--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o.k.
this is a diary thread for a project im just starting.
i will update it about once month for arm measurements and weight lifted etc.
and also write i it anything else as i go, feel free to add comments or your own projects
o.k, a little background info..
i been training since i was about 12, 13,.. push ups, make shift weights sprinting, all that stuff, (when i was about 12 13 i used to get 2 and 3 litre plastic squash bottles and after theyd been used i woul fill them with water and strap some together...only like ftrom 4-12 kilos depending on if 2 or 3 litre bottles were used and if i strapped 2 or 3 to each other)
i didnt want ANYONE to know i was doing it, i kept it very quiet..not that being a teenage boy i wasnt being secretive anyways..
so i got some concrete weights when i was 15 (thats the first everyone knew...that was a bit too hard to keep secret) and then i got my bench at 16, then some metal weights, and now ive got 6-700kg or something like that, and about 3 5ft bars, a bunch of dumbells, a couple e-z bars and tricep bar, a stand /squat rack that i use for military press and a couple other bits and pieces.
i was muscular from a young age i guess, when i was 17 i was muscular and slim too, an attractive shape kinda, then 18 and 19 i was training and eating a lot, i grew from like 11 stone or so (154-160ib) to about 15 or so (210-215ib) i was thicker all over, bigger neck, legs, chest shoulders..everything (even waist ) my arms were upto 17" hanging, cold.
then..stuff happened, family stresses/ deaths, too much crazy shift work and depression etc, so i basically lost that and dropped down again to about 12 stne (168ib) when i was 20, then i turned 21, 22 and now 23 with roughly during which time ive been a max of 12stone (168ib) and a minimum of 10stone (140ib)... im around 11 9 today (163ib)
im pretty puny right now, my eating is still very poor but it is a lot better than a month or 3 weeks ago, i am finding that i wake up because i am extremley hungry and in my dreamsd imm searchng for food..(no need to tell me im an idiot please...i know i am, and besides thats something im attempting to address already) so im carrying watyer, fat and my muscle and strength is down.
SO.
my project is to start and stick to a fairly well put together diet, with about 150gm pro perday and ?carbs? and 3 servings of veg.
and to get healthier and better shape..the best shape that i have ever been.
and stronger.
i will give myself X amount of months (maybe 6, maybe 12?dont know yet)
and i want to bring my arms upto 17 inchs, lean and dry but hydrated.
then i can feel better..and be stronger, know im giving my body what it needs nutritionally and i can tan up wear short t-shirts and let my neighbours see that i aint playing haha.
so thats some background stuff.
so, onto the rest:
my new training schedule (not inc cardio here etc, just weights)
MONDAY:
incline bench 1 set 5 reps
e-z bar curl 1 set 5 reps
military press 1 set 5 reps
one arm row 1 set 5 reps
deadlift 1 set 10 reps
weighted crunch 1 set 15-25 reps
(aim is minimal stress trying to gain strength)
WEDNESDAY:
chins x 10reps weighted
pullups x 10 reps weighted
military press
hammer curl
a tricep exercise
and something else
(aim is to focus on lagging shouders and back width and ovcourse..arms, i may tweak this around still but its also a more fun workout as monday is all business, i do more than single sets tho but i will tweak as i go..)
REST OF WEEK IS PURE REST (weights anyway)
my current lifts i will update as i go once a month. all are at the statedrep range, to keep it simple i will put the name only and as i get stronger add the date and weight.
INCLINE BENCH:95KG/209ib
EZ CURL:60KG/132ib
MILITARY:72KG/159ib
ONE ARM ROW:59KG/130ib
DEADLIFT:102.5KG/225ib
ABS:5KG/11ib
ARMS 14 1/4"
WEIGHT around 11 stone 7 / 161ib
upper arms hanging cold, straight measure a shameful 14 1/4"
(dont laugfh at me too hard, ive had months of very very little sleep and very very little to eat (i dont really have the money to eat properly anyway), my bodies been stripping off my muscle tissue to survive obviously, infact this is the smallest ive been in a long time..and yes im very hungry right now and i woke up this morning cos i was soo hungry, in my dream i was searching for food and was climbing a ladder with a beefburger only to find i couldnt fit through the gap to get food cos it was too small and then i couldnt climb anymore cos i was too weakened..my dream lol, nevermind )
anyways, thats my weight routine, weight and size today.
i plan to be better than ive ever been....
so this is my diary.
i will add to this later as i try to sort my diet out..with a little help?
Take care y`all

Another thing. You like action movies, right?
I just bought a ched load of Van Damme films; they really are awesome for motivation and inspiration. He had an AWESOME body back then. You should buy one called In Hell (You may have to order it online). It's a fairly new movie, 2003 I think. He gets sent to prison and he has to fight these other prisoners in this tournament thing called The Shu if I remember correctly. Good good film!

actually im hoping for some input in that area..
ive had many diets and stuff, ive got a folder full of stuff, old diets to sheets of paper with nutrituion values from food packages stuck on them..maybe i wilol go check it out again.
my aims are (until much later)
150GM PROTEIN A DAY
CARBSX
VEG
water x 2-6litres
vitamins and minerals
i ainm to have 3 main meals and maybe some snacks to achieve this..i realise smaller more frequent may bebetter but i need to be practical here.
once ive got a first draught fior my diet i will add it here.
but id imagine itd get tweaked too...

I find it hard with the smaller, frequent meals too. So I just try to get as much protein as I can whatever it may be from.

Yeah Lionheart is good, have that on DVD. The UK title for it is A.W.O.L
He's making a new film called Kumite, it was going to be a sequel to Bloodsport or it is a sequel to Bloodsport, but they had to change all the names. Something like that anyway.

That picture I posted, he is older there.
But at his peak he looked amazing, nothing spectacular size wise, but I suppose that doesn't really matter.
His glutes were amazing! And his legs too. Anyone know how tall he is/was? I have heard he is only small, but I came across a source that said he was 5'10", so not really that small.

i have heard that he is 5` 4"
but i have also heard 5`7"
i dont think hews 5`10 though.
but the height of famous people is had to know, ive always understood arnold was 6`2, but someone who saw him inm person tried to tell me he looked 5`10.
so i guess its best hear from them themselves.
why dont yu ask him shinobi? ask van damme how tall he is

But then I also heard someone say he is dead small.

yeah, but i think it depends on whos saying it, and what state the famous person is in..(in shape or not) and also it depends on how much is bs and how much is accurate fact.

but van damme is way cool, i like him.

hmmm, ive altered my trainibhg, taken body girth measurements in 9 places and weighed in at a ligter weight than usual
i was considering protein, i was thinking about going to 200gm pro a day, then i was wondering if its too much..then i realised that protein builds muscle, carbs and fat may help but its the actual protein which forms it..along with the fact that my local (very local) rivals appear to be growing bigger and stronger than me by quite a lot (and they know it not good, not good at all) so i HAVE to give this all ive got.
so there it is, i am going to aim for 200gm protein a day (still tweaking carbs) i need bigger and stronger...im getting outmuscled and thats just not on!
i got 4 burgers and 400gm potatoes and mixed veg infront of me, i trained hours ago and havent eaten yet..hmm, so im going to begin my protein increase right NOW....
ss
[edit, just finished, the burgers had 22 gm of pro eachx 4 is 88. hmm, i feel very full i was big at one stage, and i got that way by mainly eating a lot along with hard training ovcourse. i dont like the bigger waist that accompanies eating more but i gotta do something, so i guess im aiming fior around 65-70gm protein per meal ((3 meals)) hmm, this will be difficult, but not impossible]
i`ll keep this updated.

hmm,
diet still not sorted, i guess if i eat what i want i dont have the cash and besides its not that healthy to eat. on the other hand if i eat what i think is healthy food then soon my mind gets bored and refuses to eat, ive done that plenty in the past...been extremley hungry, cooked myself proper food, sat down and not taken a single bite from it
oh well, 200 gm protein is going to be pretty damn hard to take in too.
just did military and e-z curl, quick check on my physique..not happy at all (not even going to mention my crappy face and horrible hair ) basically all muscles too small, waist too big, skin too thick and holding a lot of water, and posture is bad.
hmm.
hmmmm.
HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
let me think....

ok an update.
i was doing once a week whole body training but now im starting to think im going to have to do my old routine of 3 times every two weeks (i was trying to do LESS and LESS OFTEN, because i hate HATE being tired)
so i may start the MONDAY-FRIDAY-WEDNESDAY routine again.
i actually hate my body no-matter what i do if i could alter my bone structure and everything i would, but since i hate this body so much and since sooner or later im going to be dead i am trying to get into the frame of mind of using that as an advantage and a positive somehow. i`ll try to explain later.
oh man life is confusing and unstable, how do y`all do it?.
anyways my routine will be short but hard, trying to get stronger etc.
maybe if i do well and get to a better shape and stronger ican go back to doing it once a week at a much later stage to just keep what i got.
{edit, looking at profiles on ps2 for soul calibur 2, sophitia, shes so gutsy and brave, OFFER YOUR SOUL!!!
hmm, i also want a smaller relaxed waist by 4 inchs, its neccesary for my shape to have a smaller waist, otherwise it looks wrong, like now.

Chin up, things can and will get better whether you believe that or not. I'm fine now dude, well, I'm still a bit paronoid because I know how I really felt previously about how I looked. Now, I'm comfortable with how I look, I wear pants and T-shirts down the street now, I wear pants and a shirt, I got a party coming up soon and I'm not having to worry over how I may look.
I mean, I'm not comfortable with how I look naked, there is still a lot of muscle and strength to be gained yet. But it's kool.

i have cut my hair short for ages, like 1cm or 2 max ontop and 1-3 mm on back and sides.
i cant spikey it cos its too thin/ sparse.
i had a dream lastnight that my hair grew real fast and it was long like lee priests, light blonde too. hmm, hair.

late shinobi, subzero does have big bastard arms
but i like tj combos even glacius are huge...damn...
look at glacius head shape, damn i wish i was big man shaped insteadof 5 foot 7 of nothingness
if only.....
anyways, i might have to tweak down my diet and tweak up cardio to drop this yukkie fat ive got now, i guess it just creeped up on me
anyways, im also extra cranky as seen in my post in general pe because im sooo exhausted, i put this down to the hard weight training so im going to tweak that too.
im also getting these chest pains around my heart area, and sometimes feel it go weird and last few weeks my head has started to spin now and then and stuff.
when i go to my doctors again in a couple of weeks i might ask for my blood pressure to be checked and see if i can get some bloodtests done.
i am actually extremley inactive, they say you should walk on average 10,000 steps a day but i doubt somedays if i even do 500
ok.
this is my current plan (not set in concrete, its a work in progress)
MONDAY:
weight training: incline bench, ez-curl, one arm row, deadlift, abs, military press.
TUESDAY:
cardio x 30 mins, hard enough to sweat a lot and flushed etc.
WEDNESDAY:
cardio 30 mins : : :
THURSDAY:
boxing practice, some bag work and shadow boxing
possibly sprinting when im sorted.
FRIDAY: cardio x 30 mins
SATURDAY:
SUNDAY:
im going to update my diet too.
in a little while im going to do 30 mins cardio...
i think im going to take a while to get 17" guns, i think by the time i increase my bench/ military and ez-curl by say 20% minimum i should have increased my arms, while at the same time trying to bring this waist DOWN.
i want to be lean, muscular athletic. with decent sized muscles and great strength ....i got a looooooong way to go. but thats ok.
i will update my diet later.
ss
p.s, hows your training going shinobi?

Sounds good man.
What size waist are you at the mo?
I'm not actually doing anything this week, well, I've been out of action since about last Friday or so. So I'm just having a week off to recover and let my body heal fully. Then I'll start back up on Monday, I'm going to start taking Creatine again too. And I have completely re-structured my leg routine, now it just consists of a load of Isometrics, Isotonics, Stretches and I'll just do Calf-Raises for my calves. So I'll also be starting that next week too, but I'm still keeping the same workout for my upper body, well, I have tweaked it a little but it more or less focuses on my arms more than anything.
I really need to regain my strength now, it doesn't really effect me much until I really think about how weak I am right now, then that just makes me eager for next week to arrive.
PS. What game is that screen from?

my waist? well im short with small body kinda so i NEED a smaller waist to balance out.
and have fun next week
be eager but be smart, it just takes a second of foolishness and your strength now will look awesome compared to if you were unable to train for ages
the screenshot is from KILLR INSTINCT!!!! used to play that game so much i wore out 3 control pads and my thumbs ached for months (seriously)
awesome looking huh?! well, i think so anyways.
ok, i just did 30 mins hard cardio (a little too hard i think)
my new diet (again not final, just for now, maybe wont even work..who knows?!)
BREAKFAST:
9-10 pieces frozen mash
small econ tin tuna
piece of fruit
LUNCH:
400gm new potatoes, boiled or microwaved.
300gm turkey meat, thigh diced.
bowl of mixed fresh veg: broccoli or greens, carrots x2, 3 mushrooms.
DINNER:
400gm new potatoes boiled
mixed frozen veg
protein source the size of my hand portion, beef, oily fish, white fish, chicken, etc.
[edit, when i was 21 i decided to get lean as i could, i ended up weighinmg around 10stone to 10stone 7 considering when i was 19 i was 15 stone or so it was a different look. i created a 3 meal a day plan and stuck to it along with cadio 5 days a weekl and lots i mean LOTS of water. it took me a couple of months but my abs showed clearly all the time, skin thin enough to show muscle seperation. im trying to do something like that but bigger muscles etc, i have almost no definition these days and no matter what i do my muscles seem to shrink
ive already had 17" arms and now im struggling with 14" i dont get it. except that my body is in a chronically high state of stress and therefore catabolism. anyways, im tired and headache and vey very hungry, food is cooking though so thats it for now, im out :yawns: ]

but im puny these days as you can see/ read
i think if you start young, teenager then you can grow faster and stronger than if your older.
my friend started at around 17, 18? and had manage in less than a year what had taken me severalin terms of size and strength, he gained like 4 stone of muscle in less than a year and got waaay stronger unbelievable!
if i hadnt have gotten inured and stressed etc i dont know how big id be by now? i quit 4 years ago.
ive never really been able to get big or strong since.
but ive been chronically stressed by various things everyday pretty much sincei was a teenager, i used to lok fresh faced and young for my age, now i look worn out and tired and old for my age.
things like that just increase my stress and tendencies to destroy my health. oh well.
i also have this thing in my mind which drives me crazy, its like tells me im too puny, but when im bigger it tells me it dont like it and i need to be smaller, anything my mind will pick upon and question unti i dont know anything. it always does it, i guess its the part of me that has a very open mind and doesnt want to kick out any possibilities no matter how impossible sounding.
let me try to give an example...i feel watched/ paranoid like theres cameras and people tapping my phoneline and everything, why? no idea no matter how much i try to shake it i felt thisway for years. no matter how much i search for "bugs" or try to catch them out and no matter how much my logic tells me its not true PART of me knows that TECHNICALLY it could be possible, and it will make up any complicated long and improbable scenario as to possibly why.
i mean whats normal is what your used to right? well...what can i say?
it screws me up over almost every situation from missing out on sex opportunities to not leaving the flat to being paranoid about what i can an cannot wear. itll take a reasonably straight forward thing and imagine all of these crazy and unlikely possibilities until i can no longer feel secure in saying what the original answer would be for fear of being wrong and then i just make myself look stupid or crazy or just a dumbass. writing this im wondering if there isnt a word for this, im sure its not normal or healthy (to the degree i do it), or is it? damn it this thing undermines me.
any thoughts?
SS
and yes i really do feel like im being watched and listened to 24/7 no matter where i go i felt like that since i was maybe 17, 18? is that normal?
ss

hmm, ok, im going to add calf raises t my routine onmondays because theyre getting skinnier and skinnier and for a guy who usually has quite muscular calfs its a bit disconcerting
im also gouinmg to tweak my deadlifts.
possibly add a hamstring exercise too (possibly)
so heres my updated workout plan:
MONDAY:
INCLINE BENCH: 5REP
EZ-CURL: 5REP
ONE ARM ROW: 5REP
DEADLIFT: 20REP
ABS: 15 REP
MILITARY PRESS: 5REP
CALF RAISE: 30 REP
(the reason for moving military press down the list is becase doing it too close to bench is impossible cos my triceps ae too fried. im gouing to re-organise my weights hee at home by putting back in my stands (metal chairs ) for calf raise bar..because calf raiose ends up being a bigger weight usually and lfting it from a stand at thigh height is a lot better for me then lifting it from the floor...also it will be up against a wall so i can lift the weight and my back s against the wall..all balance istaken care of, all i neeed to do is calf raise until i cant no more )
what exercises do you do clockers?
and hows your tweaking of your routine going shinobi?

