First Blog posting in 2011 and NEW ROUTINE!

First I want to apologize for violating my New Years Resolution in my failure to post here on a regular basis. As a blogger I am a failure! A loser!
Anyway, I am excited to share a new workout routine with you and it unlike any routine I have ever followed and it's awesome!!!
This routine is completely off the chain... It is the antithesis of every program you've ever heard of or read about (in magazines)… I train EVERY bodypart everyday! I actually choose one exercise for each bodypart and perform 4 tough sets (five days per week). In other words, my bodyparts don't rest on days in between. So on a typical workout, I'll spend ten minutes stretching and then immediately perform 4 sets of chest and 4 sets of back (supersetted), then four sets of triceps & biceps (superset), then one deltoid exercise supersetted with an abdonminal exercise, then one quad, one hamstring and then calf exercise(4 supersets). The whole workout only takes one hour with buckets of sweat.
I am actually making gains, I guess because it's not something my body is used to. The way I came up with it…I have a good friend who recently retired from the SEALS and he informed me they never rest their bodys, they exercise everything every single day, endless pullups, pushups, dips, lunges and then free weights as well as swimming. It works for them so I thought it might work for me. (tough I realize they probably consume 6000-7000 calories per day!)
One thing I am doing that I believe helps, I drink BCAA's (branch chain amino acids) both prior to and immediately after my workouts. I also supplement my protein intake with 100 total grams of whey protein per day (two 50 gram whey isolate shakes per day) in addition to my three meals. So I am probably comsuming 200+ grams of protein per day. You should try this! My little injuries are fine. I think you'll like this workout, you'll be very sore for the first couple of days but you work through the pain and go at it anyway.

Here is what I did this morning:

Warmup: 10 min. of full body stretching
A1)Decline Bench Press: 4 sets of 8-8-12-12
A2)Chest Supported Rowing Machine: 4 sets of 10 reps
B1)Tricep Pushdowns: 4 sets of 10 reps
B2)Hammer Curls: 4 sets of 8-8-10-9
C1)Side Lateral Raises (seated): 4 sets of 15 reps
C2)Hanging Leg Raises: 4 sets of 15 reps
D1)Leg Extensions: 4 sets of 12 reps
D2)Seated (upright) Leg Press Machine: 4 sets of 15 reps
D3)Standing Calf Raises: 4 sets of 14-15 reps

Give it a try!
