the Arm day is the one day that will Make your arms LOOK like a bodybuilders pretty much with no matter what you do.

especially if you do it the way prescribed ( which is why I stated DO Not even worry about weight anymore, Just FEEL it.


in 2 weeks you will see it, even you will notice and other well............they will ask questions of you

i really like the new routine, seriously. my reps aren't increasing as much as i would like but i think that's a function of trying to execute "the perfect rep" for every rep AND I have employed a more controlled motion with the negative aspect of my reps. also, really squeezing to get the most contraction can drain me a bit. it will come together though, i can feel it.

question though....on leg day...i have noticed that i have been getting extremely dizzy, lightheaded and borderline nauseous the last bunch of leg workouts. the only thing that i concluded was that working out in the morning first thing i only have a small cup of oatmeal in me. perhaps that isn't enough nutrients to get me through an entire leg workout. legs are definately the most physically demanding workout for me. let me know your thoughts. do you think there is any merit to doing my next couple of leg workouts in the mid afternoon (i'll have a bunch of meals in me at that point) to see if there isd any benefit.

looking forward to your thoughts on this

I would probably eat a slightly more carb heavy ,meal the night before and then slightly up carbs on the Breakfast.

Also add a bit of fat to the breakfast as in Olive oil or dare I say even a pad of butter. The fat will def help modulate mood and endurance for the most difficult workouts.
