week 3 day 3.. sorry I didn't get a chance to post this shit has been hectic!! ARGH

sleep deprivation ftl

so on day 3 I did biceps and back and traps, I also did yoga before this, which was a baaad idea but I really pushed myself

I have a very difficult time with rows and doing them properly, can I see a video of good strict form and also what is a hammer strength machine?

also my biceps and chest and entire upper body, was completely fucking destroyed last week, like completely mangled, it felt good, I def need to get some glutamine though I need to find time to get to the store.

I know I've asked this before, but what suppliments should I be taking that I can purchase locally, I'm willing to spend like 200-300 on this, because I think it would be hugely beneficial.

unfortunately due to lack of sleep and alot of crazy stress from school and my family aannnd my friends, I haven't made it to the gym yet this week, but instead of not going just because I haven't so far, I'm going to make sure to do my upper body before the weekend is over, my priority for tomorrow is the gym, I'm going to go straight after work and do chest and then back bi's on saturday.

I'm sorry I'm letting you down good sir, I just don't know what to do! I've definately lost probably about 8 lbs or so in the past two weeks, my diet is clean and I'm starting to feel good about eating healthy and falling into a good rythem there, and I no longer bring so much food to work healthy or not, just because I'm bored doesn't mean I need to eat.

So ya... cliff notes..

Hammer strength machine, uh proper row form

and supplements good stuff that will really help me for under 300, locally.

also I was considering creatine because I've never tried and I think I could really enjoy it for a while any suggestions?

and I've eliminated pop almost entirely from my diet now, even though it was just diet pop, def not good for me.

You have not let me down, you have communicated well your constraints and thats life.
Work, School, and you are what matter

But! you must also help your self in order for 1 and 2 to be best

your a smart person, i know you will do well

Supps:

Creatine, to simplify it take 5 -7 grams a day no matter what. this will give you more pep.

Glutamine take 10 grams a day ( great for the immune)

and then just get protien powder

 

[FriendlyCanadian]

k awesome, any sort of creatine powder or glutamine powder to look out for?

or to look for in general?

thanks for your kind words, I'm going to do this and get er done, there is no question.

Week 4

I only made it to one workout was chest and triceps and I really think I perfected the incline push and the fly's my chest is killing me, but I hate the machine press at the gym, it really seems to suck, but I do it anyways.

can I do flat dumbbell presses instead?

week 5 day 1

Well since I only did chest recently the weekend, today I did back and biceps, it was an ok workout, I don't know if I'm doing things properly, I really slowed the pulldowns down and kept my back straight and flexed with every rep, but it seems hard for me to target the muscle group, I also did the one arm db rows this time, I tried very hard to keep good form and squeeze my back on every rep.

the curls were good, the reverse curls really felt like they hit my forearms more than my biceps, all in all my muscles were exhausted during the workout and hopefully they are in screaming pain tomorrow when I wake up, my back is feeling it a bit now.

if you have the machine just use that Chest is really geared toward this piece:

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/o...-mass-movement-isolation-finisher-571165.html

it's a machine where I sitflat straight up almost, my hands are by my chest on the handles and I push it outwards.

that link took me to the mass movement thread.

 

[OMEGA]

Guided Movement:
This exercise is very much like "Training wheels" for your physique. Not only does it get you warmed up but it allows you to Isolate the body part you are working for MAXIMAL, mind muscle connection, and blood volume. Because your not expending energy on balance you body is spending time feeling it out and establishing a platform for a GREAT workout EVERY TIME.
Guided Movements as you guessed it use MACHINES or Plate Loaded Equipment such as Hammer Strength.

MASS Movement:
The MASS Movement will usually be a free weight Movement but in some cases may be a Hammer Strength or Machine Movement.
Though the Rep Shceme is the same as with the other movements it the exercise choice itself that lend it to be a Mass Maker.
For Chest this means Low Incline Dumbell Presses.
For Back this means 1 arm Dumbbell Rows or Hammer Strength Rows.
For Quads This means Smith Squats or Squats.

The Isolation Finisher:
The Isolation Finisher is as you may have guessed it is a Finesse' movement to really carve out detail in the muscle by using Strict form with a movement that is a NOT a compound movement.
For Chest this means Cable or Dumbell Flys
For Back this means the "Shrug - Lateral OMEGA Superset" (which I will explain later)
For Legs this means Legs extensions and hamstring curls.


Chest 1 Guided: Machine Upright

Chest 2 Mass: Low DB presses

Chest 3 Isolation Finish: Cabel FLys

My diet has been pretty good for the past couple of weeks.

mostly I eat 3 eggs or so in the morning with two pieces of toast and ANPB. or sometimes oatmeal or granola, everything is low in sodium.

I often eat only two other meals now, which generally consist of hamburger meat, a bit of pasta and I like to include veggies in all or most of my meals, in the form of peppers and onions and tomatoes and sprouts.

I've not drank diet coke or pop at all in well over a week, I drink a ton of water probably 4-6 litres a day, which sometimes I wonder if that's to much.

I'm not gonna lie the girl I love more then I've loved anyone else is leaving the country for a year and half in two days so I've been sort of distracted, but I'm going to use her leaving massively to my advantage.

I need to hit the gym after work from now on I think, because that's the best time for me.

any recommendations on back when I do rows and such because I have a very hard time feeling my backout. I was doing 45's on my 4th set today. which isn't much, but I'm really trying to just push myself as hard as I can within the workout regiment.
