Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

this is my teritory!!!

on sundays, tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays i have athletics practice - i run short distance runs like 100m etc
each practice of mine lasts something like 2:30 hours and sometimes even more
today i left my house at 4pm and came back at 9:15pm... i practiced more than 3 hours (we drove to the stadium and back and it took us time)

at the other days i have gym (weight lifting)
i do it on mondays and fridays. each practice in the gym lasts something like a hout and a half
practice A - Chest, shoulders and triceps
practice B - Back, Biceps and sometimes legs (i do legs like squates and stuff in my athletics practices so i don't always do it in thegym)

that's about it... saturday is my day off unless i miss a practice in thwe gym or something or sometimes i go and play with my friends soccer or basketball

oh and did i mentioned i am at the age of 17 (almost)

I just got back into Lifting again after Basketball ended (didn't want to mess up my jump shot, hehe.)

Usually working out 4-5 times a week, 2 hours average.

Racketball for 30 minutes, run a 7 minute mile to get warm.

Bench every other day, Lats, Biceps, Triceps, Abs, Shrugs, Forearms, Rowing Machine, Military Press, and some Curls.

It depends if I feel sore or tired that day how much time I put in.

Some advice:

Well, the first thing you are doing wrong is exersing the same muscle groups everyday. By weighting lifting, or working your muscles to exhaustion in actuallity what you are doing is ripping you muscles. When you rest your body converts protein into muscle tissue which heals the ripped tissue and builds on top of it. But what you are doing is ripping your muscle tissue more and more everyday. So instead of what you are doing you should break each day into different muscle groups work out, and have at least 2-3 days of rest between repeating your routine. Less is sometimes more . Also watch the speed of your sets, and the number of reps you do, different numbers for different results.

Hope that helps


Anyways, i work out too, 3-4 days a week 1.5 - 2 hours. I used to work out for strength, was fairly thin about 140LB. Now i went on a differnet routine gained about 17Lb more in 3 months, not planning on stopping there

you should only beable to do 8-12 reps, not 30minutes

I body-build, great site bodybuilding.com.
Monday-chest
Wednesday-shoulders
Friday-arms
Saturday-legs
abs every few days

i wont go into all the excercises but they hit ever muscle, and each part.
The key isnt time, its quality.. if you can crank out 100 reps it wont help you. I also keep a journal on the weight and everyhting i use.. helps a lot.
On tuesdays and thursdays i also wrestle which is very good excercise, it hits all the muscles and tires you out.

be Italian.

our culture is so fucked up. everything revolves around food and when you're young your parents and grandparents shove it down your throat . all those carbo's... ick. i haven't eaten pasta in years.

i work out 2-3 times a week (or at least try to, sometimes too busy).... full body (3 ab routines, 3 upper body routines, 3leg routines) with a few miles of jogging to warm up followed by fullcourt basketball at the end. I then take a steam and whirlpool after cooling down. if you don't already take one of the two i highly recommend it, cuts your recovery time in half especially if you have wonky joints, that's how i'm able to do full workouts without being a 'capper during down times.I work out at the Columbus Centre, some of you Toronto posters might know it. it's wop central, or at least used to be.

About 60% of your progress is DIET. Make sure to get lots of PROTEIN in your diet, your body requires about 60g of protein DAILY. Carbs are essential too. Ameno acids, and the likes will help your muscle growth.

BTW, does anyone here use some sort of supplements? If so, what kind, and how long have you been taking it? Myself i know that about 97% of them cause long term liver damage.

creatine...i havent seen any long term studies of creatine...and i've used it quite a lot without side effects...except that u lose some of the mass after u get off of it

That seems to be the case with every supplement, naturally gained muscle mass takes MUCH longer to dimish, i've found that to be the case with all of my friends.

sumtimes i feel like i should do steroids, (never dun them) i mean just try them, i personally know ppl. who say its just awesum if dun rite, the pump and the gains are amazing, but u should know how to do it rite tho, like cycling it thru, in phases and stuff, not just like sum pills u take

What's a good exercise for chest definition?

Pecs for the chest. Different kinds of exercises though to get a thorough build.

I'd do bench, military press, rowing, and chest compress.

Don't do all in a row though, you might be a little sore.

asd

i have 4 soccer sessions every week � 1 hour and 30 min.
i also have 2 hours with p.e. at school every week
and sometimes i also got soccer matches, so those weeks i got that, its 4 training sessions + game

in some months i'll probably start to work out on a fitness studio too
hmm much training :-)

greetZ!

What's the deal with sit-ups?

Cos I remember someone in the Army was telling me about how 90% of people who try to get a six pack do the standard situp which makes very little difference because it excercises the wrong muscle group. What do you need to do for a six pack? Lately I've been doing the situps where you only go half way. They absolutely kill! Do they excercise the right muscles?

Thanks for any advice.

Man this has become somewhat of a bragging forum. Can we keep it constructive please?

I'm hoping to learn a thing or two here

Sit-ups work part of the abs, but not all of it.

Even though I don't have one, my bro does, and he told me how to get one.

First, either do a lot of running or bicycling. You need to clean your gut of excess fat, so that the muscles can show through it.

Don't do just sit-ups, do crunches, do medicine ball holds (sit inverted on a sloped ramp, say 45 degrees, and just hold that position and throw a medicine ball back and forth with someone standing), do leg-ups (lay flat, lift your shoulders off the ground, followed by holding your legs up 18 inches off the ground. Hold for 15 seconds per rep, or more if your a baller).

If you can drop off your fat, and keep up a good regiment in these areas, I'd give you a month before your abs are poking out. Maybe sooner if your already skinny.

hehehe, didnt notice that the first time I read it

the LOVE MUSCLE hahahaha

What system are we working in if we are doing strength training
ie ATP-PC or Anaerobic glycolysis?

How often you people incorporate progressive overload?

lol i do!

when doing tricep extensions keep the movement in the forearms (keep your upper arms stiff next to your head) , and only come down half way (90 degrees) and go all the way up but stop just before your arms lock out, when they lock out the pressure goes to your joint and away from your tricep

do it this way and you wont bump your head

On mondays i do this for my chest
Bench press
Incline Flyes
Dips
Push-ups
Regular Flyes

i do the push-ups on something to work the lower chest. You cant really "define" muscles unless you build it and then cut up all the fat around it

You mean 45 degrees bro. 90 would be from rest at head to evenly flat.

yeah, what i meant was at a right angle, just confused myself between 90 and 45
