All AM Cardio is on my treadmill for the next month it's not warm enough for me to get out in the AM yet. All PM Cardio is jogging outdoors.

I generally do 3 exercises 3 sets for each muscle group keeping it simple.

A great website I visit quite frequently is John Stone Fitness they have a fantastic forum. John Stone Fitness - Welcome!

White_07_G6_GT- That's a lot of weight to drop! Hope it was primarily fat

Heh heh, twice-a-day cardio...if you do yours as intensely as I do mine, that's something I guess my PM dog-outings don't *really* count as cardio, but I am walking/hiking for a good long time most days.

Good move, doing the AM stuff pre-breakfast That's what I always do and it works great for me. I do mine on the StairMaster (without touching the side rails )- interval training for me too, but I do it for 26 to 29 minutes these days. I do mine every third day, unless my legs are still too sore from leg-day.

Alright, what are people's favorite exercises for back (lats, primarily)? I typically do 3 sets of wide grip pull ups, 3 sets of reverse grip chinups, and 3 sets of cable rows. What else could I throw in there? I mainly want to make them wider as opposed to thicker, but I would still like to add one thickening exercise.

I do palms-down wide-grip pullups/chins with weight around my waist (drop weight as necessary until I'm down to bodyweight only for the last set) and bent over close-grip barbell rows. I'll add some straight-arm push downs and unilateral db or cable rows now and then for variety. Sometimes I'll alter the pullup/chin style a bit too, again, just for variety.
