I've been using this workout philosophy for a couple years, and I like it because it gives me some real numbers for feedback on my workouts. [see http://www.precisiontraining.com]. Basically, you keep track of sets x weight x reps and elapsed time that it took to do them, and calculate total weight lifted for the exercise, weight lifted per minute, and an index called the power index. Then, you can get a single number for each workout to compare your effort and effectiveness.
The downside is that you have to keep a with you, and keep track of all the stats. But, the way I feel, if you're not keeping track of what you're doing, what's the point of lifting?
I'm a 51-year-old white male who's been lifting for 10 years. I'm 6'3, weight 208 pounds, and here are my measurements: chest is 44, waist is 36, biceps are 16.5, thighs are 22, calves are 14.5.
Here's my workout schedule. I lift from 5am to 6am each morning before heading off to work.
Mondays: Chest
Tuesdays: Shoulders
Wednesdays: Back
Thursdays: Bi's tri's
Fridays: Legs
Saturdays: Bi's and tri's again
Sundays: nothing.
