ANOTHER TRI EXERCISE?
Hey Omega, I've noticed good physical changes on this program:
- excellent biscep, shoulders, back improvement (i'm liking both the shape changes and size changes on these bodyparts)
- reasonable quad/chest/forearms progress (chest was always a good body part for me, and my right forearm is always ripped looking from tennis)
- poor tricep progress
- (hard for me to monitor hams, arse, lower back, and my calves already were really good. I do notice my arse is less sore on this routine than it use to be - i'm guessing back squats were primarily performed by my glutes).
Can I throw in another tri exercise? I don't feel they get as good as workout ATM than other bodyparts - they never seem to get DOMS like every other body part. Also, I only see the pump in my lower tri on this routine. If I can thrown in another exercise, what one (pressdown's supersetted with kickbacks)?
Certainly when we hit stage 2 shoulders/arms will be my desired focus exercise simply since I've always exercised on the "compound exercise bangwagon" and hence watched these body parts do nothing lol
On another note, I have been quite non-compliant diet wise - basically because I've had a million birthdays and crap like that (as well as nocturnal insomina eating)and hence rationalised that I couldn't comply with diet for the first 2 weeks of the program anyway - and probably exceed your carb and protein suggestions by 100. This has stopped this week and will stop. On the plus side, I certainly haven't gained any fat consuming about 3300-3500 cals per day. FROM TODAY I will report any diet non-compliance so it stops happening. I am lucky that I have a good metabolism; I'm unlucky in that I like binge eating (sometimes going entire boxes of cereal or tubs of PB at once), and therefore hover around 12% bf when I should be much lower
Oh and Iggy:
I wish I had started training as a teenager. Keep it up and by early 20's u will be a nasty bastard and dominating the clubs lol (if not already)
