Workout Routines Has Officially Moved!

After months of planning, the Workout Routines site finally has a new home.

Today is the official re-launch of the new Workout Routines. I'm excited about the future and all the things I have planned for the site.

One of those is more multi-media. Thanks to broadband, the Internet has become the new television and now that Workout Routines is on it's own server, more multi-media will be served up for you.

There has been some changes to the site so when you check us out please read the about us page where I talk about some of those changes.

I know you're going to love the new Workout Routines and the things we have planned in the future. Our goal is to make this the one place you can go to for muscle building information that works - without all the hype and bullshit.

I'm going to keep the Blogger version of Workout Routines up for awhile - just so people can find their way to the new one. Eventually, it will be phased out.

In the meantime, enjoy the new site and give me some feedback on what you like, dislike, and would like to see in the future.

Oh, and sign up for our Old-School Workout series course we created just for this re-launch. I know you'll like it and best of all - it's free!

Enough talk...Click on the link below to see the new Workout Routines. Thanks and don't forget...train hard and heavy.

Single Rep Body Blast Workout

Single rep lifting is a training style not seen much in this day and age.

The younger generation looks to crappy, hype-filled magazines and websites to find out what the pros are doing. Never mind the fact the routines in the magazines are written by a ghost writer, not the bodybuilder, and the pro, and I use the term loosely, is so full of drugs he's hardly the person you want to emulate.

In many circles, single rep training is looked upon with disdain. The idea of a workout composed entirely of single reps may go against everything you’ve been led to believe – heavy singles are dangerous, singles don’t build muscle, singles are old-fashioned.

That's a bunch of bullshit.

Most of the great old-time, drug-free lifters incorporated singles in their lifting at one time. Guys like John Grimek, Steve Reeves and Reg Park. Back then there were plenty of strong lifters who built loads of muscle training with singles.

Just give this routine a chance and see what it does for you.

Single Rep Body Blast Workout

Workout One
Squats 5 x 1
Deadlifts 4 x 1

Workout Two
Bench Press 5 x 1
Pulldowns or Weighted Chins 5 x 1
Overhead Press 4 x 1

Notes: DO NOT do singles training if you are beginner. This type of training is only for intermediate and advanced lifters. Get the basics first then move on to singles training. Workout 2-3 days per week depending on your recovery ability. The first two sets are warm-ups and the final three are your work sets. Each work single should be a battle to complete. Get enough rest between hard sets. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can't go wrong.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program - hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you're new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

My Review For Ultimate Body Press Dip Bar

As you know, I usually don't give reviews out on products and such, but I'm about to make an exception for the Ultimate Body Press Dip Bar.

Arthur Jones once called dips the upper body squat and for good reason.

The dip is a total upper body developer and can build slabs of muscle on you faster than Usain Bolt can run the 100 meters.

All kidding aside, dips have been the staple of many bodybuilding and strength training legends. They were a core exercise for many old-time weight trainers.

The Ultimate Body Press Dip Bar is awesome. It's portable, very inexpensive, and if you add on the push-up ring accessory, you can perform gymnast style ring push-ups from a free standing dip bar. How cool is that?

Does it work?

Well, name me one male gymnast who doesn't have a strong, muscular upper body? You can't.

My review doesn't do this apparatus justice. If you want to check it out for yourself, drop by the website and watch the videos demonstrating this very cool dip bar.

By the way, I am not making any money by endorsing this. I just think it's a very solid product at a very fair price.

Workout Routines Update

The process for moving this blog over to WordPress is about 80 percent done. There are new features, plug-ins, and graphics to get finished, but overall the new Workout Routines is almost finished.

We should be completely set up and ready to go live next Tuesday, June 16th.

The site looks great and I know you're gonna love some of the things we have planned in the upcoming months.

Stay tuned for more info.

Weekend Workout and Changes Coming

I wanted to let you all know that after almost two years of going back and forth, I've finally decided to move Workout Routines from the Blogger platform to WordPress.

I have said many times before I would, but always backed off. This time it's a go. I want to have Workout-Routines on my own hosting because I have some big plans for the site.

Blogger is awesome if your just starting out, but I want to do more. The plug-ins and design capabilities of WordPress make it too good to pass up.

I will be keeping this blog up to let new readers know we have moved. Some of my posts are ranked high in Google and I don't want to kill them. But all new posts will be on the new Workout Routines.

The new Workout Routines re-design is almost finished and I will announce more details on Tuesday. We have over 1,500 readers a week and I hope you will stay with us when we make the move.

In the meantime, here's a workout to try over the weekend.

Overhead Press 5 x 5
Bench Press 5 x 5
Pushdowns 5 x 8
Chins 5 x 8
Pulldowns 5 x 10
Curls 5 x 8
Squats 5 x 5

Notes: Try this three days a week. If too much, reduce to two days. Warm-up with light cardio for 5-10 minutes. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can't go wrong.
