Too much?

[Les Flack]

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to know if my workouts are too much and are well rounded enough.

 

Routine 1

Pull Ups – 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Closed Push Ups – 3 x 10

Uneven Push Ups – 3 x 5 each side

Assisted Pistol Squats – 3 x 5 each side

Side Squats – 3 x 5 each side

Wall Crawls (down) – 2 x 5

Tripod – 3 x 30 sec holds

Frog Stands – 3 x 15 sec holds

 

Routine 2

Dips – 3 x 5

Archer Push Ups – 3 x 5 each side

Plyo Push Ups – 3 x 5

Closed Squats – 3 x 20

Jumping Lunges – 3 x 5 each side

Bridges – 3 x 30 sec holds

Fingertip Plank – 3 x 30 sec holds

L-Sits (knees tucked) – 3 x 30 sec holds

Hanging Knee Raises – 3 x 10

 

I am doing 30 sec rests between reps and sets and doing 4-5 times a week alternating between the routines.

My goal is not so much about muscle gains. Happy to lose fat and tone right up whilst building strength.

 

Happy to hear thoughts.

 

Cheers

This program looks good to me, Les!

However, since individual fitness varies tremendously from person to person, there’s no way for me to know if it is appropriate for your fitness level.

Hi Al,

Thanks for feedback. The first routine is a variation of a workout you wrote in Pushing the Limits.

In terms of fitness, I have built up on each and listen to my body to ensure I push myself without sacrificing form.

Good to know I am on the right track and look forward to hearing when you visit Australia again.

 

Cheers

Les
