Default Workout

I'm a small, kinda stocky dude 5'11" with shoes (5'10" barefoot) and weigh 180 (81kg) as of my last full physical. I'm trying to cut weight down to about 168, cause I think I may be up to about 188...

I workout whenever I have time, which means there is no set schedule but here's what I am doing.

1. Distance Runs to cut weight and build my stamina
5 miles in 42 minutes (as of last Saturday), 7 miles in 63 minutes (Tuesday).

2. Weight Training (Major body parts), whenver time permits

Bench Press 225 x 8 reps, 245 x 5 reps
Arm Curls 80 x 8 reps, 100 x 4-5 reps
Deadlift 315 x 8 reps
Shrugs 90 (dumbells) x 8 reps
Pullups 15 reps
Military Press 135 x 8 reps, 165 x 4 reps
Leg Press 405 x 10 reps, 500 x 6 reps

Abwork

3. Boxing

Everything from rope work, shadown boxing, drills, focus mitts and sparring (not as often as I'd like, but enough to keep my skills alive).

4. Swims

Sprints 100 meters x 6, freestyle
Sprints 50 meters x 5 butterflye
steady swim for 500 meters

I'm pretty nicely sized, 6ft 205 lbs.

Mon
Full workout routine (including squats but excluding any other leg exercises for the most part)
flyes (I double my back machine to do flyes, works well, hits my pecs a lot, which are particularly weak)
b-press
squats
curls
tricep extensions
pull down
rows
military press
arm lifts (side)

I usually do these deadlift squat combos---deadlifting up and over my head to the squat..squat x 5 then press with shoulders off my head

I'm currently switching my b press for an overload schedule of push up due to it being a way my gym looks at your progression in some form or another.

Tues
1.5 hour training session
2 mile run
X amount of sit up
leg work outs

Weds

same workout plan as mon

thurs

see tues

fri
most of the time I'm lazy any unmotivated on fridays, but if I do get around to it I do a simplified version of my monday workout

sat
as soon as I wake up (well..more or less, but before I eat anything) I do the uphill full power as long as I can jog back down sprints to burn this fat off (Yeah I care about how I look, sue me) goes as long as I feel like.

probably do some bag work


sun
same as sat without bagwork probably

Thumbs up Exercise Routine

This has worked well for me so far.

Cardio to me is very important. So I try and do it everyday. If anyone here was on the track team, missing a day of practice can really affect your time.

[M,W,F]
Weightlifting [upper body (mon), midsection (wed), lower half (fri)]
a. Exercise Drills [mitts, heavy bag, judo throws, submission drills]
b. Conditioning [makiwara board, wooden dummy (at my friends house)]

[T,Th,Sun]
Learning new techniques [Boxing/Wing Chun, Wrestling/Judo, Puroesu]
Heavy Sparring [Standup & Ground Fighting]

Saturday is my free day as well. I'm also a very busy person with school and work, and the exercises above take up about 2hrs.

Me im 5'6 150 lbs right now, trying to stay around this but in the future Im interested in competing at 145 lbs. Actually something like a year ago I was about 5'3 110 lbs so 40 lbs was a big jump in a year and my cardio definitely got a tad worse. However for my weight Im not that strong, probably average or worse but since Im 16 im not gonna worry about it because Im sure I have alot more potential. Right now my program is 2-3 days a week of kickboxing or grappling, sometimes both, and 3 days of weight lifting(mostly compound lifts for strength.)
Right now im lifting:
Squat 175x5 150ish for 10
Deadlift 175x5 155ish for 10(Im gonna try for 180x5 tomorow, probably will get it)
Standing Military Press 80x5
Bentover Row 110x5, 85ish for 10
Shrugs 2 65lb. dumbbells for 15 reps
Then some other supplemental work like machine rows, curls every other week or so.
Ive also started swimming every other day or so not too intensely, just some light cardio to help get into better shape. And I also am playing goalie for a community indoor soccer team about twice a week(good reflex and psychological training)
Hey but does any have any tips for lifting for strength but keeping your weight steady? Im currently just trying to increase the weights I lift by 5 lbs. every other week or so when I feel I can handle the weight fairly good. Im new to alot of the exercises I do, just started squatting and deadlifting this past summer. But do you guys find that your strength increases come slower when you dont allow your body to grow more muscle mass, because that is its normal reaction?
Also, does anybody know how exactly your body gets stronger without your muscle fibres increasing in size? Is it mainly your nervous system getting more efficient or what? Do your muscles get more sinewy?

Wow, I just got the best cardio workout ever this morning, and here it is. Get on the treadmill for 1/4 mile at 2.5 mph (for the warmup), followed by five pushups, 10 situps and 20 air squats. Then repeat it but this time at 5 miles per hour, then 5 again, then at 6, and then 2.5 for a cool down. Oh you don't have to do the calisthenics after the cool down, just stretch--you'll need it! (Of course increase the mph depending on your activity level--this was a hell of a workout for me but might be easy for some people.)

Going for a pyramid type interval. Cool.

At 6 miles per hour, you are running a 10:00 mile.

Is that a good time? I bet it's probably still pretty slow. I'm pretty short and have a small stride, but I guess that's a bad excuse. Anyways, I love weights and slow long-distance bike rides but cardio is what kills me every time. I figure if I can just do 15 min a day 3-4 days a week for a couple weeks I should be really proud of myself. Then I'll increase speed...

Its not bad.

Your enthusiasm and commitment are what's important.

I wish I had people in my life who were as motivating as me...
