yeah, swimming is not a intense excercise laugh.gif
i will only swim at low pace
i am just a beginer, Total Body 1st, after few weeks, will move into Split body smile.gif

It is ur wish to do total body or split body. The reason i recommend split body is because i find it more effective on me.I tried total body and realized that i do not know how to properly trigger the correct muscles which results in wrong training. Training is about urself on which u think suits u, this is my thinking la, u can keep trying and see which is the best smile.gif

Well, as an egg lover, as long as there's egg in it, everything will taste perfect. I was bored with plain chicken with bread, and I did omelet with strips of chicken!!! Nice!

I think you are doing too light and too little. I am curious on whether is it difficult for u to complete your entire workout? Well, I do not know how strong you are but your weights used are a bit too light. However, I am no one to judge on that too.

Just my 2 cents la, I think it is a bit too light. My definition of workout is really working out where I really have to use strength to complete it. How do I know if i did workout? I will feel the soreness and muscle tightening after the workout and sometimes the sore can last for a few days.

I THINK a lot of people are working out the wrong way ( I may not be right), they are exercising instead of working out. Eg, I used to workout by doing pushups, but I dont do it now as my body weight is not sufficient to "trigger" the muscles and I call the pushups cardio exercises haha. (well, unless u are doing some 100 reps of pushups). Some of them are not even growing and it is not the food they take, but it is the effort and how hard they push. If you dont push, u wont gain.

I am not trying to flame.....2 cents worth..

I think this is a good article, and I planned my workout based on this fellow Armin "biggest arms" Scholz

"Do not focus on the weights you will lift, they do not matter. Instead your goal should be to pump up your arms to a point where they are so saturated with blood that they have temporarily lost all flexibility and you can’t even reach for the back of your head anymore."<--- this is what happens after my workout

yeah, thanks for the talk,it's helps

yap, it might be to too light for others, BUT i am just a beginner, as you can see i am slowly adding more poundage

and yeah, every of my workout did made me feel the soreness after the workout and sore for few days
and i having a bad form of few workout, so i don''t wanna put heavy weight until i got a good form

and i done it at Home, i dont feel like going to gym,  wink.gif

more comment is welcomed wub.gif

Take pictures of yourself to track if you are growing or not. That is the best way to see if the effect of your workout. If you don't see any changes then you should do something:). Just keep your training as long as you know what you are doing. It is good that you are increasing the weights. Yeah, it is very important to workout at a good and correct form. If you dont, you might train it the wrong way the worst if you injured yourself. Keep testing and trying to find something that suits you. I tried full-body workout but I don't really like it:). Good luck mate...

hmm, i dont feel that. in fact, i never try stretching my arms after i workout to see if they can touch each other. but most of the time, after an intense workout, my muscles are like pulling each other, very tight. it's very obvious for arms, especially biceps and forearm. i can feel that blood pumping into them and my elbow doesnt stay in straight if i dont force it to become straight. for quads, abs, traps, shoulder they feel like burning for a short period.

I like that feeling.....hard muscles... hahah..

If your goal is really strength than you have to ignore this. thats why its important to periodize, if you're new to training than there's a high chance you'll mess things up and achieve little if you try to train for two goals at once. Unless you really understand the science behind it, diet and training etc etc, best you focus on one first.

and my point was never based on your poundages. its more on your workload and choice of exercises
but if all of it is performed at home than i guess that explains it

If you wanna get a better idea for your training try reading Maximum strength by Eric Cressey, i got it at borders, it's simplified so beginners can understand it

Thanks Jib,

btw, can you elaborate more on "periodize"?
Besides, what are the difference between strength and muscle training?
Yeah I am new....

haha, gas tank, if i did so, i will be killed by my housemate tongue.gif
but that is a good idea laugh.gif

i only have 2 dumbell with me now, 10kg and 15kg, both is adjustable plate.
my squat is still weak, max i think around 20kg with 10rep

i am thinking to buy a barbell, been using DB to deadlift...it's annoying....the plate disturbing my movement
last time i saw carefour selling around RM80-90

Where do u live? Join a gym~ rclxms.gif brows.gif alto i prefer working out at home, but there are more varieties in the gym and i do not have to be afraid that i might break my parquet at home smile.gif.
anyway, go get more plates rather than a barbell for now...you can try deadlift by putting the db besides ur legs if i`m not wrong.

i think i can lift heavier for deadlift, but not squat..my leg was shaking during last few rep...lol perhaps too much rep.

I am the other way, i can squat heavier than deadlift, i feel weird going deadlift hence i am not doing it now hahaha...