{edit, just got in from going to the movies with some friends, i wore a t-shirt when i got there and back (though night time and my neighbours didnt see but i also got a nice smile from a worker at the cinema i guess she thought i was ok felt damn good to wear that, even though it was/is night time.
anyways i just got in, very sleepy and missed meal 3, i just did a bunch of exercises as soon as i got in, i did pushups, chins and shoulder push ups (im real tired and just did them to prepare me for next thursday, i did crappy amount to my previous bests but hey, im working on it, my nut/s ache and burn and im aready to sleep, i will update my exercises at the bottom of the post. im having a banana and maybe a yoghurt, i might try to sneak in some protein but idf i closed my eyes nw id probably fall asleep im so tired, headache etc :yawns: }
hmm, ive edited my diet very slightly.
im also considering adding a bodyweight exercises day to thursday.
a friend of mine does mainly only bodyweight and he looks incredible, he can also lift some serious weight when he wants to.
so anyway, i used to do tonnes of push ups and stuff, now its time to have un again.
i dont want to set thursday workout in stone, itll be more of a pumping up day then a intense weight thing. no weights on thursday.
so it should look something like this:
MONDAY:
INCLINE BENCH: 5REP
EZ-CURL: 5REP
ONE ARM ROW: 5REP
DEADLIFT: 20REP
ABS: 15 REP
MILITARY PRESS: 5REP
CALF RAISE: 30 REP
THURSDAY:
(in no particular order or plasn yet)
PUSH UPS, PULLUPS/CHINS, SHOULDER PUSH UPS, ABS, KICKS
{edit, just got in and did a brief workout:
Pushups x 70
chins x 15
shoulder push up x 19 },
i think keeping it fairly short will help, but i gotta remember high reps and less stress.
[still working on those 17" arms, got 3 inchs to grow ]

oh man!
since i saw the doc he told me no sex or masturbation (no ejaculation, or stimulation) until i dont know when?...., at least until my next apointment next thursday i guess.
but all i can think about is sex, all ive been able to think about is sex, and ive "accidentally" played around a few times (but only a few seconds) and man, i cant take it looking at porn has been a dumbass thing to do to my nuts ache and burn anyqway and i getting blueballs...damnit!
hmm, so anyways im glad i got this thread, tome to really concerntrate and focus on the REST of my body excluding everything between my legs
hmm, ok, my arms are looking a little bit fuller in the triceops since i restarted push ups yesterday, i forgot the triceps shape it used to give me, i like it but my arms havent grown yet, lunch is nearly ready so more nutrition soon.
hmm, what else? oh yeah, im making deadlifts into a 20 rep set non-stop to try and bring as much of my thighs into play and worked as possible including inner thigh.
im still relatively new to deadlifts so im still playing around with perfecting my far from perfect technique.
i also think im going to add an orange or satsuma as the fruit in the morning meal, i think i feel better when i have opranges even though hey do bloat my stomach a little (im guessing from the fruits sugar)
anyways, really trying to cool off my loins and just think muscle.

i do standard and inclined (i put my feet up on my bench)
the incline ones give me a better overall development especially upper pecs. i have only done one set of push ups standard yesterday. next time i`ll do inclined too.

Lol, it just got hot all of a sudden for some reason. It's OK now though.
Yeah, I'm real tired. I gotta PE soon though, and have a shower (Warm-down) then I'll probably watch tele in bed, if there is newt on watch a film. I'll probably end up falling asleep watching it anyway.
Going into Liverpool tomorrow, gotta get some clothes. And some more Creatine too.

Here is some pics of me I took today, clothed of course.
I was going to take some with just shorts on or something, for a comparison monthly. But I ended up getting dressed so I'll take them later.

man, you got some big mansize hands and body.
you are much bigger than me
hmm.
cool pics, leave em up. great hair too.
you trying to show off your handsome hair cos im, balding?! (joke you do have great hair though, you remind me of my oldest nephew in hair and face shape.)
really cool, leave em up, why dont you do some before and afters? no-one said you had to post them until/ or unless you werernt ready, but for your own reference at least?
id do lots of pics even though i hate my body.
but i still not decided on which digital camera yet
hopefully sooner rather than later i`ll sort myself out and get one, then i`ll add some pics too.
im really trying to increase arm size and strength asap, wihin weeks i mean cos i want to wear t-shirt!!!!!! my neighbours are thinking im puny, but i cant go out as is cos i need to be bigger
im going to do arms in a minute, might try to do a set of e-z curls everyday for a week to try to get stronger etc.
might no work but hey..
im working overall body but im concerntrating on arms and maybe shoulders?

Hehehe, thanks.
Yeah, I'm leaving them up. The only reason I didn't take any "befores" before, was 'coz I just couldn't be arsed. I'll probably take them later after PE and my shower, if not then I'll do them tomorrow.
You should definately try that everyday, but it's up to you. What I found when I was working out everyday (This would have been as soon as I came back from my holidays, so erm, a good few weeks ago now), was I gained a lot of strength, very quickly. It was like an explosive charge, a bomb just waiting to go off. Then I suddenly lost it all and went quite weak again.
I don't know how it'll effect you, but it's worth a try, for the moment, it feels awesome.

SS, you're making me eager now. I really cannot wait for 2morrow. I'm starting on the Creatine again too, I'v cycled with it once before and the results were promising.
I have started to cycle with it a few times prior to that too, but I just quit after a about 2 days because I can't be arsed with the loading. But now that my sleeping patterns are back in order, everything is just so much better.

you dont need to do a load phase.
just take the 5gm a day or whatever the maintainence dose is, itll add up believe me.
but it can draw water under the skin aswell as under the muscles, when i usd it i got stronger and more pumped, but cuts dissapear slightly.
also i had to double my water intake as it can be dehydrating.
anyways, just some advice incase you dont already know
my arms must be stronger and bigger, i know what my goal is.
but shit i go to lift stuff that is lighter than ive done before and i cant wtf? i really dont get it, at all.
when i see the doctor on thursday im going to ask for va blood test for everything, if i forget i`ll smack myself in the mouth
(i have been known to foget suff a lot)
ive also got my regular weights tomorrow, im not really looking forward to it though, im sure itll be a struggle and i`ll be dragging my feet through it just tired and lethargic and lacking power.
but damn, each day that passes is a daycloser to death, i aint got no time to waste!!!!
have fun tommorow

I know the Loading isn't really necessary, but if you just start with a Maintenance level of say 10g per day, won't that take like a good few weeks?
I'd rather get it done in the first week than wait a few weeks?

I've never had a good experience with Creatine. I dunno why.
I've been supplement free for nearly a year now...I'm much more cut now instead of somewhat bloated from the supplements.

10gm a day is high enough to be a loading dose all by itself!
is it micronised?
it really doesnt take that long, i think one week at 10gm a day and youd be loaded, once saturated probably even 5gm would do.
then again i giess its different for everyone.
i still got 250gm creatine in my cupboard.
i used to order lots of stuff.
but i decided that no matter what quality my body just was not intereted i whey protein.
but yeah, i think thatd do no problem regarding the creatine.
also forget taking it with orange juice if thatswhat it says..unless you want to look bloated. the orange juice or sugar will give you an insulin spike as its supposed to but much will go t fat and outside the muscle, what i used to do was eat my dinner or lunch or breakfast and when i was halfway through my meal id ake the creatine. why? better absorbtion into muscles, i dont care what some report says i know what the body expects and it expectsto get create from whole meals, besides i think they started suggesting that too a couple years ago now.
anyways, just my take on it.

hmmm, im considering lowering bench from 5-3 reps.
im playing arond with 1-2 rep sets with plenty of rest with ez curls tonight. in order to boost strength for the 5 rep lift of ez curl.
(if i dont do direct bicep worjk they get smkler and weaker,..having said that ive done no direct work for triceps for years and it shows imo)
i cant be bthered setting up closer gripbench press for triceps anymore.
i like to leave the weights on the bars, too lazy to chnge them.
hmm.

thursday will be mainly bodyweight exercises and kicks, i want a big powrful bunch of kicks, (if anyone or "anything" comes to attack me i want to be able to kick its f###king head off!!!!!!!!!! if it wants to rip out my jugular i want a Grip and speed so sick i will get its jugular first and not let go of that mofo ((im a bit pumped and aggersssive and defensive having read anothr thread just now, so my mind is on the offensive,...no good getting stronger and faster if your gonna be helpless to an attack ))

Yep, sure have.
Btw, what thread just pissed you off?
Well anyway, I got home from work today and did my workout straight away, here's what I done today (And what I do M-W-F):
Stretches (Mostly stuff from the Zen in the art of Self-Resistance site)
Scissor Grip (Some thing I have, don't know what the fuck it's called but it works arms, traps and mostly pecs)
Barbell Curls
Alternating Dumbbell Curls
Dumbbell Shrugs
Barbell Upright Row
One-Arm Side Laterals
Alternating Standing Dumbbell Press
Push-ups (For now, only standard)
Dumbbell Wrist Curls
That's pretty much what I do, well, that is what I do. I have done a lot of tweaking and that's perfect for me. It's pretty much what I was doing about 2 weeks ago before I took a break, except take away some of the shoulder and traps stuff.
I'm only doing about 1-2 sets for each exercise, mostly 1 set, just 2 sets for some. Push ups, I do at the end of my workout, just 1 set at 10 reps - holding it for 10 seconds on the way down, sometimes I'll do about 15-20 reps depending on how I feel.
After this week, I'll most likely move up to 3-4 sets per exercise which I was doing previously.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I do leg work - no weights involved though, I just do Isometrics and Isotonics, with stretches and calf raises.
Oh, I just had some big fat rump steak with peppercorns for my tea, with new potatoes and peas. Mmmm, the steak was gorgeous.
It's amazing how strong I feel after just one day back on the job, I would have liked to have dived back in straight at the deep end with more sets, but I just didn't want to fuck myself out again. So I'll wait out this week with just 1-2 sets.
What about you? How has today been?

hmm, interesting.
btw that food sounds great :drools:
personally i would put shrugs at the end of a workout because it can tire arms before youve finished, but if it all feels good then dont change it
just doing the one set of standard push ups last thursday has pumped my pecs up, they used to be a big handful, but since i just do bench thy got flatter and stronger, i dont want them too big cos of my shape, but having some meat on there under t-shirts looks cool
i been doing e-z curl 1-2 rep sets here and there for the last 2 days, i might o one more tonight, i started using my 5 rep ez curl weigt of 60, and now im upto 66.5, im hoping to get to 75 or something by friday it sounds like a lot but my strength haas been stuck for months and months, i think a strength spurt is way overdue.
their not much bigger but hey definitly feel like the good old days (my biceps).
am doing deadlift with 20reps now, only managed a puny 75 for now.
hmm, oh yeah, im going to keep bench press on mondays at 5 reps not 3, its too much strwss for my joints to handle on the bench.
feel a little stronger on one arm row, put hat up a kilo for next week.
and damn keep getting bad heartburn
as for what pissed me off? something that happenedv o someone that someone mentioned (not pissed off with anyon here, just at what they said happened, and i get real defensive and in WAR mode )
anyways, might try to get 67 on ez curl tonight, its etting harder though, especially ince training today made me real tired.

ok, just did two sets of one rep for ez curl, both on 67.
i quit for tonight now, thats it. tommorow i hope to go higher.
i may even finish this experiment on thursday to coincide with my training day. plus since i started on sunday not monday it would be 5 days.
have bad heartburn but man, im really hungry....
gonna cook some dinner, should have eaten between 6 and 7 my schedules already slipping
if this works i may try it with military press in a few weeks after resting.
(bench press has been just too stressful to do lots of 1rm`s in past experiments)
..just started some burgers in the oven
my 400gm potatoes are already cooked (and cold by now )
hows the leg exercises going for you? notice any improved shape or strength?
i also am begining to think about how the body works in terms of growth, i think that aswell as the slow gradual growth in size and strength the once in a long while growth / strength spurts are also important and possible.
hmm.

About my legs - It's just the weirdest thing, I was totally hammering my thighs with everything I could, it felt great, but just before my week off that's when I stopped using any weights for my legs, I just couldn't do it anymore and I just all of a sudden grew sick of squats, I used to enjoy them.
Anyway, during my week of my legs just seemed to have completely reformed, they have changed, shape wise, big time! In just so little time, I feel a lot leaner around the thighs, and more trimmed.
My main purpose right now, isn't really mass, especially for my legs which is why the Self-Resistance training on my legs just seems like the perfect thing right now.
They could still do with a little work; well rather they do need work but only strength wise really. So yeah, my legs are fine now. Not really the problem anymore.

cool ok.
size wise my legs are small
they were muscular but skinnyish (24") as a 17 year old, then i grew them to just under 28" now these days theyre a bit smaller than when i was 17!!
26" lean would do me, thats my goal.
when they were bigger they would rub together and hurt
as for squats? i think that you might be overtraining here and there, thats why you get sick of things. thats why also you can feel better after quitting for a few weeks, imho.
i used to love squats but started to hate them because i did too much too often, in the end one set of fifteen did best.
but these days i HATE ALL TRAINING it makes me really exhausted evertime, but i gotta do it to keep and hopefully gain strength.
my face is sagging these days, and sinking under my eyes from always being tired! and im 23!!!
anyways.

