I weigh once a week on Monday when I first wake up and check BF with an Omron BF monitor, not perfect but gives me an idea. As long as I can see a six pack I know I'm 8% or less.
Today I weighed 157 and 8.5% BF.
Today was my first workout for 2012 and was Chest and Biceps. I just came off a 5x5 workout (5 sets of 5 reps HEAVY) and am moving back to a more normal 3 sets of 8-10 reps workout. I change my workout routine every 90 days doing the same body parts, but different exercises to help avoid plateaus.
Incline Dumb Bell Press - 70/70/70 10/9/8
Flat Dumb Bell Press - 70/70/70 8/7/8
Dumb Bell Fly - 35/35/35 10/11/10 (go heavier next week)
Standing Dumb Bell Curl - 40/40/40 8/8/8
Preacher Dumb Bell Hammer Curl - 25/25/25 12/12/12 (go heavier next week)
Cable Curl - 100/100/100 10/9/8
No cardio in the winter.....I save that for the spring so I can focus calories on building size/shape.

I work so much I just don't have time to drive to a gym that has one, the gym I go to doesn't have this, but I'm trying to get to the point where I have my own mini gym at home! |
I love the Arc trainer. Found one on Craigslist for 1999. Going to check woodlands online too. Im between getting that or a stair stepper, stair steppers are cheaper. Idk.

I work 40 hours a week, go to class, study my butt of, make time for my friends, and still find time to fit in 3-5 workouts a week. If you set your mind to it you will find the time.
