haha, its like having an inside spy in the multi million commercial gym business?

did 70lbs chest press today though , might seem light for you guys but its only the second time i managed to do it haha

got it, will try 10 reps unsupported the next time i do chest. went 70 because i was pretty sure i could do 12 with 66lbs db's so i didnt want to waste a set

here's a question:
approximately how many exercises should i do for each bodypart? trying to create some new routines for arms/legs and maybe tweak a bit at shoulder/chest. looking at all your routines seems to have less exercises compared to mine but more sets per exercise. Please advice thanks!

heh thanks for this, been trying to fit in deadlifts somewhere and i had absolutely no idea when to do it. btw, how many exercises per body part do you recommend doing per session?

dark, may i ask if you do a chest/shoulder split how long would you take usually? because i'm taking like 1.5 hours for one bodypart, so 2 bodypart in a session = 3 hours?

4th set still going strong. amazing!

...wtf lol. pics please if you 2 do it!

...you're totally taking that out of context

chicaman, everyone starts somewhere. its how fast you progress to heavier weights that matters, imho. good luck in the journey ahead!

very nice, dark. looks like my cgbp abit wrong on the form then

anyways, planning a deload week for the upcoming week. how light do i go? my first set weights? or lower than that? my first deloading so i have no idea.

woah, where do you get a prowler? your gym?

reps abit high imo

i go 10-12 too, with the occasional 6-8 . 15 a bit too high for me imo, i'll tend to blast through the first 6 reps or so. if its 10 reps then the timing becomes slower.

....what alienate looks?

hey guys, got a question here. prolly gonna get flamed by you guys though so bear with me

Has anyone experienced phobia with big db's? Cos I recently started lifting the biggest sized db's in my gym and truth be told, I honestly psych myself out when holding them. Now, I'm VERY VERY sure I can lift 72 pounders myself, 3 weeks already for the record but I will still need to have a spotter or I wont even consider lifting them at all. If this keeps up I'm pretty sure my poundages would lag behind. Any way to fix this?

aha..I guess this should be the best way to it

DB Incline Bench.


haha, erase the number or cover it with something before you lift

thats the time i usually think nonsensical things, right before the lift lol. usually in the lines of:

"wtf am i doing?"

guess i need more positive reinforcement lol.

i'll try to answer a few of these:

6 months i think is quite unrealistic. people bb for years to get their figure. its not a crash course, its a lifestyle change

depends on your goal. dont expect too much imho

BB isnt just about training hard. its equal parts of hard training, nutrition and resting. genetics play a huge role too

simple, you train hard on a particular body part and dont do the same intensity on other body parts that body part would be better compared to the rest. genetics play a role too.


a trainer would only help you go the right way. its 90% your own effort imo.

most personal trainers, if not all, earns only by commission based. good luck trying to get one for free though..

why not ask him to join you?

wow, seems a lot of people here have knee problems, myself included =/.

hee, i dont know whats ACL, but i busted both my knees from basketball during my younger days. To the point when I land down after a jump both my knees will get very sharp pains. Its better now, since I play at most once or twice a week, and run more than i jump . Gymming definitely helps me fill up the void from bball.
