The FORM THREAD (questions about the exercises)

for Some Glutamine Is incredibly powerful as is Creatine

just go with it, you will get bigger, you dont need to be sore

My recovery has greatly improved, but I'm very sore during the exercise. Body parts often feel as if they are on fire. But I'm fine by the time the next workout is due now

i dont know what im doing wrong but after my first refined chest workout, im not sore at all! i dont know how im not sore after 7 sets of incline DB Press but some how im not, also today i did the leg workout and i powered threw it alot easier then last week, iv kept strict form and iv been focusing on the muscle that im working and squeezing at the top of the all the movements. maybe im not doing enough weight? but during the workout i feel like im going to die so i dont know how im going to up the weight at this stage. i have been taking in about 15g of glutamine and about 10g of creatine everyday so that may be one of the reasons. another thing is i just changed my pwo stimulant and it works a hell of alot better. is it possible that all my other workouts were not being preformed to the fullest because of a bad stimulant? but at first i was very sore... i mean like very very sore. but now im just not feeling it. i dont know what to do, let me know what u think

thanx

Always use the mirror to gauge true progress..never rely on a scale.

I know Omega u said bi-curls are meant to be simple, but I have one question on arm width.

If my hands are shoulder width or our bars its uncomfortable given the shape of the eazy bar. Most comfortable is with my hands inside shoulder with.

Should I go inside or outside?

OutSide ALWAYS

hit more total muscle belly, and yes it can be an annoying position till the body adapts

Tricep Push down:

Hey Omega, I'm not sure if I'm doing these right, because I feel less of pump/soreness in my tris than anyting of ur routine.

I'm assuming we are meant to use a pronated grip (although I feel more pain if I use supinated), but how wided are my hands meant to be (more than or less than shoulder width), and should I be facing the machine (I assume so).

I'm a bit concerned I'm not getting a full tricep workout - is there any tips?

Thanks

BTW - is it uncommon after DB bench to feel like u've got nothing for cable flys. I keep hitting PR's on DB bench, and each time I feel like I have nothing whatsoever to give the cable flies, and am doing weights `10 year girls could handle lol.

just a quick one.. how long do you guys generally spend in the gym with this routine? ??

 

[iggy]

45 minutes on chest and back. usually 60 on leg day. 15 minutes of cardio on back and chest, so it evens out to about 60 minutes.

 

[desmond]

Using the chest exercise's as an example:

(1) 5 exercies, about 60 reps per exercises, about 5 seconds per rep (2 seconds up, down, pause) = 1500 seconds of exercises (25 minutes)
(2) 3 45 second rest breaks, 5 exercises = 675 seconds, 11.25 minutes
(3) 5 20 second rest breaks, = 100 minutes, 1.67 minutes
(4) 4 2-3 minutes breaks between exercises, 8-12 minutes
THEREFORE TOTAL TIME
(for 2 min rest breaks): 45.92 minutes
(for 3 min rest breaks): 49.92
