angelofdeath Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 2 hours isnt so bad.... think about it. if you do cardio for 30-45 min or more... lift for an hour - hour 15 min... thats 2 hours right there. it all depends what you are doing. but if you are doing bicep curls for 2 hours... then YES you are there to long.

MitchThe$nitch Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 i can get in and out in an hour, but without cardio. 3 times a week. the boflex is pretty cool - my friend has it and it will work you out - to a degree. don't be surprised if it ends up being a clothes hanger at some point - i know two people who's boflex's met that fate.

metronome Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We didn't split on a power rod machine, we split on the dumbbells that adjust from 10lbs to 95lbs. My old man bought the OG bowflex and it was nice to work out on I just hated having to change the machine around to switch what I was working out all the time. But with this selectable dumbbell system I'm thinking of just switching to a full body workout 3 times a week with cardio in between instead of doing the split up workouts like I've been doing. I'm not trying to be jacked, just nice and in shape edit: angel, I wasn't counting cardio into the 2 hours, should have mentioned that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 im usually in the gym 4 days a week for 2 hours a day. been slaking latly but i do some free weights, lots of straight bar stuff, some kickboxing, some spin, lots of pushups. im in pretty good shape id say. i watch what i eat too but i can enjoy food cuz i upped my metab so much i can do that. its hard but you have to stick to it. the results are worth it Aren't you a chick? I'm pretty sure you are but can't recall. If so, are you musclebound now? Defined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Still bulking and its going well, currently at 165/170, hoping to climb to 200 and then start the cutting process. Lifts have gone up too, but i think i may be stuck at a 245 bench plateau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelofdeath Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 enjoy the strength while you have it. your maxes or strength gains probably will be a thing of the past when you start cutting you tried floor presses or using bands to try to break your bench plateau?

vanfullofretards Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 New dumbbells at the gym seem heavier. BTW - Thanks AOD... really appreciate it. Honestly. I just don't see myself jumping into all brand new exercises though.. I like to ease into a new exercise one at a time :D hahah.. I guess I was just looking for a way to reorganize what I was already doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 simple - cardio (run, jump rope, etc) and eating right. higher protein lower carbs. Add in bodyweight squats, pull ups and chin ups, and you've got yourself a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbsyntec Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 lower carbs. Your body needs carbs and it can only process so much protein. Balanced diet. You especially don't need more protein if your workout is jumping rope. You need stuff for fast twitch muscles with a workout like that. bodyweight squats bodyweight lunges too. You can also add, I don't know what you call them but you run really slow and kick out before going down and it helps with your explosiveness and ability to run faster or anything associated with that muscle group. Jump squats are amazing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KINGSHITOFFUCKMOUNTAIN Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 any runners in here?? i used to run around 40 miles a week, fell off around christmas time, and just started running again a couple days ago. My cardio is fucked but it's not really the problem - i was expecting that being a smoker - but I've been having sciatic compression or some shit going on in my right side. My lower right hip will start going numb and I'll have a dull pain if i try and push through it too long. Today I did six and a half miles and just stopped and walked it off when it progressed to the dull pain... I guess what I'm wondering is if this is something I should just try and push through (my plan) or if I need to get some new shoes, adjust my stride, etc?

soul vice Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm kinda just getting into this stuff, I started working out probably 6 months-1 year ago? I haven't made much progress, so I must be doing something wrong. My forms pretty good, and I'm fairly consistent about it, so I don't know. Right now I'm doing Monday- chest Tuesday- arms Wednesday- back Thurs- nothing Fri- Legs With different ab exercises thrown in on all days and running about a mile every day I work out. Anybody have any suggestions as to how I can switch up my routine/whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanfullofretards Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 How many sets, reps do you do? What exercises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 going back to the gym this is what my routine looks like day1 - squat bench press bent row dips day 2 squat deadlift over head press pullups dips twice a week 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul vice Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 For chest usually bench, flies, and then standing cable pulls. For arms I'm doing a downward cable pull (triceps) preacher curls and pull ups (biceps) and a forearm curl. For back I usually do deadlifts, bent-over row, and seated row. For legs I'm doing leg press, extensions, standing calve raise, and a leg curl. And for shoulders I do shrugs and a dumbell press. For most of these I'm doing 3 sets of 10, I switch it up sometimes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainframe Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Don't devote an entire day to arms, especially the day before you do back, since many back exercises use a lot of biceps. I find that it's better to do triceps the same day as chest, and biceps the same day as back. Do triceps/biceps AFTER your chest/back work. If you haven't been lifting for very long, sets of 10 are good for building muscle memory and honing your form. In general though, especially for higher-weight compound exercises such as bench, deadlifts, squats, and rows, I would recommend doing pyramid sets. Work up to a weight you can only hit for say 2-6 reps, and do 2 or 3 sets at that weight, then work back down and really burn your muscles out. It depends on the exercise, I personally prefer to squat weight I can handle for at least 6-8 reps, but on bench, with a good spotter, I might push it to 2 reps. Build your workouts around compound exercises, and always start with your bench, squat, deadlifts, rows or whatever and do accessory work afterward. Also, if you don't already, try taking some whey protein right after you work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchThe$nitch Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I recently switched up my days a bit. Doing Arms in one day seems crazy. I now do chest + tri's on Monday. I switch it up every week in terms of what excercises I do. For instance, tonight I will do. Bench Press Incline Dumbell Pressess Dumbell flies. Next Monday I'll switch it up.. Do all Bar Bench, throw in some decline. Change weight from heavy to light, do more reps. Wednesday- Shoulders, Bi's. Same thing here..I switch up the excercises and weight from week to week. Friday - Back/Abs. I can really devote a whole workout to back. Two times in between I run outside 2-4 miles. I also have two dogs, and no backyard. So I walk them 3 times a day a mile or so. I'm lucky enough to live on the 4th floor, with no elevator so I run up them or double time them each and every time. That is my main excuse for doing little to no leg work. I was born with some thick ass legs, plus 18 years of skateboarding. I do throw in squats twice a month if I have time. In a few months, I'll change all of this up...I want to get away from doing specific muscles on specific days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
