I'm out of practice, but I need to get back into my DDPYoga. I'm planning on starting that this week or next (it was helpful with me losing about 20 pounds a few years back). I'm probably going to start back with the fat burner workout then move on to the strength builder, and maybe in a few weeks start throwing in "Diamond Cutter" workouts and the knee, back, and hip workouts.
But I've decided to incorporate some weight training into my workout schedule as well. I own the book "The Art of Expressing the Human Body".
In it, is a bodybuilding workout allegedly done by Bruce Lee way back when. I know the science of weight training has advanced a lot since then, but I want to know if this might be an effective workout for toning up and losing fat, and maybe getting some definition. It's in the book as the "Bodybuilding" workout:
Squats, 3 x 10, 90-95 pounds
French Press, 4 x 6, 60 pounds
Incline Curl, 4 x 6, 35 pounds
Concentration Curl, 4 x 6, 35 pounds
Push ups, 3 x 10, (the book says to use 70 pounds, but I have a modified push-up I am considering)
Barbell Curls, 3 x 8, 70 pounds
Tricep Stretch, 3 x 8, 5 pounds
Reverse Barbell Curl, 4 x 6, 60 pounds
Wrist Curls, 4 sets to failure, weight unknown.
Reverse Wrist Curls, 4 sets to failure, 10 pounds
Calf Raises, 5 x 20
The one thing I don't see is abs. I'm not sure how I can incorporate an abs workout.
I'm also wondering how often I should do this workout. I was thinking of starting off with it a couple of times a week, but I want to make sure I also have days for my DDPY and other things I might want to do (family time, etc). I'll do it more if time permits.
Right now I weigh around 220 pounds, but if I lose the fat and gain muscle, getting myself down to 190 or 200 wouldn't be bad, as long as it's a healthy weight.
Does the workout above seem effective? Thoughts?
