My two month back to gym program. The start of my buffness - Monday, June 29, 2009 8:43 AM ( #1 )
Hey all - this is a plan to get myself going on the journey to getting buff.  Feel free to give me your opinion.  Keep in mind my goals at the end though.


Two Month Back to Training Program

MONDAY - WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY


Leg Extension                                        (warm up)
Squat                                                     2, 10 - 12      working up to goal of  4, 8 - 10 heavy weight
Bench Press (slight Incline)                    "
Bent-over Row                                       2, 10 - 12      working up to goal of 3, 8 - 10 heavy weight
Overhead Barbell Press                          "
Barbell Curls                                           2, 10 - 12     working up to goal of 3, 8 - 10 heavy weight
Lying Triceps Extension                          "
Calf Raise                                               2, 10 - 12     working up to goal of 4, 15 heavy weight
Reverse Crunch                                      2, 10 - 12     working up to 2, 25 with resistance
Cardio – Treadmill                                  15 – 20 minutes straight after weights

My plan is to start slow for a couple of weeks then start to increase weight each workout and eventually add some extra sets.  I won't train to failure every workout, but increase my weight each time I lift even if only by a pound either side of the bar!  I'm thinking of making the wednesday workout towards the end of the 2 months a lighter one, so I will only be lifting heavy twice per week. Just want to make sure I don't overtrain.  The focus is on compound movements - and the opportunity to lift heavier weights and to hit the major muscles well.
I have thought about going back to my old routine, but I have never done the three day a week program and I'm hearing good stuff about it on here & elsewhere.
Basically this 2 month program is to get me back at the gym, start my muscle gains and start to develop my strength.  I won't set huge goals - just to get back into things and to start the journey.
After these 2 months the goal is to move onto a split routine where I can add some "SERIOUS" muscle.   I understand the whole cycle process now - thanks to the E-book!

Bit more about myself
32, 5'11", 87 kg, Chest 43", Shoulder Girth 50", Arms 14", Upper Thighs 24.5", Lower thighs 19", Calves 14.25", Waist 36.5".   Body fat according to an online calculator around 19% (thats from a no exercise lifestyle)  Its basically a spare tyre.  I don't want to cut up first - I want to build muscle.  I haven't exercised properly for years so the fact I will be working out and doing cardio will start to do good things.

I used to train in my 20s.  Went from 67 kg to 90 kg in about a year  on a two day split:  Upper Body twice a week, Lower body twice a week. (2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off).

Long term goals:
Muscle:  Bigger pecs, arms, legs, calves.  Think Daniel Craig from 007.  Couple of inches to all muscles - especially arms, calves and thighs.  A few extra inches and a good pump to my chest as well.
Abs:   down the track.  Would rather add size and then cut.  Waist goal is round 33 inches - 32 would be a dream.  With my body type that would probably mean abs.  Really cant see with my body a 30 inch waist.
Strength:     no brainer, would come from lifting heavier weights.

I will post my nutrition plan in the nutrition section - would love some feedback on that too.

Cheers All

Trev
