Question:
I been on the South beach diet for two weeks and lost wieght. Last week I been working out everyday just to get back into the routine and it has been working. Instead of doing certain portions of the body each day I do every part. Here is my schedule. Chest: DB chest press 3 sets of 10 Shoulders: DB shoulder press 3 sets of 10 ABS: Abs crunch 3 sets of 12 Back: Machine row(sit down)3 sets of 10 Tricep: DB French press 3 sets of 10( this is the hardest for me) Biceps: DB bicep curl 3 sets of 10 Back: DB squats 3 sets of 10 I did this for 8 days straight just to get me back in the routine. Starting this week I am going to be doing this 4 to 5 days with cardio done everyday. For cardio I run a mile on the treadmill and about 25 minutes on a stationary bike. I am also going to take Whey starting this week. I looking to take about 50g a day throughout the day. I am also looking into take creatine. This is not a definite, I am just curious. What do you guys think of this schedule? This might sound rough for someone who is starting to get in shape but I want to get my body use to this routine. Also what do you think of the Creatine?
Answer:
OMG. You did this for 8 consecutive days? Why? If you stick with your plans of 4 to 5 days of whole body training and cardio everyday, you'll be on the fast track to overtraining. You need to take it slow and cut your routine big time. First, start with 3x per week of full body work every other day (ie. Mon, Wed, Fri) to let your muscles get the necessary rest. Second, forget doing cardio everyday. If you want, do cardio on the non-lifting days.It's probably too early for you to start using creatine IMO, this schedule is great if you want to make yourself weak, tired and sick. Besides, what is your goal specifically? Get stronger? Bigger? Leaner? Better cardio? Well, regardless of what your goal is, you need to get enough rest and your present schedule doesn't offer any
