Sam|Hooded Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Share your workouts, I know I'd like to hear some of you guys workout regimes. You can also put your max lifts and your working weights to give people a rough idea of what %'s are good to work at etc. MAXIMUM'S (I've not actually done my max lifts before, but I will on monday after a rest on sunday): Push ups - I reach failure at 87 - at RAF Regiment Selection I did 60 in 60 seconds ________________________________________________ Although I consider myself in pretty good physical condition, I know I'm not insanely strong either, but I'm not trying to be a power lifter, I just aim to keep as fit as possible for military standards. This is my weekly workout, made by moi.

Steroids Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 pretty pointless for most doing core as 50% of the major exercises do it just fine.
