To Pizza,
I have been to gym for about 3 months now, i have seen growth for both biceps and triceps and for my leg, such as the thigh and so on. But i cant see any significance improvement on my chest and abs. As for my abs i have been doing sit ups previously of 150 where 1 set i did 50 x 3sets = 150. After some time i have converted to abs bench abdominal where there is weight on it so that i could put more pressure on my abs. Again i cant really see the results, so could you give some recommendations.
My Height is 171cm and Weight is 53kg.
First things first, if you're following a system by a trained professional, or a strength coach or something, then great.
But, if you're using a programme, that you built up on your own, without much help and guidance from outside sources, I suggest ditching that programme and follow the Rippetoe Starting Strength Workout programme.
It's excellent for people who have just started. I did my own workouts for a few months, didn't help much at all. No system. Now with this, I'm starting to notice gains in strength, even on my first week. Well actually, this isn't the first week, but, i'll get back to taht later.
Just do a google search on it.
As for your chest, eat more. At 171CM/53KG's, you're a lil too light. They'll grow, only if they have enough food. Abs=Cut that flab. Can be done later......now, bulk up.
Okay, as of yesterday workout.
FIRST WEEKExcercise:Repetitions:Weight(LBS)
Squat 5 69
5 87
5 104
5 104
Incline Bench 5 70
5 83
5 97
5 111
Deadlift 5 103
5 124
5 144
5 165
3 sets of sit-ups, 10 reps, with the method carlsuen suggested earlier. Only difference is I didn't hold on so long.
I'll say that this was pretty easy, but since it's just the first week, I'll shut up first. Hehehe.....
Since I can add other compound excercises, I think next week, I'll add pull-ups to Wednesdays.
