I’ve been doing some weight training over the past (almost) week. I’ve discovered that I am not as tough as I thought I was or even as much as I used to be. It’s sad really. It’s made me realize that I’ve got some work to do. Here’s what I’ve been doing:
Saturday
Bench Press – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Military Press – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Bench Dips – 2 sets to failure
Crunches – 2 sets to failure
Monday
Leg Press – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Leg Curl – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Standing Calf Raises – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Wednesday
Bent Over Rows – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Upright Rows – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Bicep Curls – 2 warm-up sets followed by 2 x 12
Now, I know this isn’t too much, but remember that I haven’t done any real weight training in about three years or so. Basically, I’m using this as a sort of pre-conditioning for what’s to come. I plan on doing this system for another few weeks then I’ll change it up a little.
By the way, I’m not a fan of upright rows!

hey man, I used to be an exercise science major, a great book (I see you’re training to failure) is body by science, save you time and get you strong!
Thanks Geoff! I’ll check it out. How are things down there in Corpus? You know that’s where my wife is from. I even went to STSCS down there for a semester.
Wow, that’s where I go to school…weird.
Things are well, and I like the weather. How’re things not here?
Things up here are nice. I like how not humid it is.
