^ Well, thanks for the advice anyway. I run and do mild strength training (i.e. dumbbells, push-ups) which I think helps my maintenance. I really want to get down to 58 kg which is my ideal.

This was my workout today


10min climbing machine Warm-Up
5 Sets á 10 reps. 35kg Chest Press
4 Sets á 10 reps 30kg Butterfly
4 Sets á 10 reps 30kg wide chest press
4 Sets á 10 reps 50kg lower row tight
4 Sets á 10 reps 40kg lower row wide

4 Sets á 10 reps 30kg lat
3 Sets á 10 reps 20kg shoulder press
4 Sets á 10 reps 15kg cable triceps extension
10min treadmill cool down

(font from iOS Notes App, sorry for that)


Plan for tomorrow

Get up, do some Push Up's than go to "work" (restorating '66 Mustang :) ). After that running ~3km and than go to gym for leg, lower back, biceps, neck, abdominal muscles (whats the right word?)



Anything is better than nothing at this point. I don't really think you need two variants of a row at this point and some more free weight work would be nice. There's a bunch of things you could change, but if you work hard at this, you can still make progress. If you can, I would throw in some jump roping too.

Back from the gym... In case it was so warm (35°C and 80% humidity) out there I didn't go jogging outside. Instead I jogged at the gym for 30 min (4.25km). Took socks with me but my drink bottle leaked and the socks were all wet so I trained and jogged without them - Result 2 big blister on every feat -.-

The rest of the workout looks like this:


26.7
30min treadmill
3 Sets á 10 reps Leg press (100,130,150kg)
3 Sets á 10 reps rear Kick 30kg
3 Sets á 20 reps calf press 70kg
3 Sets á 15reps Leg curl 35kg
3 Sets á 10 reps Leg Extension 35kg
4 Sets á 10 reps lower Back 40-40-40-45kg
3 Sets á 10 reps Rotary Torso 25kg
3 Sets á as many i could manage crunch
3 Sets á 10 reps biceps curl 15kg
3 Sets á 10 reps barbell upright row 15kg

I'm destroyed but it feels good and hope to see a good result at the end of holidays.

LOL at all the hate and snobbery in this thread.

So what if you were doing light weight workouts without cleans, dead lifts and squats?

I didn't even go to the gym for the last two months - I trained exclusively on bodyweight workouts to condition my body for more endurance. And I only just did my first four sets of deadlifts after four years off. You think that makes me weak?

So, don't hate on people for "crappy" workouts.
