Oh and if anyone is interested, here is my diet log on Fitday.com. Only been keeping it for two days. Yesterday I had a tomato sauce, vegatable, lean ground beef sauce on top of my rice that I do not know how to put on there. But I figure it had around 300 calories in it.
I also do not list mustard or the salsa I typically put in my tuna. FitDay.com - Diet and Fitness journal for Adam20v |

alright.. start light and get the proper form down and take it from there. and another suggestion, you might not want to work back and chest on the same day, your workouts should be centered around the big 3 lifts.. bench, squat, deadlift. maybe try a push/pull/legs routine... push=chest/shoulders/triceps pull=back/biceps/traps legs=legs

My goal is a toned body, should I still base my routine around the 3 main lifts? The 5x5 program looks more like a program for a power lifter...
I'm going to revise my workout program soon. I'm looking to keep the 3 day split I do now, so a push/pull like that would work. Any links to sample routines? Thanks for the suggestions |

i didnt say 5x5 did i? lol if you want to grow you need those lifts.. your body will grow better as a whole rather than individual parts trust me. bodybuilders do squat and deadlift so i dont know what the excuse is now.

I did something wrong...feels ok now though. Was pretty tight right afterwards though. Overall my legs feel much better than they did after my lower body workout last week. I may only be sore for 2 days instead of 4 this time Last edited by Keyhole; 02-08-2007 at 01:32 PM. |

Hopefully it's healed by Tuesday, otherwise I'll be taking that day off. Today is my weigh in day and I weighed in at just about the same as last week. But I measured my fat and it appears to have dropped 1%. This was my first week on my new diet, eating more calories than before and eating the right balance of protein/carbs/fat. Going to give it another week before I adjust anything, could just be my body getting used to the higher amount of calories. Weight: 186lbs Body Fat: 15.79% |

35 minutes elliptical I think I am going to only do deadlifts on Saturday with my current routine even though I generally do the same routine on Tues/Sat. So that would be Squats on Thursday, deads on Saturday, then another 4 days off before I do squats again. |

Bench Press: 10x115lbs 6x125lbs 5x135lbs Lat Marchine Pull Downs: 20x80lbs 15x95lbs 8x120lbs Single Arm Dumbbell Rows: 15x25lbs 12x30lbs 12x35lbs Dumbbell Shrugs: 15x45lbs 12x50lbs 12x55lbs Incline Dumbbell Press: 15x30lbs 12x35lbs 12x35lbs Dumbbell Press: 15x35lbs 12x40lbs 12x40lbs Shoulder Press: 15x50lbs 10x60lbs 7.5x70lbs Standing Barbell Curls: 15x45lbs 12x55lbs 12x55lbs 10x60lbs Rope Pushdowns: 15x80lbs 12x100lbs 12x110lbs 12x120lbs Sit ups: 1x30 1x20 1x35 Good workout. I always seem to gas out on the shoulder presses, then get my second wind to finish. I wish I could keep my energy up the entire time. I think this is just about it for this routine. Been doing it for 8 or 9 weeks and I think it's time for the a change. Going to put together a push/pull/legs routine and start on that. |
