So the more you do it the less you feel the pain then?

i'm sure our workouts are way different (i'm a girl) but i definitely noticed when i was working out 5-6 times a week that i never felt sore. i think i worked out so often that i entered this weird state of perma-soreness and it just seemed normal and not really noticeable.

my past 2 days in the gym have been pretty much identical:

~25 minutes weights
(machines - mostly upper body)

~60 minutes cardio
(33 elliptical/20 stairmaster/and whatever on the bike to get me to 500 calories burned)

~10 minutes abs
(200 bench crunches, 100 ball crunches)

i should not have done arms 2 days in a row. i can barely lift up a sandwich.

No, just a 37.5 dumbell in each arm. I think I phrased it wrong, haha, I wish I had the balls to be able to curl a 75lbs weight, without crackin' the adrenaline.

Im slowly increasing it at about a rate of 2.5lbs a month now to see if how high i can make it


Right now my daily tally, from awaking at 10am to currenty 2pm is
(I also went to town and bought a shirt during this time, but w/e)
150push ups
250 sit ups
50 crunches
100 bicep curls 37.5
2km run
1km sprint

I dont know about you guys, but I dont really have set workout times, usually i'll be watchin' TV,commercial comes on and I just do 50 situps or crunches or pushups or whatever till the show is back on, then i'll switch back to bicep curls, or deadlifts, I'll do chinups while I watch movies.

I just cant sit still, so im always working out, anyone else like this?

Are you doing anything for triceps out of curiousity? With all that bicep work, got to make sure you try and balance those opposing muscle groups out. Other than that, sounds like you're doing really well! Since you're doing so much I've gathered you're already enjoying one of my favorite aspects of working out, which is the mirrored results! =D

I rather enjoy mirrors when I'm in shape. :)
 
Well, right now my only exercise for triceps are skull crushers .....aka the tricep press with 50lbs, If ya got a better one to reccomend me, please, please do, many a time i've had a 5lb weight slide off and crack me in the nose :)

Bah, just woke up and ate a quick grain breakfast, took my vitamins now I'm goin' to' do a few sets, I just cant sit still.
 
i went to work and i work as a bricklayer so thats like a workout all day. i start AT 7 in the morning and dont sit down til about 11.30 for lunch then get back to work at 12 til 3.30 or 4. when i got home from work iwent for a quik MX ride.
 
I've been going to the gym five days a week for about 7 weeks now. I do weight with legs on Monday, chest/shoulders on Wednesday, and arms on Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday I work on speed and agility (lunges, sprints, etc.)

I could post my entire workout if anyone wants me to. :P I need to get big for basketball :)

I think it was probably because i was just starting out and over did it. I've been working out quite a lot this week and yet to feel any pain. Its strange because I used to hate excercise but now its one of my favourite things to do.

Try close-grip bench press or (weighted) dips

A good way to tweak skull crushers are:

1, Let your head lay freely off of the bence, this will give you more range of motion in the negative part of the rep.

2, When you are in position and ready to press, rotate your shoulders toward your head. In the locked out position the angle from your head to your arms should be smaller than the angle of your shoulder in porportion to your body. This will allow for the movement to be isolated to your tricep more. A common way of doing this is performing french presses on a declined bench at about 20-30 degrees.

Also, you will get much more out of this movement if it is done in strict control so as not to crack open your head with a weight falling off.

Haha, Allright, Thanks man, im getting ready to try this now as soon as my breakfast settles enough to allow exercise :), oh, and im going to be doing my close gripped bench press's in that manner from now on aswell.

Yesterday I did a mountain hike (12km jogging/walking, .2km vertical climb, aswell as my daily workout), and im planning on hiking back upto the top today with my bike strapped to my back and riding down, it seems awsome, fairly smooth rocks, average drop is only about 3 feet, no real massive crevacies. yep.
