Exercise Regimen

I agree with the cardio comment. Cardio is for your heart not your muscles. If you can't make to the gym squats, sit ups and push ups are the way to go. Cardio sure won't hurt you but muscle is what you want.

working out your back/shoulders and wrists helps definitely

that plus the right technique should be fine

[bigbaldguy]

Burpees and push ups and walking lunges.

Dead lifts are possibly the best all around strength builder.
Maintain proper posture and lift away!

Speaking of deadlifts, part two of my five part session was this today:

30/20/10 reps back to back:

Deadlift @ 185
Push press @ 115

Yeah, some dudes laugh at that weight, but ask them to crank out all of those reps of both excersises in a continuous circuit until complete.

Ouch.

You push pressed 115x30? God damn doc... That is freaking tiring.

30 deadlifts at 185 is no joke either... Really exhausting.

Forget crossfit and save your money. Seriously, it's a big waste of time unless for some reason that's the only way you'll stay motivated. Crossfit is hated in the lifting world for a reason. Squats/deadlifts/push press are going to be the three lifts that turn you from weak to relatively strong.

Get a gym membership and a friend who knows what they're doing. Starting strength is a great way to start and it's easy to do. I'd remove the cleans unless you have a gym that you can drop weight and you're dedicated to mastering your form.

You're going to need to eat more but the good news is you can start at about 2k-2.5k calories a day (you aren't eating that daily right now) and bump it up with time. If you start eating 4k calories a day from the getgo you're going to gain weight too fast like I did.

Make sure to stretch especially after the gym and before bed. Make sure you focus on your hips and hamstrings. This will help you increase depth on squat. I don't care if you start off squatting and deadlifting the bar, but never ever round your back. End of story

Not really sure what you're trying to do with all those reps other than burn calories.
