heard it today in the gym...when i was spotting somebody

8-6
4-6

as joe cam said if your going REAL heavy

lets try for 3......

Yeah, the problem with 3 reps is that it doesnt really promote muscle mass. Its more of a strength building rep scheme.

Rarely do I go below 4.

that's what i was talking about tho.....strength building.

8-12 is more mass building

another question. Through looking at pics (and tryin to find the answer myself) it appears that the traps extend down some to what I consider the upper part of the back, correct? Outside of shrugs what else do yall do? When i originally was workin the muscle (or the part of the back i was intending on working) i did upright rows. I hate upright rows cause for whatever reason i always got pain in my wrists (also just read Camel say its no good for the shoulders)So what excercises do yall do for them outside of shrugs?


I hear deadlifts and rack pulls help build trap mass, not sure though since mine are never sore after doing them

shrugs work fine for me though, ive never had a problem building up my traps. try going heavy, use straps if you need em.

 

[miamin2]

Can anyone refer me to a video that shows the proper form for db rows?

Oh alright, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about mass building.

Agreed though.

Can someone explain the 40 40 20 diet, and does it/ how does it work?

 

[joseph camel jr]

sounds like macro ratios to me.....like you get 40% of your calories from X, 40% from Y, and 20% from Z.

X Y & Z are protein, carbs, and fat, in no particular order.

not sure what rack pulls are (will look it up hear in a sec) but im stayin away from deadlifts due to a knee injury (i know that was a huge debate earlier)

Ill keep doin shrugs, i gues i did realize that was an exercise for that part of my back (traps)

but gotcha.

Yeah, thats what it is.

40/40/20 is normally carbs,protein, then fat. Theres very few people who benefit from a different order

People want to get healthy

Usually how long do you guys feel the soreness after an intense exercise? I can still feel
some aches in my biceps and back from saturday.

your muscles are getting use to the workout you need to switch it up. of course when you stopped your muscles would get sore like you just started doing them.you shouldnt have the same work out pattern for more then 3weeks, look online for better workouts

 

[baby juice]

Squats are cool... after you do them.

Bending down with all that weight is so stupid to me... im like %$ am i doing right now?!

My favorite is back day.... rows, pullups/downs... are great.

 

[c hanna]

i go with my friend it helps. once your there its easy and when you see other bigger/fitter people at the gym you get motivated

 

[lilpro4u]

These 2 summer school classes have been killing me..

Haven't beento the gym in a good 5-6 days.. I feel like such a lard asss.

My roommate just copped that pull up bar that you hang on the top of door frames.. Hopefully I can put it to some use.

I'd definitely recommend it. There's nothing like being able to finally do a series of pull-ups without cheating.
I just started incorporating a fitness ball in my routine, and man, it makes the workout so much tougher.

Has anybody read, The New Rules of Lifting?

 

[stephonurkel]

went way hard on the bench today... i realized today that theres no reason i shouldnt look like LL or King Leonidus... i mean prior to like 3 weeks ago i hadntbeen doin ****ttttttt n im still way more swoll than alotta dudes who been goin to the gym religiously for sum time... put up 225 6 times... jus hopped out theshower n i feel like ironman or some *%++ hahah im officially addicted... cant wait for it to be 2maro... back day, its my favorite cuz its one area of my bodythat doesnt naturally look like what i want it to... i can actually see the v forming by the day(s)...
