What kind of exercises/workouts do y'all do?

[Cubesareforsquares]

I used to jog, but then I got more into weight lifting.  I do barbell rows, bench pressing, and sit ups using my declined bench.  I used to do more hardcore stuff, waking up at 5am on school mornings, working out from 5:30-6:30, doing 8 sets of 12 reps of bicep curls, and the same amount with push ups while wearing a backpack with about 30lbs in it.  But my newer workouts are easier.  Maybe not as effective with only half the sets now, but I use good weights now.

Recently I haven't been able to workout much, because every time I try to work out or do any kind of physical activity, the right side of my brain hurts like a migraine.  I gotta get my brain checked some time soon.



So, what kind of stuff do you peoples do?

To be honest, I'm a fat, lazy slob that sits in my chair all day browsing the internet. I don't think I've exercised in about eight years. That's when I had PE last.

A good barbell/dumbell exercise for tone is to put about half of your max weight on the bar, then do 25 reps. Wait a minute or so, do 20 reps, then go down 5 reps each time.

If you're in better shape you can either add more weight (for mass gain) or do more reps (for faster toning)

Its a good workout, and boy does it work.

Haha. Tuck, you should try going up the pyramid, and THEN down the pyramid. So much better. And so much more burn.

Idk, I don't find the tone-exercises to help for me, since I'm already as toned as possible (i'm only 120 lbs).
I bench 135 lbs doing 4 sets of 12 reps.  When I have a lot of energy, I do 6 sets, and my chest burns a bit.  It feels awesome.  My abs have been sore for since Sunday, and they're finally starting to stop being so sore.

I haven't really ran or jogged in many months.  Oh well, my goal is to gain weight anyway.

if you want to gain weight, eat a really big meal then go to sleep.

[Cubesareforsquares]

lol not that kind of gaining weight.

haha, bellyoff.  i did 2 weak sets of benching last night, and all day my chest was sore.  I've gotten so much weaker from the 3 weeks spent with my relatives in Michigan, away from the weights and all care for exercise.
