Hey, I'd just like to start by saying I'm not too good at creating things, I've not got that good of an imagination, tell me what to do and I'll beat you doing it, tell me to make something, I'll be here next week still thinking ^^'.
After reading and researching, I've found that to build strength - i think - you need to do an exercise that you can preform at least six times, but no more than twelve times. So the optimum would be 9 repititions to build strength and size. So I've thought up this, after a few days >.<
I will tonight, see what how many pushups I can do flat out, legs up higher, then higher and higher, to see which I can preform the optimum ammount at
------------
Start off an hour before working out by eating a nice large bowl of noodles, or pasta to get some carbs into the system.
1) An hour later start with a 30 - 35 minute warm up and stretching routine.
2) Rest for a few minutes to get breathe back, etc...
3) Start with the chest and shoulders, prop up my legs on a high surface, eg table, windowsill, and begin pushups reaching 9, nice and slowly
4) Get up, few seconds arm stretching, chest stretching, then hook my legs onto an upturned chair and use a pillow under the legs to stop any pain, do some sit-ups right down then back up. (If anyone can recommend how other to make situps hard I'd thank you) Preform this 9 times
5) Few minutes rest
6) Repeat nine times doing (palms facing inwards) Chin-ups
7) Hold a squatting position for 3 to 5 minutes, then after that time, do 9 squats with my exercise ball to reduce friction while going up and down
8) Finish up, with some cooling down exercises, and stretching
-----------------
Now you may all savage and destroy my routine telling me where its wrong, although it'll help ^^
