OK I been thinking latly, and with school starting, I need somthing that can be done 3 days a week that will give me strength, and maybe hopfully help get rid some body fat.

heres my idea

Workout one
bench press 5 sets supersetted w/ t bar rows 5 sets
Incline db press 5 sets supersetted w/pul ups 5 sets

physio ball flys 4 sets
skull crushers 4 sets
dips 4 sets

workout 2
Squats 5 sets

jumping squats 3 sets supsetted seted leg curls 4 sets
standing leg curls super setted with leg extensions 4 sets

bb curls 5 sets
hammer curls 4 sets

workout 3

Up right rows 4 sets super setted w/
arnold presses 3 sets

One arm cleans 3 sets

one leged leg press 3 sets
deadlifts 5 sets
glut ham


SHoulder day is very watered down I know, I can't do too much cause of cheerleading shoulder wise, cause cheerleading is a military press over and over again.
any suggestons?
Also 10 mins cardio done on work out days, and abbs 2 times a week as I need

It's a french press, type of tri-extension but laying on your back.

lying on back, on a bench,head off bench, easy curl bar or straight you hold the weight as if your going to bench press it, however holding your elbows toward the ceiling, you lower the weight past your head, behind you, then push back to lock out keeping your elbows in and up.

The reason you lower behind the head, as to toward your head are for safty reasons, and its nto full range, i fyou lower behind your head, gravity keeps tension on the tris the whole way up and down, and a beter stretch of the tricep.

try some of the workouts I have posted if you're are really serious about this. They are tried and tested and have shown great results for a variety of people. You can be a like a fly trying find its way out and keep banging your head into the window or you can try something new and fly around the corner out the door to freedom.
