Dear hot-boded men and women of T-Nation,
I have come to the realization that my workout routine is probably very stupid and humbly seek your advice and knowledge.
Here are the deets:
I got rejected by a dumb boy early in March and vowed to myself that I would lose weight and become figure athlete chick hot.
I started out at 150lbs and I am now sitting at 140lbs, but I am very short and wish to be closer to 125-130.
The scale barely moves and it makes me want to punch things.
I am taking in around 1750 calories per day and I haven’t strayed from my diet OnCE since the day I told myself to stop being fat.
I am the kind of person who believes being insanely excessive is the best possible way to do things, so my routine is probably not helping me out as much as it could be.
THis is what I do
Quad focus day
Back squats 5 sets of 6
Front squats 4 sets of 6 + all out set
Double contraction/paused leg ext. 4 x 6 + 2 sets to failure
Close stance leg press drop set or 3 x 8 + 2 sets to failure
UM then I’ll do some KB swings and some plate side bends
OH, and I do leg spreader like 3 x 10 or something
Next day
Shoulders/intervals
Push press 4 x 6
Shoulder circuit
4 diff. exercies x 8 reps x’s 4 rounds + one round AMRAP for all of em
20 mins hill sprint intervals
ab circuit 3 diff. excersies x’s 15 reps x’s 4 rounds
Next day
Bi’s tri’s
One main thingie for each 4 x 6
then a circuit of 6 diff. exercises blah blah, same as my shoulder shit
25 mins step mill
Hamstring focus
Back squats 5 x 6
deadlifts 4 x 6 + one high rep set
lying leg curl 2 x 8 + an extended set that’s like 8 + 4 + 2
Oh and that is paused at top
Wide stance leg press
super slow seated leg curl with pause 4 x 6 + 2 sets to failure
leg spreader
side bends and some KB swings if I have time or whatever, sometimes I add KB deadlifts and stuff.
CHESTDAY
Normal grip bench 4 x 6 + AMRAP
Wide grip SS close grip 3 x 8 each
incline bench X’s whatever I decide, probably like 3 x 8 with the last set being extended
power fly SS DB squeeze press 3 x 8 each + one final AMRAP
then one resistance machine I decide to do
20 mins hill sprint intervals
ab circuit
BACK DAY
Chin ups x’s 3 sets
this one back thing I don’t know what it’s called
Kayaka row 4 x 6
straight arm pull down 3 x 8 + extended set
facepulls paused + 2 sets AMRAP not paused
then two other things I chose, like rest/pause seated row or different handle attachments to the lat pull or just whatever is closest to me at the time
heavier-ish bi curls 4 x 6
25 mins step mill
STart back over with quad day
FUCK THAT TOOK SO LONG TO TYPE OUT. Serious props to anyone that actually reads all that, LOL.
So yes, I don’t take any rest days and I think my routine kinda sucks and I don’t really enjoy my workouts anymore.
Also when I say things like I did 5 sets of 6 squats I probably did like 8 sets because I start to get OCD about things and re do shit and then I kinda feel like crying cause nothing ever ends.
Um…
Ya.
Also, my workouts take forever and I am sick of it. Especially cause I start a new job next week and somedays I’ll be working like 11 hours a day.
I just don’t know if I am doing stuff wrong, I guess??
OH SUPPS:
I am taking Indigo
MAG -10
ZMA
fish oil
I think that’s all? Vit. C cause I think if I miss taking it a day I’ll get a pimple which actually does happen so :PPPPPPPP
OH AND VIT D DUHHH
Anyway, any input or anything would be really appreciated. I just feel like I’m spinning my wheels a bit here.
MUCH LOVE
