Good but not good enough
by: JT

First, I want to say congratulations on your focus and determination with obvious results. 20 lbs in 2 months is a great accomplishment.

I noticed however you have not included solid back exercises on any of the days. On arms and back days, you start by working out your small muscle groups and you have no exercises for the big back muscles. Keep in mind the back muscles can make up to 70% of your upper body muscle mass. They are a group of quite large muscles, some extend from your upper back all the way to your lower back, and just like legs, need to be worked out so as to get most of the overall systemic benefits of developing the big muscle groups. Not to mention the need for a good well balanced torso - chest, upper back, abs and lower back all need to balance eachother out so as to maintain a tight core and avoid creating tension and imbalance. Also, when working out the big upper body muscle groups, you are working out your arms as well. That is why you don't necessarily have to focus on arms as much, and why a few sets of high reps are often employed to finish up a chest/arms or back/arms or even shoulder/arms split. For instance, dips are great for chest/shoulder/triceps and a good finish for a chest day. So are around-the-worlds, and so are DB pullovers.

I would suggest starting with some back-width sets like pulldowns/pullups, some thickness sets like seated rows, or even just rowing machine on cardio days, making sure you always squeeze those shoulder blades together and hold for a second or two at the peak of contraction. Add deadlifts once you've been doing good on back extensions, add good old barbell squats here and there, add good old squats and presses and you will reach a new level of fitness and muscle development.

Lastly, I would recommend less time spent warming, though making sure blood is flowing nicely, employing a warm up set every time you beggin with a muscle group, and investing more time on cardio at the end of your weight training. This way you will be fresh for weight training, being able to train a bit heavier, with better form and focus, and you will be targeting fat loss/cardio (depending on heart rate) after you've exhausted your glycogen reserves - that is, if you're still going for fat loss/definition. It will also help switching it up every 4-6 weeks. Or even every 4th week going lighter, or heavier, or doing intervals, supersetting, tabata, so much that can be done within the weight training routine. Keep your body guessing and let it recover, rebuild, and re-adapting. That's key!

You're on the right path, keep up the good work, and keep inspiring others.

Best,
JT

Great Plan, John
by: Anonymous

I like the plan you've posted. i'm in the want-to-lose-fat-but-gain-muscle-camp. This is the most detailed, and doable plan i've seen. Is it possible to do your cardio on a bike or elliptical? I have bad knees.

Thanks
