    5'11" and 215lbs.

    My weekly workout usually goes like this:

    Monday - Legs
    Leg press, quad curls, hamstring curls, hip abductors and adductor machines, and calf extensions (think that's the right term).

    Tuesday - Shoulders, chest and upper back
    Shoulder rotations, lateral and frontal dumbell raises, close-grip pulldowns, dips (machine), seated press (machine), seated cable rows, and front and back flys on a combo machine... dunno the name.

    Thursday - mid section
    cable twists, back extenions (machine) and some time on the abdominator.

    Fridays - Arms
    Bicep curls, upright rows, overhead press, cable tricep press-downs, forearm curls, and maybe some seated dumbell bicep curls.


    My legs are rather beefy so I'm not trying to build muscle, just tone things up and improve support muscles to help with running, biking etc. Similarly for core, so I do higher reps with less weight.

    Upper body strength is rather poor, can't do a pull-up or dips at the moment so I usually do 3x8 reps increasing weights when I'm feeling good. There's some overlap between the muscles on Tuesdays and Fridays but they get a few days rest in between.

    Overall I'm trying to loose weight, down to about 13st like I used to be, and increase strength. After each weight session I do about half an hour of cardio, mixed between running, biking, rowing and eliptical trainer.
