New Workout Update

February 3rd, 2009 kNuke Posted in ACL Surgery Adventure | No Comments »

I outlined my new workout framework in a previous post, but I’ve since updated it.  I felt that squeezing 4 main exercises into 3 workouts a week was going to be too long and taxing.  Instead, I’m going to be working out 4 times a week, but with only 3 main exercises.  I’m going with a Quad/Push and Hamstring/Pull split.

Quad/Push
Exercise 1: Bench Press
Exercise 2: Leg Press
Exercise 3: Military Press

Hamstring/Pull
Exercise 1: Pull up / Lat Pulldown
Exercise 2: Deadlift
Exercise 3: BB / DB Row

I’m keeping the same rep and weight scheme; lifting a 4-6 rep weight as quickly as possible till I get to 25 reps.

I plan to workout on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I’ll be doing a 15-incline treadmill walk at 3-4 MPH on Wednesday and HIIT on Sunday. I also plan to walk on the treadmill while watching TV or surfing the Internet while at home as much as possible.

I’m pretty excited about this new workout! If you have any questions or want to join along, let me know.