How has today been?
Well, I feel on a high. Upper body wise, I feel my strength is going through the roof! My arms are so much bigger already, and feel a lot more powerful. It's only been one day back on the weights, and 2 days on the Creatine too.
I'm going to add more weight next week, keep the sets down to about 2-3 or so. I'm definitely ready for me, I'm prepared now mentally, physically and strength wise, I feel so much stronger.
I just want to freak out too, but I don't have a punch bag. If I lived on my own, I would be hitting all the walls as a means of release, but I can't. What can I release it on? It's building up by the second, it really does feel like I'm about to explode sometime soon. Something will spark it off and that's when I'll blow, someone is either going to hear something they didn't wanna hear, or receive something they definitely didn't wanna receive!

a lot of stuff you say i recognise,
listen, i get so worked up i just shout loud in the middle of silence, so loud and hard that when i stop i got flashes infront of my eyes and i can smell blood.
get a punch bag bro, i got one from argos or index, got it delivered, its like the 32kg one.
sometimes i batter it, but it hangs in my doorway from as chinup bar and when i go past i oftenm elbow it to the gut (i put a t-shirt on it .

glad to hear your feeling strong bro.

you tell me bro?
i had a crazy half hour sessioon today with punchbag and moves.
im really getting hungry, considering increasing calories (i cant be eating much at the moment, well not enough, certainly no-where near the 2-2500 cals a day a mans sposed to eat.
my arms appear slighly fuller, maybe 1/4" bigger since sunday?
but im craving carbs so much, might try a little creatine to boost strength.
im going to try a new taining day im experimenting with for my thursday workout, it will be a few bodyweight exercises, push ups incline push ups etc, and kicking, and a bunch of one rep sets of bench press and ez curl.
(frankly my bench is piss poor especially considering how long ive been doing it, so these one rep sets are aimed to increase strength for the regular monday workouts) i will let you know how it goes.
meantime im suspecting that too few calories are holding me back growth wise.
and my forearm is kinda scraped up from punchbag work
i also was punching myself in the stomach all over real fast, and im not impressed with its lack of strength/ toughness to resist hard blows to any great degree.
so im gonna do abs crunches with weights.
what about you?

That's the spirit, you slag!
Things like that only make you more determined too, so it's only a good thing.
Anyway, being me, I went against Oldie's word and ordered some Test. Boosters to go along with my Ball Zinger. I guess there is only one way to find out if they do jack, and that's to try them. It's not like they took a chunk out my pocket either, pretty cheap and the money wasn't a problem for me. I'm saying they this, they were only £21.99 a bottle, I spend that much on food in about a week or two on my dinner, food that I shouldn't really be eating. So I figure this will compensate.
Anyway, I'm already noticing the effects of Creatine, I'm taking Creatamax 8000GL but I just can't stand the flavour, I hate the taste of supplements!
But it's something that I can bare with. After I have used that up, I'll finish of the other tub I have got left over from a while back then that's me done.
It was leg day today, I don't get pumped up with all the rage and shit when I do my legs, it's just more of a relaxing feeling. Isometrics and the works really are something; they sure do test your true power. Started on the one-legged squats too, lovin' them!
I really look forward to M-W-F's though, just hammering those weights and releasing everything that has built up inside me throughout the week. Feels awesome, I just get so crazy, it's insane.

Things like that only make you more determined too, so it's only a good thing.
Anyway, being me, I went against Oldie's word and ordered some Test. Boosters to go along with my Ball Zinger. I guess there is only one way to find out if they do jack, and that's to try them. It's not like they took a chunk out my pocket either, pretty cheap and the money wasn't a problem for me. I'm saying they this, they were only £21.99 a bottle, I spend that much on food in about a week or two on my dinner, food that I shouldn't really be eating. So I figure this will compensate.
Anyway, I'm already noticing the effects of Creatine, I'm taking Creatamax 8000GL but I just can't stand the flavour, I hate the taste of supplements!
But it's something that I can bare with. After I have used that up, I'll finish of the other tub I have got left over from a while back then that's me done.
It was leg day today, I don't get pumped up with all the rage and shit when I do my legs, it's just more of a relaxing feeling. Isometrics and the works really are something; they sure do test your true power. Started on the one-legged squats too, lovin' them!
I really look forward to M-W-F's though, just hammering those weights and releasing everything that has built up inside me throughout the week. Feels awesome, I just get so crazy, it's insane.
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN RIGHT!!!!!
GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
:BEATS CHEST:
let me know hw the test boosters go
i might get some creatine next week too.
coolm, release that POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
and yeah, supplements are usually rank!!

Hahaha, cool.
I could just watch either Predator or Terminator, but I'm just too tired and I gotta be up early tomorrow. Probably watch one tomorrow night.
I love Michael Beihn's character (Reese) too, in Terminator, he made an awesome job of that role.

i just did some military press, aimed for 5 reps but just got 4.
i would really like to get to military pressing 125. im only 70 something so thats like 50-55 more.
but my shoulders and triceps need it.
i also want to be able to curl 90.
and press 155.
those are my goals.
im a long way off but maybe i can get there faster?
after my dinners gone down more i might do some press ups,
my goal for press ups is 200 in 3 minutes (not perfect press ups but regular ones, slightly cheating form, ive done that when i was 16 and i want to do it again.)

Good stuff guys, you have motivated me to get back to the old weights and PE, I noticed I have lost some muscle off my arms as I haven't done a proper workout in months and random PE sessions. So its time to get organised and get pumping that fookin iron!
Height - 5ft 11
Weight - 213lbs
Waist - 36
I wont clutter up this thread with diet details, just a random post here or there to update on the training (or I could make my own thread if you prefer)
Right bed time....fucking pissed people downstairs stamping around singing "Can't take my eyes off you" over and over...fuckers next time I am gonna put my guitar amp facing down and crank out some heavy metal riffs and solos to send them a hint.

im training for strength overall, but extra size on my arms and shoulders.
im surrounded by morons who think they can intimidate me, this is very pissing me off especially since ive BEEN bigger and stronger. but hey, past dont matter, this is the present baby!
so i want strength, speed, skills and bigger shoulders to makeme wider and bigger arms so i can wear a t-shirt and have those future bad boys just hang big and powerful... AND GET THAT IMAGE IN THEIR FACE!!!!!! i want them to think "woah, that guy looks like he could hurt me, and he already sems crazy" F##K WITH ME WILL YA??!! RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
so in conclusion, im looking to gain serious strength compared to what i got and add extra size to shoulders and arms

this is a tag team fest of strength and muscle!!!!!!!!!!!!
we know what we want and we intend to get it, this is a diary and update of our journey there, the journey is long and hard but thats why we have each other to boost off of when we stumble.

looks like im the smallest and the lightest oh jeez i gotta lot of work to do!
i just finished breakfast, at almost 3pm
breakfast should be between 8-9am
lunch 12-1pm
dinner 6-7pm.
i increased the mash pieces from 8 to 10 and im considering adding a fourth meal, bot its gotta be simple and minimum preparation or it wont work.
also considering buying a little creatine, i got sme in my cupboard but its been open for months and i dont think its still good.
being monday its my whiole body weights day, im hoping to increase military press by 1 kilo, and ez curl by 1-2 kilos and bench by 1-2 kilos for my 5 rep sets.
lately my power for military press just isnt there ive already droped down 5 kilos in strength with that lift, its frustrating.
but i think my upperbody would look a lot better with bigger round delts. and i need the extra width as my sholder clavicles are not wide at all
i ntend to train either in an hour or so or much later dependng ion when i eat "lunch".

I am only the size I am through family genetics, everyone in my family takes after my mum (fairly tall, slim) and I am the only one who takes after my dad who is 6ft and build like a brick wall and he has never done any weight training.
Just did my workout...It felt so good to be back in business, I feel much better after the workout as well (not so drowsy)
I have lost a lot of body fat this year so far, I peaked at 228lbs which is when I decided to do some cardio which was mainly simple stuff like jumping jacks, hill climbers and some skipping (dont laugh ). I have still got quite a bit to go but I am getting there!

what are hill climbers?
and jumpin jaxcks, are those when you jump up and spread em, or is that crouching with legs extending and tucking under you?
(i know i should know )
skipping? nah thats cool, boxers do that. skippinmg ropes are used always in any kind of circuit training class at most gyms, its all good .
your dad sounds, solid.
228 your a big un huh?!
i was only 215 max.
its good to feel that workout huh?!
whats you current workout consist of kid?
i gotta get psyched up for mine, might stagger it over he next few hours, you know maybe try some lifts now, if i fail them try them again in a few hours.

Hill climbers are when you put your hands on the floor make your legs take big steps (its quite hard to describe). It may be a different name over here because I got most of my cardio workout from WWE Tough Enough where they train wanna be wrestlers up, even though Pro Wrestling is fake and they are probably all on roids they have amazing stamina!
Most of the weight loss was changing my diet around, instead of drinking coke I would drink fruit juice or milkshake (normally after cardio workout) and buying healthier food and in not such big quantities. I do a lot more walking as well, most days I spend about 1-2 hours walking to, from and around uni.
I have not decided on my full workout, today I just used free weights 20kg dumbell on biceps 2 sets of 10 and shoulders 25kg dumbell on each arm 2 sets of 10....just to get back into it, I wasnt sure exactly how much strength I have lost.
PS jumping jacks are when you jump up and spread your arms and legs.

COOL OK KID, I UNDERSTAND I THINK
sounds like a good refresher for weights.
you gona experiment a little for a couple of weeks or something?
UPDATE FOR SS:
BOLLOCKS!!!
i f##ked up.
i did my routine today all half assed and back to front,
i couldnt manage the eights. too weak again wtf?!
i think im overtraining, in past my best schedule has actually been 3 times every 2 weeks, monday-friday-wednesday-repeat. BUT. i hate that schedule for its frequency.
i actually hate weight training, so doing moe of it doesnt appeal, im thinking i may have to do that schedule for full body though........
but cos im trying to get out of it what i will do is this:
MONDAY
INCLINE BENCH 5 REP
EZ CURL 5 REP
MILITARY PRESS 5 REP
ONE ARM ROW 5 REP
DEADLIFT 20 REP
SRSLD (STIFF LEG DEADLIFT) 10 REP
CALF 30 REP
ABS 15 REP
THURSDAY
PUSH UPS/INC PUSH UPS.
PULLUP/CHIN
ABS
POSSIBLY SHOULDER PUSH UPS
(THIS TIME NO WEIGHTS ON THURSDAY AT ALL, PURELY BODYWEIGHT)
this finding the right balance is pissing me off, i know that 3 x every 2 weks has worked before but i really dont want to do it. the moment it gets complicated is the moment i lose it.
f##keries!!!!!!!!!
SS
now im insanely hungry and lunch is only half cooked.
i wont quit though
i really want this new rotine to work.

Yes I will be experimenting to see which areas need more work etc...I also need to go to argos or something and buy some more weights to put on my EZ bar because I can lift it all fairly easily, but I will have to wait for my student loan to come in first.

Sorry guys,
I was really busy yesterday, work, then weight training and then PE. So I didn't have time to get to my computer. I had an insane workout though, and my PE went great too.
I'm thinking of adding Squats to my routine again, but just once per week this time, every Saturday.
I just wanted to explode yesterday, work was pissing me off and then we had people coming the house, so it was a tight squeeze but I managed to get everything done.
I'll post up more when I get more time later after work.

I just tried my chances at crushing an apple again. I have definately imporved, I could feel the skin on the apple sort of contracting and shriveling a bit. I felt the apple inside give a bit too, but I was still a fair way from crushing it.
Depending on how things go, I reckon in a few weeks my mission will be acomplished!

Well yeah I train a bit. Probably 3 days a week now. I used to be upwards of 6 days a week. But the thing is, I would basically stay at the same weight. I lost a bit of weight over the summer for some reason, and I feel better. I'm more ripped I suppose. I'll post here too...since I don't keep a physical log of what I do.

Mind if I join currently doing a 2 days a week Olympic workout, and running at least twice a weak. Looking to get stronger don't really care about size, because I look good now, but any size that comes my way will not be shunned.

Basically I need access to a gym because I have NEVER been to a gym. So I might as well join the university one because its all brand new and cheap to join, can do plenty of cardio there as well
I did have some good gloves before I moved up here but I guess I forgot to pack them, and come to think of it I dont think my ones ever got washed either

My workouts otherwise would get very restrictive because I dont have a bench and have little room for things like that, dont want monster arms and no pecs right?

I dont know, the bench we had at school was rubbish and you had no way of telling how much you were lifting because all the plates were different sizes. I did lift the lot fairly easily though but I just do one arm push ups.

just thinking:
a friend of mine is training, he trains his arms with 20-30 rep sets, his arms have grown to like 17".
also a lot of bodybuilders i noticed do lie 10 rep set folowed by another and another with only like 30-90 seconds in between (i.e, almost continuous) its true that higher reps develops more mitochondria within the muscles and also increases the existing ones sizes and increases capillarisation.
im wondering if doing a couple of arm supersets with 20-30 reps might have an effect, or 10 reps with 30 sec rest?
my arms are much too small.
i am still considering split training bt my immune system isnt that hot these days so training too often wears me down
i guess im going to do my full body on mondays and bodyweight on thursdays for a few weeks more at least (probably) but i have a bunch of routines id like to try, (3 day push/ pull/ leg split, proabably consecutive to allow a full 4 days rest) stuff like that.
cos right now i do 5 rep sets, and only one set.
i guess im training more like a powerlifter than a bodybuilder? but i want to be big and strong and stuff.
any thoghts?

I actually felt weak today, probably because I had a shit day.
But once I got into the swing of things, I felt quite strong again. I actually didn't think I was going to complete all my reps. But, I ended up doing an extra set for each, the strength just came from nowhere.
I'm going to carry on like this now up until, erm, about the end of June next year. I'm just going to gain as much muscle, strength, size and power as I can in that time lapse. Actually, depending on how things go, in a few months I may focus on some heavy compounds to boost my strength once more, then I'll return to my previous routine up until like I said the end of June.
Yes, the end of June, I'm going to start some cardio then, probably just cycling, but a LOT of it. Right now, I can't be fucked doing any. I just want to lift, lift and lift!!
Anyway, the reason I have this planned is because I got a holiday coming up in August. So, I want to be the best I can, muscle, strength and size wise. I'm also looking to hit 8" in erect length too. Right now, I'm at 6.5" with a routine focusing completely on length. I'll just try my best to reach the Deadlift. I mean deadline!

