Thread: quick routine

Hard to get a good lower body workout without some form of squats and no exercises for the calves. Are you supersetting any of these exercises?

No, I do one complete excercise of 4x8 then rest about 3 minutes-go to the next excercise and so on. I will probably do the leg press and calves also.

Leg press is crap. I would go with squats. I would also consider making two different fullbody routines. For a second routine, pull-ups/chins could replace the pulldowns and curls. dips could replace bench and tricep pushdowns. Walking lunges (weighted if possible) are a great lower body exercise and a decent alternative to squats.

Take out the arm work, have two workouts - Lower Push + Upper Pull, Lower Pull + Upper Push.

E.g.:


Workout A
Squats - 6 Sets
Pullups - 3 Sets
Single Arm Lat Pulldowns - 3 Sets

Workout B
Deadlifts - 6 Sets
Bench - 3 Sets
Military Press - 3 Sets


Simple, easy to remember, quick, brutal if you work hard enough.

I second that.

Maybe some rows?
