i have been training on toning & gain weight since December with a PT.
i noticed my arms got firm, and 2 vertical lines on the 2 sides of my abs.
i think... my strength is improved... but very little, when my PT increase the weight i.e. if normally do like 5-10kg, if she gives me 15kg >i may as well die!

am i improving too slow? it may due to when i travel 1-2weeks in 1 month and i stop completely

also... wat exercise i need to do so that i can do the "real" push-up (pumping on the floor) I still only can do like, 5 on my knees... very admire ppl who has enough strength to do it only with hands!

am so hungry for strength!!!

Read about the topic we were discussing about on pause training. Pause at the weakest positions then slowly descend. Then reset again. My client was unable to complete a single FULL push-up in November when we began. Today she cranks out 12 full ones without a problem. And she does that for another 4 sets, and all this was via pause-slow descend techniques. She is now beginning to embark onto pull-ups, in which I'm using the same method as well. Pause at the highest position and roll in the shoulders and hold for as long as possible. She does numerous sets of three reps and today is able to do 4 reps of half pull-ups (she pulls up when the arm hits 90 degrees) Slowly we're aiming to make it a full straight arm pull-up.

Your PT should teach you ways to train when you're travelling. Things such as push-ups and burpees, squats and leg raises. All these simple and effective exercises can be used when you're travelling around.

drool.gif PM me quotation & location

and btw... i google pause training , so it's call rest-pause training.. blur* dunno wat it says&mean too many fitness terms yea?

Start with a weight where I hit momentary muscular failure around 4-8 reps. >HUH?

Rack the weight and take 10-20 second break. >HUH?!?!

Unrack it for part two and perform a few more reps to failure. >HUH?!?!?Wat?

i know am a bum tat only rely on my PT saying "do this, 12345678910,54321" blush.gif
