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 :p |

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. :D
The guy who saw me said if he wins the bet, which he will, I'll get the cola. :)
I won't refuse. :p |

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:crazy: . he was telling me something about the isolates aid in building the muscle, and the whey protiens help the muscle become toned. |
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 |

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

funny you should post that pic orbax...because i was just coming on here to bitch about back hahaha :p
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 . basically everything started out good until i got to back . i just felt like the right lat wasn't pulling his weight so i decided to the rest of my work out and focus on that a little. i was gonna do shoulder 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 ...right tricep ain't working as hard...or right lat tonight...what the ? anyway...i think i might throw in an extra day where i rotate the different problem areas so i can fix this 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! |

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