podrido Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 hydrogen. all you need is a good 200$ invested on free weights and you're good to go. heres a nice little rinky dink bench at sears. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?cat=Fitness&pid=00614627000&vertical=FIT&subcat=Weight+Benches+%26+Sets&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes good for beginners. the only thing is the vinyl weights, most people recommend steel. but you can buy those on your own. i think a good 140lb set would go for 80$ im not sure, you should check sports authority or even sears. you could invest a couple more dollars and just get yourself a basic olympic bench with dip bars.

buckfiftyexports Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 at this point it takes a retarded amount of sets/weight to fatigue my muscles strength resting is 1-3 minutes rest regular is 30-45 seconds haha i also do 5 sets of shrugs because i can shrug 655lbs 6 times on my last set, ha. the first set is usually also a nice lil warm up. typical flat bench is like 225 - 275 - 315 - 355 So you would still complete your training session in around about an hour? Talk to me about over training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gooch Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 you think an hour is over training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLIK$ Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 training never lasts more than 90 minutes for me, even on the longest days. when it comes to overtraining im really unexperienced because ive never reached the point in which ive overtrained.

the_gooch Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 yeah, i'm saying at least 60-90 min. for resistance training, including abs, and then 20-40 min for cardio. depending on my mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckfiftyexports Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Over training is something I have never fully understood, which is why I asked. I have been told to keep the weights training to roughly the hour mark. I then do cardio etc on top of that. Most of my sessions would last for around the 90 to 105min mark all inclusive.

Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Overtraining is more of breaking down more then your muscles can go. Which is usually over one hour is over training, but then again it depends on you. Glik0 probably can train for hours and not feel the bad effects(muscle pulls or spasms) So overtraining is on you mostly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckfiftyexports Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 How to tell if I am over training, is more my question, but thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 How to tell if I am over training, is more my question, but thanks. well, if you reach muscle failure...(you will know when that happens) If it really hurts to lift/straining really its up to you...and how your body feels. 30 mins is the recommended time to lift I think anything over 1 hour and you should call it a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the whole point yeah? Yea sometimes....training to muscle failure isnt good. Remember if you are going to do that to always use proper form, some people in their struggle to get one last rep in forget technique and hurt themselves real bad.

buckfiftyexports Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks for the tip, but for the most part I do know how to train. I've been pretty dedicated since 2004. I have just never understood exactly what over training is and how to tell if I'm doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i11igul Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 that workout gliko posted sounds like its a fucking killer, im in the middle of an 18 week cycle but the least the rest periods get down to is 60 seconds. but 4 sets of 13-15 reps will surely tired your ass out just the same, maybe if i get any motivation ill lay it out later if anyones interested.
