Gym routines

Here are my actual gym routines for each body part.  I follow the old Dorian Yates training schedule of 2 on 1 off training roughly every 6 days.  Sometimes I do take the 7th day off too depending on how my body feels and how easily I can detach myself from what I am doing on that seventh day.  I also do a hybrid of Dorian’s HIT and of course Hany Rambod’s FST-7 program.  Also I stretch for roughly 10 minutes before I hit the weights and also do about a 5 minute warm-up on a treadmill or bicycle.  Do not have to go balls to the wall with the equipment for those 5 minutes.  You are just trying to get blood flow going in the body.  

Every so often I will post this routine back up, but I will never post it with weights since I am not a weightlifter.  I am a bodybuilder who uses the weights to build my body.
