how did you possible do arms and shoulders in less then a hour? Thats not even possible.
ha ha im guessin for gils its different i spend like 20mins in total on arms and shoulders
i spend like around 45 to hour and 15 minutes per muscle group, maybe im slow but 20 minutes is just insane
6 Sets of 10 Reps for shoulders and 4 sets of 10 reps for arms....this was more a shoulder day then an Arm day..thats on Tuesday (I think)
thats all you do? wow
see i do 15x3 on the shoulder press 15x3 on the pec thing (cant remember its name) and then you reverse it and do the same for my back, 15x3 on pull down and 15x3 for both biceps and triceps :/
No, I plan on doing more, its just that Im trying to get back into the routine of going to the Gym after 4 years, so I have to start off slow, before I get bigger again
thats not that bad, yo giac for shoulders, someone showed me this pretty good excercise. lay on your side on the bench and raise the weight like a pendulum, their called like arnold extentions or something... they get u pretty sore if u do it with presses
is sore good - i dont think it is, i mean yeah a bit achy isnt bad but if you leave all rotten sore it cant be good - u guys are crazy
Thats what I was doing this morning, dude why didnt you tell me this before, now Im going to be hurtin tomorrow
yer SUPPOSED to get sore. that means your muscles will be getting bigger. if you dont work out enough to get sore, your muscles will just always stay the same size and you wont get any stronger
I know that...whats your routine usually like?
your 20 mins arms/shoulder is not right dude.. you should be working according to minutes.. do sets and reps.. more sets less reps = mass.. less set more reps= strength
well i've only been working out for about 2 months, but this is what i've been doing and i've stuck to it.
monday: back and legs. i do 4 sets of pullups, 4 sets of bent rows, 4 sets of trows, 4 sets of squats, 3 sets of leg presses, 4 sets of deadlifts, 4 sets of back extensions, and sometimes 3 sets of back flys, 4 sets of calf raises, 3 sets of leg extensions, (not always in that order though) then i play basketball for 2 hours.
weds: chest and shoulders. i do 5 sets of flat bench, 4 sets of incline bench, 3 sets of decline bench, then 4 sets of incline flys superset with dumbell presses, then 3 sets of regular flys (by this point my chest is destroyed haha). then i do 3 sets of front shoulder presses, 3 sets of reverse shoulder preses, 4 sets of arnold extentions, 3 sets of regular shoulder extensions, 4 sets of front shrugs, and 3 sets of reverse shrugs, then i play basketball for 2 hours or so. (i do my ab routine on either day depending on how much time i have)
friday: i dont have time to go to the gym any other days so after work i do bi's tri's and forearms. i do 4 sets of standing curls, 4 sets of preacher curls, 4 sets of incline dumbell curls and 4 sets of standing hammer curls. then 4 sets of skull crusher tri raises, 4 sets of lying down tri raises with the curl bar, 4 sets of dumbell tri raises (sometimes i alternate bi and tri excersises to save time). then finally i just do dumbell things for forearms, i dont know what those are called until my forearms feel like their gonna die.
You think 5 days a week is too much??
it is if u do the same thing every day, their is enough excercises to go 7 days a week
yea, matts doing very well in comparasion, he was a TWIG like 2 years ago, he is HUGE now!!!!
thanks mike! i think you exaggerated a bit though. it's true i was a twig even like last year, but now... i'm almost up to a really BIG twig
