Gym

I posted my workout plan at the minute on the previous page. For Back i have Lateral pull-down and assisted pull-ups, anyone reckon one in particular would be better than the other?

 

If you want to build a good back mate. You should be working on big compound moves, such as bent over rows and deadlifts.

 

Can you do them as successfully using a Smith Machine? As opposed to a free-bar?

 

I think your going to need a free bar mate

 

Have my 2nd attempt at spinning tonite.

 

Good luck Bob

 

Good luck with it matey

 

Cheers Chris

Taaa,first one was ok,but id a sore * for 4 or 5 days.

 

yep goodluck bob, i know i want be back. done my 1st and only spin class couple of month ago and as soon as i got of the bike i spewed my ringer everywhere it was so . am pritty fit so was finding it easy until she kept getting off her bike to come and turn my gears up so it was tougher the daft mut that she was, but me being me just charged on until a couldnt handle anymore and was feeling dizzy got of the bike and let it all out then * off


also had a sore * for days

 

Sore * caused by bike seat: Saddle Sore,

Bitta useless info there

 

hows everyones gym work coming along? hurt my shoulder a week or so ago, not been to the gym since and its really * me off.

 

Had a few days off as I have been away at the match and that but guna hit it hard the morra again. Can't wait to move Gyms at the end of the month.

Too bad there mate

 

sorry tp hear about the shoulder injury mate, was it a gym related injury?

my gym work is coming on in leaps and bounds and im seeing the gains allover which makes it all seem worth while, currently standing at 94kilo and definition is best its been.

 

nope, fell down two flights of stairs whilst drunk. its really beginning to * me off, ive only gotten into going to the gym seriously the last 3-4 months and quite enjoying it and missing it isnt going to do me any good. cant wait to have to make up all the lost ground.

 

Having this week off as I'm home for the week. Think I must have an injury in my left bicep as I can't lift much with it and gets fatigued very quickly. Hopefully this week off will mend it.

 

My Biceps have terrible endurance. I know they're only a relatively small Muscle group. But after say, 3 sets of Preacher Curls using the Bench, they're dead.

I dropped a Weight on my finger today inbetween sets. I dropped the Weight and my finger got crushed inbetween the one I was hodling and another on the floor. Ow!!



Question: Whats better, Triceps Extensions, Kick-backs or Skull-Crushers?

I ask because it seems to me that you should probably only do one of these free weights exercises as they are pretty similar. Just different positions. Maybe none of them are better than the others, maybe just vary it and mix em up once a while?

 

mines is coming on quite good was doing a bit more cardio than strenth work this week but started on heavyer weights today going to try and get a good bit bigger for crimbo

 

Personal preference I would have thought. I think the triceps a difficult muscle to isolate so I guess whatever you feel is best for you

 

Triceps dips, mate.

 

Yeah mate I try to include some Dips in anyways but aye a find those exercises a bit similar. A mean what energy a use on them could probably be more useful in Dips or pushdowns or close-grip or whatever. I think it may be best to do one of them per-session and switch every now and then. I always go light on them anyway to be honest. Or use them as my warm-up to get them going.
