Your gym/exercise routine

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Used to go to the gym a lot when I was in my early twenties. Haven't been for about three years. But have kept most of my muscle mass, and maintained a relatively high metabolism. But the other side of the coin, my heavy legs and muscle mass has really hurt my aerobic capacity, speed, agility and flexibility.

Be careful how you train when you are young and still developing. Keep it functional. If you develop yourself into a beefcake with tiny legs when you're young to impress skirt, then you'll carry the effects of this into adulthood. If youre into playing sport you'll probably be more susceptible to injury and lose overall athleticism.

And you'll just look like an utter campaigner.

And you'll just look like an utter campaigner.

I think that's the aim. Don't want your deep V-neck Elwood shirt flapping in the breeze.

One of the most ripped people I've ever known was a bloke I used work with. Would've been late 20s and not more than about 5'8, 5'9'' tops. Be surprised if he was more than 75kg but trained pretty seriously for triathlons so every muscle group was cut, plus he still had athleticism to compete in his chosen sport. Probably built like a shorter Cristiano Ronaldo for the sake of comparison. I certainly don't have the dedication to get to that level of fitness and strength, but if you're going to spend that much time on it that's the way to go IMO. Half the people I see leaving the gym just look like the sort of dickheads that start fights at festivals. And the sort of dickheads whose job it is to break up fights at festivals. I just don't see the point in getting to a size where it actually prevents you from doing things. Not being able to ride my bike or play a game of social soccer etc. because you've made your upper body too big just makes me shake my head.

I try to get a balance between cardio and weights.
2-3 times per week - practical exercises that can be applied to everyday life, e.g. Squats, bench press, overhead press, pull ups, dips, and rows.
2-3 times per week - cardio or high intensity interval training.
Also a core routine and stretching routine is really important IMO.
