Hopefully, if any of yall see anything wrong with my routines you can give me some good advice!! Also, I'm really excited that now I will be able to see my progress as it happens

I was going to say the same LOL, reading your workout makes me tired

I was going to say the same LOL, reading your workout makes me tired

Haha why because of all the lines it took to write it or because I am doing a lot per workout? I wrote down my workout for today and will be posting it when I get out of class at 2. What do you think of the structure of my first workout. Was it ok?

Both LOL!

Looks good to me but I am not the resident expert, trying to build muscle I always use 8 at first and end at 12 reps at the end of the month but I don't know the phil. behind it either.

It depends on your stats now too...

I know not much help

 

[*Bunny*]

Not sure what your training split looks like for the week, but Im going to ask about the 200 abs ... What did you do specifically? If you could do 200 crunches for instance, I would focus on adding resistance & increasing the difficulty for like 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps.

It's not 200 of all the same thing...i do some leg raises, some V-sit ups, some torso roations on a machine, varying stuff for a total of 200...and the V-sit ups and torso rotations are weighted

Good.

Are 12 reps failure for you? or do you just stop at 12 with more left in you
