Favourite Exercise???

As a full body workout, it does the trick (although you missed your back to balance it out); but if you plan on going to the gym on a regular basis, it is not good for you.

Your body needs rest between workouts, and doing full body workouts each workout is not good for your body. This is why workout programs that focus on groups of body parts each day are ideal for someone who goes to the gym regularly.

Of course, this is only if you plan on hitting the gym 4-5 times a week. Otherwise, enjoy your routine!

Hmm, I couldn't think of a back exercise conducive to this kind of speed workout. When I lift I do deadlifts, but tend to keep them slow-ish. I wish I had a place in my garage to do dips (I love dips for some reason), but can't really think of a good way of doing them. Any suggestions? All I have is a bench and some barbells.

As far as the over training thing, I was probably planning on only doing this once a week or so and replacing one of my other workouts. No forever mind you, just 6-12 weeks or so and see how it goes.

Didn't realize this was all at home, that definitely limits things but there are still lots of options.

You could do bent over barbell rows, or put plates on only one end of the barbell and do a variation of a t-bar row (put non-weighted end in the corner of the room to keep it in place). That's one of my favourite back exercises, plus it's great for your core.

As for dips, put a chair about 3-4 ft from the bench and do bench dips. It's not gonna work you chest as much a regular dips, but its great for the triceps.

I had forgot about t-bar rows. Good call

Dude, did some t-bar rows today and loved it. Thanks for the advice.

I wish we had more fitness/training/work-out dialogue on here. There really isn't a great place on the internet for that. Bodybuilding.com is all meathead talk about which cycle to do to increase your traps and 4chan /fit/ is a bunch of 15 year old spouting bro-science and calling each other gay.

I got to BB.com all the time as there is some great info there, but yeah, I don't ever engage conversations over there.

Fitness talk is tough because everyone really has a different idea on what is a proper.

I go there a lot to read discussions on supplements or workout programs, but it can often be difficult to find a decisive answer.
