All my gains have been from focusing on a slow negative, a flex on the contraction, and a solid push for contraction. Proper form necessitates a lower weight. and getting the strong fibers tired and then dropping down and making all the weak ones lift means 80% of your muscle will grow instead of the already strong 20%

time to give it a go

Wow, I did two weeks of hardcore working out and dieting......... and then I went on spring break....

Originally posted by Floorfiller right now yeah. since i finally started working arms again they shot up. but i still got a good deal of body fat so its not that great.

well i got the biceps up to 15 today (slightly less on the right)

measured up today at:
weight: 200.7lbs
chest: 43.5"
biceps: 15"
waist: 33" (i think)
quads: 23"
calves: 15"

chest is what i really need to get focussed on now, it's my one lagging part, though really hit it awesome today, so should improve fast

diego...you really need to get some pics up fool hehehe. you've gained a lot of weight and i'm just trying to compare what you say your stats are to my friend when he was that weight...its interesting...


so get the pics up damn it...


ps. care to guess about what your body fat is?

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
