Poets Diary
I'm 18. Been working out for over 3 years seriously... as far as supplements are concerned, I've been through jars and containers of protein, creatine, and multi vitamins. The first two years were my cutting stage. (started at 5'0, 160 lbs)...with the last year consisting of me bulking up all the weight I lost (currently sitting at 5'7 150lbs moderately happy)...
I'll give this training diary a go.. 6-13-06 Arms Bicep Dumbbell Curls: 40x6 40x6 40x5 Preacher Curls (Machine) 90x5 80x6 80x4 80x4 Concentration Curls 30x7 35x4 35x5 Hammer Curls 35x6 35x6 35x4 Tricep Reverse PullDowns 90x6 90x5 90x5 Tricep Pulldowns 105x5 105x6 105x5 Overhead Extensions (machine) 165x7 180x5 180x3 Burnout: to tired for last set...

Chest & Back Flat Bench 185x8 195x5 185x6 185x5 Decline Bench 155x7 155x7 155x7 Bored after third set Dumbell Press 65x5 65x4 65x5 Incline Press (machine) 185x3 185x3 Shoulder Pain Back Rows with Barbell 155x10 155x10 155x10 (have to move up next time) Lat Pulldowns 150x5 150x5 150x4 Traps.. this workout is a little weird to list...works them like nothing ive felt before...carry dumbbells in each hand (60 today for me) walk back and forth for about 30 steps shrugging them up and down, using backwards and forwards rotatting motions. Deadlifts and squats are a no no, my lower back is in severe pain after one set of deads...

hey man...yes i think we are all addicted to this thing we call..working out. lol. but neways... i was just wanting to know why you would work ur back the day after u did your biceps...when you work back you also work the hell out of ur forearms and biceps. maybe you can switch your split around so you can have back and biceps on the same day. well good luck man.

i was on that routine for roughly 1.5 years, decided to switch late last year, give a new split a try, this one is doing what i expected to do, leave me soar as all hell, but my gains have been noticeable, therefore, I believe ill stick to this routine until my body and mind grow tired and request a change, I like to keep the body satisfied. : )

ya man, but if i were you i wouldnt do upright rows on shoulder day, it is a pull excersize designed for your traps mainly. pull excersizes shouldnt be mixed with push excersizes. for better results put them on your back day, also biceps should be with back not triceps. biceps-pull, triceps=push. so put triceps with chest, upright rows and biceps with back.

well aware of all that was said, as i stated, my routine was just that, it was biceps and back triceps and chest and shoulders and legs, but when you do the same thing with only varying the actual workouts themselves, the time spent in the gym turns repetitve and results in boredom, which for me, turns into the slowing down of, to near end of working out. so i decided to switch it up, try out different routines, see what works. I have done back on its own day and chest on its own day and arms on their own days before, but that seemed to be to hard to keep up with, when work was a major factor in my daily life routine. so, will i return to the original workout, most likely, after im done venturing into other routines. and as far as the upright rows are concerned, they work your delts as well. the true form is for you to concentrate on using your shoulder and few of your upper back muscles to lift directly up. so, your point about it being for your traps is valid, but to say its a bad idea to do on your shoulder day, is where i disagree, they workout my shoulders more-so then anything.

then your doing them wrong they are for your traps, delts are the secondary muscle involved in it, but nearly as much as strain on it as opposed to traps.

alright, thank you for your input, but this is not a threat for your posting, if you have a question, one reply would be plenty. you raised a question, and I answered your question, If i left it open for you to believe that i wanted yet another response from you, i apologize, I Didn't. So, im using this thread to record my improvements, not to have a computer discussion with someone. Don't worry about my gains, My gains have been considerable. and just to quiet your curiosity, it had been four days since my last arm routine, and it would be another two till I was able to give them a complete workout, so I did a "quick set" in hopes i wouldnt lose to much progression in them. afterall your muscles are usually healed after 48-72 hours, not 144.

had a tremendous amount of pain in my left forearm today, but decided to work through it, see what would happen....(bad idea) well in doing so, my lifts were below mediocre, and the only thing it did is put me out of commission for god knows how long.
For the sake of saving time, every lift, (meaning every time i picked up a dumbbell) my forearm ached like never before, so instead of writing (forearm pain) near the names of all the workouts, just know that i had forearm pain. CHEST & TRICEPS Flat Bench BB 185x8 185x7 186x6 DB Press 60x8 60x5 60x5 Cable Flys 60x7 60x6 Pain unbearable instead of doing what i should have done, which would have been to call it a day, i took off my tank top and tied it around my forearm tightly, trying to keep pressure on it and finish my workout. Tricep Reverse PullDowns 135x7 135x7 135x5 Pulldowns 135x8 150x8 150x6 Overhead Extensions (DB) 60x7 60x7 60x6 All in all, my workout was half-assed, not up to my usual amount of sets or workouts themselves. As soon as i walked out of the gym, forearm was in throbbing pain, had a hard time driving home, went to the store, bought a large elastic bandage applied some bengay, took some motron, and tied up my arm. hopefully the pain will be gone tomorrow, if not...back and biceps is gonna be postponed. ATE = 5 scrambled eggs 2 large bowls of potatoes rice and meat and tomatoes snacked on a banana, with fresh squeezed lemonade and OJ dinner tonight another 2 large bowls of potatoes rice and meat and tomatoes followed by fruits.

I think youre seriously overtraining. Unless your on gear theres no need for all those sets. That and you need more rest time in between workouts.

If you looked at my previous post, you'll notice that I havent posted in nearly a week, I have been overloading on work, and not having any time to workout. So I decided yesterday would be a full upper body workout to catch up on time lost. I do not do that on a daily basis. aside from that, I only do 3 to 4 sets per workout (usually 3 or 4 workouts) per body part, that is not over-training at all.....also, how did you reach an assumption that I am not resting enough???
