Unsure On Current Routine

Post by DoubleG »

I dont actually follow a routine but..I devote around an hour to exercising.
Within that hour I usually do 150 normal push ups, 50 declining push ups, 80 sit ups, and a 15 minute run. Then every consequent hour I do 30 push ups throughout the day. At night, I do another 100 push ups and 30 sit ups. I have also recently added some chest presses into work out routine and one hand push ups...is this workout routine fine? I also play 2 hours of basketball on the weekends.
I dont seem to be working any other muscles besides the chest and abs.
So far, i havent seen much of a result..Is workout routine fine? I dont go to the gyms and all exercises are done at home.

your right you are only wotking abs and chest mainly which will give you numerous postural and movement deficencies

body row / inverted rows are excellent for the back as well as pull ups and chin ups

handstand push ups against a wall are probably the best you can do for shoulders full stop

bodyweight tricep extensions ditto for triceps

an i exercise i invented (look i probably didn't actually invent it but i've never seen it done) are pull ups a grip so that hands are about 6 - 8" apart at most with palms facing away from you...simply do a regular chin up (you'll need your feet on a bench) but keep your elbows right out in front of you...kills the biceps and ecspecially the forearms

obviusly squats, lunges and hip extension variations are the way to go for the lower body

i would try and follow a set program as it let's you know whwre you are and aren't progressing which is what training is all about
