What does ur workout consist of?
 

I was wondering because i really want to build my chest and abs but i dont know what workouts to do. My workout now consist of 50 twist situps followed by 20 side situps(lay on side and sit up), two leg lifts for about 30 seconds, two sets of 30 push ups, and then free weights. Im looking to build my chest and abs but i have to do it without machines or weight or anything. What areas do pushups effect?

Ok what are you trying to work out, the muscular strength or muscular mass?

If you're trying to workout the strength its best you do so that the resistance of your workout will make you only do 9-11 reps.
If you are trying to build mass do less reps like 5-6 reps but with increased weight and resistance.
Right now it seems you're improving endurance. Its also better if you join a local gym or something or is there one in your local highschool? The one I go only cost like 40 bucks a month.

Then do the muscular strenght thing workout.

Run 2 miles, and try to stay under 15 minutes.

Pyramid of Pushups (1 push-up, 1 raise-the-roof, 2 push-ups, 2 raise-the-roofs, 3. . . all the way to about 7, then back down again)

crunchies for 1 minute (Chrunches)

close-hand push-ups for 1 minute (diamond)

leg-lifts for 1 minute

wide-armed push-ups

running 4 miles and then biking 4 miles then sleeping

3 sets of 15 on bench, same on squats and curls, then i do a bunch of aerobics, but thats b/c i lift with my football team

what are you an olympic endurance runner? oOo: i find that hard to believe. thats 4 five minute miles, i never competed running, but it takes me like almost 40 minutes to do that lol. if you can though, that is outstanding, 22 mins omg cry:

well really if you want to build chest, i beleive that benchpress is the way to go. Do standard bench press, then inclined and declined press. That should work lower, mid and upper chest.

My workout ? A modified HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (H.I.T.) routine coupled
with AIR ALERT 2 (a plyometrics work-out for your legs) and my proprietary
basket-ball skills training, followed by a summer beach work-out. I don't feel
like giving details unless you really want them, so just ask if you're interested...

Stroke stroke HAnd up hand down then relax and ed: . But seriously? Aw run a couple miles. stretch, do some core exercises, lift, then run some. OR swim a hell of a lot.

A box of Twinkies and the AA.com Forums biggrin:

like 30 push ups per day.

wtf? bullshit

[quote="CaP bUsTa":1c900]i just run

how much is that in Kilometres?

Okay first all these guys who are talking about running 2 miles a day? Don't pay attention to them. I ran track this year for the half mile and mile and I ran a shitload and didn't get any better looking as far as muscles are concerned. However from playing football and baseball and lifting heavy weights I have gotten that muscle toning without looking like a machine. Trust me fellas, lifting heavy weights will not give you huge muscles unless you shoot some shit into your system. Hell I've been lifting heavy weights since 8th grade and I don't look like an animal or anything.

I suggest going with pyramid workouts for everything you want to build. To explain what a pyramid workout is, basically it's a combo of endurance and strength. A bench workout would look something like this:

10 reps with 50% of your max
8 reps with 60% of max
8 reps with 70% of max
6 reps with 75% of max
4 reps with 80% of max
2 reps with 85% of max
1 rep with 90-95% of max

Remember if you can't finish your workout....GOOD! That means you're working harder than you body wants to. I'm not saying do a workout that you can only complete halfway through, but if you can't get those last few reps, GOOD!! Don't give in to what your body wants. Your body is a pussy. Your body wants to sit on its ass all day getting fat. Do what you want to do. You want to look good right? Beat the hell out of your body and by that I mean work HARD, because success in weight lifting does not come without HARD WORK.

Another suggestion I will make: get rid of push-ups and sit-ups. That shit is for women. Hell I wouldn't even call it a workout. You're wasting 10 minutes of your time before your workout with that crap. Also I think you said something about wanting your arms to look big/good. Concentrate on your tricep, because whenever you're not flexing your tricep is what makes your arm look big. Develop your bicep and forearms too, but really bust it with your tricep.

thanks guys but i have a problem i can do a billion sit ups and it dont do nothing it feels like it is being worked out and hurtsbut it never gets harrder i dont know what to do

if you want a good looking body, swim 5000 yards in 2 hours 5 days a week and get up at 6 am and run a mile every morning. also drink at least 6 bottles of water and eat enough fruits and veggies to fulfill your vitamin intake. simple as that! best workout and not too confusing

whatever man i run this everyday with my team, i dont care what the fuck you think

just sayin thats a little fast. and if all you do is run all day and are looking for a total body workout you won't find it. best workout is swimming

meh im in shape and im toned. Hit the gym twice a week and run everyday. I used to swim but quit because if i wanted to swim competitively i had to wear a speedo and i have a small package

My work out consists of me changing the channels on the TV and occasionaly me getting up to get the remote that i dropped.

But for real, i just do curls, run anywhere from 1-3 miles and push ups, crunches, leg lifts, the usual PT

5-10km run every morning.

with swimming, you have to get past the wearing the speedo part oOo: and the thing is, almost everyone can run but can they swim? cool:
