I recently hit a superset with the X3 bar.

And it got me thinking.

What's your work out routine?

Not much really. Some dumbbell workouts 2 or 3 times a week with a few body exercises and a long walk occasionally. I used to walk every other day but I’m just too busy these days building up my farm. That’s the main part of my exercise these days, just working on the farm all day. This cold weather has given me a little bit of a break lately.

With that the trick would be to maintain the tension and not lock out on the joints.

Like most machines, it is all about the effort the person puts forth. A treadmill is an awesome piece of equipment right up to the point it becomes a better place to hang some clothes. LOL

I have never used an X3 but I do use the bands to warm up some, and then onto the machines and the dumbbells.

As of late I am into squatting with dumbbells and going into a shoulder press as I stand up. I do 10-12. (similar to a kettle ball routine) Then I grab two forty-five pound plates and do a farmer's walk around the gym. I drop them and do 25-30 knees raises hanging from a bar. I try to do these four or five times per trip to the gym, usually between moving from exercise to the other while lifting.

I try to hit arms one day, legs the next and chest after that and shoulders/back if I make the fourth day that week.

I was walking 3.5 miles just about every day but the weather and the new grandkid has eaten up some of my walking time.

That's a neat looking device.

I set tile all day, lol.

Right now I have a treadmill in the next room. I would prefer to hike the trails but it's the middle of winter currently.

I want to get some weights, a bench, etc. as well.
