Work out routines?

DamonWofford Posts: 7 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/02/19, 01:20 AM I am a new member and I got my weekly work out routines but i feel that the amount of working out is not that much. Is it ok for me to add excercises, or should i just stick with what I am given. Thanks

The exercise that they gave me, on the day for chest it doesnt even have flat bench which i like alot. Is it ok for me to add flat bench?

If I work out a lone I can get thru 3 machines somewhat quick. with a 20sec rest between sets. So I just add in a few. Make sure you don't over work areas, and you rest up the properly however.

Now I'm not sure if the FT workouts are well planned, but they seem to do a decent job of hitting all muscles. The reason that you're supposed to stick to a routine is to prevent overtraining or undertraining anything and to avoid imbalances. Generally you're going to be stronger in your favorite exercises and not strong enough in your least favorite. The message is, slow down on the exercises you like and pick it up on the ones you don't. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
