Push Day!

Alright, so:

One problem that I used to encounter around resistance training was that my gym visits weren't consistent enough to maintain a decent split around body parts. I would rotate between chest and back days, almost totally neglecting my arms and legs on a regular basis.

Thanks to Jay, I'm onto a much simpler program that fits into my otherwise busy fitness schedule. "Push" day is as follows:

Bench Press ---> work up to a single max set of 5 reps*
Dips ---> 3 sets x 8-10 reps
Shoulder Press ---> "
Tricep Pushdown ---> "
Single Leg Squat ---> "
Pistol Squat ---> "
Back Extensions ---> 3 sets, each to exhaustion
Supermans ---> 3 sets, each to exhaustion

(Today, just to be sassy, I threw in some weighted calf raises. Why not?)

And just in case any of my 3 blog readers were wondering, my Bench Press 5-rep max is 195lbs on a Smith Machine. Now you know.

[180.4]