Nice to hear SS you're almost at normal calorie intake. Another way to get in some extra calories and nutrients is to make yourself smoothies with fruit or ice cream and milk. A nice size one can pack up to 1000 calories. Put some protein powder in there and you are set.

Not much today, sorry.
I took the day off, it was only Isometrics etc on my legs anyway, plus my calves are still pounded from the other day.
Hey, SS, I really can't wait for 2005, man! Gunna start back on the big lifts, HEAVY weight, low reps. Squats, Deads, Barbell Rows, Military Presses and I'm going to focus on forearm training too. Really going to hammer them. But no bench press, I don't have a bench.
Might do floor presses with dumbbells instead.

No, there ain't enough room, well, there probably is, but it would be a tight squeeze. There is a spare room which hardly gets used if at all, but my mum won't let me clear the shit out of it. Damn, I hate living at home!!
I have a big garage, but the only probably is, all of my dads tools are in there, he is a plasterer so plenty of it gets filled up with his tools and so on, otherwise, that would be the perfect place for me to train.

I have been craving carbs big time! I have been eating loads of cereal, bread, pasta and drinking loads of fruit juice....I didnt have enough time to do any workout today, boring day at uni and when I got home I spent 2 hours cleaning the flat so I really couldnt be bothered to do any weights. I will make up for it tomorrow before I go out!

Well, I guess I was just tired and worn out. So I kinda felt quite weak and not in the mood for my workout.
I think the core of the problem is my diet, I'm eating half of what I should be, maybe not even that! The protein is there, I'm just too tired to fucking eat. But, you learn from your mistakes. No longer can this be tolerated.
I think I'll start to get up a bit earlier in the week too, so I have more time, maybe 6:30. Yeah, 6:30 it is.
So, here is the latest that will be as from Monday:
From 6:30am onwards,
Breakfast
Big bowl of Tuna, Porridge, Protein Shake
Lunch
Hmm, not sure yet. Probably just a large sandwich, may take a protein bar in work with me now and then to have with it too.
5:30pm
Workout
Approx 6:30 - 7:00pm, Tea
Cooked meal, big fat steak, veg, potatoes and a protein shake
Weekends, my protein intake will be a lot greater than in the week. But I'll try my best i the week too.
Hey SS, I think I'm going to get a bench. Just a fold away one or something. Going to get it around December/January time in start with my strength training.
I was going to post up a sample of what my routine would roughly look like, but I think I'll post it tomorrow morning instead. I gotta go lye down, I'm nakerd.

Anyway - I always keep reading that 30g of protein at a time is all the body can handle, any more is stored as fat, so maybe staggering those protein shakes would be better.

shinobi,
if you find your feeling too tired to train and stuff what about reducing your training volume? at least for a few months to see how it goes?

so.................
my diets been off for a few days, still off today, eating less, eating less good food too.
feeling shitty about no pe gains an am extremley unfit cardiovascularly (certainly dangerously unfit) it shows, im puffy and carrying water )
im going to tweak my diet again i think, reduce the potatoes back to their 800gms from 1000gms, my stomach isnt massive anymore (i could eat sooo much a few years ago..crazy!)
and i think im going t add 3 eggs and another fruit as a before bed meal (yes, i know the fruit has sugar but i want something to release insulin to make the eggs absorbed better.)
my updated diet (restarting tommorow or monday) is this:
BREAKFAST:
9-10 pieces frozen mash
small econ tin tuna
piece of fruit
LUNCH:
400gm new potatoes, boiled or microwaved.
300gm turkey meat, thigh diced.
bowl of mixed fresh veg: broccoli or greens, carrots x2, 3 mushrooms.
DINNER:
400gm new potatoes boiled
mixed frozen veg
protein source the size of my hand portion, beef, oily fish, white fish, chicken, etc.
BEFORE BED:
friut
3 eggs, boiled fried, scrambled, whatever.
i`ll `see how this goes.
also changing my training, i`ll update that soon.
SO what about the rest of you?
SHINOBI, BEAST, T-PRO, BASEBALLER8 AND CLOCKERS.
hows your training going?

I really couldnt be bothered to do my workout today as I was a bit hungover after going to the pub with some of my friends, and I had to wake up at 8 to get my student loan stuff off the postman...but then I said to myself "You aint gonna improve if you keep making excuses, hangover or no hangover do your bloody weights" so I did

Yeah, it might seem like a lot, but when it's all said and done it will be OK.
That's not what I'm doing now, or starting soon, that's for next year. And, like I said, it's only an approx. Things will come and go.
Yeah, it's (Will be) a split.

update:
ok, i strained my lower back the other day, i was doing stiff legged deadlift (it gives me real good hamstrings) but its crap if it injures me again, so im going to drop it out of my routine again.
hopefully if i do deadlifts thoroughly my hamstrings will recieve enough work to grow and get stronger....
im also finding that my triceps dont get as hard as they shold when i flex them, they need direct work....
im also really keen to try dips for the triceps, except i dont have any dipping equipment and i dont want to do bench dips, hmm, i will have to look into this maybe.
my new routine will hav me working the body over 2 days once a week, say monday and tuesday.
havent set my routine in concrete..at all...and it is easily likely to change somehow.
but this is it at the moment:
MONDAY UPPER BODY:
INCLINE BENCH PRESS 1 SET 5 REPS
E-Z CURL 1 SET 5 REPS
MILITARY PRESS 1 SET 5 REPS
ONE ARM ROW 1 SET 5 REPS
......................the arm specialisation.......
BARBELL CURL 3 SETS 10 REPS SUPERSET WITH-
CLOSE GRIP BENCH PRESS 3 SET 10 REPS
HAMMER CURL 2 SETS 10 REPS SUPERSET WITH-
ANOTHEER TRICEP EXERCISE 2 SETS 10 REPS.
TUESDAY LOWER BODY:
DEADLIFT (X) SETS 10 REPS
CALF RAISE 2 SETS 20 REPS
CRUNCH 1-2 SETS 15 REPS
REVERSE CRUNCH 1-2 SETS 15 REPS
as you can see its a basic routine wih a lot of arm attention, doing it once a week is neccesarily cos i seem to overtrain easily.
but its just a trial which i will adjust as i go along.
im having trouble thinking of good triceps exercises that dont feel awkward to do.im aiming for a big arm increase, as ive had about 17 inch arms before im hoping to tap into some muscle memory, id love to get to 18`s though (i know incredibly strong powerlifters with 18" arms and i also know pretty strong bodybuilderrs with 19" arms) anyways, say i got 3 inchs more arm girth, considering the triceps are about 2/3`s of the upper arm mass i would need to roughly put on 2 inchs just with triceps, leaving the last 1 inch to biceps....
its not that i want an out of proportion shape..i dont but increasing the arms to a good size would boost my confidence and my "respect" while also getting the rest of the body bigger.

If you are really tired and not feeling your workouts keep the intensity but reduced the time. A three hour workout will have you dreading the gym but a one hour workout full of supersets works the same muscles to the same degree plus it is not so time consuming.

i was reading some stuff and was thinking..you know what?
i think im benching with too close a grip...
when i bench i hardly feel my pecs at all and im aware of my arms doing the lions share of the work.
i stated i was going to do 1 set of bench and military press but i may do 2 or 3 actually.
i want to explore this further...
i was bodybuilding, then i stopped training, then i wanted strength, now want a mixture, but i want waaay more strength, its pathetic how weak i am, especially considering ive been doing some form of resistance training on and off for about 9 years!
i dont want to train more frequently than once a week..ive found lose strength like that, however i seem to lose strength training once a week too
i dont know.
i feel like a little puny weak freak compared to my competition
whats the deal with strength?
how am i going to get much stronger?
maybe im just built to be weak
nnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! !!!!!!!!!

its 5:27am sunday morning,
once again i couldnt sleep (even though im realy exhausted)
so i went for a walk/jog just got back.
my nut is still hurting soooo bad, although my lower back did get real pumped and tight and painful on the walk/jog back so it took my mind off it a little.
i really gotta write to that hospital soon!
im very fatigued, i physically need to sleep but the pain along with boredom and stuff on my mind and hunger keeps me awake (though this time on the hunger front...i am prepared i think i`ll cook some chips and eggs..right now....

first off you have beautiful hair!
(im bald as a bastard, i know what you mean abot hating what you see in the mirror, i dont stop cursing myself for the freak i look like, especially my face and hair, damn, i almost stuck a knife in me to make my body bleed for punishment for letting me down DAMN YOU BODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )
ok, this skin condition?
what does it look like?
how does it work?
cos ive noticed some of the skin around my jaw and neck isnt quite right these days...
ive not taken my top off for years, youre not alone
you will tho...eventually you will
f##k the flab, its on borrowed time!
hows your nutrition going?
you eating late at night?
irregular meal patterns?
hows your training experiment going?
come on kid, it will get better,
imho nutrition is the biggest thing regarding condition of body, then training.
(proper sleep is essential at the right times as you know, as i know..but look at me saying this! )
seriously, let us know an average weeks eating habits and talk about your training, whats feeling good? whats not? you getting any knd of schedule?
what about cardio?
remember its got to be realistic too.

You have nothing to worry about with the skin thing, its genetic and passed down the family (me and my dad being the ones having it). Basically its not contageous or anything just parts of my skin the cells reproduce too fast so it flakes off, its mainly the appearence and comments you get off people(I have it a bit between my forearm and bicep, mainly on my back).
I cant afford to eat that great at the moment (it aint too bad though), damn fucking student loan company...I am in debt already thanks to those fuckers. I do sometimes eat late at night but not usually but I do skip breakfast way too often. Irregular meal patterns have been happening due to running out of food when the supermarkets are closed.
The weights have been going good, I am really pleased after losing over a stone of fat. My arms and back look nice and defined now, it just goes to pot a bit towards the hips.
The only cardio at the moment is walking and a lot of it because I was doing my jumping jacks etc and the people in the flat downstairs called security on me for being too loud I didnt fucking call security when they were stamping around pissed singing at 5 in the morning when I had a lecture....some people are just complete wankers. I need to join a gym to do any "Proper" workouts as the equipment I have got doesnt do it for me anymore.

wow im sorry about the assholes downstairs!
what can i say? hypocrit s##theads!
ok, the food thing: i got little money myself, i can only spend a little on food, tell me what kinda money you got to spend on food (only if you want to, nevermind if its personal) and i will give you a list of the kinda things that are cheaper and good foodwise...
again, excellent work on your losing that stone it sounds lke your shaping up.
if you naturally tend to put fat on in a partcular place it`ll often come off of there last, my butt and stomach get it most .
keep training, do some voodoo shit on your neighbours or something and lets talk nutrition, shopping budget and shopping lists ok?

well I have been spending about 20-25 quid on food, It aint that bad my sister is sorting out some money tomorrow and my loan should be through soon and I have got my overdraft. Basically its been shitty microwave crap because its easy and a lot of the time I end up throwing it away because it tastes like crap! I am getting a lot better at cooking, strange how you pick something up quickly when its essential to living.
Could you write up a typical shopping list for your week becuase I end up buying random stuff, I can talk to you on here all night because I cant be bothered to go to 2 lectures on subjects I have already studied at school and I am up to date with the work and tomorrow has higher priorities (sorting out loan and buying books).

ok BEAST,
this isnt an exhaustive list its just a few for starters:
chips: the economy, thick cut straight cut FRY chips, theyre cheapest and the FRY chips have less fat than the OVEN chips, they also taste pretty decent and have less rubbish than most of the other more expensive chips.
something like 60-90p for 2.5kg)
tuna: small tins of tuna (especially economy, but they named brands arent too much more expensive either...) about 185gm`s are handy as the protein of a meal, i personally have a small tin of tuna in the morning as part of my breakfast, its easy, its quick, its high protein and its cheap.
(something like 28-35p a tin)
turkey: turkey is a high protein good meat, most people tend to go for turkey breast..not me though, i get turkey thigh diced cos its cheaper and easier to eat because its not dry like the breast. its easily as good for you aswell which is a bonus (probably better for yu than the breast..humans need some fat to keep healthy hormones)
a 600gm pack (thats 2-3 meals worth, depending if you use 2 or 300 gms per meal) will cost around £1.72
carrots:carrots bought loose or in bags fresh are petty good, they`ll only keep a week or a week and a half though, suggest getting about 1kilo of carrots loose or bagged, for 1kg its around 54 p
greens: ok, broccoli is pretty good, it`ll last you about a week, week and a half too, go for fresh ones with as much head and as little stalk as you can find (the head is much more nutrient dense than the stalk) its about 96pence a kilo., again go for about a kilo.
more greens: ok this is a pretty good one, its called spring greens and its kinda like a long flat looking cannage, its pretty cheap and wil last about a week to a week and a half, go for a pack wih several smaller ones as opposed to one or two bigger ones, for a decent sized pack itll be around 48-55 pence
green cabbage: this is pretty nutrient dense and of the veg it will easily last the longest two to three weeks easy. go for a healthy dark green looking one,
it`ll cost you around 50 p
new potatoes or red potatoes: avoid white potatoes, theye cheaper but theyre much more sugar and not so good, red or new potatoes are a much better choice, for 2.5 kg of new potatoes from asda its about 98 p, for 1.5kg of new potatoes from tesco its about 67 p (a fair portion is around 500gms, so reckon on 1.5 being 3 meals worth.
oranges: valencia oranges are pretty good and at about 20p each theyre relatively cheap too.
frozen veg peas: get a basic economy bag of 1 kg for around 43-50 p
frozen veg, sweetcorn: again, econ sweetcorn 1 kg arond 64-70p
frozen veg spinach: spinach is a little more exoensive i think, around 90-98p
frozen mash: its not real cheap but it is real quick, i get frozen mash, its "aunt bessies" or something, its about £1.34 for a bag with 19 pieces, i cook half a bag ( 9 or 10 pieces ) for 6 mins in the microwave and empty a small tin of tuna onto it in the morning, i have a piece of fruit with it too, its real quick, requires no thinking about and has a bunch of good stuff your bot needs in the morning
beans: if yo eat beans its not a bad little protein carb mix, go for the reduced sugar, reduced salt shops own brand 4 packs, about 82-96 p
sardines: theyre not neccesarily the nicest tasting but they are cheap and not a bad protein source, you can get a very small tin for like 18p at asda
beef: stewing beef is pound for pound probably the cheapest beef, followed by frying steak, stewing beef is around £4 a kg and frying beef stea is £5.29 a kg from tescos, a 400gm pack is £2.15 and will do 2 decent sized meals.
eggs: eggs are a pretty good food at 12.5% protein and full of b vitamins,
and are cheap
ok, i will do some more later (hope this helps) and i will do a sample shopping list for a week showing how it can be broken down to 3 meals a day and a price estimate,...

i cant sleep, i dont do enough to occupy my time, and my mind wont stop.
i was having another stress out about life at the same time this morning in bed trying to sleep i was panicking over dying, it freaks me out majorly but only really gets a real grip on me when im semi-concious early morning wether ive slept or not

ok.
just did my upper body workout, it took around an hour, i had to reduce weights used...
i did however get a big pump from arm supersets.
although things get a little tricky now.....my mind does the "i want to be heavy" "no wait, i want to be slim!"business on me!!
one thing i can agree on is i want to be lean and good definition.
im pretty damn tired, had half my lunch just now and the other half when its cooked.
the new wider grips felt different, im going to continue to experiment with this....

