olla guys,
quickie question! usually when u guys meant x=sets,y=reps does it mean total of the workout per session? if i manage to pull it off somehow less than 20mins for the total sets and reps, do u think i need to add a few more pounds? dunno why but when it comes to lifting weights it always end-up early..hehehhe..unless cardio..

here is my newbie log and info,

height=176cm
weight=75-78kg (festive season might raise to 80kg, semester break will be definitely 80kg).
waist=33(us) dunno exact measure but that is the size of jean im wearing and it kinda loose nowadays after i start diet and exercise regularly.

my training consist a day on and off, depends on the mood to be exact.

starting with cardio treadmill or cycling around an hour which burn around 300 calories.
take 3mins of rest then continue again with:

db bench press- 12 3x 10reps.
db bicep curl-10 3x 10reps.
db shoulder press- 10 3x 10reps.
power partials-10 2x 10reps.
standing db upright row-10 3x 10reps.
seated db wrist curl-10 3x 10reps.

goal is no more saggy boobs and belly, actually it not that saggy just want it to be in well define shape.

The sets and reps are different for different types of exercises, I think, and 20 mins is a bit too short IMO, maybe you're doing them too quick, remember to contract and feel the muscle you're working on, maybe like 3 secs from start to apex, then 2 secs go back down to starting position something like that, no point swinging weights that are too heavy using momentum or anything like that.

For me, the weights part of my workout takes close to 45 mins - 1 hour, compared to my cardio of 20 mins sooo it's either your exercises are too little or you're doing it them too quickly. And wait, 1 hour of cardio? O_O that's a bit too long for me.. I do my cardio just to warm up

And I can see that you are hitting all your body parts in every workout? For me, I do separate muscle groups each day, making sure to hit every one of them at least once weekly. If you do the same routine everyday, your muscle adapts and the workout becomes less effective. Swap them around to shock your muscles, and it's a good idea to only do 1-2 muscle groups in a day because you get to let them rest for few days to grow and repair while you're hitting other muscle groups.

E.g. you can follow the program I'm following, it guides you on a day-to-day basis. Kris Gethin's 12 Weeks Transformation Program

yeah about the muscle and contract thing, i watch the video on the net but i cant count the reps and monitor/control my body movements simultaneously..wtf, is it normal?

i do extra miles for cardio in hoping that i can loose more weight faster man. plus didn't enjoy much doing lifting, cardio kinda relax though even when my heart is racing still can push it through the limit somehow. when it comes to lifting dunno man i try to push it as much i want but it wasn't pleasure as doing cardio.
hence i think i need to do cardio on daily basis until i get my boobs and belly back to normal.

thanks for the links brah, i will follow him but do u take the supplement as the vid recommend? i do have hydroxycut though and it doesnt have any effect on me. felt nothing even when i take it two before workout. and i only take those pills when i train else wont eat it. plus my diet isn't much healthier i only eat 2 times a day some pasta,middle-east or indian food. do u think i need those multivitamins or pre/post workout supplement? and im pretty sure if i follow his supplement list it gonna bang my thin wallet so damn hard. i wonder if the supplement works on him will works on me too.

this might sound a bit harsh, but if you dont like doing weights, why do it? and for your routine, after every set are you even out of breath?

if you wanna do weights, go all out. its just gonna be a waste of time otherwise.


edit: i dont know if you guys have seen this thread, but . i literally had nothing to reply with.

wow, that. wow

brah, did u read the stickies? if not i suggest u go read it then you shot us a question or two...

running aint gonna give me a decent body brah. starting to think that im doing this wrongly, no man not out of breath at all just power to lift the weight decreasing that all. do u suggest i go get a trainer or something?

@Alphaproject yeah read some for the nutrition part and link-o-rama.

Then you're not doing enough weights wise. Your set would probably take me an 45mins to an hour for me to do, and I'll be knackered afterwards. Get a program like starting strength, read the workout stickies and browse through some of the workout journals and you'll see what I'm talkiing about. If you want to get a trainer its up to you.

Anybody wanna grab some weights?

Pics or gtfo.



Honestly you would get better response from the love doctors at the cupid section haha. Lots of relationship experts there. My take on it would be asking her out and emphasizing its your treat, as in you would pay for dinner or whatnot. And dress like a 30 y.o when you do go out with her

Social stigma is a b****. Probably the reason why she keeps reminding you of your age.

That said, may I ask WHY you're doing this? What's wrong with girls your age?

I'm a 24 year old grandfather. I'm pretty sure I can think a lot wiser than that lady.

But yeah, i concur with mike. PICS OR GTFO. NOW.

woah ! u married young !

nah, i just behave like an old crackpot at times. I don't nag, I just behave wiser and more strict than most of my friends I know at my age.

And sometimes I just end up being a clown among them.

and his child married damn f***in young too

dont wanna go to cupids corner la..those fellas damn serious..scary

im doing this cause i have a thing for cougars..add to the fact she doesnt look her age..her lips and teddies...fuuuuaaarrr

might be staying over at her place tmrw night..the perks of working out..

had a great workout session with chris today at FF curve. too bad pedro couldnt join us .

2 main reasons!

oh well, lol.
customary PWO shots
