My usual chest and arms workout:

Bench 3x8
fly 3x8
tricep pushdown 3x8
rear delt row 3x8
upright row 3x8
bend over and extend arm backwards and up keeping it stiff 3x8
dips 3x8
similar to bench but with arms at sides 3x8
reverse curl 3x8
bicep curl 3x8
wrist curl 3x8
reverse wrist curl 3x8

all in about an hour, it's tough for me to gain weight and I eat like a horse.

Uhhh, can you say overtraining?

Squats
Barbell Incline Bench
Bent Over Barbell Rows
Close Grip Underhand Chins
Hammer Curls

Good workout today, added 10 kg's to my squat and 5 to my bench.
 
Today was a light day, I just did abs.

3 sets of crunchs (weight behind head)
3 sets of weighted oblique crunches for each side (lay on my side and raise the torso)

For my 3 major workout days (not counting abs) I like to add a new exercise every couple weeks or so. I think I'm hooked on the endorphin release.
 
just jogging, but i think I may do some crunches and some bicep curls before bed, still don't have my workouts in any real rhyme or reason yet, just getting back into doing it a lot and trying to get regular, get my body used to the abuse again :D

I found that was the hardest part. When I started I'd be almost exhauseted after doing bench and I'd be dripping sweat. After a couple months of intense workouts I still have energy after a workout and I don't sweat nearly as much. Once you get the endurance level up it's much easier to push yourself.
 
50 minutes of squash! And around 15 minutes of running from the parking lot across the supermarket and back with really heavy groceries after =D
 
5km into a 15km run my right foot started giving me issues, could barley walk. Looks like my prescription orthotics are over correcting my foot fall on my right foot :( Off to the podiatrist on Tuesday. Marathon in ~2 weeks.. argh!
 
I've been power-walking for 45 min-1 hour most nights of the week, but Wednesday night I tried a bit of a jog. Found I could sustain it for about 2-3 minutes. So I incorporated 3 x of those jogs into my 50 minute walk. Interval training! :D I'm hoping to improve to the stage I can jog non-stop for 30-35 minutes, like I used to be able to.
 
Keeping this thread alive....

Did a GREAT Buns and thighs workout yesterday..it was one of those "tone up in ten minutes" things...I didnt think it would work but WOW...I could barely stand up to get out of bed today. I am SORE!
 
I haven't worked out in a week or so, exams are doing my head in. Once that passes it's business as usual. Lifting a couple beers doesn't count as a worout does it?
