Workout routine opinions
Discussion
Here is my current workout routine:
Monday: Squats then three other free weight exercises
Tuesday: Cardio; cross trainer, rower, calithetics, track (5 laps)
Wednesday: Deadlifts then three other freeweight exercises
Thursday: Bench press them three other free weights exercises
Friday: Cardio; cross trainer, rower, calithetics, track (5 laps) then two free weight exercises at the end
The free weight exercises are whatever I fancy on the day but normally things like shoulder press, dumbell bench, bent over row etc, the core ones if you will.
I normally change my routine every 4-6 weeks. Before this I used to workout in my mums living room with dumbells for three years until I got my flat in the last few months. I think working with my own weights slowed me down a bit because it was expensive when I had to buy more weights so I wasn't always able to push myself. Currently squats are my weakest exercise but I'm generally weak due to having long limbs and a small body, standing at 5'11.2. Due to this I find squats particularly awkward and unnatural to do.
When I trained at home I used to do a morning session and an afternoon session three times a week although now I go to the gym everyday. My goals are fitness and strength, filling out is satisfying but not my main aim.

^ yep
Have a goal first. It's pointless trying to decide on a routine if you don't know what you want to achieve. How much fuel should you put in your car if you don't know where you're driving to?
Must've said it a million times to people, but it's amazing how many people don;t have a goal and then wonder what sort of training they should be doing and why they are failing to get anywhere.
