IndigoGTI is on a distinguished road
Well after reading this thread on Monday, I was inspired to start working out again. My wife and I are now planning on going to the gym three nights a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday (if we have plans Friday, then Saturday morning). Starting out Monday I did 15 minutes of cardio on the bike, then 3 sets at 105 lbs on the inclined bench press, 3 sets of rowing with 75 lbs, 3 sets of butterflies at 90 lbs and 3 sets of seated leg presses at 150 lbs. All of my sets are 8 reps except for the leg press, which was 12. I kept increasing weight on the leg press, and still wasn't feeling any burn; I need to try more weight next time (tonight). Tonight, I am focusing on legs and abs, maybe biceps.

Right now I am 6'4" and 220, I would like to get down around 200 and get rid of my stomach, and tone up. I have radically changed my diet in the last month, and by just eating better, small portions more times a day, I have lost seven pounds.

Accumulator, feel free to give me any input as to how I could improve my workout routine. My wife is my workout/diet partner, so it can't be too radical.

Keep up the good work guys!
