Do we have one of these? I just started a new program, that I kinda blended with a BFS program I learned a few years back. Basically, you track total weight lifted per exercise, per day, per week. You then make adjustments every week to "beat" what you did the week before, trying to lift more on every exercise, every week, even if it is a small increase, as they will add up in time.
Anyone do anything like this? We're basically doing a hodge-podge of exercises, but trying to focus on one muscle group per day.
Thoughts? What kinds of exercise routines do you/have you done where you find the biggest improvements? I am not a supplement guy.

the paleo thread has some good stuff in it.
one thing in there that i really like was reverse pyramid. instead of going up in weight and down in reps, you reverse it.

The most important muscle in the body is the heart so I run.ernest_t_bass;1460704 wrote:

Natural resistance like push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups are good. Weights are bad.

P90X2. I like it got body fat tested two months ago after doing my second round and was at 6.8%. I was in very good shape when I started but it has taken it to a new level.

I saw some nice gains using this method, especially with lower body stuff (squats, leg press, etc.)hasbeen;1460744 wrote:the paleo thread has some good stuff in it.

We had a P90X that died out and some started posting workout stuff on the paleo thread.
I try to do three days weight training based on P90X.
Two days of indoor cardio with Insanity.
In the summer bike or run once or twice a week. In the winter swim once a week.

Not a fan. At least group the muscles together to alternate on a day.ernest_t_bass;1460704 wrote:but trying to focus on one muscle group per day

No, not solely on one group. We'll put a main focus on one group, or a pair, and mix in some other sets, targeting other muscles. Today, we did about 4 triceps exercises, and littered in some legs, bi's, chest, etc.Sonofanump;1460863 wrote:Not a fan. At least group the muscles together to alternate on a day.

OK, gotcha. I like grouping two or three per session and don't like doing a major muscle (chest or legs) more than once every 4-5 days. Have fun.ernest_t_bass;1460867 wrote:No, not solely on one group. We'll put a main focus on one group, or a pair, and mix in some other sets, targeting other muscles.

I'm in the middle of another round of P90 right now. I did it a few years ago and dropped 30 lbs. After some sympathy weight gain with the recent baby, I'm trying to get back to form. If you don't have a ton of time to work out, P90 is pretty quick, easy, and gets decent results.

But what I really got into was Doing hang cleans, powercleans and snatches. THe Snatches were unreal help in regards to improving hip power and front delt strength. Would do 5x5 sets on these
I don't do any of those, bc I'm no longer an athlete.

The workouts for the first 45 days are under 30 minutes. That counts as pretty quick in my book.
