Trainer Dan...or any other eggspert...
I've got a question about my routine...I was wondering if it's too much and if it sounds like it would be effective for weight loss and for developing a fit and tight body.
I lift weigts M-W-F at lunchtime. I'm focusing more on my chest than other parts, so I do two different chest exercises using dumbells, doing 3 sets with each exercise, then I do another chest exercise using one of the machines, I also do 3 sets, from there I use one of the machines where you rotate the weights and do curls and I do 5 sets of that, and then another 5 sets on a machine for the triceps. With each exercise, I try to do the same number of reps for each exercise 15-12-8. Would I get better, or the same, results on my chest if I cut back one of the exercises...am I doing too much for one body part?
The weight lifting I do at lunchtime, then in the evenings on M-T-W-Th I take a martial arts class, 2 hours a night on M-W and 1 hour a night on T-Th. The first hour of the M-W class is fairly intensive, particularly on the legs, but since I don't work the legs while lifting I figure it's okay. The T-Th class is also fairly intensive, but more so on the arms via throwing a lot of punches. One thing I was wondering was if muscles are getting the proper rest inbetween lifting days when I'm doing all those punches in the T-Th martial arts class.
Thanx for your input.
