bodybuilder

anyone who'd into weightlifting has some sort of image issues, or they'd be happy being a fat cnut

 

Precisely (unless its just purely to feel good or for a power-sport).

And some people with massive strength and awesome physiques are THE most insecure people on the planet.

 

biggest guy i know [suited squatting 300+kgs] has a squeaky voice, bet that's what drives him to be a monster

and I'm ginger

 

My initial interest was looks.
Now it's fitness and strength for other sports.

And being in decent shape is a handy bonus.

 

Yes I want to look good. Major thing for me was the health aspect of things. Looking after my heart, and my body. I dont fancy a heart-attack induced by a crappy diet and lack of excersise. I may be alot bigger than most of my mates, but funnily enough i'm much fitter than them. I've stopped smoking, cut down the beer lifting, feeling better so its all good.

Prof - what I sent you was simply the chest based stuff I do, but I'd be interested to see Daves work out plan. Had a wicked 1 hour session yesterday and went to physical breaking point (I could barely lift my arms up from my side, let alone any weights). Kept doing 2 sets of 12, 1 set of 10 with 15 press ups afterwards before going on to the next machine or routine. Looked pretty ripped after too, which paid dividends when I got home

 

Body building maybe.
Weight lifting nah, they're all 28 stone jobs

 

yes if you could get that forwarded Prof that'd be grand
hopefully some of the stuff in there is possibly something I've done before

lol yea at the 3 hours he had some cut out from a muscle mag that had a pic of a scary bloke on u know, muscles coming out of his ears n stuff. we'd leave for the gym at 8AM and get back at like 11:45.

 

I can't be arsed to post it, Prof will post it he wrote it...

 

thanks dave

lads PM me your e-mail address and i'll send what daves doing, but it is a beginners program, if you could recruit loads of motor units then it'd be too much

 

Recruit motors?



will PM mail addy

 

recruit motor units= how efficiently you can activate your muscles.

An advanced lifter will be able to fire more muscle fibres than a beginner, so gets more out of each rep, and probably can't handle as much volume-or amount of exercise, as they work harder on each one..

make sense?

 

stuff sent to those that asked

 

yes that makes perfect sense, cheers for the explanation

 

oh and after day2 repeat day 1 and so on

take some before pics & measurements too, be interested in the results

 

Thanks prof

 

couple of typos in it

most of the big exercises are 5 sets of 5reps, the other stuff where it says 3x10 or 10x3 are all 3 sets of 10 reps

 

I'll add the squats in and change the reps to match what you've said and see how it goes. Everything else is in my usual workout routine though.... which is good

 

what step ups and deadlifts, you sure no one does step ups who isn't an athlete [hang on i'm sure that Lord Sutherland will tell us he's been doing them forever] did you get both days?

 

yer sorry i generally included those in "squats" - I knew what I meant

 

a lot of the exercises are new to me
but theres vids on a few sites on performing stuff right .. some on PN I think
