Lol ... When I say less walking I don't actually mean I will be walking less, I mean I will be walking less to finish a task, and then on to another. I know my squat and deads will go up because just doing construction for 6 months increase my squat by 100 and my deads by 200, but I don't know...

Try skull crushers with a dumbbell. This is much easier on the elbows and shoulders and I've never seen better tricep gain from doing anything else.

I figure if I do it slowly it won't make me less productive, plus there is less walking when you have all your tools on you. My diet is amazing which helps, so I'll try and see what happens. Maybe my squat and dead lift will go up. Thanks for the input!

Used to work out, but don't really do that much anymore. Should work out my arms too since I'm constantly climbing ladders 40+ feet all day. Took awhile to get used to the 40 - 60 lbs, but now it's nothing. I read somewhere about Olympic sprinters wearing 20lb vests all day to increase their...

I was wondering if anyone has used a heavy weighted vest or equivalent multiple hours of the day and how this worked on strength/size. Reason I'm wondering is because I work construction and currently carry about 40 - 60 lbs. on me 8 hours 5 days a week, but I was thinking about upping it. I...

Because I would like to know what my max bench is so that I know if I'm going up in weight every week. As for curls, I feel that they don't really effect clean and jerks and give me time to recover from the bench. Clean and jerks kill me when I do them and sprints have nothing on them which is...

I would like to add dips, and I think skull crushers are much better than pull overs. However, I think adding dips would put to much strain on my triceps. Yes my main goal right now is fat loss, and it seems to be going very quickly! I have noticed that if I have kept it under 14 reps, my...

I can do heavy deads, but squats are out of the question because of horrible head pain. That's why I stopped working out a long time ago when it was really bad and it might be due to a concussion I had about 2 years ago. Here is my lower body days at 1 - 2 times a week. I'm writing this...

Smoking makes me one lazy fucker! If I could get it often and not be as lazy I would probably do it every day! I used to condemn everyone that did it, but I realized drinking was a much worse habit. It definitely helps you sleep and eat more though so if your trying to lose weight, I wouldn't...

I'm just getting back into working out after 1.5 years and I thought I would post my upper body days for critiquing. My goal is to lose weight and gain as much muscle as possible. Current: Age: 23 Height: 5'7" Weight: 194 lbs. Arms: 17.5" Waist at smallest: 36.75" Waist at largest: 40.75"...

backwards hypers with the top of the leg and place to put your ankle at about the same height work wonders. Just be careful I tried starting out with a 45 screwed myself up. Until you get used to it it's kind of hard to do compared to declines because of stability.

I would stay in hypertrophy range and just make sure you eat all the time. It seems to me that running only makes your lifts go up faster most likely do to increased test levels as long as your your eating well and getting the sleep required.

Thanks both of you and yeah guess it has to do with my hobbit like build.

Ever since 9th grade my vertical has been about 18" and it might be at 20" now and I really need some help with getting it higher. Not only that, but my 40 yard dash has stayed about the same at around 5.9 sec. I don't understand how it hasn't gone up more than 2" at most because I was...

1. I would lower the reps from 6 to 12 since this is usually the best range for hypertrophy. 2. Intake some form of protein directly after workout and whey or some other type of fast absorbing protein would be best. 3. To gain size add around 500+ calories and mostly protein to your usual...
