Dirty 30 around the corner

[chornick]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm very excited about the nerd fitness community/program/lifestyle. I've been lifting weights for the past few months but really ran across nerd fitness a month ago and it changed everything for me. I've started and quit lifting a dozen times because I would work arms one day, legs another, and chest another day etc... it would leave me sooo sore I didn't ever want to come back. Plus I hurt my back about 6 months ago and it really made me scared to work out again.

 

Now I have a new plan and new fitness goals. And it's just in time cause I was getting a little 'pudgy' and definitely weak and I'm turning 30 in 3 months. I'm a pretty skinny guy who wants to be a 'ranger'. I've lost 4 pounds in the past couple of months but I think it's mostly do to trying go paleo. I seam to only get there 2/3 of the time.

 

My new routine - All in a circuit except for the running.

Day 1

Run 5 minutes

Bench

Squat

Inverted Row

Plank

 

Day 2
Run 5 minutes

Deadlift (haven't started them yet until I have someone make sure I'm doing them right.)

Assisted Pull Up

Standing Military Press

Reverse Crunches

 

Day 3 

Run 5 minutes

Assisted Dip

Assisted Chin Up

Decline Barbell Bench

Reverse Crunches

 

My 2014 Goals:

200lb squat

150lb bench

10 pull ups - These are killing me!!!

150lb deadlift

 

Thanks for any help and support. This is the best I've felt about working out in a long time.

Welcome,

Are you going to start a six week challenge?

Your workout routine seems well planned out.

Good lick and welcome to the rebellion.

Welcome to the rebellion! Love the detail you have already planned for your workouts.

 

Deadlifts are wonderful and will become your friend shortly. And even though I don't know your stats, I'm betting you will get well above 150 faster than you think.
