My Training

I am currently doing a full body workout 3 times a week. I am making good progression. This again shows that you don't need to be a slave to gym 7 times a week to get results. Just go to the gym 2-3 times a week, give 100%, train right, progress, then go home.

Ok, so I am going to try updating my workouts a bit more now, as I am picking up the lifting. The back feels good after my injury, and deadlifts does no harm =).Each day is usually dedicated to one, or two main exercises. This is where most of my effort is put in, and I ALWAYS try to improve from week to week.
My training is now:
Day 1: Whole body workout, with focus on "squat-movements"
Day2: Whole body workout, with focus on weighted pull-ups and push presses
Day 3: Whole body workout, focus on deadlifts and core.
Extra day: Trying to put in a Crossfit circuit
Mornings: 3 times a week, 20-30min runs to pick up my stamina, only because I have agreed to do a "triathlon" with some guys at my work. As my swimming and running skills really sucks, I need to do some of it, even though it's sooo boring:)