It is where you pretty much take two opposing exercies and do them right after the other. So you would do a set of back rows and then immediately do a set of chest press since they work opposite muscles. The combinations are endless you just need to find what works for you but it can cut the time in the gym in half make you workouts burn more calories and make it more fun to be there. When you go to the next exercise those muscles are resting and recieving a little stretch from working the opposite muscle.
weighted situps / reverse crunches
bicep curls / tricep extensions
chest press / back row
shoulder press / pull ups
leg press / hamcurls
.....
Get the point?

Yea thanks. Looks like im doing supersets in a circuit then. Im trying out a new workout routine. First time doing a circuit for me. I just got home. I felt like a pussy though. Since I didnt remember how much weight I used I had to figure out how much I do so I was doing reps of like 25....Wednesday will hopefully be more accurate though now that I have an idea.

good job
BUT, do you have a small notebook? are you writing down your routine/ exercises? if not i suggest doing so, this way you know what weights and reps your at, if your already doing this then nevermind me

i got my 3 meals today, and half a cake
i feel spaced out, winter time coming again, this is when i sleep even less usually and get pounded by my thoughts, i fell asleep on my futon for about 2 hours this evening, when i woke i was panicking about dying as i have done the last week...
when i was 14 15 16 17 i had the same feelings, i actually dont want to lose the feeling, i feel more alive (but f##king scared) its not as scary if you ignore it, but when you see it for what it is its enourmously disturbing.
wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, omg,omg, omg, omg OMG!!!
i dont want to die
i dont want any of you to die
wtf!!!!???????? im a real emotional person by nature, i feel like im buzzing out of my tiny mind with these thoughts.
its not like its going to go away...any day..any time...wwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
i just want to run around 1,000 miles an hour doing everything and being everywhere.
anyone else get these thoughts and feelings?
like a panic attack of dying, but it doesnt go away.
RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
wtf wtf wtf omg omg omg omg

The reason I don't want to die is that I know that it would hurt my family and friends. Other than that I don't fear death its just another stage in the grand scheme of things. It will come to each and every one of us at one point so all you can do is live your life to the fullest and embrace everyday. If your afraid of death ask your self why. Are you holding on to something that you want to do and haven't? You say I love life I don't want to die. Well thats great I love life too but to live life afraid of death means you are not living but basically existing. Life has a lot to offer if you let it flow and have some fun. Sure take precautions to safeguard yourself, ie avoid drugs eat healthy.... but don't examine every aspect of your life to avoid death because it will find you no matter what. When I draw my last breath I want to know that I enjoyed life and was accomplished and satisfied and then I will go in peace.

Have you tried writing a schedule for yourself and forcing yourself to live by it. Even if you lie there with your eyes shut for eight hours you may think that you are still awake but in reality its just your mind the rest of your body is resting. It is something that I need to do to keep myself on track in uni right now like when to study when to go to sleep and when to chill. But I still try to look to the advantages of each day like who I will see in class or how I will enjoy my workout simple shit. I really try not to brood in the past because there is shit that I can do about it. Also when my life gets real hetic I like to make time to just clear my mind and think about nothing it really helps you get throught those tough times.

Fuck me!
Been very busy again yesterday, still done my workout of course and PE. But I wern't in a very good mood, and I got pissed off with me mum over something. But they don't understand, it's not that I'm pissed off or in a mood with them, they don't know of all the emotions and the crap running through my head, and it's not as if I can just tell them either.
Anyway,
Monday
Barbell Curls
Dips
Barbell Upright Row, Dumbbell Shrugs
Behind the back Barbell Wrist Curls, Dumbbell Wrist curls
Shit man, I ain't even had time to write out a routine, guess I'll have to improvise again tonight until I get one done.
I think all this shit is taking it's toll on my flaccid state, it just ain't hanging how it used too, and how it should be. I did PE last night, but I didn't have the greatest of routines, it was all rush. Hopefully, things will settle down by Wednesday. I need to start on the fucking Kegels too, I just find myself forgetting to do them.
I'm thinking about trying Oldie's Fast Mass next year.

sounds like you got a lot on your mind Shinobi...
you do anything during a day to relax? like stretching for like 10 minutes and then just chillin on your bed listening to tunes or something?
emotions and feelngs are one of the hardest things to express, especially cos theres no words for a lot of them, and especially when it comes to talking to family... get hassled for "being so secretive all the time" by my family.
but i share enough, thats just me.
anyways, i got my training soon tonight, have fun with yours

looking at my body a little while ago i need to:
reduce the water and fat im carrying
somehow narrow my lower back width
if i could lengthen my spine especially lower back by an inch or two thatd help too...from the front or back my torso is too thick.
straighten my shoulders
stretch my shoulders so they stay back
stretch my neck so its straighter
smaller/ flatter waist

Too much bench-pressing (or other chest-exercises) can cause that, work on Your upper back and it should fix the problem.

yes but what?
i do one arm row, i stopped doing shrugs because it wore me out, i wont do rear delt raise because it just grinds my joints.
what is good for upper back and back of shoulders....
i used to do behind the neck presses but i stopped cos dont want to tear my rotator cuffs.

SS, Upright rows will work that area
Went to the gym today for like the first time in two weeks and started my olympic lift routine. While steaily increasing my weight to see where my optimum training level was a gym supervisor came over and told me to stop because there are no Olympic lifts allowed in the gym. I proceeded to plead my case. I asked why and he says so new people don't hurt themselves I told him then WTF is your job there is only 20 of you people here supervising at any time. Then I asked if deadlifts, shrugs, bicep curls, and shoulder presses were allowed in the gym and he said yes, so I asked why I couldn't combine them into one move. He said the explosiveness of the move might hurt someone. WTF is anybody going to get around me while I am in a squat rack lifting weights in a corner of the gym. Plus all the other moves in the gym can be explosive like bench preacher curl free weight stations, gosh damn. Realizing he was just doing his job and was a student also I tried to keep my cool. Filed the protest officially to the student run board (its a campus gym) Shit will change here that is for sure enough with the freaking lame ass excuses give me a real reason not to or let me do it enough of this bullshit.

Next thing you know only Pilates will be allowed in gyms because weights are a freaking liabiltiy to whoever uses them especially beginners. I don't buy it.

hey baseballer8,
yeah, upright rows used to work real good for me but i dropped them cos they also felt bad on my joints
that thing at your gym..thats pretty weird, it must be cos its a uni gym or whatever.
i mean, ive never come across that in the gyms ive worked in
sounds a bit mean of them to me, i think they should let you lift how you want
training going good apart from that?

I don't know where to start now with my routine I had this whole olympic routine planned out perfectly and gave my muscles some time to rest but now that I am not allowed to do that I am not sure where to start. I guess traditional workouts are the way to go but I really want to work on my explosive strength so maybe plyometrics that is if those are allowed anyways. I just don't like the traditional workouts because you only use 50% of your really explosive strength and it can cause limited flexibility. Plus the body is made to work as a unit not in pieces so why train it in pieces.

hmm, is this guy there all the time? anyway of avoiding his shifts?

My back needs to most attention at the moment, I really want to add some thickness to it.
I would do Squats and Deads on the same day, and pretty much call that it. BUT, I hate doing them on the same, and, training my back on a Friday is a no no, but my arms on a Friday, is a big yes yes.

i went to bed at 10pm , i just lay here trying to sleep..no good, got up, really hungry but im not going to eat until im due breakfast at 7am.
i want my body to realise that it shouldnt be awake at these times...
im also trying to let the natura growth hormone kickoff as much as it can even though im not asleep..i want to drop about 5-10ib of fat aswell as grow those 17" arms im aiming for cant wait...
im thinking im going to get pretty strict with my diet.
i want the correct weight and stuff, the only exception is the protein for dinner..that can be variable (minimum regular around 50gm`s worth of protein) as it could come from many sources..fish, mackeral, coley, beef, burger(though i may drop these too ) lean mince beef etc..so its simpler to just try to average minimum 50gm to max 75gm worth of protein.
i did something like this nutrition wise when i was 21 and my waist came right down, i got much leaner and the cuts showed nicer, there wasnt really any fat to grab, i liked it, except that i was a little too small muscular wise, had i had bigger arms and legs etc it would have been better (hence what im trying to achieve now).
i am not trying to starve myself, far from it i am trying to grow, but as i grow hopefully fat will reduce more and more.
if i find along the line that im stuck for growth i will increase my daily calories by maybe 500gms.
i do like carb rich stuff somtimes though..ive decided on my weights training day i can have a piece of cake or something like a treat,sushi or anything like that..ive yet to decide how many calories to allow for this..im thinking possibly 500 cals allowed for this training day reward.
not decided yet...
getting a balance betwen good growth and geting leaner is tricky....
for my 4 scheduled meals i may add more calories if i feel the need..but at night i still wont allow my body to eat.
its 2:17am now, if i sleep or not i intend to go for a jog/walk at 5am.
my blood pressure is too high, (sometimes, especially when ive not slept my eyes just tear up and water a drop or two from the pressure, like at work or at home, made worse when i yawn...i know that the effects of high blod pressure can be permanent even after reducing it so im very eager to get a healthier heart and lungs asap. if this means doing a good bit of cardio 5-7 days a week at around 30-45 mins a go then i will try real hard to..for the sake of what internal health i have left.
insomnia does much damage inside, the heart suffers a lot, i understand heart attacks arent that unexpected.... people in my family have had heart attacks in their mid and early twenties, im 23 i know the score......and everyone whos died has died of a stroke...
anyways, if you think im not doing my cardio please hassle me until i do. i dont want a heart attack or a stroke.
i really should be asleep, but i cant.
oh well.
anyways.
just wanted to update.

My back needs to most attention at the moment, I really want to add some thickness to it.
I would do Squats and Deads on the same day, and pretty much call that it. BUT, I hate doing them on the same, and, training my back on a Friday is a no no, but my arms on a Friday, is a big yes yes.
having done squats for like 7 years on and off and deadlifts for two id have to say your getting pretty much the same effect from both (no-one flame me lol, i know there are differences etc ) all im saying is why not do 1? at least for a few months, then when your stagnating on that lift switch them up?
doing squat AND deadlift is extremley draining for the central nervous system...
the reason i do one wholebody workout a week now even though i hate it is because it gives me 6 whole days of recovering and restoring my cns.
otherwise im tired 24/7 and irritable and fatigued (or at least more-so )
personally i think yu should just pick ONE big lift for each bodypart , at least for now. like one arm row OR bent over row.
deadlift OR squat etc, its not like youd be losing out on anything, afterall stimulus is stimulus as far as the muscles are concerned.
just my opinion though.

I go and just do whatever for that muscle group for that day.
sure, it depends how serious you are or what your goals are at least, whether you want to be slim , muscular and stronger or some huge gym beast is not the point..if you have a goal then its best to getinto a schedule from which you can use as a baselevel to improve and guage your progress.
alternatively, if you dont really have a goal and cant be bothered to follow a routine but just like to go on instinct as and when, then in that case having no routine isnt a problem...it depends on you.

SS, with regards to your sleep issues. What I do is force myself to stay awake during the day, nomatter how tired, then at night it helps put me back on schedule. Your situation I'm sure is a bit more complicated but it may help. It's a matter of conditioning your body (biological clock) to know that 12am is sleep time. This requires a constant routine. Also having the exact same pre-sleep routine will help (ie, set the alarm, wash up, put on your polka-dot PJ's, etc).

yes, sticking rigourosly to a pattern is important in creating a sllep schedule.
but i can force myself awake during the day (and often do) only to end up awake throughout the night aswell, then onto the day and so-on.
being totally without any sleep for 7 days straight followed by a brief 4 hours and then doing it all over again for many months was not uncommon. it was very dangerous for me and has affected my health. i didnt choose that to happen, it just did. so you see, while useful it will only do so much...
however my average now it 2-3 days awake followed by 4-8 hours of sllep, then repeated.
my body actyually needs around 9 hours sleep every night. so as you can understand the sleeping problems are literally kiling me
not to sound melodramatic but its true.
if i dont get this thing tamed and in order really soon i will be dead before im 30. simple as. and if i manage to cure it in a few years the damage would still have been done. damage has been done already, i am very tired now, my face is burning and stuff but i cannot sleep.
it is a nightmare.
and the longer it goes on the worse i get.
my sleeping pattern is extremley fragile,.
evenm when i manage to sleep eveeryday for 6 or 7 days straight if i know ive got to be somewhere the next morning or im expecting a delivery or anything like that i wont be able to sleep...
i feel like shit.
after my 5am run today ina couple of hours i gotta get ready and go out cos i got a lot of work to do and have a log assed day. if i didnt id try to nap anytime..for the sake of my health.
i think lack of a set pattern of work is contributing to this greatly.
but having a 9-5 job would be tricky cos id be unable to sleep..its a catch22 situation
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
perhaps 10 pm to bed and 5-7 am up, not sure about timings yet, if i sleep after eating to long i`ll get hungry which will jkeep me awake...all night.
i am going to try extremley hard to sleep and create a schedule to sleep and wind down etc.
perhaops i WILL ADD that fruit and 3 eggs before bed...
anyways, thanks for your concern bro, but fighting this is really hard.

this is a reminder to me for later:
cardio.
aims:
stronger heart, more power.
less heart beats per minute.
low and strong resting heart rate.
increased use of lung capacity.
lower blood pressure.
increased lung efficiency.
increased cappilirisation.
increased stamina and output.
objective..do some number crunching.
also advise purchasing a good heart rate moniter watch.
i dont want to die from this, get me healthy!
consistency.
pushing harder.

more notes to myself:
work at 70-80% of max heart rate for cardiovascular health improvement.

well luke yes there are.
i have high blood pressure too.
its real dangerous, not helped by the insomnia.
it will take a good number of weeks to get the full effects luke.
there are many variables too.
if you really want to work on this itll need some questions and details..

Damn I feel good. I found a small gym that relativly few people go to on campus and was able to do my clean and presses and wow I am hyped right now. What a great full body workout. The guy twice my size almost dropped his jaw when he saw me clean and press the weight he was struggling with in his squat.

hey kid,
you didnt eat ALL day until dinnertime?
thats a good way to get ill...
whats the deal bro? was it a one off or is your meal organisation proving difficult to organise and/or follow?
3 meals as standard. 5 if you can do it. but 3 as a defualt.
what gives?

