My Bowflex Workout Routine

I decided my last blog was too generic so here is my current workout routine.

When I worked out at Gold's Gym the guys I worked out with there always said it's good to alternate your routines with Push then Pull. What that means one day when you workout do all exercises that involve pushing. The next day do exercises that involve pulling. It's also good to alternate muscle groups. I have a BowFlex XLT.

Here is an average push day.

Bench Press: Done with extra cable laying on back
110 lbs on the rods to start 3 sets of 10, 8, 6, 4
Then go to 210 lbs 3 sets 10, 8, 6, 4 (This is the max my machine will go, I'm ordering another 100 lbs of rods when I get the chance.

One Arm Push: Done with hand straps
110 lbs on power rods 3 sets of 10, 8, 6, 4
Repeat with opposite arm

Leg Press: Done with weight belt attachment
210 lbs on power rods 3 sets of 10, 8, 6, 4
Repeat

Average Pull Day.

Pulldown: Done with overhead bar.
110lbs on the power rods to start. 3 sets of 10, 8, 6, 4.
Max weight at 210 llbs, 3 sets of 10, 8, 6, 4.

Bicep Curl: Done with hand straps
110 lbs on power rods 3 sets of 10, 8, 6, 4.
Repeat with opposite arm.

Stomach Curl: Lay on bench add extra cable
Do situp with weight 210 lbs 10, 8, 6, 4.
Repeat.

This is my curent workout routine and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
After 6 weeks I will mix it up. This is a really good routine and I'm very sore
after completing everything. Plus each workout you can get done in 30 to 40 minutes. If you work hard during this you'll be soaked in sweat when you're done.

My goal is to up the weight to 310 lbs and 210 lbs my the end of the year. It's currently September 2008.

They main thing is to have fun and enjoy your workout and stick with it.
