What is your weight lifting schedule? I know that mine tends to vary a little bit but on a weekly basis I beleive for me the best weight lifting schedule is to workout three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and on each of these days I will do weights.

As far as cardio is concerned I feel that I am ok these days with my bike partway into work and home and the only reason these days that I am hitting the gym is to do the weight training that I can not do otherwise.

I have covered in the past what kind of workout that I will do on those weight days but basically I have been sticking to a schedule of circuit training that has me do three circuits of bench press, lat pulldowns or rows, lateral raises, bicep curls, and tridcep pushdowns all in a very quick kind of set. One thing that I will just touch on here is that i do each of my sets to near failure.

For people looking ot lose weight I still feel that this weight lifting schedule is very good. One thing that you will want to add though is some kind of leg exercises. To really push your metabolism up it is important to do weights against your biggest muscle groups and these would be the quadriceps, lats, and chest.

One thing to be very careful aobut though is your recovery time. Years ago I found that my workouts would be far to long and too often and I would always be overtrained. If you start having trouble getting though your workouts, are sore before you even start, are not making good gains then there is a possibility that you are overdoing things and the best thing to do is scale back the worlouts a bit.

So what is your weight lifting schedule? Are you lifting this often or not? What kind of exercises and number of sets are you doing?

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.
