What do you think of this program?

Hi guys,

Recently I have been doing some working out at home and its going really well. I have been doing press ups, crunches, dips and squats at home an the schedule is worked out via an app.

So I decided to invest a bit of time in trying to put together a more complete program, based off some research on the internet. Ive attempted to have a variety of exercises while still working out the the main muscle groups. I'd love to hear the thoughts of some of the more seasoned campaigners here

Tuesday
Upper Body|Biceps/Triceps|Bicep curl
Lower Body|Glutes|Knee to Chest
Core|Abs|Sit-Ups/Crunches
Upper Body|Shoulder|Lateral Raise (raise to side)
Lower Body|Upper Leg|Jump squats/Dumbell Squat
Core|Back|Two Dumbell Row

Thursday
Upper Body|Biceps/Triceps|Dips
Lower Body|Glutes|Glute kickback
Core|Abs|Leg raise
Upper Body|Shoulder|Front Raise
Lower Body|Upper Leg|Dumbell Step Up
Core|Back|Back extension

Saturday
Upper Body|Biceps/Triceps|Pushups
Lower Body|Glutes|Calf raises
Core|Abs|Side Bridge
Upper Body|Shoulder|Front Row
Lower Body|Upper Leg|Lunges
Core|Back|Dumbell deadlift



I plan on doing some running or cycling an additional two days a week. Is this too much?


Also, I was wondering how I should organise the reps? I was thinking that if I was doing, for example 20 reps, I would break them up into 5 sets of 2, 4, 6, 4, 2 - how does this sound?

I did sets like that for a while, but instead of fixed reps, I timed them, starting at 45 seconds per exercise. A few of them (knee to chest and front raise) I'm not sure what you're doing, and personally, I don't like lateral raise.

Do you do any presses?

X 2

Loads of bull**** exercises!

I am guessing you don't have a bench?

If I were you I would base my entire routine around

Standing shoulder press
Floor presses
Dumbell squat
Dumbell lunges
Stuff leg dumbel dead lift
Dumbell rows
Chair dips

If you are doing 3 sessions a week I would alternate upper and lower workouts.

ah sorry, I changed the name on some of them so I would remember them easier for myself.
- "Knee-to-chest" is a leg-pull in
- Front raise is like the lateral dumbell raise except to the front, cant remember what name was on it

I might work a few of these in

I dont have a bench.
