1 hour of cardio is great!

 

 

Do you have any goals about increasing the speed or intensity of it?

 

 

Thanks! I try to increase both... speed (distance) and intensity... but that's not my primary goal... just doing cardio as intensive as possible to get a negative energy balance and loosing fat (work's well...). Later I would like to jog more. By now I'm able to jog for a hour, but everytime I do this my knees ache or any muscle... have to start a jog training soon to get this problem fixed and getting able to do longer distances. (20 km as far goal would be great, closer goal is to jog the 10km more often... like once a week... that would be pretty cool )

Well... At the moment I can't do the crosstrainer, so I have to get my fat less in another way...

so I decided to do 2 workouts this day (at a strech). When I had finished I thought I could cycle a bit... so today was a really long training day...

i was just clicking through the boards and saw this thread. the german name made me open it actually.

 

i don't mean to offend you in any way but after reading over the stuff you posted here i have to give you an advice concerning your training. as far as i am able to jugde your training schedule it looks like you made every possible mistake you could have done. you really need to think about it again, add a lot of basic excercises and learn how to schedule your work out right.

I guess pretty much everybody makes mistakes, I have to agree with Phil that a couple things could be improved...

 

First of all, I think you should forget about the machines and use free weights. Big difference in muscle growth and especially

functional strength. Have somebody show you techniques so you don't mess yourself up. Try squat, lunges, deadlifts,

military press, bench press... do rows in all free weight variations, bodyweight exercises are also cool, do dips and forget the lat machine, do pullups...

 

Secondly, use whole body movements, I already posted the best exercises above...

 

In addition to theses tips I'd advise you to use heavier weights. The ideal weight for muscle growth is one that will allow you to do about 8-10 reps, 15 is okay for a start if you're new to lifting and worried about getting injured but 20 is too much.

 

There are a lot of good articles in the net (including this website) and also a lot of good routines.

Check out other peoples routines here and don't forget about nutrition and rest.

Good luck!

Hey, if you don't say, what I'm doing wrong, I can't approach the problem! List it!

After being told, that everything I've done in the gym, was wrong, I was a little bit demotivated.

I agree in a lot of points (furthermore xphilx wrote my a pm), but it sounds really hard and it is in fact demotivating telling other people everything they do in gym is WRONG.

 

I had in mind to do more free weights, but next 6 weeks I won't have the possibility to go to gym, so it would have been bullshit. Also I had much to less rest between my workouts, but that was intended and is not for eternity. My split isn't really good, but I had no other idea, because my workouts were getting longer and longer.

... ...

 

But thanks for your feedback, I'll have to get a new training program and do more natural exercises like the exerc. with weights and just the bodyweight (they are more "friendly" to me anyway).

 

Next weeks I have to do pushups and stuff like this, jog...

hey!

 

don't let yourself get demotivated. you're doing nothing "wrong". starting with machines is actually a good idea to get your body used to the new burden. as you have already told, you are going to switch to free weights sometime in the future.

since you are planning to gain muscle mass and lose weight at the same time, doing a lot of cardio isn't that bad.

remember: having a "bad" workout plan is always better than sitting around doing nothing

Demotivated? Dude, set yourself straight. Now you probably know more how you should do and you should become more motivated. If no one had said anything you would probably continue this routine for a longer time and, trust me, the abscence of progress would demotivate you more than the truth Phil told you ever could.

Not enough people on this board has the "courage" to tell the truth because everyone wants everyone to be happy. Igonrance is bliss so to say. We need more constructive critisism.

Yes, i agree with that. It was just annoying that I had a false training and now I've no time for learning a new routine at the moment... I'm so to speak in a waiting status (see my last postings).

But anyway.. I'm thankful for your criticism and hope that I can realize your suggestions soon.
