I know it's not a hardcore bodybuilding site but LYN has impressed me a lot and has a potential to develop more in the fitness section. And there are quite a few avid weightlifters around like iDk, FleshWound, Malaysianpotato, pizzaboy, etc etc. For example, each one creates a journal log as a topic and update it every now and then. We don't have to make our logs a sticky, it's just for our own interests, something like an online journal. For example, how a back day went like, rep/set scheme, poundage, the occassional video of us doign a lift so we can all critique each other's form and technique. Just a suggestion. I'm game for it, but i'm not starting a journal alone. It would be good if some regulars started one at the same time with me.

I need more space to write stuff here... Elite 2,816 posts Joined: May 2006	lol i'm not an avid weight lifter i just work out to stay in decent shape. i dont actually do all that much weights, more bodyweight exercises than anything else... i do pretty much the same thing everyday... so i guess i'll just post my routine? i run every monday to friday in the mornings before breakfast, usually on a treadmill for 30 minutes, i run outdoors on occasion but its more fun to watch the tv while i run... i usually get between 3-8 miles a day, depends alot on how my knee feels. i do weights in the evening/at night usually after dinner, time depends on whatever time i finish dinner. 80pushups 20/20/20/20 80situps "" "" 48pullups 12/12/12/12 120 bicep curls 20lbs dumbells 30/30/30/30 100 squats 25/25/25/25 (with the 2 20lbs dumbells, thats the heaviest i have atm... i'm too lazy to go get heavier weights) i do sets of each exercise in a circle starting with pushups then situps then pullups the squats then bicep curls and go round and round till i finish all 4 sets of each and thats about it. i have a martial arts practice routine which i go through a few times every morning and night. i would do more lower body work but since i run every day i figure, meh screw it relatively light workout routine compared to what many others here do, but it works for me and gets me to where i want to be in terms of body and such. eta: i have a question, do you guys who lift weights have a certain goal you want to reach? or do you just keep going and going? also great idea on the training log thing, would be nice to see what everyone else does and getting advice on different methods would be interesting aswell. eta2: stupid me 12x4 =/= 50 This post has been edited by malaysianPotato: Jul 11 2006, 12:21 AM

Getting Started Junior Member 76 posts Joined: Apr 2006	I stopped recording my workout nowadays since there isn't much variety to it. here's one left that i luckily sent to my mailbox before my harddisk crashes and brought all my precious with it. (oh my japanese pr0n) Will start a new journal as soon as I'm finished with the current cycle with my senior. (No legs workouts and childish remarks after each workout, try not to flame) QUOTE("Last year's June workout journal") Monday - 20 June 2005 Benchpress Incline 1x8 - 11.5kgx2 Incline 2x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kgx2 Machine 1x8 - 9 plates Machine 2x8 - 10 plates Flat 1x8 - 11.5kgx2 Flat 2x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kgx2 Lats Machine Pulldown 1x8 - 7 plates Pulldown 2x8 - 8 plates Row 1x8 - 8 plates Row 2x8 - 9 plates Wednesday - 22 June 2005 Military Press Barbell 1x8 - 4.5kgx2 Barbell 2x8 - 4.5kg+4.5kgx2 Machine 1x8 - 8 plates Machine 2x8 - 9 plates Arms Curls EZ Curl 1x8 - 4.5kg+4.5kgx2 EZ Curl 1x5 - 11.5kgx2 EZ Curl 1x2 - 11.5kgx2 Hammer 1x8 - 