a new day!

Thursday Nov 7th - 6pm

----------
Bench - Flat

warmup - 125x10
-- 145x5
-- 155x3
--145x4

notes:
- no idea whats up with this, seems very low.. maybe my form is improper...

----------
Fly's
warmup - 15x10
-- 25x8
-- 25x10
-- 25x7

notes:
- Don't wanna go to heavy on these.. heard some horror stories, and I could feel the stress on my Pec's. I really wish I had someone I could get some form advice from locally.

----------
Bench - Dumbbell
warmup - 25x10
-- 55x5x2 - 1 set each arm
-- 55x4x2
-- 55x4x2

notes:
- a bit hard, had to start in the air to get it properly.

----------
Overhead press - Standing
warmup - 35x10
-- 75x10
-- 85x6
-- 85x5
-- 85x5
-- 85x5

notes:
- I love this exercise. Feels so good.

----------
Ab work:
crunches
warmup - unweightedx20
-- 25x20
-- 50x10

notes:
- I'm already becoming quite exhausted...

Leg Lifts
warmup - unweightedx5
-- 5x5
-- 10x5

notes:
- Legs are far too sore for this.. had to stop early.
- rigged up a awesome system for this. I found a dog chain/leash. Made of chain. I wrapped it around one foot, put the chain thru the center of a disk, then wrapped around my other foot, and clasped it. Locks good, works good.
- ab's are either weak, or I just need to put them on another day (probably it, I'm working on a split right now)

---------
END SESSION - 7:05

looks good,can you post your split?

if i recall your other post your legs were sore right,im not trying to critisize but why did you train them again

and if you post your split we could see how much rest your getting etc

I don't have a split yet.. I'm just trying to trian the piss out of everything in a few days, and then rest big while I come up with a Split.. tomorrow I plan to do heavy arms, and then rest and find a good split.

I wasn't trying to train my legs with the leglifts, my goal was to hit my abs, but I obviously need to do that on Leg day.

oh ok,i wasnt sure of what you were using.

have you considered the 5x5 routine?

This is the split I was considering some time ago.. But the problem with it is, I would prefer to do more days. Like 5 days a week.

I have come up with some goals, not specific, but well, should be sufficient.
I would like to build size and strength in equity around my whole body. I would like to go for a Bodybuilder look. No plans to go competitive in any way, not as of yet anyways. A few years time may change that.

Here is what i had:

=====================
Monday

Deadlifts 1 max set of 20.
Overhead Press - 5 sets of 5
Squats - 5 sets of 3
Seated Calf Raise - 2 sets of 20

Wednesday

Barbell Rows - 5 sets of 5
Bench Press - 5 sets of 5
Deadlifts (STRAIT LEGGED) - 1 set of 20
Standing Calf Raise - 2 sets of 20

Friday

Shrugs - 5 sets of 5
Barbell Curls - 5 sets of 5
Dips - 5 sets of 5
Squats - 5 sets of 5 with weight from Monday
==========================

hmm that looks like the old school routine kind like what corn posted,but i think for a beginner that may be much,

maybe this would work better

monday
chest/tri's
flat bench
incline db's
dips
close grip bench
skullcrushers

wed
back/traps/bi's
deads
yates rows
barbell rows
shrugs
standing bb curls
hammer curls

fri
legs/shoulders
squats
lunges
stiff leg deads
calf raises
military presses
side laterals


just a thought but it isnt so much and on off days you can do cardio,if that was what u planned on doing

Looks like a good plan. Thank you, I will be considering it. I need a few excersises described though.
Side laterals?, Hammer curls?, Yates rows?.
Thanks!

 

[theoak01]

side laterals you take a dumbell hold it by your side and then raise it out sideways so your body looks like a 7,then lower it

hammer curls you sit down take a dumbell and hold it this way

------

and curl it up like swinging a hammer

yates rows are barbell rows but with a under hand grip keeping the elbows very tight

ill see if i can dig up a video description site

 

[theoak01]
