Help with my workout
Rather new to this forum, but have a few things I'd like to poll the readers and very humbly request some constructive criticism and suggestions. My GOAL is to find a comfortable workout I can maintain for the next few years without being completely burnt out and having tendon and joint pain. (35 years old) so any suggestions in different exercises that have worked for people would be greatly appreciated.
I've been lifting off and on for about.. 8 years? I'm about 6' 4" and 250lbs right now. Regrettably I've accepted a stagnant job and lifestyle for the last two years of being separated from my family so, beyond some strength, I'm starting over at this point. Usually I'm around 230lbs when I'm going to the gym religiously but my goal has always been to stay around a fit-but-comfortable 260lbs. This workout seems to work for me, but i"m sure I could be much bigger. But time investment is a genuine problem for me with 4 kids.
Right now my workout is pretty much the cookie-cutter 1 hour workout each day.
first day: Chest/Tris/Calves
Flat bench
Incline
Flyes
Lateral pull downs (cable) 2 handed
Dips
Tricep extension machine
Seated Calf raises
Standing calf raises
Situps
Next day: Back/bis/quads
Standing Barbell curls:
Pull ups
standing or seated Dumbbell curls
Lat machine or bent-over weight rows
concentration curls or cable curls (burnout)
extension/flexor machine
Leg press machine
Squats if possible (bursitis)
Situps
Third day Cardio
Let the games begin!
