my favorite exercise is the push-up, which i do every other day
favorite mostly because it's just efficient (3 muscles in 1), i absolutely hate working out so the less time i spend on each session the more often i'll be managing to do them
the problem here is that if i do dumbbell rows on the same day or even in-between, i find that my shoulders get really sore
are they actually getting worked that much in a dumbbell row or am i doing it wrong? google is giving me messy results :plekhanov-bewildered:
as for my routine it has been:
day 1: push-ups, squats
day 2: hammer curl, leg curl, crunches/shrugs, calf raises
day 3: repeat day 1
day 4: repeat day 2
day 5: crunches/shrugs and rest
crunches/shrugs means i randomly alternate between these two (which is why i include them in my rest day), i don't like doing crunches and i'd rather avoid making my traps too large (short neck lol)
3 sets of 8-12 reps as long it goes near failure (adding weights otherwise), 90-120 seconds of rest between each set (is this too much rest?)
supposedly on day 1 i'm focusing on shoulders, triceps, chest, quadriceps, glutes, and on day 2 i'm doing biceps, forearms, hamstrings, traps/abs and calves. am i missing anything here besides aerobics, or any muscle besides the lats? i'd hate to growth that's too uneven :deeper-sadness:
huh i did find that some days the exercise felt a lot harder than others - maybe in the harder days i was actually doing it correctly
i'll try that, though i didn't know rows actually involved the triceps... i really wanted to isolate the back :( i'll do it anyway
