Over the year that I've been around this site, as just a browser and then a user, I've noticed that there are people always wanting to know the best work out they can get, and with that everyone post there work out and the process continues over and over for many a threads. The search function is great but if we can get this thread as a sticky it would hopefully get rid of all those annoying threads!
What I would love from all you fellow Poolee's and Wannabe's is your PT! Your normal work outs, runs, and also how you increase your pull up's and crunches.
I've just finally been able to start a steady workout and sadly it wont last that long, once school start's I can start my old workout with lifting weights.
Monday's and Friday's I do IST's.
Tuesday's I work on upper body work out's. I always do 3 max sets of ever exercise I do.
Thursday's I do my core workout. Once again its 3 max sets of every exercise I do.
Wed's are my PFT days. I do my pull ups, go do my crunches, the I take 10-15 minutes and do alot of warming up and getting streched out. I go out run my 3 miles come back and do more streching so I dont get sore the next day. I normally will do another set of max pull up's after.
Saturday is what I call my free day. I will normally try to go out and just do something different. I sometimes bike, go help my friend's who own farms, or even lift weights. Im not much of a weight lifter in the summer.
Sunday's are my resting day. I just like to relax and enjoy my day.
PS: Everyday I do pull up's EXCEPT SUNDAY'S! When I have a poolee function coming up that week I dont run my PFT and I go a bit lighter on my work outs, but I still push myself. I will normally take that friday off and just rest up, and make sure im healthy for that saturday.
PSS: I use to be horrible at pull up's and I've finally found out a way to help me increase my pull up's. I make sure I do max sets every day. My pull up bar is right next to my computer, so I try to do 5-7 set's a day. I will do this for about 10 days. I then wont do a single pull up for about 3-4 days, giving my body some time to rest and to let my muscle's grow. I will then hit the bar after those days just to do a max set. I grow from 2-3 pull up's every time I do this. I've just started doing this program. I use to be constant 8-9 pull up's and decided I would try this. After my first round I went up to 13 pull up's. It was weird to be counting I hit 7 and was like WOW! Im not even extremely tired yet!!
PSSS: I use to have the highest crunch count at my RSS. I use to do 130 in the 2 minutes, and after wrestling season, they went to complete ****. I dont know how, or why, but they just decreased and now im trying to figure out a way to be able to increase them. My core work out is helping, but they are not increasing like I would like them to.
So, everyone post your workout's so those people who are wanting to get into better shape and look at this thread and get different idea's and wont have to make those annoying threads!!
