oh, that sux about the elbow :/
felt something in my left elbow as well on monday after the chest workout.-. decline bb benchpress - don't know what happned :/
anyways, about how long you've worked out, i assumed something like five years or so, judging from the pics i saw of you some pages back.
after how you looked like there, i'd definately suggest you to keep playing basketball, as i don't like the thought of being way too big, but hey, that's my opinion. but to be honest, i also get that opinion from most girls i talk with too ;)
something between is nice, like most of those who attend to athletic fitness championships etc, not too big, and not too small, but very defined :)
15 min left before i head to workout.. will be dead by then if work still is as boring as it has been all day.. |

Yessss, I'm back in the groove.
After only a few trips to the gym for a 1/2 hour on the elliptical, I feel thinner and more energetic! Weights will come later...
That's the cure for the winter blues! A good sweat! And it's only hard to go back the first time, then it gets easier and easier! |

I work out aswell. Here's my program:
Day one:
-10 min. warmup.
-Standing Gluteus Machine, 3x10
-Leg Curls, 3x10
-Calf Press in Leg Press Machine, 3x10
-Benchpress, 3x10
-Incline Flyes, 3x10
-Incline Frenchpress, 3x10
-Crunches, (5x5)x3, I'll try to explain: Firstly 5 straight forward crunches, then 5 with my right leg stretched out above the ground and my left leg in a 90 degrees angle with my torso (bent of course as I'm not very flexible), then 5 the other way around, 5 where I keep both legs straight up in a 90 degrees angle with my torso, then finally 5 where I keep my legs straight up as in the previous 5 reps, but with some air between them (looks kinda weird).
-10 min. running, 10 min. cycling and 10 min. rowing.
Day two:
-10 min. warmup
-Squats, 3x10
-Leg extensions, 3x10
-Close grip pulldowns, 3x10
-Pulley machine with wide grip, 3x10
-Sitting dumbell curls (on an incline bench), 3x10
-Lateral raises, 3x10
-Oblique raises on a Lower Back Bench, 3x10. On this one i turn my torso on the top of the motion in order to get some work on my abs aswell.
-25 min. running (10 min. warmup, 10 min interval with half a minute running and half a minute resting, and 5 min cooldown.
I've just turned 18 and I've been working out for a little over a year. My weight is 78 kg and I'm about 185 cm. tall. |

today's not so extremely good workout :p lol
my elbow started bothering me after the first exercise, it's not like it's hurting or something, but it feels like something in it stops me from actually doing my best, like a vein or something is holding back heh, and when i stretch my arm out as much as possible and hold my right thumb on the inside of the elbow it feels like i can feel the blood in the veins.. strange, but i kept going on though
shoulderpress machine:
1x12 - 140
1x10 - 160
1x6 - 180
smith-machine overhead shoulder press:
1x12 - 120
1x12 - 140
1x12 - 160
one-arm side laterals raises:
2x12 - 20
1x10 - 24
front plate raise:
2x12 - 30
1x10 - 40
dropped the neck/traps today since i'm still 'sore' after the workout on friday (friggin BB shrugs where you can keep putting on weight forever..still feels like it was yesterday)
abs:
flat bench lying leg raise:
3x15 - mid
3x12 - left and right side
seated flat bench leg pull-in:
2x25 - mid only

why do you want to do cardio? |
running 30seconds for a bus then sitting on the bus panting like a rapist for 10 minutes isnt a nice feeling.
also, when i do 5 fives of cardio i feel like puking after it i am that unfit.
if i up my cardio and get reasonable fit will it not be better for weight training? |

how do you manage to begin with the heaviest weights and then drop hehe:p
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 :p), how long have you been working out? ygrene, orbax, floorfiller,diego etc |
well if you're able to do a heavier weight and maintain reps after the 1st set, it means you're not pushing yourself hard enough on the 1st. each set i do is all out, total focus on pumping the muscle, nothing less.
i've been working out for 4 years kinda, sorta would do maybe 3-4 months then forget about it for a while. but only in the last 5-6 months have i been training properly with near total dedication |

might improve your endurance maybe, but it wouldn't make enough difference to warrant it |
