Overtraining And Workout Help Posted: 10-20-05 16:21pm
Ok, i'm 17 years old and I just sort of
started working out in the summer. I've
been working out my abs for over a year
though, i've done 100 reps every night for
every day without fail. I'm quite
limited in what I have to work out with,
but I have the basics. I have a
dumbell, and a bar. I'm quite new to
working out, so please excuse my lack of
knowledge on the subject. First off, I
would just like to explain my workout,
which is performed every night of the
week:
-lower back stretches and strengthening
excersises (i injured my back muscles once
and i've slowly been recovering through
these back excersises.)
-abdominal workout (100 reps)
-bench press (dont have a bench, only the
bar. So I lie on the ground and press 2
sets of 30 reps of 70 pounds lol dont
laugh.)
-curls: 20 pounds (i don't know if this is
good or not, but I do 20 in my right arm,
20 in my left arm, 10 in my right arm, 10
in my left arm, etc until I get to five in
each. After doing the set for one arm,
I continue to curl until the arm is
completely tired, then I switch arms.)
is this too much for an everyday workout?
Or should I not even be working out
everyday? It takes me around 30 minutes
or so to do everything, so its not a very
intense workout. I've noticed a huge
improvement in my biceps and abs. But
i'm wondering if i'm overtraining? Is
there something else I should be doing to
help my body to continue to grow more
muscle? Any help or suggestions are
appreciated. Even if you'd change my
entire workout schedule, please comment.
Thanks,
paul miller

Not really I dont think so I wish I could
bench press...Anyways I do
about 150-200 crunchers everyday
50 leg raises
around 75 pushups (in like 3 or 2 sets)
20 pound dumbells 15 on each arm then move
sideaways working oblique
sometimes I do 10 or 15 reps of the
abwheel (it's really hard)
i got wrist grips but that don't really
count but I can hold them up to a minute
