Okay this is my first workout journal so I'm not sure what to add in here.

Day 1:
Bicep curls 21 [5-6 reps]
Tricep extensions [4-6 reps]
Sit ups [5 reps]
Leg lifts [3 reps]
Butterfly press [5-7 reps]
Chest pull [2-3 reps]
Cardio [150 calories at least]

I dont see how heavy ur training is, how many sets do you do per exercise? I only see reps

btw, it is ok if you do not rest ur biceps or triceps as u only train 5~6 reps per day. I strongly suggest you to train more sets and rest it for a day.
Besides, when is ur leg day?

On a side note: 5~6 reps or 5~6 sets? Is it a typo? I
MHO, why not u accumulate all the "5~6reps of arms workout" in a week and do ALL OF it in a single day? I think it will be better than stretching/spreading it throughout the week with 5~6 reps per day.

I in fact think it is good to add in arms training if you want it. But of course it is always not easy to gain muscles on the arms alone.
I seriously don't see the "HEAVY-NESS" in his training.

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..

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.

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

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