4.5kgx2 Hammer 1x8 - 4.5kg+1.15kgx2 Friday - 24 June 2005 Benchpress Flat 1x8 - 11.5kgx2 Flat 1x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kgx2 Flat 1x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kg+1.15kgx2 Flat 2x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kg+1.15kg+1.15kgx2 Triceps Pushdown 1x4 - 4 plates Pushdown 1x10 - 5 plates Pushdown 2x8 - 6 plates Lats Machine BTN Pull 1x8 - 8 plates BTN Pull 3x8 - 9 plates Row 1x8 - 8 plates Row 3x8 - 9 plates Remarks: Back was still sore from Wednesday's military press. Monday's fatigue from back workout has accumulated with Wednesday's workout. Not enough recovery. Benchpress was good. Left the bench underperformed and energetic. Recovery was pretty good. Monday - 27 June 2005 Benchpress Flat 2x6 - 11.5kg+11.5kgx2 Flat 1x8 - 11.5kg+11.5kgx2 Incline 3x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kgx2 Flat 1x5 - 11.5kg+4.5kg+4.5kg+4.5kgx2 Decline 1x8 - 11.5kgx2 Decline 1x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kgx2 Decline 1x8 - 11.5kg+4.5kg+4.5kgx2 Lats Machine (Fixed path) Row 1x8 - 8 plates Row 1x8 - 9 plates Lats Machine (cable) Row 1x8 - 8 plates Row 1x8 - 10 plates (poor form) Row 3x10 - 9 plates Remarks: Rode the overcompensation phase! Woohoo! Shoulders started to hurt after first set of incline, will probably skip Wednesday's shoulder workout. Started flat benchpressing my new PR at 2 11.5kg plates per side without warming up. Was only able to do 6 reps for the first 2 sets but somehow was able to push 8 reps without much hard effort on the 3rd set. I stopped right then and there for fear of overfatiguing myself. I pulled 10 plates of the row thinking that I might not be recovered fully but somehow pulling 9 plates become easier. Woohoo! Double whammy. Frequent meals rock my socks. Wednesday - 29 June 2005 Military Press Machine 1x8 - 8 plates Machine 1x8 - 9 plates Barbell 1x8 - 4.5kgx2 Barbell 1x8 - 4.5kg+4.5kgx2 (horrible form) Barbell 1x8 - 4.5kg+1.15+1.15x2 (poor form) Barbell 1x8 - 4.5kgx2 Barbell 2x8 - 4.5kg+1.15kgx2 Lats Machine Row 2x10 - 9 plates Row 3x8 - 10 plates Pulldown 1x8 - 7 plates Pulldown 1x8 - 8 plates Pulldown 1x7 - 9 plates Triceps Pushdown 1x8 - 5 plates Pushdown 4x8 - 6 plates Remarks: Shoulder workout sucks. Slight pain on the right shoulder when I do my first set on the machine. Was very unstable when I did my barbell military press. Very forced rep during all the sets heavier than 4.5+1.15kgx2. Hate it. Must be still recovering from Monday's incline. The decision to have shoulder workout on Friday is right. But back was recovered sooner than I expect. What turns out to be hard on Monday turns out to be too easy today. With only 2 days rest, my back is fully recovered to set a new PR. All workouts involving the shoulder displays how immobile my shoulder really is. Plan: Deload chest, back and shoulder on Friday. Restart cycle again. Friday - 1 July 2005 Bench Press Flat 1x5 - 11.5kgx2 Flat 1x5 - 11.5kg+4.5kgx2 Flat 1x5 - 11.5kg+4.5kg+4.5kgx2 Flat 1x5 - 11.5kg+4.5kg+4.5kg+1.15kgx2 Flat 2x5 - 11.5kg+4.5kg+4.5kg+1.15kg+1.15kgx2 Triceps Pushdown 1x8 - 5 plates Pushdown 1x10 - 6 plates Lats Machine Row 1x6 - 8 plates Row 1x6 - 10 plates Row 1x6 - 11 plates Row 1x8 - 11 plates Row 1x6 - 11 plates Remarks: I didn't deload as planned. Bench strength remains constant. Miscalculation, would have gone heavier if I know I'm benching less than 2 11.5kg. But I underperformed, leaving much to be desired. Shoulder pain is still there. Improved my rows again, but I performed too many reps in a single week. I should stop. Skipping next Monday's gym.
