Share your workout!
Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 09:11PM I spend a lot of time online reading the blogs that other fitness writers post. I've discovered (and so has Alice!) that there's a lot of information out there that can really add to our gym experience. I can't tell you the number of times we've read about a killer workout someone else devised that Alice and I thought would be worth giving a try. (Our most recent was the 100 pull-up/200 push-up workout. Wow!!)
My current workout is for developing mass, so I'm doing a lot of low rep/high weight exercises. Basically my workout looks like this:
- Monday - upper body mass workout, karate class (2 hrs)
- Tuesday - AM cardio (HIIT 25 min)
- Wednesday - karate class (2 hrs)
- Thursday - AM cardio (HIIT 25 min)
- Friday - lower body mass workout, karate class (2.5 hrs)
- Saturday - random workout (like the 200/100 workout mentioned above)
- Sunday - off
Post a comment and tell us about your workout - inspire others to try something new!

I'm doing Rippetoe's starting strength program:
Workout A:
Squats 3x5 (ATG)
Bench 3x5
Deads 1x5
Dips 2x8 (optional but I do them)
Workout B:
Squats 3x5 (ATG)
Overhead Press 3x5
Power Cleans/Rows (I choose the latter) 3x5
Pull-ups/Chin-ups 2x8 (also optional)
Week 1: Mon/Wed/Fri A/B/A
Week 2: Mon Wed/Fri B/A/B
Eat a lot of protein, and everything goes up 5 lbs per workout until you can't anymore.
Simple, and thus far effective.
Looks like a great workout, Chris. I expect your goals are to add mass to an already existing muscle base?
Love seeing other people's workouts. Gives me new things to try! ;-) Thanks!