I do like the course, just 9-5 on a friday is pretty hard going with 2 hours of programming included. I will survive, I am going to get a weeks worth of shopping delivered so I have no excuses to miss my meals. I used to do it all the time which is probably why I found it hard to lose weight because my metabolism is so low.

Well my workout schedule is now screwed up as to I broke my right thumb yesterday in my tennis match (I tripped over my cock ). I guess its back to sprints and leg exercises so I can support my going to be scrawny upperbody. Damn I am right handed so notes will be hard to take and well you know.

the pics in `post pics, whatever` thread?
um, my arms are small.. it depends how you measure, flexed or straight (cold). i always measure straight and cold but it seems most guys measure flexed.
either way its too little to want to say..
but im working on it.

It's ok, Clockers!
I meant, that even when I take some time off the gym, my muscles don't turn to fat at all... That's great! Although even when I'm off, I always exercise at home doing push ups, abs, jogging... My metabolism is too fast so it burns more calories than ever... I think that's the reason why.

yeah! i know what you mean my metabolism is fast aswell but when i went to the gym not anymore but when i did i was bulking up for about 1 a year
but i was taking protein drinks at the time but then for about a month or so maybe 6 weeks with no working out at all i just got board with it and it started to turn to flab i was like WTF so i went on a small diet for a week and lost 10 bls..and started exercises maybe it was cause i was drinking protein shakes and eating alot to get big fast which it was working..

Your muscles don't 'turn' to fat. Same way you can't 'turn' fat into muscle.

still aiming for 17 inch guns.
ive altered my training a little im doing mon/tue split training. monday upper body, tuesday lower body, then rest a week and repeat the following week.
All of me needs more meat (except my waist lol) BUT my arms and shoulders are in need of bringing up especially, so i start with military press now instead of bench press.

I'm going to be starting a weights routine soon, but it'll be more of a powerlifting style routine than a bodybuilding one (strength is my priority, but with some mass) to build me up for starting Muay Thai some time soon.

sounds good, ok youre in
feel free to write stuff about your training (it doesnt matter what training..bodybuilding, powerlifting, sprinting, just toning up ect...).
Also, let us know about the muay thai.
CLOCKERS, why you doing situps everyday man? why not just do 2x a week?
How have you gotten lazy on your push ups and curls? whats your routine now, frequency, sets, reps, ect?
why are you slipping on this? perhaps you need a change of routine, a little tweak to make it more do-able?
ss
*SS new routine*
MONDAY:
MILITARY PRESS 2X5
ONE ARM ROW 1X5
INCLINE BENCH PRESS 1X5
E-Z BAR CURL 2X5
CLOSER GRIP BENCH PRESS 2X5
SHRUGS 1 OR 2X10
TUESDAY:
DEADLIFT 1 OR 2X10
BENT LEG STIFF LEG DEADLIFT 1 OR 2 X10
CALF RAISE 1 OR 2 X 15
CRUNCH SITUP 1 X 25

Ok,ok I will admit i have a little pop belly..
And i don't like it at all..
So i've been doing set ups everyday to get red of it and i've been trying to do the push ups/curls evryday aswell not to bulk right now but to strengthen up some and tone in some muscle.
I just got to get some more "MOTTO" back.

Right, I may be a newbie to PE but I've read a lot about about exercise and weight lifting and I can tell you now that there is no such thing as spot reducing (i.e. doing sit-ups won't get rid of fat on your stomach). Basically you need to improve your diet, drink more water and start doing some good cardio (e.g. running, cycling or whatever).
Plus doing exercise everyday is pretty bad and can lead to overtraining, that is provided the exercise is actually challenging. Either way, it sounds like what you're doing at the moment will do very little if anything for you in truth...

Yes sir, T-Pro is making regular appearances at the gym.
He will take a more concentrated focus when Summer hits ~ with supplement intake and higher quality foods.

CLOCKERS, why you doing situps everyday man? why not just do 2x a week?
How have you gotten lazy on your push ups and curls? whats your routine now,
Ok,ok I will admit i have a little pop belly..
And i don't like it at all..
So i've been doing set ups everyday to get red of it and i've been trying to do the push ups/curls evryday aswell not to bulk right now but to strengthen up some and tone in some muscle.
I just got to get some more "MOTTO" back.
hmm, well im sure that would work to some degree but i still think less frequency.
why not do all these exercises 2x a week? like monday and thursday? i mean, youll tone up somewhat from your routine as it is but your not going to get much stronger six pack by doing it everyday, at most id say do abs 3x a week..at most.
i know youre just trying to tone but toning still needs to be done a little less often.

Excellent, so is T-pro currently keeping the rhythm going on a lower level until summer hits when he`s going to crank it up somewhat?

true, true.
But a pot belly is more of a structural thing i think, usually from narrow hips, it needs tightening, however the plus side of people with pot bellies is that once flattened they can have great shape.
Personally my hips and waist is a little too wide for that .

so , its 2:21 am, sunday morning, im hungry so im eating some fried eggs, chest pains. very tired, very very achy are my muscles and my joints as always it seems :x
so, im thinking that im getting sicker everyday, i always put cardio off and i dont even lift properly, and i get so exhausted from lifting that i normally get sick after every time i lift.
so, its not likely that i`ll manage this, but i will TRY to try.. maybe. if i feel like it.
i dont have money to go to a gym, so best cardio is probably fast walking and jogging the streets..i am very self concious, so 5am is a less self concious time for me to jog/ fast walk on the streets.
(so far this has failed and ive not managed more than 1-2 weeks doing cardio at 5-6am, i am eitheer still awake by then having not slept yet or ive just fallen asleep and in no mood to run out into the cold with a tired aching body.
however, i am not confident enough to jog during "people" hours and have no other plan yet.
i was also thinking of trying to eat 3x a day, 7am, 12pm, and 6pm.
i eat practically no veg and very little fruit, i need to fix that.
i am a lazy idiot with my life and my time. i could use my time a million times better instead of pissing my time down the drain.
so heres A plan (im not saying im going to do it, im not saying its the final one or that im even going to attempt it, its just that without a plan, any plan i WILL do nothing.
5:00am: alarm goes off :AWAKE
5:01am: get dressed in walking/jogging clothes
5:04am: have bcaa/ l-g 5gm each, have a piece of fruit
5:05am: leave the flat
5:06am-5:30am: fast walk/ jog various routes
5:30am get back in the flat, lock door, drink water
5:35am get changed, wash/shower
5:45am (if mon/wed/fri do 150 WJ pe) *if i return to pe
6:00am: dry , get changed again
6:10am eat 2nd piece of fruit
6:10am-7am: study, language books, pdf files on stuff that interests me, ect
*6:40am put turkey on to simmer
7:00am stop study, have cereal and vits/ mins
7:10am have turkey with a further 1 or 2? pieces fruit.
7:30 done with breakfast
7:30-8am preview the day, what do you want to do/ go?
(its just a made up thing, ive never actually tried that although i tried something similar a few times-worked ok but after 2-3 days i was too tired to get up. always happens.)
the reason for the attention to minutes is that I WILL WASTE TIME. and infact i will manage to do absolutley NOTHING with my day, day after day after day. year after year. so those minutes when used before actually made me focus and keep on my toes and gave me some productive days.
however i slip when i try eventually back into late late nights and wasted days and bad eating, or non eating.
hmm.
ss
2:45am if i start today that means ive got to go out in 2 hrs 15 mins :x soooo sleepy and tired and achy...
however if i put it off then i`ll be in the same position the next day, and the next as always.

If you want big arms, go get yourself a biceps curl bar (slightly zig-zagged bar) and a triceps curl bar (kind of square shape) and sufficient weights to challenge your self. Use 'em and you will get resuls, but, USE PROPER FORM! no swinging of weights/arching of body.
Also try pull-ups with a semi pronated grip ( palms parallel infront of you, facing each other)
good luck

Buy a couple of heavy plates but also alot of lighter plates. So you can add a light plate each week. Training a whole year with the same weight wont work very good.

And i feel better about myself aswell, now when i take my shirt off i see something/shape taking form and to me thats a good thing. Well anyways i feel stronger i found myself lifting 60 to 75 pound labels at work alot easier since i lift them bitches alot, :shock:
so now my chest,biceps,triceps,shoulder's,legs,forearms are looking great, but my 6 pack abs are not there just yet. :x 'Why not' i've been working them like a dog where the hell are they them son'a'bitches.. :x :evil:

how often you working abs? try 2x a week-working them everyday will make the abs flatter through stamina training and therefore they wont really show up. its a common misconception that abs need to be worked everyday, i had my best abs working them 2x a week at most.
good luck, keep us poted,

I havent really got any goals, just to 'look good', so probably a bit more muscle then toning.
Valk ive got the adjustable weights but they only go up to 10's so i gave up with them. I do 14's down the gym.
Basically now, im just doing press ups and sit ups at home and go to the gym once a week. (Though ive missed the past two week cos it was my birthday and i got drunk off my face which isnt good for my abs :( )
SS, as for training at home with only a pair of 10kg dumbells which can be adjusted to various weights less, i havent got a clue for a routine. If you could help me out with some exercises and a schedule thatd be great but with limited resouces i dont expect miricales :D
soserious
25th April 2005, 10:22 PM
uh-huh Shane, yeah i see.
well, like you said youre looking for a reasonable balanced toned shape yeah?
thats pretty realistic for most people.
(also im assuming you dont have any injuies or physical problems which may restrict you in any way in training? correct me if im wrong*)
so tell me,
what equipment is at the gym?
what day/s are you happy to workout on?
do you have any injuries or problems which might affect training?
can you get/have a pullup bar in your/a door at home? argos, under £7
then, based on this i`ll give you an option or two in terms of basic routines, and depending on youre thoughts we may tweak it: then you start it and report back with youre findings and thoughts ect.
also, its cool to drop training for a week or two during youre birthday, hell i ate so much on my 20th (or 21st?..getin old cant rmember..) but hell, life is for the living ;)
ss
Shane_Bos
25th April 2005, 10:35 PM
Equipment at the gym is fairly basic, you have the bench press, shoulder press, butterfly machine, chest press, one for leg extensions, one for leg curls (even though im not really bothered about my legs as theyre already a nice size due to my youthful footballing days). There's loads of different weighted dumbells too. Oh and a medicine ball and those funny sit-up frame things that i use.
I'll work out whatever days i can be bothered really, at home that is (if you can call it a workout), and go to the gym on a Monday usualy.
No injuries to date, well, a minor footballing injury in my knee that causes me trouble about 1 week out of the 52 in a year but nothing serious at all.
And finally, i was going to get a pull-up bar but never got around to it. May do though, cheers.
Shane.

No, they're well chunky, heavy plastic weights and the bars too small to fit anymore on. I should probably invest in some better ones.
soserious
25th April 2005, 11:00 PM
ok Shane,
lets see what we can see..
since youre main workout day is monday (like mine :mrgreen ) we`ll start with that.
MONDAY:
at the gym
warmup for 5 minutes on a cardio machine (assuming they got one) if not then let me know.
mild stretches 10-30 seconds each
bench press 2 sets 10 reps
bicep curl (you choose the exercise) 2 sets 10 reps
shoulder press (dumbells or barbells) 2 sets 10 reps
abs crunch/situp 2 sets 15-25 reps (continuos tension/ dont rest between reps)
[note: i also want to add some legs here too but i think leg ext/ legt curl may be a waste of time in efficiency for what you want, im thinking maybe deadlifts or lunges if only to maintain your leg tone, however im also aware that your knee very occassionally gives you trouble, so let me know your thoughts on this and we`ll work something out]
stretches: 30-60 seconds each, ease into them and be gentle and calm.
go home, have a meal.
THURSDAYS
at home
stretch gently 20 seconds each
push ups: 1 set, as many as you can properly do (note how many you did/do)
pull ups: 2 sets as many as you can properly do (note how many you did/do)
abs-crunch/situp: 1 set 15-25 reps same as monday, continuous tension
stretches again 30-60 second each
have a meal.
this is by no means final. but it can be what you need.
no need to absolutley kill yourself with effort atall, ideally push yourself but not ott.
legs would be 1x a week, as would back.
biceps get ht 2x once on monday directly once on thursday with back.
shoulders 1x a week, chest for weights 1x a week and another time with pushups for the tone and shape.
keep it simple.
so to recap
MON:
BENCH PRESS 2X10
BICEPS 2X10
SHOULDER PRESS 2X10
*LEGS*
ABS 2X 15-25
THU:
PUSHUP: 1 SET
PULLUPS: 1 SET
ABS: 1 SET
thoughts questions?
ss
Shane_Bos
25th April 2005, 11:17 PM
Cheers SS, the Monday workout is similar to what i do in the gym usualy only i often vary it from week to week which is probably not such a good idea.
My knees fine really, wasnt too much point in actually listing t as an injury but if my leg falls off i'll let you know.
Apart from the not having a pull-up bar as of yet, everything seems cool except im thiking of adding some side srunches in to tone my obliques, just one set of 15 - 20 on each side for now, yes?
Cheers again SS, i'll let you know how im getting on later in the week :D
Valk
25th April 2005, 11:26 PM
I think the key to success is to keep a log for the amount of weight you lifted and the number of reps. That way you can make sure that you increase either the number of reps or the amount of weight each workout.
The body adapts to stress and if you dont progressively overload your body, growth will not happen. Or not as fast.
But you probably know this already.

If it's anything like mine...... just about everything.
Except it's crap at heavy leg work. Can't do squats or deadlift, so a barbell is needed.
Valk
26th April 2005, 05:41 PM
Free weights still rule though. You can do every important exercise with them. Except maybe leg curls, leg extensions and lat pulldowns (for the pussies who cant do pull-ups)

I use free weights as much as possible, good for muscle coordination.
Valk
26th April 2005, 05:53 PM
I even prefer dumbells of barbells for muscle coordination.
Another reason is that I train alone and dont wanna get squashed by a barbell while doing heavy bench presses.

