Why not chest with tricep? Your tricep involve more in your chest workout. Bicep with back.

IMO, beginner should start something like SL 5X5 to improve strength first before go into isolation exercises.

the only thing that matters for building muscle is gaining strength, no?

Correct me if Im wrong.

Hey guys, i have a question.

After a deadlift exercise, do any of you feel some kind of soreness at your back? NOT pain or sharp pain..just one kind of soreness at your middle back bone area.

After rest for an hour, soreness is gone.

Really want to know what does that mean.

After a couple of sets then i feel it. Everytime i do deadlift workout. Ohh btw, i do squats first..after other exercises i will arrive to deadlift.

I'm thinking its because i tried tooooo much in straightening my back/torso while doing, to prevent my back from bending forward due to the heavy lift.

I did SL 5X5 too but stopped after i finished the 12th week. Started to do 3 days split then. Even when I'm doing split workouts, I increase my lift 2.5kg in each workout.

I did add some extra workouts. Some chest exercises in Workout A(BB bench press day), some shoulder exercises in Workout B(OHP day).

How much is that? 12 bars in a package?

lol what happen? where was your shake? always put a banana or an apple in your gym bag just incase. bread will do the work too so that your body wont use protein for energy...simple carbs..hahaa take note for beginners about this 30mins thingy.

lol my bad!

Play badminton/ tennis?

Dont think you need to do so. Stick to 7kg both, lets say your left arm can only do 10 reps max in 1 set, do only 10 reps for the right too(eventhou you feel you can do more than 10 reps).

I have been playing badminton for 13 years before i started weight training, so you can imagine how my right arm is compare to my left. My left is catching up right now.

Thats my way..maybe the big fellas here will have other ways.

Well if you are worry, maybe you should try to use machines for chest at the early stage.

Do free weights tend to cause this ''1 side bigger than the other'' if you are using the wrong techniques. Better if you have an experienced gym partner.

Ohh lol everyone has to start from somewhere, am I right? Usually those big hunks in the gym dont give a damn about others. So just do what you got to do.

Push up is a great exercise. Make sure to do various kind of push ups. Standard push up, wide push up, diamond push up, incline and decline..make sure you hit all parts of your chest. If you are already in the advance stage, try to do clapping push up front and back.

Keep you arms and body balance btw. If not, 1 big 1 small.

lol he has his own opinion, let him.

Welcome..Hahaa I'm lucky to have friends around to give advices, just sharing what gained. Still learning...

Find your self confidence and hit the gym one day. You can do much more there.

Hopefully it will motivate you more. They might be your laughing stock one day. 65-70kg is a good range for your height. Keep eating clean.

For legs, maybe with your condition you can do bodyweight squat and lunge. Hold your arms straight in front for more challenging squats. Use the chair or bench to do step-up.

This is true once your bodyweight is sup sup sui to you. I like to use my housemate's dog as an extra weight.

strong fella! haha I dont know when I can ask someone to sit on my back. lol

No offense but since when push up is not a body building exercise?

True but one cannot deny push up is not a muscle building exercise whether it will be very effective or not, am I right?
