25, turning 26 soon, too old to be that stupid
but i just started gym last dec and dedicated this april/may.

You call this dedication? Stop making a fool out of yourself here. Don't say the terms confuse you. Some simple beginner's article at bb.com will already clear things up for you the first few times you read it. Utter BS.

You're turning 26. Stop humiliating yourself in a public forum, brother.

We've people 18 yrs old down here that are laughing at you, not with you. Seriously, do some reading. REAL reading. Or at least youtube videos of people deadlifting, bench pressing and squatting.

I actually kinda feel bad for you. Your positivity is something worthy of praise. Your constant tripping and then self parody, isn't.

ok la, i think i shall disappear already...scary..
from dono till bit know, till semangat bt now...

anyway thanks for the advise given.

It's not a goal until you set a time limit bro.

a goal..u go check out in the member workout journals, thats what call a goal

Dude, I did biceps curl for a freaking year 5x a week.
Results: ZERO. Thankfully I also did lots of push ups and up right rows, so at least my delts were 'quite developed' compared to the rest of my skinny frame.

Do the compound exercises then the last 10 minutes, you can bicep curl and sit up and etc.

Dude, not asking you to disappear lah. Just asking you to stop becoming noober with each post you put up.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Maybe you just don't get it. Or maybe there are too many opinions here and it confuses the heck out of you.
Most guys here expected that you gain more knowledge as they gave you links to read and suggested exercises you should focus on.
Then you come around and gave us another huge mind fxck.

Easier, you could just follow some guy's journal (routine and diet) here. I wouldn't mind training you in person, but typing everything out behind the comp sucks especially when every new person comes in here and blurts out the same old things.

hahaa...seriously..i dont think he is coming back...

Anyway, welcome to body building world and hope you do learn and gain result in the future.
Perhaps make friends in your gym, and perhaps some will teach you the correct way.
Good luck!

Mark Rippetoe is an incredible coach.

Of course this is the normal bodies. You got certain bodies must change change.

Good video, another thing I like to point out is, you do the thinking away from the bar. once you reach the bar, all you think about is a good setup, tight back, big chest and the most critical thing is to have a single point of focus to make sure you have a good arch. It is easier when you are on lightweights, 160kg etc, when you hit 190,200...you will finally know where is your weakness.

Most people deadlift with a buckled back, this is due to a weak setup and another tip is to NEVER EVER DEADLIFT FACING A MIRROR, always FACE AWAY FROM THE MIRROR. Why so? People tend to look at themselves in the mirror and start looking at their grip, their leg position etc etc, this would result into a bad setup, and thats when people start off their deadlift with a buckled back.

Aggression when deadlifting is totally fine. I personally keep it in the head. I don't go shouting "CMON MOTHAF@CKER! LETS DO IT". Minimize verbal aggression as you walk towards the bar, maintain composure and mental aggression, get a good grip, back tight, head up, big chest and pull.

Look at deadlifts as a squat but the only difference is you are using your hands. Be a machine, avoid other unnecessary movements.

When we talk about reps on deadlifting, there are 2 types of repping methods.

1. Touch and Go

Touch and go is a simple clean touch without a complete pause in between reps. The only issue with this is people tend to bounce the weights off the ground and not completely resetting after every rep therefore the other reps beside the 1st one will look like a stiff leg deadlift which defeats the purpose of a conv. deadlift. The advantage of a TNG deadlift is that this deadlift allows some sort of an overload compared to the Full Reset.

2. Full Reset

A full reset is a little different, You have a complete pause approx few seconds in between reps but you dont release your grip. The thing about this Full Reset Deadlift is that it allows you to have a complete reset setup, so that you don't loose the arch and tightness on your back compared to the Touch and Go deadlift. This doesn't allow as much overload compared to TNG deadlifts. One thing that you have to remember on a FR deadlift, don't drop the bar without any control in between every rep, slow and steady or the bar might just end up in a different spot after every rep.

Grips have been quite a controversial issue. Some people do a mix grip all the time. I mainly use a regular double overhand grip with straps, heck I use straps most of the time. I only use a mixed grip on days that I would like to pull a rep maximum. There have been some talk about using a mix grip all the time but it will effect your shoulder development in terms of balance etc. How true is that? I personally am not sure. Using straps allow more load, saves your palm a little bit from the callus.

Never neglect accessory work and always remember in training, Low reps demonstrate strength, High reps improves strength. To all new trainees out there, don't repeat the same mistake I did. Volume/Bodybuilding work is important.

Sometimes people say," Deadlift, just lift the bar ". Look at it in a more technical point of view and you might just add 10-20kg in no time



w/r

shanecross.. thankss for the tips...

Hi everyone i am back. Hehe hopefully not one would say I am thick face cz already said wanna leave yet still retracted and came back.

This time not going to say what i did today untill i get my exercise right . Spent 15 mins observing what ppl did in the gym, particularly the "hardcore" area. Dont think i wanna go to mv anymore as the place is always full of ppl and when they work out they will occupy kao kao and even taking a long break (normally 2-5 mins, gossiping talk) they are still not willing to let others to use. I, not being fit enough, am not daring to say I wanna share with them, dont wan that they give me the shitty look.

May head off to bangsar one, tried yesteday, ard 8pm not many ppl. Hopefully there are not many on everyday.

Thanks for the offer. Where do u work out? FF? Actually, for me, if i am allowed to tag around you, observe what you do enough already. Cz i dont like the feeling of "peeping" someone, scared ppl may think I am crazy haha. for you. I appreciate that very much.

Oh lol, I now use my uni's gym. Nottingham at Broga, Semenyih. Only has a pair of 20kg and 10kg dumbbells, squat rack and a few benches for bench press. I only go there like once or twice a week for squats, benchpress overhead presses and rows cuz I don't have a barbell at home.

oh so u only work out twice a week?
ur uni's gym how to coach me wor

Err no. 4-5 times a week. I workout at home. I didn't mean it literally, as a comparison with typing out the answers to all ur questions, might as well go see someone do it, which is easier.

Ic meaning i can ask whatever stupid questions i wan and will not be tembak ?

U gona kena tembak by asking this question haha
