if you're following a program, usually it would be written if the weights are ramped up or not. if its not stated for me i usually assume its not ramped.

and if you're 1 rep max is 40kgs i doubt you can do 8 reps with 37.5kgs..

the author for the routine im following included this bit at the start

now you got me thinking haha. assuming its 8 sets i dont think its ramped. ramped sets usually at most ive seen before is 5 sets only. 8 set i think follows GVT a bit, which means all the weights are not ramped.

well, im still only assuming heh.

i suppose you encountered this problem while doing concentration curl.

so here's my suggestion.

you perform the exercise with your weaker hand first,

then the other hand perform as many reps as the weaker hand does. Same weight.

strengthen the weaker hand and at the same time maintain the power of the other hand

hope it helps smile.gif

i dont see how you concluded he was doing concentration curls.. but the advice is spot on though. do the same amount of reps for each hand. be patient, as you get stronger your strength imbalance would sort itself out.

haha, i guess all of us gets the wtf stuff from other guys in the gym. i've gotten my share of weird looks when i take a serving of creatine before workout (take the creatine powder straight up and wash it down with cold water).

Oh, and whey protein giving you 'fake' muscles.

Mel, you should be proud that people are accusing you of steroids. You know you've put in the effort, fark care what other people think.

guys
they say its no good to change your routine haphazardly in a short period of time
i.e. if one starts with program A, one should stick to what is in program A
but if say in program A, you've started your leg routine with say, leg press, and next week u play legs, u start with leg curl or stiff leg DL, will it kacau ke?
just wanna know
*
well normally i would follow the sequence of the routine i am currently on. following your example, say for the first week your leg press max is 250kg for 6 reps. Then for the second week you do a different exercise first before moving to leg press. i really doubt you can pull of the same max poundage you did for the first week.

following the same sequence allows you to take note of your progress week by week. but if you're training without keeping track i guess its no harm.

guys, rite now im having a medical condition and the doctor asked me to stop any practice or form of sports for 1 month!! i wonder how should i adjust my diet, as im afraid that i will lose my years built muscle =(

should i continue taking my protein?

lower your carbs, and calories. imo you dont need to take your whey everyday, just eat healthy. do some light exercises instead? one month is a short time, there wont be much muscle loss anyways

I've been wondering about this for a month now, does any of you here like got used to the soreness so much that you barely feel them anymore?

Because I always train to failure for every set, yea sure, at that moment, after the workout I feel that body part going absolutely berserk in burn and into exhaustion. But nowadays, I rarely get the kind of soreness I got months back, where I would be sore for the days. I can barely feel my back go sore anymore, my chest and triceps probably just one day. Initially my legs still feel sore after I train them, for a few days. Now even the quads barely feel them and only my hamstring remains sore now.

What the heck is this? Is this common?


Added on May 26, 2011, 9:44 ammainly I can feel the soreness at my biceps, hamstrings and at times my traps and thats it. Other parts like the pecs, the shoulders(i can barely feel anything here), back(nothing), calves(Nothing).

I don't know if I should be too concerned about feeling sore or not. Just out of curiosity that's all.

My stack consists of BSN whey, AST Multivit, Xtend, EAS L-Glutamine and EAS Creatine. Any factors?

body adaptation. try changing up your routine for a few weeks and see how it goes. can be volume work, heavy sets, dropsets, etc etc

thanks alot.. although i've lost 3kg since my hospitalisation! like 2 weeks.. actually my plan was like lower carb intake, but protein lower just a bit.. is it okay? i think that way it'll be like 1800 calories per day for me
*
well, you're lowering carbs and calories so that you dont get fat. unused muscles are bound to be wasted, so if you're not even able to do some light exercises, i guess you just have to bounce back in a months time. even if you keep your protein ratio the same, if its not burned off as energy its still not going to be of much use in the end.

switching things usually add poundages or TUT or volume or change the sequence of the routine?

imo, lots of things you can change. different exercises, and like u mentioned, poundages, volume etc. but sequence of routine i dont think is 'switching it up'. you're basically doing the same thing if thats the case right?
