This was my old workout, i did this for an extensive time. i feel that it doesnt get the results i want, i have been doing this new workout for quite some time and have been satisfied so far, so ya know what they say "If it aint broke dont try to fix it" lol.
Cardio is something i need to work on, i usually get my sweat on when i lift lol.

Tuesday 6/5/07

Back/Bi's

DB Curl 35lbs 4x8

EZ bar curl 3x40lbs 1x50lbs

BB curl 65lbs 4x8

Shrugs 135lbs 3x20 (every 5th rep was held for 5 sec.)

Pulldown 125lbs 4x10

My curls basically stayed the same because i got this thing that straps around your chest and wraps around your arms to keep you from doing "cheat" curls. Also does anyone know of any other good back excersizes? i dont think my back workouts enough... idk comments?

[HammerTech]

You work out at a gym, or at home? I don't want to make suggestions based on stuff you don't have at your disposal, but look at your workout: You have shrugs, lat pulldowns and that's it for back. You need to do more exercises for the back instead of the 12 curl sets, in my opinion. Your bi's get work in doing the heavy compound lifts on back day, so I don't feel you need so much iso work on them.

Just for consideration, don't have to take it as gospel truth:
Deadlifts
Lat Pulldowns
Barbell Rows or T-bar rows
Face Pulls
Pull-Ups
Hammer Curls or BB Curls

Any other experience folks want to comment?

i work out at a gym, so your saying drop some of the curls?

[HammerTech]

I think you'll get further doing good form on some heavy compound lifts rather than so many curl sets, again, just an opinion. 12 curl sets seems like a lot to me, so yeah, drop some curl sets. Maybe just do wide grip / close grip bb curls along with the back exercises I listed (2 each).

[marlin]

Also work your back before your bi's.

6/8/07 FRIDAY CHEST/TRI'S

ok today was a good day my bench press went up.. i probly coulda went up on incline but i was worn out after upping my flat bench...

DB Bench Press-70lbs 5x5

DB Incline-60lbs 4x8

Decline Smith Machine-165lbs 4x8

Tri Pulldown-120lbs 4x8 (will go up next week. Keeping perfect form)

Does this seems like enough? I dont do too much tricep workouts since they get hit also with chest workouts.
