MY Weight Lifting Routine

I have finally been able to put my weight lifting routine down on paper. Or more accurately stated, uploaded to my website. I have been weight lifting for over 13 years successfully and over 25 in total. You can find my story here or at right.

Anyway it took a while before I found the type of lifting routine that would work for me. Plus "little things" (sarcasm folks!) like consistency, discipline, proper eating and resting habits.

And to stop consuming alcohol and the "foods" that usually accompanies it.

So, again, I have lifted successfully for 13 years.

The first couple years I did lift according to me Phase 1 plan. For the next 5-6 I followed my Phase 2 plan, and now for the last 4-5 the Phase 3 weight lifting routine.

Obviously, along the way, I detour off for a couple weeks with different things, because as we all know it is about keeping the muscles guessing. And working.

I bring this up because people ask me, while they see me training, how did I get to this point. In other words, "did I always train this way?". And the answer is no.

It is a process, or at least was for me, to understand how to successfully add muscle mass. For example, I ran. A lot. Thinking it was part of an overall fitness plan. Well it may have been, but my goal was to add mass. So I learned that for me to do this, I had to find other ways to get heart healthy. Things that were not counterproductive to my mass goals. That takes a while to learn about yourself.

So are you at a point in your fitness life that you can benefit from my weight lifting plan? Well, I have 3, one will fit.

But only YOU can make it WORK.
