Routine

Usually I spend a minimum of 45 minutes to 1:15 in the gym. When I started out, I would spend 1:30. But that's not necessary. Make sure you don't go to the gym low energy. Eat something a little time before so you're energetic.

Core: I always do these (they target chest)

Name Sets Reps/Duration Cooldown Comments
Crunch (bench) 2 15 1-2 minutes Crunch without weight. Stress abs/core. Quite intense but fast
Chest fly 2 10 1-2 minutes Start weight at 30-40kg. Move up or down from there as needed
Situp or kneeling crunch 2 10 1-2 minutes Go slow (harder). Make sure it hurts.

Type A: Target shoulders and back (pick 2)

Name Sets Reps/Duration Cooldown Comments
Pullups 2 5 1-2 minutes Targets lats. Can be a pullup, or using a lat pulldown machine.
Chinups 2 5 1-2 minutes Can extend cooldown for last sets
Overhead press 2 10 1-2 minutes Do with empty weight bar (20kg). Good for shoulders

Type B: Targets chest and forearms (pick 2)

Name Sets Reps/Duration Cooldown Comments
Barbell Curl 2 5 1-2 minutes Targets biceps. Go with 10KG and go easy. Increase weight if needed
Bench press 3 10 1-2 minutes Do a warm up with the empty bar. Start with 10kg and be careful

Type C: Target legs and cardio (pick 2)

Name Sets Reps/Duration Cooldown Comments
Leg Press 2 10 1-2 minutes Targets glutes/quads/hamstrings. Start with 20kg. Adjust up/down
Cycling 1 30m N/A I cycle for 30m. Can maybe replace this with empty bar deadlift
