Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Hi there, welcome to my training journal.

At this time I've three goals:
- reduce my weight (about 8-10 kg = 22lbs)
- to get a grip on my RSI-problem
- getting more muscles

My English isn't the best, so please correct me

That's three months ago, so I've to remember what I started with...

Dumbbell - Shoulder Raise Straight Arm:3x20x9lbs (4kg)
Dumbbell - Biceps Curl: 3x20x13lbs (6kg)

Lower Back: 3x20x44lbs (20kg)
Upper Back - Seated Pulley Rowing: 3x20x33lbs (15kg)
Abdominal Crunch: 3x20x44lbs (20kg)
Lat Machine - Pull Down Back: 3x20x44lbs (20kg)

Vertical Chest Press: 3x20x33lbs (15kg)

Cable - Bent Over Triceps Extension: 3x20x25lbs (11.5kg)

Leg Press: 3x20x66lbs (30kg) [later 77lbs (35kg)]

That's the actual program:

Dumbbell - Shoulder Raise Straight Arm:3x20x11lbs (5kg)
Dumbbell - Biceps Curl: 3x20x22lbs (10kg)

Lower Back: 3x15x66lbs (30kg)
Upper Back - Seated Pulley Rowing: 3x20x55lbs (25kg)
Abdominal Crunch: 3x20x77lbs (35kg)
Lat Machine - Pull Down Back: 3x20x66lbs (30kg)

Vertical Chest Press: 3x20x55lbs (25kg)
Rotary Torso: 2x20x121lbs (55kg); 1 set/side

Dumbbell - Shoulder Raise Straight Arm:3x20x11lbs (5kg)
Dumbbell - Biceps Curl: 3x20x22lbs (10kg)

Cable - Bent Over Triceps Extension: 3x20x36lbs (16.5kg)

Lower Back: 3x15x66lbs (30kg)
Lat Machine - Pull Down Back: 3x20x77lbs (35kg)
Abdominal Crunch: 3x20x77lbs (35kg)

I'm doing this program 3-4 days/week, but I'll need some other training progam - it's too time expensive. In January/February I'll just have time during the weekends.
Would be great if anyone has an idea, how I can keep up my state during these two months.
During the weekends, I'll have maaaaaany time, so i can have a big program

Today I tried to train with more weights and less reps.
So let's see...

Starting from now the weights will be in lbs only.

Lat Machine: 12x88, 12x99, 9x110, 11x99, 10x88
Cable - Bent Over Tricpes Ext.: 3x12x46
Butterfly Machine: 20x44, 3x11x55

Butterfly Machine: 2x15x66, 2x15x55
Vert. Chest Press: 2x11x66, 11x55

about 90 minutes...

My first workout with more weights and less reps was very chaotic. I don't know if my workout plan is good!? I hope you'll help me a little bit to get a better one.
This was day 1, day 2 I thought I'll do the stomach and back, day 3 legs(?) I don't know...

Saturday:
Today was mainly back and stomach day. I've added my biceps, because the last workout wasn't enough for it...

Lower Back: 3x20x55 (had to be careful, because it was overtrained a little bit)
Abdominal Crunches: 20x66, 3x12x77, 3x12x66, 3x20x55

Dumbbell Biceps Curl: 3x20x20, 3x15x22, 3x15x20 (in the end: pain in the hand, wirst)
Rotary Torso: 2x20x110, 2x15x132, 2x15x143, 2x15x121, 2x20x110

Cardio (Cross Trainer): 1h at 150-160bpm.

Body Weight: 168.5 (lost about 3lbs already)

Keep up the good work.

Get down!

If you work out Sat, Sun, plus one other day (even for 45 min), you should be fine.
You can follow a 3 split and see good results.
