First Time in a Long Time

Just wrote down a new workout routine to try out.  Has been some time since I even had a set plan when going to the gym.  Calisthenics aren't doing the trick right now and I need to try something else.  Here is the plan for now...

Push:
  • Back (lats), pulldown
  • Deltoid (side), upright row
  • Back (general), bent over row
  • Trap (upper), shrugs
  • Biceps, bicep curls
Push:
  • Chest (general), bench press
  • Chest (upper), incline bench
  • Deltoid (front), military press
  • Triceps, tricep extensions
Legs:
  • Quadriceps, front squats
  • Hamstrings, straight-leg dead lifts
  • Calves (general), calf raises
  • Abdominal, situps
In the past I used Exercise Prescription (ExRx) to plan a routine so I simply used one of their templates for now.  Aim to hit the gym Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with stretching throughout the week along with cycling.

Ultimate goal is to drop down to 200lbs again, intermediate goal will be 230 by February.  Then again, weight isn't always the best way to measure progress, how you feel and how your clothes fit give you a stronger sign of progress.  Not to mention, it will make you feel better psychologically.

Weather is crappy and it will continue, best time to start utilizing indoor exercise plans.
