After a couple of weeks of upper body rest due to my shoulder hurting......
Today I did some bi's & tri's...

Good for you :)

We need to go workout again_

what program you using to track

bump for answer.

Man that program is TERRIBLE.

FORGET ALL ISOLATION EXERCISES.

You only have 1 compound exercise listed, and it's zero weight - chest dips.

You're spending an hour on your bicep! Biggest newbie mistake.

The bicep is a tiny muscle, you will get double the results on your biceps doing Lat Pulldowns - 80kg - 100kg.

Forget 15kg dumbells, do COMPOUND EXERCISES - HEAVY WEIGHTS.

You can add bicep curls year 3! They won't do anything.

You have 40kg of muscle on your body to train, don't spend hours on the tennis ball sized bicep!

^ what he said

what site/software is that?

Keep up the good work!

i have better workout programs :winkwink:

Today was leg day for me. :2 cents:

gym goal. Love the app as it lets you create whatever workout programs you want both weights & cardio.

blah, blah, blah.....

Where do you get 1hr for & just bi's ?
It's a back, tri & bi workout and it is about 35-45 mins including me talking..... Always start workout with 10-15 mins of cardio on elliptical to warm up.....

I'm more into gymnosophist exercises ...

it's pretty standard to do the basic compound exercises followed by some isolation exercises, not 4 X 3 X 10 bicep curls!

it might be an ok workout as day 3 of a 3 day split routine, but you're just killing your bicep it won't be that effective, maybe for a cyclist with 5% body fat you could get some improvement, skinny people can get good definition in the first few months!

and I hope that's not your max after an injury!

Yeah, I like to disregard excellent advice, too.

you're making me so jealous

Cool software, it's almost like the calorie counting sites. It's good for a beginner or someone who likes to keep track of what they do.

I've been training for 12 years, mt regimin is pretty much the same. I don't count reps and I don't pay attention to weight. I know how much I can lift without getting hurt - getting old sucks!

I'm up about 13 pounds in bw in the last 3 months. Thinking about competing in my first amatuer show this summer.

I need to work on chest, my back is rediculously big and makes everything look smaller. :(

All of those moves are a bunch of bullshit waste of time.

Just stick with the basics. Benching, squatting and some type of back movement like Tbar rows or pullups. You'll look exactly the same in the end. Your biceps get hit when you do your back.


---and drop the measured rep/set thing. Go until near muscle failure, or do what your body tells you for that day. Also, don't go to the gym on the same days, and do an entire body workout here and there just to keep your muscles on their toes.

This shit ain't rocket science, so drop the spreadsheets and all of that horseshit.

Everybody's gotta start somewhere bro. I don't do the spreadsheet thing either, but if it helps someone, then I don't see a problem with them using it. Also, not everyone can do pullups (or insert move here).... that shit is extremely hard to do more than a few reps. Targeted moves can help in areas like that. For example, I have a near impossible time doing regular situps... but the ab machines help me immensely since I can't do it the other way.

No, it's not rocket science.... but I don't criticize if someone does it different than me. :2 cents:

Ok, so the ab machine....

You have a six pack already. If you can't see it, then you cardio and diet mod will do the trick. That's what I'm saying. Isolation is overrated, and doesn't do half as much as sticking with the basics.

You can see the strain on the bicep just with about 60kg on the weight stack.

3 sets like this will do way more for your biceps than 12 sets of curls! :thumbsup

Nice hair.

For once crazy boy is correct. Hit some heavy deadlifts, squats, bench press, pull downs and rows and then supplement the areas you want to improve with iso's.

disclaimer: i am not an expert, just an enthusiast adding to the dialogue.

my experience is dieting/cardio will peel the flab down to expose whatever level of abdominal muscles are there. no uber hard training on abs = no abs.

i have gotten good results from dead lifts, they hit my abs pretty hard, but i've found that i get PHENOMENAL ab work when i do hanging upside down crunches on my inversion table. isolation.

but abs are core, so maybe they can handle some isolation, ??? i don't know, but my experience speaks for itself.

Very alpha, bro.

Good trainer and perfect diet is the key...

Goodluck man!!

Mine is for "back" today

A bigger question is, How is your diet?

Do you want to be lean and ripped?

Unless you are trying to get BIG, diet/cardio is 90% IMHO.

Well done does your shoulder still hurt?
