Sorry for the quality, lousy camera.

Looking good from the front. But you're seriously lacking back width. More rows and wide grip pulldowns. Not enough protein for breakfast. Add in dextrose to your post workout shake, 2 tablespoons. Have a prebedtime meal too.

2) Dumbbell triceps extension 12 X 5~ 10 Sets

Trying to increase my cardio to around 5 days a week each 30 minutes. The reason I did gradient 15% and speed 7km/h is because this is the most calories i get from the machine. I have tried doing 7.5km/h it shows lesser calories burnt. 30 minutes, i burnt 400++ kcal. Calculated by machine la.

Supplement: MT Nitro-tech, Syntrax 5.0 Matrix, BSN Cellmass, ON Whey, ON 100% Casein

Where's your leg day? And drop body combat on training day. Don't even think of doing it on the day you do weight training.

Here upon request. First off, congrats on the great progress. Glad to see another HVT trainee. =) My comments on your back workout. Ditch one of the pulldowns. The back is a large muscle group and you need to hit it with different angles with different exercises, wide grip, narrow grip, horizontal and vertical rowing movements.
Learn the mind muscle connection. The weight does not matter, it will not matter if you don't get the form right. When doing any form of pulling, remember, use your arms only as hooks. Pull with your elbows, not with your arms. Learn to visualize this mind muscle connection. Feel your back working, squeeze the lats at the end of every positive phase of the movement. Especially with rowing movements, for example cable rows, make sure your shoulders roll back at the end of the positive phase of the rep. Contract the back muscles.

If you want, i can take a workout video of me doing cable or machine rows for you, that' way you'll know what i'm talking about.

So, again, ditch one of the pulldowns, keep the wide grip lat pulldown to the front, pull it towards your upper chest, roll shoulders back, don't just pull the weight down. Stick your chest out at the end of the movement. Ditch the db rows, go for cable rows or barbell rows to replace that. I don't recommend Pendlay rows, Terry says they're a waste of time. Add shrugs (bb or db variety) at the end of your workout. I suggest investing in a pair of wrist straps.

sorry for replying late. I was outstation and will not be able to train for the next week as well..sad.gif.

greatly appreciate your advise and please do share me any videos on proper ways of executing the exercises.

btw, u mentioned doing cable rows, how shud i positioned my body? besides, arent barbell row similar to pendlay row?

will keep an eye on wrist straps too!

what are you training for chest? my chest workout is always bench incline, bench flat and flys and its getting a bit boring...any comments?

nonetheless, really appreciate your help!!

Cable rows are done seated. I'll take an instructional video for you on Tuesday.

My chest workout consists of Incline db presses, Incline Smith machine presses, flat dumbell bench press, barbell bench press, machine chest presses.

Pick any 3 of the above. Do not do all! Lol.

Then i finish it off with 4 sets of isolation exercises such as cable crossovers or db flys.
