trainer though.. although I like to figure out things on my own and be the source of my own success. |
