My Exercise Routines

I train more for full body fitness then sheer mass. I never intended to get huge. I wanted to modify my genetics enough so that when I have kids they can build some muscle. I wasn't blessed with good genes from my parents. So I strive to change that.

My routines have shown positive result in both me and other people I work out with who have tried them. I often move furniture on the weekends. That's right furniture. This would not be possible if my body was not in proper form.

I train for stamina strength and sheer strength rather then huge size. I like to fit into my shirts and pants without ripping something as a result of size. My posts here are for people of all ages and routines to try and adjust to their own level.

Training for endurance and stamina

This type of training requires what is mentioned below to be master prior to starting this.
Basically its the same as a pro-set, however preformed with little to no rest. The idea behind this way of training is that while you train one area of your body, the other area will be getting rested as if you were just waiting it out. So in this time instead you are still training, however, just training a different area.

For example do your row or back exercise, immediately follow that with your bench, or chest exercise without waiting in between the two.

Do this consistently through out your routine. You should find that it becomes difficult about your third set, because you are not giving a time to rest and catch your breath.
Only after your third set are you allowed to stop for a breather.
This is just like cardio training with about 80-90% of you actual full rep weight. This way of training is also a good way to burn fat and build your stamina. This is increase your heart rate and build your lungs in the same process, allowing your to return to your normal routine in a few weeks with more overall performance. If you don't notice a difference, then may you have plateaued and need to incorporate new exercises into your routine.

Pro-sets and complexes

Pro-sets and complexes are basically the same thing. Don't ask where the name came from, however, you can imagine where. These are a lot like what the pro athletes do in there training sessions. Many exercises together as one with little rest in between each.

For example do your back exercise paired against your chest exercise, consider those two together as one set. Same goes for your arms, shoulders, or legs.

However for these exercises you may not be able to do your full weight because it requires much more stamina and overall strength to preform them properly and consistency.
These can also be preformed the same as your normal routine would be just as a paired set. So as you would normally be doing a second set, this would be where you would preform your paired exercise.

Obese to average Joe

I used to weight alot and I mean alot, I was considered obese for someone my size based on my age and height. I used what I learned to modify my lifestyle to change myself and lose 85 lbs total. Safely, healthy, and effectively.

I generated this blog, based from a book I intend to write to the masses. I don't generally write about getting huge muscles, training for a triathlon, or anything like most others. I prefer sheer strength and maintenance training. Although I have packed on size in the process. The comes with all training routines. Better body, better life, healthier living.
