Bowflex Workout routines
 
Not sure if I am doing this right, so if I am posting to the wrong section, sorry in advance...

I need help coming up with a 5-day routine using a Bowflex Sport. I keep reading what is recommended and not sure how that equates from a Bowflex perspective.

Currently, I do 30-45 minutes of cardio M-W-F mornings and five days on hte Bowflex.

General workouts all over M-W-F, upper on Tuesday and lower on Thursday. Using the workouts that came with the unit. I am wanting to start breaking down and concentrating on specific muscle groups looking to increase physical fitness and strength, not looking to win any contests...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Direct emails to [email]bradstone@verizon.net[/email] would be nice too if this is off-topic.

Thanks!

I would switch up the leg and chest/back day. Too much upper body close together.

Re sets and reps. Go for more of a variety to hit a full range of muscle fibers per workout.

perhaps like this:

Exercise 1: 4 x 6-8 (strength) 2 min rest
Exercise 2: 3 x 8-10 (hypertrophy) 60 sec rest
Exercise 3: 3 x 12-15 (endurance) 30 sec rest

Now you have not neglected any muscle fiber each workout!

Day 1 - Biceps/Traps/Forearms/Calves
Day 2 - Chest/Abs
Day 3 - Legs
Day 4 - Deltiods
Day 5 - Abs
Day 6 - Triceps/Back
Day 7 - Abs

Wondering if anyone has any critque to my new routine I'll be implimenting. Only thing I know of that concerns me is that I will be doing dead lifts on leg day, and I hear it works deltiods? Is this somthing I need to change up? Thanks for any comments, suggestions.

Edit: Maybe I could put rear deltiods on leg day.?

I'm trying to figure out why you picked some of these combo's...

I might re-write it like this:

Day 1: Chest, Bi, Abs
Day 2: Legs, Calves
Day 3: Off
Day 4: Shoulders, Abs
Day 5: Off
Day 6: Back, Tri, Calves
Day 7: Off

Deadlifts are for your back, legs, traps, forearms...not much rear delt. Keep rear delt on shoulder day.

I was trying to get a 5 day routine, thanks for the tips thebarbarianway.

Angel Rising 08-14-2006 01:12 AM

In response to ADVANCED LIFTERS - the Dc training principle - I just had a few questions.

Firstly, I am a 6 foot, thin female (with some body fat) looking to gain some lean muscle mainly to add curves.

I was wondering if this type of training is suitable for women (i'm sure it's fine) but more importantly I wondered what to do in case of a homelifter with no assistance. I can't afford gym membership or personal trainer and only have dumbbells, a barbell, bench.

Also, what type of cardio how often for how long would you add to this program if any?

I know that it is probably in the nutrition section but what would be a good meal plan (per day) to follow on this plan. I try to get in a portion of protein (about 20grams per meal) and a complex carb every meal as well as heaps of vegies. Is this fine. And what would constitute a portion size of carb?

Sorry if this is a lot of questions but i want to get it right this time....thanks in advance :)

Rickster 08-14-2006 06:35 PM

this question is for TKG or anyone else thats seen his workout plan for beginners...i was thinking for the next 8 weeks to add 1 more set to everything think that would be a good idea?

Well, I set up this new program, which is very similar to what someone may have posted in a post, because I took it from here and revised it a little bit.

I have each muscle group I'm hitting, along with the sets.

Sets of 3
Set 1 – 6 reps
Set 2 – 4 reps
Set 3 – 2 reps


Day 1
chest
shoulders
triceps
back
lats

Day 2
biceps
forearms
calves
hams
quads

Day 3
chest
shoulders
triceps
back
lats

(sat+sun off)

Day 4
biceps
forearms
calves
hams
quads

Day 5
chest
shoulders
triceps
back
lats

Day 6
biceps
forearms
calves
hams
quads

(sat+sun off)


However, one of my football coaches developed a weight lifting plan for the team, and I'm stuck with which one I should choose. The problem with the school plan is that they only lift on days we have school, even with days off of school we dont lift. Any Suggestions??

Started Body for Life Program yesterday (12 weeks)
 
If you are looking to get cut, this is the routine for you. It keeps your heart rate up and helps build muscle.

I am going to keep my log here for myself and others to view if they are looking for a different routine to do.

My sets work like this:
12-10-8-6-12-12

The first five are one exercise, with a superset of another exercise. You have 1 minutes rest between each set except after the fifth set, you go straight to the sixth with no rest. You have a two minute rest between body parts.

I have done this 12 week system before and you always need to make sure you eat enough before you do this workout. I can assure you that if you "correctly" perform this workout on an empty stomach, you stand a good chance of yacking. The thing is that if you take your time and not go buy the clock, you will be in the gym for two hours. The point is to run through this is as fast as you can. (hence the 1 minute rests). It took me an hour today. I was pretty worn out after my first day. You get used to it though. (technically its supposed to take 46 minutes)

Today is 20 minutes of HIIT. More to come.

I am getting a camera for xmas which is a couple weeks off. I will be posting some pics to show progress as soon as I can. I wished I had a camera now so I could have taken some before pics. I will be sure have pics for middle of the training cycle and then have pics after the training cycle is finished.

Your arms need more rest. I would try to dedicate one day to legs and abs instead of splitting them up and working your arms everyday. You will notice better gains when you let your muscles rest more. Half of building muscle is what you are doing when you are NOT in the gym. Also, where is your core work? (Like abs, obliques, lower back?)

(by the way, this is constructive, not meant to question your intelligence)

DJ-CJ 01-16-2007 03:48 PM

Does This Workout Routine work?
 
Mon - Chest & Biceps (1 Hour)

Tues - Cardiovascular (30 Mins) & Abs (15 Mins)

Wed - Legs (45 Mins)

Thur - Back & Triceps (1 Hour)

Fri - Rest

Sat - Shoulders (30 Mins), Cardio (30 Mins) & Abs (15 Mins)

Sun - Rest

I am trying just to get cut for right now and then build more muscle mass eventually. I am 6' 1" at 180 lbs with about 7.5% body fat and I am still not seeing alot of definition well not as much as I would want especially in my abs and chest, my arms are coming along.
