My New Rotation

[RobinC]

Hey There, Educated Crowd!
I've been wanting to increase my weight work and decrease my cardio, so I came up with this 9 day rotation, which I just started. What to you think?

Day 1: Power Circuit + CTX Chest
Day 2: 10/10/10 + CTX Bi's
Day 3: Leaner Legs + CTX Shoulders
Day 4: S&H Chest and Back
Day 5: S&H Bi's and Tri's
Day 6: S&H Legs and Shoulders
Day 7: Step and Intervals + CTX Back
Day 8: Kickbox + CTX Tri's
Day 9: All Step + PS legs (floorwork only)

Looks a little heavy, but actually I consider S&H Bi's and Tri's a rest day (with S&H Chest and Back a close second) - they are almost relaxing to me!
So, short cardios (just enough to make me feel I'm getting in some cardio) and weight work that hits all body parts 3 times per cycle and works oppositional muscles - imput anyone?

Thanks!

Robin

Oh, my goodness, Robin!! I'm pretty sure that rotation would kill me!!!!! Are you certain that you don't need to stick a rest day in there? I'm doing a S&H rotation right now, and I'm telling you, it makes me have to take a nap every day (Not to mention that I'm hungry all the time). It's a tough series. But, I guess if you consider S&H rest days, then I'm just a big wuss!!! LOL.

Good luck. Report back your progress!

No, Robin, you're not a wuss!!! I just have a very sedentary life style (I work on a computer at home daytimes and do theater at night)) and need to MOVE everyday! And I've been doing weight work since the first Firms back in the 80's, so my body is used to it. Speaking of being "used to it" , I would have to say that the S&H series has been THE most effective weight work I've ever done! I can see and feel changes that no weight series has ever done for me ...wish I could just continue it indefinately...but, gotta keep shakn' things up, as we know!
Thanks for your reply, Robin...and you are probably right...I think day 10 will be a yoga day! I'm enjoying the roation (just started this week) so far, so good!

You're right about the S&H series. I'm seeing some muscle growth, really for the first time. I'm an ecto/endo and I have had some muscle growth before, but it was minimal. And I worked hard!! With the S&H series, my little muscles are starting to 'pop'. I'm starting week 5 and plan to continue till 1) get bored (which I tend to do) 2) reach week 12 or 3) stop seeing changes. I love it!!! I've also gained 5 lbs which is scary, but it's not showing up in my clothes, so I'm just gonna keep going.
