Gym Routine

Goals:

My initial goal is to lose my small but noticeable gut! Running keeps my overall weight under control but I want to lost the gut which currently sticks out further than my chest! I will do this by good diet and weight training, following Neil's diet book.

Basic Measurements @ 15th Oct

Chest: 38 ins
Waist: 37 ins

1st Feb Measurements

Chest: 40 ins Waist: 36 ins

Diet:

Having read Neil's book I need to eat less but more often, i.e. get away from 3 meals each day with nothing in between. I need to eat more protein and less carbs.

I have recently joined a gym and my current routine is as follows. I am a runner so there is no cardio built in.

10 minute warm up - cross trainer / treadmill.

Bench press - 3x10 @ 60 kg

Dips - 3 x 10

Shoulder press - 3x8 @ 18 kg each dumbell

Preacher curl - 3x10 @ 35 kg

Bent over row - 3x10 @ 55 kg

Squats - 3x10 @ 30 kg (now 45 kg)

Leg curls - 3x10 @ 45 kg

Leg extension - 3x10 @ 45 kg

Incline flies - 3x10 @ 18 kg each dumbell

Variations:

Cable chest crossover - 3x10 @ 35 kg each side

Lat pulldown - 3x10 @ 55 kg

Seated row - 3x10 @ 60 kg

too much isolation - look at more compound stuff

aye, also need more back stuff in there now i look again at it - chest and back volume should be the same - weight too ie

100kg bench press then u should get 100kg on bent over rows too.
