So I decided to start this blog, as a means to keep myself accountable more so than I already am. I've been working out consistently since January, although I've missed a few days here and there it has still been consistent.
I'm going to start a new routine within the next week, doing less isolation exercises and more total body work (squats, dead lifts, etc). A lot of the moves though, are some that I've never done or have been able to do them well. I have this weird psychological thing with squats, I just can't get out of my head and just do them. I'm a big guy, so I think there is some fear that I'll fall at parallel with the weight.
Any help, and suggestions would be awesome, if you happen to pass by this place.
Here's the basics of the routine, it's a high volume low weight workout. I want to lose about another 50lbs or so, but I want to be more filled out than thin. This routine is pretty basic and simple, which I've been wanting to get back to the basics for a while and build a good strong foundation from there.
Leg Press 2x12
Chest press 2x12
Lat pull down 2x12
Shoulder Press 2x12
DB Curl 2x12
Tricep Kickback 2x12
Aerobic work :30+
Pretty basic really, I'll do that 3-4 days a week with more cardio between them and 2 off days. I'll probably do this for at least 6 weeks and then go from there, if the results are satisfactory then I'll continue until I plateau. Once I plateau, I'll switch up to a more intense workout, but it'll still have the same basic idea.
I've also had trouble with building my own routines, I can help someone else out and build them great routines. I dunno, I just gotta stop psyching myself out I guess. Ohwell, later days.