Same here. With barbell I never use the locks so I can slide the weights off the bar if I can't get it up. Never happened, I never put on too much weight if training alone.
Spike
26th April 2005, 06:42 PM
Of course.
When you (meaning me) have a machine, dumbells, barbells, EZ-bar and tricep bar and some weights, then there's nothing that can't be done, and a load of variation to keep things interesting.
One's not better than the other - they compliment each other.
The most important thing, whatever you've (I've) got is....... to actually use them.
Bobo

An Onion and a small potato are standard, but you can add/leave out stuff.
The tomato would be OK without the onion (you'd never guess one was in there)
Piss easy & cheap to make. Make a pan full, it'll keep in a fridge for 3 days (microwave a bowlful when you're hungry) or freeze the stuff for later.

i went for a jog/walk today 5:30-6am, didnt sleep the night before..still working on that :x slept this morning till lunchtime though (at this stage its more dangerous for me to be awake too long, eyes feeling like theyre poppin out my head, overheating and unable top cool down blah...i overheat real easy :? )
so anyways, i walked the first part-then jogged and intended to carryon jogging further than i did which was verry short, but my stupid lower back/spinal extensors pumped up hard and made my back stiff and slow and painful :x . i been contemplating just dropping to the floor, laying opn my back and pulling my knee/s up to stretch it but im not sure how healthy it is to be laying on my back on the street.
was feelig thye pain inmy back-pissed me off cos i NEED to jog, i need to make my heart and lungs WORK. but seeing a few people at that time on the streets trying to look bad ass made me have to pretend i was more badass and wasnt in any pain from my low back :roll: :x

so 4am, cant sleep. going for a jog/walk at 5am i guess. (im still working on um, that thing, woerd? word is schedule, yeah. i think maybe m-f cardio 30 mins 5am. then sat sun lie in. but that depends on sleep, i still have terrible sleep problems.
so im walking down my road..its crowded with chelsea fans pouring out of pubs after chelsea winning HOOYA!! C`MON CHELSEA! and this dude was walking up he opposite way-never seen him before, about average height but very good balance and proportion of muscle and was one big fucker..but dint look ott in the gut or nuthin, a true bodybuilder shape, arms 18? 20? big, THAT is exactly what i want for me. im puny, like 11st/ 160lbs and 14 or so arms :( i mightve stopped the guy and ask him advice and stuff but he might have misinterpreted me. ovcourse i was walking like "yeah? so youre 3x bigger than me? so what im billy bad ass.. i STILL mke you move" lol, im stupid sometimes , even shit like that i cant help but try to show im not afraid-even when i get messed up for it. *shrugs*
but to be honest he didnt have an attitude or nuthin , i was just jeleous.
so it got me thinking about stuff.
i decided when i was younger that id take steroids if i wanted to, then as i got older i decided i would never , now im thinking about it (not that i could afford it) but still, if i could get what he had in like a year.....
so tempting.

My health status: Not too good.
I go clubbing atleast once a week and drink way too much and often smoke when drinking :( and the only exercise i do is when i go to the gym once a week. Erm... i sleep an average amount and eat an average amount though what i eat is not too healthy as im usualy out so ill buy something instead of eating healthily at home.
I suppose as far as general health goes im sort of at a stale mate where my efforts to get healthy are balanced by my disregard for everything bad for me. This wont hinder my muscle growth but will make it a bit more difficult to get toned i suppose. :?

2nd May 2005, 03:39 AM
well its 4:31am uk time, i not slept, probably wont either (though im so tired and feel weak ) i didnt go for a jog yesterday, in about half an hour i intend to..i may drop and stretch my low back on the pavemwent if i need to, when it pumps up it HURTS. i guess it pumps up so fast cos its very unfit. when i was big my low back was pretty thick and itd overpower my weak abs and really strain my spine-that hurt oo. so im aware its something i gotta watch, although these days those two columns of muscles are just nothing, flat.
im weak from no sleep so my body feels like a deadweight and face is burning, but i shoulda slept. i didnt even try. dunno why. chest pains too. but i GOTTA do cardio.
im thinking mybe MON/TUE/WED/THU/FRI 30 minutes of jogging/fast walking at 5-5:30am. saturday and sunday off.
i have full body weights workout on monday too, it means im a little weaker and it really takes it out of me but i feel the less consecutive days i work out the better. so 1day is what im trying.
hungry too, im still trying to hit 3 meals a day, and at 7am, 12pm, and 6/7pm. right now im getting neither 3 meals or those times. sux.
but ill try try again.
i dont have enough for groceries this week or next so i will mostly be using up the stuff i already have, no biggie.
i also have loads of housework to do still, gonna be a few weeks. somehow my place always seems either totally tidy or a total wreck like as if its been ransacked. right now its a wreck.

mostly net or video games or tv.. thwe thing about being awakle but real tired is i got not much energy for other stuff.
sux.
so sad and pathetic i know. kil me.
i dare ya`ll. please.
so anyway, yesterdays jog/walk was ok. it was raining as i was out at about 5:10-47am. back was hurting a lot. didnt drop on the wet floor..i would, im not afraid of water. but the realisation of how many dogs shit ON the pacvement (as opposed to the gutter) kinda messed with my plans. i know they got bugs in their shit that can survive 4 years after the shits gone and they can make you blind(or so i believe, something like that).
i was so tired i fell asleep adfter for a few hours DAMNIT!! SLEEP AT NIGHT NOT DURING THE DAY!! 1:29am and im awake but tired.. pretty bad chest pains. diet totally screwed again.
i am very sensetive to sleep disturbances: KNOWING i gotta jog /walk at 5am is kinda keeping me awake.
i seem to stress until everything is done and then collapse exhausted. but often things dont finish.
mouths really dry..fuckin toothpasste WHATS THE POINT OF IT DRYING MY MOUTH SO I GET THIRSTY FOR HOURS AND CANT SLEEP??! :x :x
had training today, skipped some wexercises , will do another day.
i want to sleep right now but im very thirsty constantly from the toothpaste and im very hot cos i overheat really easily and cant seem to contrl my temperature very well.
also knowing i gota run in 3 1/2 hours is keeping me awake. DAMNIT!!
gtta cut my hair 2x a week- everytime i look in th mirrorv without a hat i look like im 50 or something. frikkin UGLY hair. lack of.

If you kicked your training up a notch but still didnt eat enough, you could actually have an decrease in muscle mass. If your body doesnt get enough fuel it will start eating away your muscles.
soserious
3rd May 2005, 09:50 PM
yes, i grew LOADS of muscle over the years but my body ate it all! :evil:
so im stil puny.
but yeah, i`ll maybe force feed myself until im sick! :twisted:
but i dont wanna get fat, i want more definition. if i eat few carbs though i`kll not grow. hmm.
perhaps i should do the BORING thing and eat like 5-6 times a day for the next 5 weeks (though that is very tiresome) i used to eat 4-6 (averaghe 5) x a day and everyday. it was a long boring time but i grew.
but 5 weeks? can i bump them up an inch and a half? :twisted:
logically not but perhaps i should go for this short term goal.
OK Y`ALL. let me see what i can see.
(unfortunatly im never settled on a workout schedule, i cant find whats "right") i trained on monday, im due to train tomorrow arms and chest and abs again.. is it too much and will shrink me? is it just right? who knows.since my body responds different at different times i dunno.
heavy single rep curls and bi tri combos seem to do ok.
but my mass is too low-in my torso, looks wrong, i need to raise t up by bringing up my ARMS, DELTS , TRAPS. in a BIG way.
but its hard to get my body to do it.

3rd May 2005, 09:57 PM
You said that you had big arms before so that means muscle memory comes into play.
That makes gains alot faster.
You must also force yourself to go heavier each time.
Maybe you could try a weight gainer or something.

I've been training for years and years too.
Nothing serious though, but still.
Those 20 kg was a week ago.
Tommorow is the next shoulder/chest day.
I do so many reps because I find
benchpressses very uncomfertable.
I think I might switch to incline presses.
I think it will be better for my upper chest too.

actually i do incline presses, its only a slight incline but i havent done FLAT bench presses for several years now.
maybe inclines would be better for you yeah.
actually im not THAT stoked, i got some frikkin skin problem that i dunno what it is still, fuckin doctors just ignore me :x my skin is also VERY thick, so i always seem to look blocky or fat or something. its hard for me to get any decent definition.
generally i guess i look like a truckdriver- with the stubble and *untidy* looking face and body too. im just not put together very pleasingly overall.
but it was nice to get that 100kg after years of 95 97.5 95 92 96 97.5 95 bleh....

hmm, well clubbing once a week sounds pretty cool. i need to go clubbing again one day. :(
so explain, what do you mean, whats your problems if any right now?
sounds like its all fairly reasonable.
Well, its like i balance my hard work with a bad lifestyle. Like bad eating and drinking habits etc. So i'll never get rid of that stubborn layer of fat on top of my six pack and quite often, i'll be too tired or hungover to do anything about it. Im sure im just complaining like a little girl and you should slap me and tell me to shut up but i often feel im fighting a loosing battle when it comes to toning and bulking but i cant be arsed to do anything about it.

Ok, ive been speaking to a couple of people who are fairly bulky and excercise often and they have reccomended creatine. Ive heard of it before but always assumed it was bad news so i stayed away but it seems the only people i have found that tell me to stay away havent tried it themselves and say its bad news for the same reasons i had done in the past. Can anyone help me out here? I know i have to work hard too, but if im spending money on this shit then the motivation will be there.
soserious
4th May 2005, 03:30 PM
Shane,
i see where youre coming from from youre last 2 posts.
hmm, firstly creatn isn some magic elixir and it wont really help you with a 6 pack- if anything it blurs some definition because it attracts water to your muscles and under skin. its more for strength stuff, but ive aken it before, i dunno. one time it helped me get stronger and bigger, another time it did nothing. this was years ago though.
if you want to just live life and have fun and not get too stressed about some gut fat then hell, go for it.
i have had a 6 pack like twice in the last um, 3-4 years. and only for a couple months at a time, for me an for many others it is just a big pain to get and to hold on to. but getting in reasonable shape shouldnt be a chore, but you sound like youre already in reasonable shape.
i dunno man, its really up to you. you think it through, you decide what you want and make that commitment wihin yourself if youre prepared and desire to go through with it.
imho, apart from good ab work 2x a week (on average) the other thing is obviously nutrition as you know.
alcahol may or may not affect you a lot, for me it has a very strong effect on me straigfht away- the following day i will be puffy and bloated blah..
i dont drink at all though these days.
but im saying if drink affects you as much then drink less if you want it.
but to be honest i seen guys who are looking "perfect" but theyre lives are as boring as mine :( better to be "pretty good" and have a more fun exciting life imo.
so tell us Shane, what do you want in life regarding your body and your social life?
to me it sounds more like a path issue, like if you knew exactly what to do and how to do it AND made up your mind too with some motivation (longterm motivation) you would go for it.
but maybe it seems like such a hassle that you totally put it off.
(heh, story of my life.. QUIT STANdING ON ONE LEG SS!! *bobo`s quote*)

You're right SS, i want the body but im cant be arsed to work 'hard' for it. I would be prepared to work an average amount as i am in alright shape and im not prepared to alter my lifestyle cos i really like my life and the way its going now. I have periods when i think to myself, 'right its time to get buff' and i do for a couple of months atleast but then i give up. These bursts of motivation do help my bodies state as i used to be really skinny about 2 years ago (5"11 weighing in at 9 stone :shock: ) but now im 11 stone.
I guess my real question that you've helped to uncover is, is there anyway to get bigger, faster, in one of these 2 month bursts? Like, will taking creatine for 2 months while working out and eating well do me any good or will it be a waste of money?

11 st @ 5`11. sounds like a healthy ratio. but you did well from 9 stone for sure!
i see what youre saying.
as far as the creatine goes for bigger and stronger (as opposed to ripped) could help. up to you though.
if you do take creatine for a month or whatever then be sue to drink a lot more water than normal or you may find yourself geting dehydrated and dizzy alot easier than you otherwse would.
i think you will have to work hard.
i dont think you have to work had for long. what aboyt 1 or 2 days a week (each muscle hit just 1x a week?)
(im sure you got a routine im just saying this as an example:
like you mght do:
deadlift
incline bench
pullup or chins
military press
abs.
and like 1-2 sets each max.
advantage is thats an abbeviated (and potentially VERY productive workout in terms of size and strength imho)
infact if i was starting out id do just that, but im emotionally attatched to curl, but if you chin hard thats biceps done there, ect.
the point is to do fw exercises forshort duration 1x a week but work hard trying to move moe weight.
as for food- worry about that later. better to (initiallty) incorporate foods that you know you do need as opposed to cutting out ones that you dont.
ok: did do cardio this morning for 25 mins. some fast walking and some jogging. was ok exccept the realy exhaustion (still need sleep... soon..)
breakfast was nearly spot on, lunch and dinner were out..no good.
so diet was off tioday, ate very little protein and cals overall.. damnit.
bad bad heartburn (from not sleeping).

http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/soserious/abs.JPG
soserious
8th May 2005, 10:35 PM
que?
"hips and pelvis `V`"?
Rectus abdominis (6 pack muscles) outer obliques (at the sides and a bit at the front/back between the ribs and pelvis)
quad origin ect. about 4 or 5 different major muscles i would say.
why, whats up?
when im lean* or leanish* those lines just show up-i dont do nothing for them. i would say a simple crunch for the abs and deadlift or something would do it combined (for me) but everyones different. i dont have that right now cos im carrying some fat padding :x

Ok, Ive decided to buy some creatine but i wont start using it until after my exams which finish June 28th. I dont want to get dehydrated during an exam. I read a statistic the other day which said 2% dehydration can lead to a 12% decrease in concentration. This was on the side of a water bottle so theres a bit of a vested interest there but still, there must be some truth in it, and i do feel a bit more energetic when properly tanked up on something other than beer :D

Not too bad but i might not visit here too much over the next month or two but after that i'll be back and i'll start working out and start back PE'ing.

