Some crazy work deadlines have essentially kept me out of the gym and restricted to BW exercises at home for the last couple of weeks but here is my typical workout schedule in better times:

Day 1: Upper Body (weights)
Day 2: Conditioning + Core
Day 3: Legs + Core
Day 4: Upper Body (BW + statics) + Core
Day 5: Run
Day 6: Rest day (stretching + core)

or something like that

I basically have 2 upper body days, 1 with weights (3-5 reps) and 1 with things like weighted pullups, pushups, static holds, gymnastic progressions, etc., 1 leg day typically with squats, lunges, hammy curls, etc.

The conditioning day usually involves a circuit with burpees, grasshoppers, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, split jumps, etc. done at high speed with no rest for 10-15 minutes. I might also do intervals sometimes on this day.

The run day is usually a 5-6 mile run at moderate pace, say a 7:30 mile pace.

I do core work at least 3 times a week - usually a circuit with weighted hyperextensions, leg lifts, weighted crunches on a swiss ball, hanging leg lifts, etc. with more challenging stuff like ab wheel rollouts or dragon flags thrown in.

Nothing too dramatic here - I want to swim more but I don't have time in my schedule to fit it in.

Saturday - Run round with the kids playing basketball and soccer for 90 mins.

Monday - 8 x 3min rounds on the punchbag (100+ punches round) with 30 sec breaks between rounds. Followed by 30 mins interval training on the ski machine, 140+ heart rate.

Wednesday - same as Monday.

Thursday - 4 x 3min rounds on the punchbag as warmup. 4 sets of 12 x 50lb clean and jerk, but no putting down, 4 sets of 12 x 25lb dumbell bicep curls, 4 sets 12 x 50lb squats. Do that as quickly as possible, and then 20 mins cycling 140+ heart rate.

Friday - Same as Monday.

Sometimes do the weight thing instead of a Monday session.

Its enough to keep me honest.

same situation. I've been in the gym just about every day since a breakup. was working out regularly before, but now I'm really focusing on working out AND proper nutrition/diet as well.

Yeah but be prepared to see a slowdown of gains per unit work, due to decreases test. levels.

Same here. I'm recovering stupid quickly too. I do bench bench press (3x8), lat pull downs (3x8), face pulls (3x10), and shoulder press (3x10) almost every day. I recover over night and have been getting a lot stronger. I started keeping a workout log at the end of last month when I got back in to working out intensely. Over the last 14 days my bench has done this (after being stalled out at 120): 1: 3x8x120 3: 1x8x130 and 2x8x120 6: 2x8x130 and 1x8x120 7: 3x8x130 8: 3x8x135 10: 2x8x140 and 1x8x135 11: 3x8x140 12 3x8x145 13: 1x8x150 2x8x145 14: 2x8x150 1x8x145

Are you talking about age related t-level drops? If so, I'd say you can still rock an amazing physique well into your 50's if not 60's - it just requires a somewhat different approach to things and a meticulous diet.

And you'll have better vascularity because your skin is thinner

No, I meant due to a breakup and less sex
