Please critique my workout routine (all suggestions welcome!)

Yes this is true in normal situations but sometimes calcium stays in the channels untill the ion gate allow for active transport, this causes muscle cramping, and cramping lasts more than milliseconds

i have a cool cdrom that shows the whole sliding filament theory, with sound effects. i like to crank it up loud, especially when the calcium is release, "pop, pop, pop!" as they travel to sarcomere. heheheheheh

damn, i need a life.

I know what you mean, but this is rare for BBers who take multi vits, go easy on the caffiene and drink water sufficiently during training - and at other times of the day incidentally.

But i totally understand your point.

three - shoulders/legs
military press, db military press, front/side raises, leg press (i dont do squats often, thats a back injury waiting to happen), extensions, leg curls, calf raises

To Robboe and Bignate

We got some very intelligent people on this board, usually i'll say something and someone will respond that's not what Flex magazine said.

To Aaron02 to gain muscle though you need to be intense and get plenty of food and rest. You can train for years and not get these concepts and you will get minimal results....

sust: thanks.

Gettin larger: IMO that routine is shit. And the fact that you do not squat makes it even worse. Squats performed correctly are the best exercise available. ANY exercise performed with poor form is an injury waiting to happen.

Aaron, a basic 3 day a week split with days of rest inbetween are very good. Look into them.

 

[AMP 33]

Monday : Chest & Back 8 sets for each plus 1 set of pullovers
Wensday: Legs 4 sets for quads and 4 for hamstrings plus 6 sets for calves