Ok, I have (another) problem.
This is what I look like from the side.
http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/valk/Glutes.jpg
I would like to make the part of the hamstrings where the thick black arrow points to more wider. So that, from the side, my ass looks smaller compared to my upper leg.
Anyone know what muscle I have to train for that?
soserious
10th May 2005, 02:21 PM
yeah sure bro: your hamstrings.
my legs are currently puny, but they used to be big, had pretty big hamstrings too.
i used to do bent leg stiff leg deadlift to get the hams thick and deep (making the glutes look smaller and giving a good shape).
its a tricky exercise to get right though and sloppily / overenthusiastically done has a high risk of injury. i done i would suggest higher reps and lower weight. 10 reps as a minimum, more like 15.
its a bit complex for me to explain in words here, let me see if i can find a good link for ya.
(im currently starting BLSLD again cos my ham,strings are non-exisant and i KNOW thy can be big..must EAT..)
other than BLSLD (bent leg stiff leg deadlift) theres hamstring curls,but you need machines for that.
theres also a lying down on your front version where you `curl` a dumbell using your hamstrings and feet, but ive never really played with that one.
(edit there all the hamstrings, they originate* past the arrow and insert behind the knee on the lower leg bones tibia/fibula, so working them all together is what i meant by `sure, hamstrings`. though the 3 main hamstring muscles are semitendinosis, biceps femoris and semifibrosis? (dude i forget.. bad really i should know ince its my job) but yeah, youl work all 3 anyway and itll all get thicker and deeper from back of knee to under the glutes.)
ss
soserious
10th May 2005, 02:30 PM
stiff leg deadlift (http://www.css.edu/students/exphys/videofiles/Stifflegged_deadlift.html)
thats basically it, but i use a different version where my knees are slightly bent and locked, (to reduce knee stress) and i only go down to shins. oh and personally i would say hes letting the bar drift too far forward-it should imo be almost touching your legs and close to your body from start to finish to keep the plane of weight/stress safer andmore productive.
let me see if i can find ronnie coleman doing them: hes hamstrings work and you can see whats going on cos hes so cut and large.
that dude has pretty much the same nasty hair as i do :cry:
let me see if i can find and add a couple more options here.
ss
Valk
10th May 2005, 02:44 PM
Thanks bud dy
I'm also doing semi-stiffed deadlifts. At least, if thats the same as a Romanian deadlift.
The reason why I asked is mainly this: How will my hamstrings grow?
Like this:
http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/valk/Glutes2.jpg
or like this?
http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/valk/Glutes3.jpg
The first pic, doesnt make your glutes look smaller,
only the hamstrings look bigger.
soserious
10th May 2005, 02:59 PM
they will grow more like the 2nd pic since the origin point of the hamstring muscles lie underneath youre glutes.
edit.
having some glute size isnt that big of a deal imo, it can be used to advantage since it makes your waist appear smaller.
ive been a big heavy muscled dude and a kinda scrawny dude, and the hips/glutes varied by about 6-7 inchs. i gotta say since my hips dropped down to 36/37" most of my trousers are constantly falling off my hips unless i belt tight-but thats uncomfortable.
i am skinny again cos i havent been eating. its so freakin pissin me off seeing 1 yr training guys get big and way bigger than me and im always struggling to hold onto the little i have.
maybe i should just go live in a supermarket and come out at night to eat whatever i find. mwuahahaaa.
but then id be hungry during the day :x i crashed at a friends over the weekend, him and hes gf cooked dinner..DAMN it was so good tasting. im too lazy to cook like that. if i cooked like that id always be cooking like the old days-aways in the kitchen-always eating. it worked..but i cant go through that again.
besides being sensetive to my energy levels when im hungry i need to eat right then..not wait an hour and a half or even 20 minuts. when im hungry i gotta eat THEN. or im sick and exhausted for he whole day.
sux.
so anyway yeah, good size glutes can be advantageous for looking strong and appearing to have a smaller waist.

the origin is whre the muscle originates-the attatchment / insertion point is where it inserts/attatches. basically. heh. im not actually sure really i think its just a way of labelling everything with front to back side to side type stuff. could be that the muscle is thicker at one end perhaps or stronger (the origin point) and yes, the `origin` point(s) are at the top end on he pelvis.

so anyway, training was not on yesterday or today *damnit! just when my bench was improving!* i got a cold from someone on saturday and feelin pretty rough still. eyes feel like theyre poppin out my skull, and all the rest.
so nothing this week. i shall have to see about next week. no cardio done since friday... i must keep that up.
im really tempted to get some junk food tomorrow.. swiss? jam roll and vanilla icecream sound real good.... i dont eat a lot of stuff cos it gives me spots or makes me fat.. but still, im really tempted. ive been undereating for a while althougfh im undermuscled and carrying higher fat- my legs , glutes and lower back are especially `flat` and fat. GRRR. .. i could always do squats again with deadlifts.. but they tend to give a lot of glute muscle/mass. hmmm.
perhaps i will do a light set of squats today or tomorrow (i know im ill..but damn, my legs suck and low back sux too!)
swiss roll and icecream..i am eating a tin of peach halves right now, straight out the tin. not bad. gotta have savoury stuff tho too..
hmmmmm
hmmmmm
to be cut? or to be fatter but bigger? is this the question?
well, i dunno. seeing what ive got coming up next month i dunno if it mighht be an advantage to have enough meat on me. hence why im so pissed about missing this weeks workout-itll put me behind on a very tight schedule, also improving my cardio is essential and time is running out. so i expect i MUST do cardio tomorrow.. hell, maybe , maybe.i`ll go for a light jog or walk tonight?
i dunno.

Studyings going ok, gona do some maths after dinner for an hour or so. All i need to revise is maths really.
I know what you mean about the exercises. I used to (well, sorta still do) have a pigeon chest but ive been doing push ups for a month or so and its getting better.
Have you stopped training altogether since this cold. Maybe the break will do you good. Once your better you'll be fresh with no stabbing pains. Then you can thrash the shit out of the machines that tell you that you cant bench press twice your body weight! I'll show em one day!
Oh yeh, i like Lemsip. I'd drink it all the time if i could, its tasty. As for helping you with the cold, i think it works by getting it out of your system. It usually makes me snot more and get a bit hot and sweaty but it does make you feel a bit better afterwards. Soups always good, an old secret most forget.

Good, you work on maths and stay frosty on youre other subjects too though. sounds like you got good self discipline there- i hope it takes you far. :D
i tried doing militry press on monday but it wasnt in me and for the first time ever i lost conrol of the bar :x ... my wall has a couple new scars where it hit.
i workout at home with freeweights. heheheh, one ay you`ll OWN them machines :cool the one at work only goes upto 85kg though.
the joint pain is something i generally have regardless.
good job on improving your chest shape- little by little. consistency and time.
Valk,
my workout schedule at the moment is something like this:
MONDAY:
military press
one arm row
deadlift
bent leg stiff leg deadlft
calf raise
abs
TUESDAY:
bench press
ez curl
standing ricep extension
ez curl 1rm
shrugs.
(cardio im working on)
sounds like a good idea with your trainingf. As for upper back between the shoulder blades muscle and under neck- i need that too. i used to get a real nice shape from upright row- but i quit it cos it hurt my joints. no good. i uased to squat- holdng the bar kinda grew that part of my back too. currently i do one arm row and shrugs, this isnt really doing it for me though, i stil lack any real meat up there. though i am still fairly new to deadlifts- perhaps over time itll help. my torsio is thickih (proportionally) my limbs short and my neck long-ish. so i am very aware that i need more meat on my neck and a smaller midsection. but im not managing that yet. i used to dio manual exercises for my neck- got it upt 19 1/2" now its probably 16?

11th May 2005, 04:42 PM
i do deadlifts. my quads definitly get hit hard for that.
however not as well as squats. i used to do 3 exercises for legs: squats, stiff leg deadlift and calf raise. this got me some reasonable size for my small frame. but i never did or do any direct quad work such as leg ext-one cos it hurts my joints, 2 cos i restrict my exercises since i burn out easily and 3 cos i dunno.
i have a similar problem to you Valk. bent over shrugs? im not sure, if you can find a way to make it safe so that theres no strain on your lower back maybe you could experiment. but unless youcan do it safely dont bother. as for it being enough: why dont you wait until youve added 10-20kg to each exercise for that area and THEN see if its improving, often times simply being stronger shows results from exercises that seemed to at first notgive results. i mean my legs are sticks- but sayi could eventually deadlift 200kg- would they still be sticks even if i did only deadlift? likely no.. likely theyd be decent sized. so work on increasing your strength and eating well.
yeah, good links Shane.

I'm currently reading about eccentric training. Looks interesting.
soserious
11th May 2005, 04:57 PM
yeah, its interesting but theres not many exercises to do it with.
personally i like simpliciy so i dont do it often. howver something like chins/ pullups can be quite successful for eccentric training- just doing the lowering portion of the exercise.
but still you gotta be careful of injury risks.
but for sure let us know how your thoughts and maybe experiments go. maybe i will even do some eccentric pullups/chins. hmm.
Valk
11th May 2005, 05:06 PM
Good that you brought up pull-ups 'cause thats the first exercise I'm gonna apply the eccentric training principle.
Like I've said, I'm very weak and can just make it through one rep.
Because I train at home I dont have access to a Lat Pulldown machine.
Thus I'm gonna focus on the eccentric portion of the pull-up:
1) Doing only the eccentric portion of the pull-up
2) Staying in an certain position of the ROM for a certain amount of time
-The completely pull-upped position
-The half-way position
-The almost fully stretched position.

11th May 2005, 05:25 PM
uh-huh i see.
yeah, pullups canbe hard for some people, i have friends who are lighter but not as strong as me who can do 2x what i can easily. im not great at pullups or chins.
so youre gonna do some `dead hangs` too huh? just holding onto the bar and hanging at the end of it.
i think if you safely manage what youre planning that youll be able to do more pretty soon.
keep us posted on how it all goes.

oh yeah, Valk, you say youre neck is a bit thin and longish yes? (like mine ) what do you wear as tops? i usually wear something with a collar and have it up -it improves the shape and look of myneck or at least disguises what its lacking right now. not shirts more just t-shirt type things with short soft collars and jackets with collars.

Hey valk to get that upper back/shoulder muscle bigger, do seated rows and if your shoulder can take it shoulder presses.
I've been doing those 2 for a while now and that part of my back/shoulders got much bigger.
Also those wide, pronated grip pullups do wonders for your back muscles
Dong_Johnson
11th May 2005, 06:27 PM
Even if you can't do many unassisted pullups, just do sets of 1/2 as much as you can
This is a good (but tough) pullup programme

Are seated rows done with a machine? I train at home and have only free weights so have limited recourses.
You make it sound if dumbell presses are bad for your shoulders. Is that really true? And dont really see another option for working my shoulder directly, as they are very high on my priority list.

Valk,
are you familiar with the works of `Stuart McRobert`? "beyond brawn" for example is a really good book. imho he is one of the very best sources of sensible and productive weighttraining there is.
i dont think he was saying dumbell shoulder presses are bad, imo theyre not bad, but they are a little more `tricky` than using a barbell for overhead presses. both core shoulder exercises.
ss

soserious
11th May 2005, 10:12 PM
Valk, dumbell overhead presses are more tricky because of the balance issue-a barbell more or less balances itself out but 2 dumbells its on you to keep steady.
no, overhead press with a barbell is not inherently dangerous, though `behind the neck presses` have caused many torn rotator cuffs and caused injuries due to the awkwardness and weight- the safer option is to do `military presses` aka overhead barbell presses at the front of the body/head not behind.

4 Days a week 2 days upper 2 days lower, my days change every week so lets just say this week i will do,,
Upper
2 days a week
Curls-each arm- 5 set's each set i do 11 to 12 curls with 40bls.weights.
push ups- 5 set's each set i do 27 to 28 push ups.
Home'gym- bench'press 4 set's each set i do 18 to 20 180 bls.
Home'gym- butter'fly 4 set's each set i do 15 to 16 80bls.
Lower
2 days a week
Leg bends- 4 set's each set i do 45 to 50.
Home'gym- leg press 4 to 5 set's each set i do 20 to 25 115bls.
So 1 day i do Upper second day i do lower, then i rest a day then same thing 1 day upper second day lower.
Then sometimes i will rest for 2 days straight then start again!

Hmmm, I have a few comments on your routine. Its not about the exercises that you do but the ones that you dont do.
Every heard of the term "opposing muscles"?
Joints have opposing muscles to move in more then one direction.
For example the elbow joint. The biceps bend the arm and the triceps extend the arm.
If one muscle(group) gets stronger then the other then that will develop an imbalance and can even lead to injuries.
In your routine, you focus too much on your front sides. Chest, biceps, front deltoids. In particular the focus on your chest and front deltoids can be dangerous. You need to include more back work.
Otherwise you will probably develop the "rounded shoulders" or "hunchback" syndrome.
You need to include more "pull-exercises" in your routine. Benchpress, pushups are known as "push-exercises".
Is the butterfly the same as the pec-deck? If it is, you can substitute the butterfly for the reverse-butterfly, where you exert the force backwards instead of forwards.
Other pull-exercises include: One arm dumbell rows, pull/chin-ups, rows.
Another thing. I dont know what your goal is, but if you want to gain mass you must decrease your volume a bit. 25-50 repetitions in a set wont win you alot of muscles mass. Its primary for muscle endurance.
I think you should be in the 6-10 rep range. That way, your workouts will be shorter but much more productive.

so, how are the rest of you doing today?
Dong_Johnson
12th May 2005, 08:49 PM
Seated rows are done on a machine, if you have a barbell some weights and a bench at home you can do them too.
Place the barbell w/weights under the bench, lie on your front, check the barbell is in line with the middle of your pec/nipple area and lift for the suited amount of reps. Not so sure about trying them with dumbells.
I meant that the shoulder press might be tough if you have a shoulder injury (did one of your previous posts mention something about a rotator cuff?).
If not, happy days and shoulder press away. It's a pretty good opposite to wide grip pullups too.
Can be done on a machine, w/dumbells, or with a smith machine ("assisted" olympic bar)
soserious
12th May 2005, 09:14 PM

Dong Johnson is right,
but personally i tried that row and it was ok except it crushed my rib cage- not comfortable.
im actualy gonna put my one arm row on hold for a while (i was stuck on 60 something anyway) and instead do chins weighted.
..mmm pizza is almost done...
im so hungry and for once i have something to eat i want to eat :D
but whe ive eaten it its gone :x
theres more ice cream and swiss rolls :D

original book was "brawn" but it has a few flaws as he says and hes more experienced work "beyond brawn" is an improvement and then some.
he also doesw a column for flex magazine (i no longer subscribe) called "in the trenches" basically q & a letters he answered.

I will be doing some back exercises soon, oh and i forgot to mention that a few days a week at work, i'll go in the the restroom and in there we have a shower with a strong bar on top of the door'way. So i will go in there and do pull'ups/chin'ups about 10 in a set, i try to do at least one set a day at work as an extra! :mrgreen
Your right about lowering my reps, so i will be working on adding alittle more weight to my sets, and i will try to get around 8 to 11 reps aswell. Then after wards maybe a month or 2 i will add more weight and lower my reps even more. :cool

Add 4" to my skinny legs upper.
Add 2" to my lower legs.
Add about 2 to 3" in my chest.
Add 1" maybe alittle more to my shoulder's.
Add some mass to my stomach!! :mrgreen
And i will be working on my back ,but for that not sure just yet.
My Fat goal is to get around 10 to 15% body fat 85 to 90% Muscle/Mass,
and keep it there. :D
Most of your 'Top' Bodybuild'ers' Are around 5 to 8 percent of body fat, but when there going to preform on lets say tv or show events, they usually get them self's down to about 1 to 3 percent in body fat so they look good as shit.. :mrgreen But it is very dangerous to get your body fat percent that low.. :shock: If you know what i mean. :cool

no idea, probably smaller.
when i was 18-19 my upper arms were 17" cold, unflexed (hanging straight down) and fore-arms were 14". they dropped down to 14" after a bunch of stuff, and recently they were (cold, unflexed/straight down)14 1/2" and 15 1/4" pumped (straight) i dont actually measure my arms folded over and tensed/flexed. theyre usually an inch bigger like that tho-so theyd (guessing) be around 15 1/2" *flexed* and a bit more pumped. im aiming for 17" straight/ cold.
why?
