the thing is your workload seems really little
and i did read that it's optional, which makes me wonder even more, where's the workload intensity?

just wondering........what's your reasoning and logic behind programming your training this way?

If take off the biceps/triceps its quite little training too. smile.gif. I train everyday split body too and I always do at least 20 sets for one part (except biceps and triceps). I think this i called HVT..correct ar?

HVT usually, hammers one bodypart a day, till that bodypart's so sore it won't move right.

Is it because you're lacking equipment that you're forced to train this way TS? I think in OZ, there are quite a few places where you can find better gyms, just have to pay a bit la. Or you could find places where you can do cross training for compound movements. At least these could give you a good workout. I assume you stand at about.....140LBS?

Maybe you'll find push and pull-ups good too.

Instead of doing it everyday, why not split it into alternate days and do a more intense workout?
Based on your program, I think you ain't gonna see much results. Cuz ur muscles need rest and time to grow, plus if you are using light weights then it'll be pointless.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I usually KO after my training, such as my arms day: barely can bathe myself after that. legs day, cant even do warm down as it will cause cramping. But i like the soreness!! ITS AWESOME. Been on that for 2 months.

Wah, yeah i weigh around there smile.gif. pizzaboy please gimme some insight on what to train next in my journal, afraid of flooding his thread rclxms.gif

Ok this is gonna take a while to reply all but thanks for the criticism.
I don't care how mean you guys are. As long as you're making a point, I'll reply.
That's a very open minded attitude you have there. smile.gif

No need to see your face. Just post a photo without your face lah. =)

If your intention is to gain lean muscles, unless you know what you are doing.... you'd be better served with big lifts like squat and deadlifts, push ups and pull ups... supplemented with isolation exercises (for your arms).

3 hours in the gym? Isn't that a bit excessive? It's like running a marathon.

I read an article somewhere stating that it is best to keep the workout within an hour..

Most routines usually around an hour. Train too long and it will be counter productive. If its 3 hours its either
1) Your resting too long in between sets
2) You're really doing a lot of work, in this case, some just arent necessary

See, now i`m clear on ur heaviness... it is "sets" and not "reps" hehe. Anyway I am not against training biceps and triceps. Don't get me wrong, i have that too if you check my journal smile.gif...good luck mate, so long you know what you are doing and satisfied with your result...by all means...
However, I think it is a good idea to give ur muscle a rest after training it. For instance, I have one day just for arms and it gets really sore the next day too..

Well that's why I said I forego the bicep and tricep trainings altogether on some days. To rest.

Anyway, glad we're clear on it smile.gif

It's the latter.

You see, my workout is like a crash course.
I do it when I feel like it or before I go on holiday or if I was set on doing a job that required me to be shirtless (use your imagination)

So following this plan for 2 months (or so) sees the best results (imho).

Oh and I sometimes I substitute the whey before the workout with creatine so that helps give me that extra push.

The weights aren't light all the time btw. Think of the light weights as fillers (goes back to having that extra push).

I'm back from Oz, btw.

Just haven't gotten around to getting a good gym membership.

But you're quite spot on about the equipment.
