Haven\'t been in a while, what to do?
I haven't been to the gym to lift in about 2 months. I have been playing baseball and running, but my diet has suffered and I've lost a lot of weight/mass.
Tomorrow is my first day in the gym. What type of program should I do? I'm open to lift as often as possible/needed? Should I do any cardio? I'd like to start swimming- how do I fit this into my schedule? For the record, I'd like to get bigger and stronger! (Lol). |

Go easy. Don't hurt yourself trying to lift what you used to lift.
Lift: M,W,F Swim/Run T,TH,Sat |

Static,
Since I'm starting 'fresh' I'd like to get a different routine than the push/pull I was doing- any ideas? |

Re: Haven\'t been in a while, what to do?
Nothing fancy. I'm a big fan of the total body plan 3X a week.
Focus on Squats, Deads, Rows, Presses, Overhead Presses, and Pullups. Throw in some olympic lifts if you know them/are willing to learn them. Clean & press/jerk, Snatch. I know that's nothing new or groundbreaking, but those lifts will get you bigger and stronger. Sample program (my current schedule +/- a few things): Monday: Clean and press Squat Rack pulls Flat bench Pullups and Dips Wednesday: Clean and Jerk Front squat or Lumber Jack Squat Dumbbell Flat Bench 1-Arm Dumbbell Row Friday: Snatch Heavy Squat Heavy Bench T-Bar Row Weighted pullups and weighted dips |
