Alright CowPimp, A while ago I asked about what my split should be if I only have opportunity to work out twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays). You suggested a full body routine, twice a week. I modeled the routines on your post: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/showthread.php?t=53106 So...

Alright, time to put up my routine... I have only a small amount of time each week - 60 to 90 minutes, twice a week. I usually choose Monday and Thursday. I am trying to hit my whole body each week, so I'm doing an upper/lower split. I do 2 or 3 warm up sets before hitting it hard, and haven't...

Hey all, What is everybody's opinion about working out and sickness. I am just fighting a mild chest infection with a bit of coughing, and I'm not sure if I should let my immune system just deal with it before lifting weights. Any comments? Will lifting delay my recovery? Rekd

I have always felt that if I do not get any muscle soreness 12 - 24 hours after a workout, then I have not worked hard enough. I have assumed that the soreness comes because I have stressed the muscle, thereby causing it to grow. I always to at least three warmup sets, and always stretch after...

Hey all, Does anyone here workout after their dinner? Eg. dinner at 6pm, workout at 8pm? Just curious, as I have very little spare time, and any I do get is mainly in the evenings after the kids are in bed... I can't imagine it'd be that great to still have a half-full stomach:barf: , but...

What time of the day does everyone here train?:lifter: :jacks: I'd do a poll, but nah - can't be stuffed...

I am currently training with limited time and equipment, but I am concerned that I am overtraining. Each session only lasts for about 20 - 25 minutes, as I cannot get any more time in a day to do it. I am only targeting some specific groups at present - biceps, triceps, lats and pecs. My split...

I am currently training my back and shoulders three times per week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with excercises like pullups which are low reps and HARD (for me anyway...) What I have found is that I can lift more on Tuesday than the other two days, as I have had 3 days rest instead of 2...

Hi - I'm hoping for some help here. I used to lift weights 4 times a week for several years back, and loved it. But that was before I was married with kids, and haven't lifted weights seriously for about 5 years now. Anyhow, I ride alot, and so have reasonable leg size and strength, but I'd love...
