seeing u train ur arm with crazily heavy workload almost everyday, i think u must have gigantic arms. can show us ur nice result in 2 months?
i think u can keep ur privacy by just showing ur arms.

I'm on a break from the heavy workout now.

But I'll be back on it in 2 to 3 weeks time. How about I post it up 2 months after then?

Tell you what, I'll pm you when the pic is up smile.gif

whats the heaviest u can squat? u dont deadlift?
*
Just regular powerlifting squats with 40 pounds on each side.

I don't focus much on squatting so i don't really challenge myself, but if I were to give a rough estimate, a little over 80 pounds?

p.s. I said the workload is heavy, not the weights.

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.

QUOTE(Sp00kY @ Jul 17 2008, 11:48 AM)
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.
*
Yeah I got them confused.

The "reps" and the "sets".

Edited.


QUOTE(jones007 @ Jul 17 2008, 11:49 AM)
doing bicep curl and tricep extension is not a smart thing to do.

no srsly
*
I've been doing that for 2 to 3 years as of today.

And yeah, I got that comment a couple of times. But I guess I'm going to have add the exact weights in soon so you can get a better idea of what I'm doing.

Cheers.


QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Jul 17 2008, 12:01 PM)
No offence, but I was seriously thinking of something high volume and heavy when U call this strict and crazy heavy.  I saw all bicep curls and stuff. I don't know but I really don't know how intense you can get with bicep curls.
Furthermore you're bound to overtrain your arms.

But okay lar, people tend to defend their routines with their lives only to find mistakes with them eventually, so I won't say much. biggrin.gif
Good luck finding results with your current template.
*
Well I guess you didn't read the part where I said the biceps and triceps part is optional and the part where there are many times where I just forego them altogether.

Anyway I know exactly what I'm doing, it's just that it's kinda hard to put everything into words most of the time.

Oh and don't worry bout the results part smile.gif

Btw, I said the workload is heavy, not the weights.

QUOTE(Desvaro @ Jul 17 2008, 12:52 PM)
I stopped reading after that.

You know what you're supposed to focus on? Here's a hint:

COMPOUND MOVEMENTS SUCH AS SQUAT, DEADLIFT, ROW, PULLUP, BENCH, BARBELL PRESS

And pizzaboy, you read my mind.

I don't understand why people feel the need to come up with their own training programs. I mean if you're a qualified strength coach with years of experience then I understand, but this.......I don't understand.

Some of you take cookie cutter programs and modify it a little, that's fine. After all everybody's different.

But there's a difference between modifying and creating a whole new program.

I could go on and on about this
*
Hey man, it works for me.

And I know there are other programs, but as I said just now I haven't exactly added the weights in and there are some times I forego some of the arms training and end up doing it on only day 1 and 6.

Anyway, thanks for the comments.

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.
*
I don't see why I have to give a reason for everything. But I guess that's the price I pay for putting up this thread.

Okay bro, the reason why I focus on my arms is because I have tattoos on both arms. And you know the thing about tattoos (they shrink if the arms become smaller and they enlarge when the arms become bigger)
So yes I have to maintain my arm size.

I consulted the trainer and he said that this isn't a bad idea as long as I "know how to control".

Anyway, it's hard to put everything into words so i'm just going to put it the best way I can- the workload of this training is heavy, not because the weights I lift are heavy, but because it takes a damn long time to finish up my time at the gym (about 3 hours).

I hope this is a good enough response for you.

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

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
*
It's the latter.

QUOTE(John91 @ Jul 17 2008, 03:58 PM)
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.
*
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).

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.
*
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.
