Yesterday's chest workout was awesome!
Flat Bench:
12 x 135
12 x 135
5 x 135
5 x 225
5 x 275
5 x 275
5 x 295
The first four sets are completely warm-ups and I don't consider those working sets; Five & six, I could squeeze out a few more reps on each but limit to five. Seven is an all-out war!! But at no time do I sacrifice form, those are 5 clean reps. I'm going to shoot for 5 x 315 for sometime next year, I dunno if I can get there by Dec. 18th.
But I am still shooting for December 18th for total massive-rippedness.
And I;m either getting a digi-cam for Christmas or i will buy one myself, so I'll be able to share high-quality pics then.
I think I might start tanning to to go for the full effect....I dunno though, I kinda feel wussburger-ish when I tan but, it looks nice. |

yeah that looks like a good chest day for sure.. i hopeyour starting to lean up and get your physique back mang..
I was doing something similar last time i was in there for upper body but i was trying to increase my max bench
it went like this
push ups 30
8 x 135 warmup (wait 3 minutes)
2 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)<--- by this point i needed help getting it up
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
1 x 185 (wait 2 minutes)
then i waited a good 15 minutes and finished the rest of my upper body (probably not the best of ideas)
this method is supposed to increase your ability to max bench
i cant remember what this type of training is called.. but you need a spot for it and its fairl strenuous |

Hi. I'm not getting to the gym anywhere as much as I'd like to. I reckon therefore that getting a rowing machine in the back room would be a good move -- 20-30 minutes on that every day give or take. Something I enjoy also. Purpose, by the way, is cardio/FAT LOSS.
Any opinion as to my thinking, and anything I should look for or avoid when buying the machine?
Thanks. |

I love this thread :D
Anyways, my goal is to rid of my beer belly and I was wondering what exercises would be useful. A friend of mine recommended that I sprint about 2-3 times a week. Any opinions/thoughts on this? |

Sprinting will make you gain leg muscle, it's difficult stuff.
Long distance running at a slower pace obviously will help you shed your beer belly... basically to shed your beer belly, ie. fat you have to do cardio.
This in cohesion with ab strengthening exercises will help to tone and develop your abs too.
I hate to admit it but I hate cardio at the gym... bike / treadmill in an isolated environment, so boring... so hot... in my holidays, running on the water on the beach: that was :crazy: Awesome stuff.
Anyhow, basically cardio 3 to 4 times a week, 30 - 40 mins... make sure you drink lots of fluid, and I haven't mentioned anything about nutrition... meh, you what's good for you. |

Oh yeah, I haven't introduced myself...
I'm Vesh and I like going to the gym: been going @home for a year or so... and in my holidays have progressed to joining a gym for lack of options @home... 1 week in... 2 months left until Uni... let's hope the progression is great! |
