Don't have any barbell's at the gym in my apartment complex at school so I haven't done squats since winter break. Decided I can't keep putting them off just because I don't have a BB, so I just held 40lb DB's on my shoulders and did them that way. It's the second day after doing them and my legs are still shredded! I guess that's what happens when you neglect a muscle for so long.

Only thing that sucks is it's ruining my cardio routine.

update:

i did back, shoulders, biceps, triceps today.
total time at gym: 2h 40min, i have no energy left.

question for the experts, whats the difference between iso protiens, and the whey protiens?

and how are your diets going? i had harveys on the weekend (2 angus burgers) and i felt like shit afterwards. other than that my diet is top notch.

not an expert on the subject, but i believe the difference to be isolates are supposed to be higher in protein content and have less fat and carbs with them or something...

hey floorfiller- there was 1 guy in my pilates class today... 24 girls and 1 guy! u should try going to a class, it's probably a great way to meet girls

thanks for the info. i ask cause i was talking to this guy at the gym (with a bad accent) and he left me more confused about the subject than i arleady was . he was telling me something about the isolates aid in building the muscle, and the whey protiens help the muscle become toned.

You know how I was doing that 1 day on 1 day off routine? That might have been too much. I havent worked out in about 1.5 week now. When I stopped I had lost 5 lbs and was at 165 lbs. I just weighed myself and im 172. The heaviest ive ever been hehe. My chest, back, arms, and legs are noticeably larger and I feel awesome and re-energized. Just thought it might be interesting for people who are trying to gain that yeah...you have to stop sometimes and let your body take a good solid week and regen.

starting again tomorrow with legs

you sure that just isn't that 100 pints of beer you drank haha

Hah, today something fun happened at the gym.
I already posted that my height is around 5'9'' and my weight is about 133 lbs.
Also, I posted that I did 6 reps with 455 lbs on leg press at my last training.
Well, today I found out that some guys were betting about it.
One guy saw me doing the leg press with 455 lbs and told that to other guy later, who didn't see it.
The other guy didn't belive and after a short arguement, they placed bets. :P Pizza and cola.
The guy who saw me said if he wins the bet, which he will, I'll get the cola.
I won't refuse.

i wouldn't get too much into the whole different types of food or proteins or such. some people read way too much into training and try and over-analyse it and miss out on the main stuff:
train with intensity, eat huge (lots of protein in particular), eat quality, proper focus on the goal, and above all have fun.


btw what he said seems like rubbish

i'm having an operation this wednesday, so i can't eat for a couple of days and can't train for a week, so i should have lotsa time to get a pic taken.
i'll check what my bodyfat came in at tomorrow (it's on my progress card in the gym

I ran a bit too I wasnt *completely* unhealthy hehe

found this...liked it hehe

funny you should post that pic orbax...because i was just coming on here to bitch about back hahaha


today's workout...

Incline Bench (BB):
75 x 12 , 75 x 12 , 75 x 12 , 85 x 10

Incline Cable Cross-Overs (Single-arm):
5 x 12 , 5 x 12 , 5 x 12 , 10 x 11

Dumb Bell Row:
20 x 12 , 30 x 12 , 30 x 12

Lat Pulldown:
60 x 12 , 70 x 12 , 70 x 12

Dumb Bell Row (Right Arm Only):
30 x 12 , 30 x 11 , 30 x 11 , 30 x 10


alright well shit. basically everything started out good until i got to back shit. i just felt like the right lat wasn't pulling his weight so i decided to fuck the rest of my work out and focus on that a little. i was gonna do shoulder shit too, but i'm not too worried about them...back is what's pissing me off.

so i was thinking to self...self...you got like a 40" chest measurement, but how much of that is actually back? NOT MUCH ******!! so i think my new enemy is gonna be back for a while. i feel like i can definitely put on some back size if i start hitting it more because i've never really had a great back...pisses me off.

another thing that is pissing me off is the imbalances between left and right. some things i feel like shit...right tricep ain't working as hard...or right lat tonight...what the fuck? anyway...i think i might throw in an extra day where i rotate the different problem areas so i can fix this shit cause it pisses me off.

when it comes to imbalances this is my recomendation


start off your excercise with the weaker side... max it out.. and do up to that amount with the stronger side


its tough to play the work this out for a bit game and neglect the other side..

as long as your measurements are the same per side.. just follow this golden rule


btw your destroying me in the barbel incline press.. i should have shut up about you doing light weights lol!


anyways


my workout for today.. just did abs and lower back

probably about

300 situps in total i would say

i did a circuit routine with all the situp machines in my gym lol

and lower back i just used the bend forward and back up technique.. on the special seat used for lower back

also did obliques as well

its comming ot the end of the month again.. we should compare to see what are mesurements are now compared to february

the backs looking more ripped btw orbax.. keep up the good work!

arent you supposed to train for only 45min to an hour? anything after that is bad for the muscles and leads to a decrease in muscle growth or something like that.

i dunno about that. doing excessive cardio will do that, but i've never heard of it being a problem with lifting weights.

sometimes training partners and general gym friendlies can eat up a lot of time between sets hehe

yea, i was told that for every four weeks you train you should take one week off for rest.

anyway chest work on monday was:


Dumbbell press:
10(22lbs) x 8, 12(26lbs) x 8, 12 x 8

8 x 8, 8 x 8, 8 x 8

dumbell shrug:
10 x 8, 10 x 8, 10 x 8

dips:

pleased enough, need to do more back work though. i was going to try some pull ups but there were too many in the gym and i was too worried that i would only make it half way up they and not be able to do one!

meh, should just suck it up and ignore the pride thing.

leg work today, first ever full leg day, i know i wont be able to walk tomorrow. i am struggling with the stairs as it is.

bend over hamstring thingys:
6 x 10, 6 x 10, 6 x 10.


at it again tomorrow, or else take a break tmorrow and go thursday if i can.

what are ballet squats?

same as dumbbell squats but you stand with your feet past should length, and have your toes pointed out at a 20 or 30 degree angle.

ouch! sounds like it would work inside well though hehe

For me, training for almost 3 hours sounds ridiculous.. if your workouts take that much time you are obviously not training very intensely. And if you are really busting your ass for that long every time you work out it won't take long before you're overtrained. And besides, what's the point in training for so long when you can get great results with much shorter work-outs?...

i agree...i mean you'd run out of energy or something. i've just never heard of working out with weights destroying muscle that's all...
