Hey bro if u want more pump before workout why not sip on Whey+dextrose, if u have money to burn u can buy those NO product or Sxivation Extend for recovery. The dumbell press is usually harder to balance coz one arm is usually stronger than the other..shouldn't be a problem in my opinion as long as u maintain proper form.

This is my rest week actually lol. I feel itchy so hit the gym lah xD Didn't do taxing exercises though, I tried to keep it simple. I hope I'm not burning myself out..

Darklight's beginner trainees have been on 5-day split as well. It worked for them, I heard. Lol the articles however have opposing suggestions for ectomorphs, I'll keep that in mind x_x

I thought he recommend Madcow Starting Strength..

btw both splits has its merits.

But with 5 day splits you need to know your limits to avoid overtraining. Three day splits is good for recovery. Pick the best one that fits you. I might try 4 day splits, but 5 days..too much for me i think. blush.gif

Triceps became much stronger. Biceps not much difference from previous workout. Anyway I reduced my exercises from 3 per muscle group to 2. So basically I just did a total of 4 exercises today instead of the usual 6. Btw, my left biceps always dies before my right does. hmm.gif


I read about this problem, people in bb.com forum suggest that the left arm should determine the amount of reps.. so if u can only do 6 reps on the left hand, you should only do 6 reps on right hand too. This is to prevent the left arm from lagging behind in term of progress / asymmetrical ..

and if u have time just do 1 more extra set for the left arm only to help balance out the progress..

I am at 69kg now too. Height is 169cm..look much better than when i started. I'm please with the result i am getting.. most fat stored in the belly and bum area..so my arms still skinny.

Noticeable difference in the size of triceps and bicep though..not much but its a start.

Edit: Omfg I did some skipping ropes and they were deadly. DEAAAADLY!!! I only managed to pull off about 20 + 53 + 48 + 30 reps with two-legged jump, and that also with rests in between. And then I went on to do a final 60 rep with the easier jumping style (crossing the string one leg at a time). Skipping ropes is far more difficult than i thought it would be LOL! Fun exercise nevertheless. It worked my cough up though. Now my cough is even worse than it already was haha...


LOL dude i want to warn u earlier about the skipping, but i just dont to mess things up for u. haha
Last time i do those for 15 minutes only after my circuit training, my calf was so sore afterwards i can still feel it the day after.
