just use him!! I kinda already thought you did after seeing Ebow's face after haning out with you. I know I know, that happened after you left, that's your story but you can PM me the truth, I can handle it. :D


I've been sick for the better part of a week. DAmn sinus cold bullshit. Going to attempt to run tomorrow morning. Oh yah, finally running again on my bum ankle.

Heh I know people who would enjoy being a consensually suspended human punching bag. :)
 
I don't know what happened. He didn't look like that when I was with him.

I skipped Yoga class in favour of sex and a cannabutter cookie.
 
bench - warmups 135x16 185x12 225x12
bench - working sets 275x7 295x5 315x3 335x2
some cable flies and some dips

the end
 
nothing yet, but it's lower body day, so I'm sure it'll be about 2.4 miles running, and lunges, squats, leg curls, calf raises, and a few ab excercises.
 
in a rush to go pub -

Just finished eating after -

buncha dumbell presses
buncha seated chest presses
loadsa bench presses
load of dumbell flyes
some kind of pec extension (lying down thingy)

tricep pulldown thingys
some overhead tricep extensions
buncha tricep extension, kneeling on bench (horizontal)
Some dips.
 
1km run for warmup
dumbbell shoulder press 6 x 6
dumbbell side lateral raises 6 x 6
dumbbell front raises 6 x 6
military press 6 x 6
ab crunches 200

what do you think is better, ab crunches with your own body weight on the ground or doing them on the machine so you can do extra weight?
 
Squats
Bench (PR!)
Dead (PR!)

Did shit on the hammer strength machine and pec deck. Did calf raises on a machine as well as two quick sets on the leg press. Dips, pullups and some ab work. One of my better workouts ever. I am cutting back majorly on the alcohol and it has really been worth it when it comes to my workouts.

I like using the machine... but honestly I do both. I don't want to say one gets better results than the other.

PLUS what I've recently started doing is holding onto a 10 or 25 lb weight while doing crunches, so you can do extra weight without a machine. =D
 
might have been other stuff.. can't really remember

front pulldown - 100 130 160 180 200 220
cable row - 100 120 140 160 180
hammer 1 arm row - 45 70 90 115
db shrugs - 30 40 50 60 70
shoulder superset (front raise, military press, upright row, bent row, curls) 20 25 30 35 40
reverse db fly 1 arm - 15 17.5 20 25
cable reverse fly 1 arm - 70 100 130 150
cable shrug - 70 90 130 150 150 150 150
cable stiff arm pushdown - 50 50 50 50
tbar row 45

was 12 reps for everything pretty much but some things I went like 25 reps on or even higher. just felt good to work a lot of back and shoulders but focusing in on a good contraction across my upper back on all lifts. really trying to work on my inner upper back thickness.

now its time for my post workout foodfest - 2 super buritos, extra meat, extra cheese, avacado and like 2 whole limes.
 
3 x 5 Squats (with like 2 really heavy extra ones)
3 x 5 Military Press
3 x 5 Barbell Rows

some machine work, dips, pullups, ab stuff.

Having great workouts right now, gotta make sure I keep eating to take advantage of it.
 
Seeing my chest is lacking the most compared to the rest of my body decided to now train 5 days a week doing check twice a week now.

Today I did
Flat dumbbell bench press 6 x 6
Incline dumbbell bench press 6 x 6
Flat dumbbell flies 6 x 6
Dips 6 x 6 on assistance dip machine

Whats are people opinions on doing 6 sets of 6 reps? My trainer thinks it will be good for building muscle mass/bulking up, which I want. Looks a little different then most people do but I guess the thing with weight training is, 1000 people will tell you one way is good while another 1000 people will tell you a difference way is better...
 
100 squats
30 push ups
30 dips
100 twist crunches
grease groove pull ups

2 mile run
 
Man, that sounds like a LOT. I thought you were a beginner.

sorta... maybe intermediate would be a better term...

I was never in terrible shape, and I've been working out for maybe 3 or 4 months now... I started out doing a lot more actually, but my workout partner (aka girlfriend) is training for a fitness competition and her trainer gave her this workout and a diet plan, so I'm doing the workout with her. it's a little easier than the old one to be honest.... I don't mind =D
 
what do you think is better, ab crunches with your own body weight on the ground or doing them on the machine so you can do extra weight?

I actually do them on a pulldown machine, using ropes with balls on the end to hold at the sides of my head (temples) and I do 110, 120, 130lbs on the machine I use... though on the other side of the same machine I can only do like 60-80... I guess it depends on how many pulleys there are, cause the weights are definitely different.
 
The truth about building muscle is if you exert it, it will grow. There are many ways of optimizing and speeding up the process, but truth be told there is no right on wrong way. Just workout, and you will obtain growth.

Anywhoo:
Jumping squats, dips, handstand pushups, daimond push ups, weighted crunches. All in rapid succesion to keep heart rate up. Good stuff, time for a shake :)
