By no means am I Hercules. I'm a mid-30s dad who is fatter than he should be but in relatively ok shape. I'm 6' and currently around 217lbs. In a perfect world, I'd be around 195 and a lot leaner than I am. The below is the routine that I've stuck with (ok... on and off) over the course of the last 6 months or so. I basically do weights M W F and something else T TH (might be burpees, bike, or swimming). Calories are issue #1, but focusing on the weight routine - is this a good idea? Am I doing too many different exercises? Too little? Wrong exercises? I work out at home using Bowflex Selecttech dumbbells (the ones that go up to 90 lbs or so) and a bench.
As to the sets question - am I better off doing 3x of set 1, then moving onto 3x of set 2, etc.
- or -
Am I better off doing 1x of set 1, 1x of set 2, 1x of set 3, etc. and then starting over at set 1? So still doing 3x sets of each total, but jumping from one exercise to the next.
