I usually do 40 minutes on the cross country ski machine at my gym before and after I go to work every day (burning a total of around 1200 calories according to the machine)


Think I am overdoing it?

well...i'd say if you can do that kind of running...you'll probably burn the most fat doing that. i've never really done cycling, but i know you can get results running like that hehe...

how do you manage to begin with the heaviest weights and then drop hehe


always do like this; 160x12 - 170x12 - 180x10, when using the shoulder press machine.. as i need something easier to start with, and after a series or two (depends on how many i want to do) i can start putting some weight on we'll see today if i can put on some more,shoulderday today.. can't wait for tomorrow, legday


will post today's workoutroutine when home tonight



btw, got curious when reading through some of the pages again (yes, i know, i got nothing to do at work ), how long have you been working out? ygrene, orbax, floorfiller,diego etc

Here is my crap workout from last night:

Flat Bench
1x225xhad to stop at 5 reps because it hurt my elbow too bad

so we skipped to incline dumbells to see if that would be better

Incline DB's
1x85xmy elbow says 'no dice sonny' and stopped at 6

So instead I did some crappy maintenance workout that looked like this:

Flat Bench Machine Press:
1x175x12
1x205x12
1x205x12
1x205x12 dropset to 115x5

Decline Dumbell Flyes:
4x35x12

and then finished with 20 minutes on the bike



Hopefully my elbow will be in check for back on Thursday, if not i'm cutting it off

I guess I've been working out for about 10 years now. You'd figure I'd look like Ahnold or something by now! I've always wondered, if I gave up basketball completely, if I'd be able to get really big and bodybuilder-ish. Hmmm.......
