    For my weight training, I must admit I base a large proportion on the book 'The Art of expressing the Human body' about Bruce Lee's weight training programmes. It's suits me well as a basis. Monday/Wednesdays/Friday are my weight days, alternating upper/lower. 2-3 sets/8-12 reps depending how i feel. One ,maybe two exercises for each body part.

    Chest - mainly bench press, push ups whenever i have a moment spare. dips whenever i have moment spare.

    Shoulder - Military (front and behind neck), arnold presses, upright rows

    Back - I have a not up to scratch back so I do lots of pull ups every training day, sometimes deadlifts, bent over rows.

    Neck - wrestler's bridge, shrugs

    Triceps, tricep press, french presses, diamond push ups

    Biceps - barbell curl, hammer curl

    Forearms - every day - wrist curl, reverse wrist curl, wrist roller, grip ball, reverse curls, finger push ups.

    Abs - every day - usual suspects

    Quads - The mighty squat, leg presses

    Hammies - Leg curl

    Calf raises - when im bored
