I'm just getting back into working out after 1.5 years and I thought I would post my upper body days for critiquing. My goal is to lose weight and gain as much muscle as possible.
Current:
Age: 23
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 194 lbs.
Arms: 17.5"
Waist at smallest: 36.75"
Waist at largest: 40.75"
Chest: 44.5"
Forearms: 12.5"
Bench: 220 lbs.
Clean & Jerk: 155
curls: 35 x 7
Day 1:
Bench - max x 3 x 8 - 12 (reps)
Curls - max x 3 x 8 - 12
Clean & Jerk - max x 3 x 6 - 10
Reverse curls - max x 3 x 10 - 14
Skull Crushers - max x 3 x 8 - 12
Crunch Machine - max x 3 x 10 - 14
Day 2:
Clean & Jerk - max x 3 x 6 - 10
Wide Pull Downs - max x 3 x 8 - 12
Crunch Machine - max x 3 x 10 - 14
Dumbbell Bench - max x 3 x 8 - 12
Fly Machine - max x 3 x 8 - 12
Cable Curls - max x 3 x 10 - 14
Every time I make the max reps listed I jump up weight and started back at the lowest reps. Also, I take about 3 - 5 min rest on each exercise except abs and bis (wanted to know what anyone thought about rest time). I also do lower body 2x a week with lower weight because I'm more concerned with running which I do about 12 miles a week.
Diet is 2k cal. daily at 30%f, 35%c, and 35%p
Best lifts at 170 lbs:
Bench: 305
Squat: 420
Dead lift: 450
