    2 plates?!?! Thats nothing. If your idea is to just stay good looking and you don't care about going up in strength okay then.

    If you're worried about fashionable pants well...heh. Alrighty then thats your choice.

      Hugh legs look bad but so do small legs, IMO I think for aesthetics they need to be as small as possible whilst still being proportional to the upper body.

        I've tried free weights a few times, but they're very boring.

        I like martial arts so I need functional strength. For this I've just been going crazy with kettlebells for an hour 3 times a week. They aren't great for building muscle, I find, but they are an excellent workout and supposed to be very good for losing fat. I'm fortunate enough to be very slim, though.

          They are an excellent way to build core strength and stability.

            I start my day by making my bed, a cup of coffee with a pinch of chocolate.

            Then I go to the gym and my daily bank job that completely sucks.

            Finally sleeping well and getting my mindset done for the next day :P

              This workout got me incredibly lean and muscular, to the point that people would comment to me about by "amazing body" etc.

              It consists of swimming six days a week, and weights every other day (ex. Mon, Wed, Fri)

              Swimming workout:

              Warm-up:
              5 50's on 1:00
              5 50's on :50
              5 50's on :45
              5 50's on :40

              Kick 1000 yards with/without board. Sometimes 50's or 100's on intervals, sometimes just kick the 1000

              pull 1000 yards w/pullbouy. Just do the 1000 straight.

              Main set, usually about 2000 yards. Change this up each time. Examples include:
              Sprint sets of 100's freestyle
              "Ladder set", increasing in distance: (ex, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 50, all on different times and of different strokes)
              2 1000's
              Breathing set, swim long distance breathing every 3, 5, 7, and 9 strokes alternately.
              Any combination of 100's, 200's, 300's, 400's and 500's on timed intervals.

              Sprints off the blocks usually 4-10.

              200 Cooldown

              Weights Workout (3x weekly) mix it up but these are some exercises I used. Use only some of these each time.

              2x10 overhead squat.
              3x10 Hanging leg raise
              40 pull-ups.
              80 push-ups
              5x5 Bench press
              8x10 Squat increasing weight to max.
              5 minutes of abdominal workout.
              3x10 JAX (1 JAX = 5 push-ups using hand weights, then 1 dead lift using the same weights. Do as fast as possible)
              3x10 cuban press.
              5x5 bicep curls
              10x2 Hang cleans, build to max.
              3x10 lat pull downs
              3x10 push press
              3x10 overhead press
              3x10 bent row
              3x10 dead lift
              3x10 weighted jump
              You wrote so well, I will try to follow!
              Thank!

                I always run on the treadmill 1 hour per day. 6 days per week. After that, I back home and cook a meal for my wife and my daughter. I eat the low fat food was cooked on the pellet grill to retain nutrients good for my health.

                    Mine is simple which is suitable for my body type.
                    I do yoga and some weight lifting exercises.
                    In the morning,
                    Doing exercise for a particular body part.
                    Monday: chest
                    Tuesday: back
                    Wednesday: shoulders
                    Thursday: arms

                    Also,
                    diet is really important so cook yourself a piece of good steak in the oven

                          I think workout routine is much important for achieving fitness goals. I also follow routine of my diet with workout routine, both of them are strongly related in loosing weight and gaining physical fitness.
