Noticed my Arms are getting annoyed with Dumb bell Tricep Extensions over the head. Start to hurt after one set of anything over 50lb. Where I can do as many as I want with any other Tricep exercise

Gotta keep real good form with those.

Got back from my cruise earlier last week and found I gained 12 pounds.



That's ok, I had great time and I've already dropped like 5 pounds getting back into the gym, eating better, and doing cardio.

I start the shortcut to size monday and I am really pumped about it. So excited to see the gains over the next 3 months.

I just did Week 1, Day 1, and it was chest, tri's, and calves. I'm already feeling a little sore. 12-15 reps on a compound lift like bench gives you intense pumps. So ready for tomorrow's pull day.

The workout it 4 lift days per week. I will split them so Monday and Tuesday are lift days followed by about 15-20 minutes of cardio, then stretching. Wednesday will be moderate cardio with no lifting at all. That Thursday and Friday will be lift days with a little cardio after. Saturday will be a mild cardio day as well as Sunday. Once my bf % goes down a bit more, Sunday will be my cheat day and entire day of rest.

lol. I always stretch a little before I lift. Not a lot, but like 10mins maybe

[andybob]

stretch before you lift

I do before and after. A lot of people don't stretch after they lift and they really should. It's just as important as stretching before.

Usually when I get to the gym I'll do some stretching and very light warm up sets of the first workout of the day. Gets the blood flowing, lubes up your joints, and basically gets you ready to lift.

[P78]

i don't stretch, but i use the row machine for warming up and fat burn

[benz88]

only warm up I do is 5min on the elliptical or bike

Ive been a lazy bitch all of August. Only been doing 2-3 half assed days at the gym a week with a crappy diet. starting fresh on monday with a stack of groceries, new protein (Syntha-6 Isolate for post and Isopure Zero Carb with coffee for the morning). Working on creating a training program the next couple of days while I continue to be lazy at the gym and not try too hard. Also probably going to order a belt in the next week or so. Fucking things take like 6 weeks to make.

however last friday while I was deadlifting, some dude in his 40s walked by while i was in between sets and said "god damn, thats a lot of weight" i laughed and told him it wasnt anywhere near enough

Tried something Different Tonight, Instead of going for Max Weight. I kept it the same as Last time and just went for Max Reps, 15 or so reps to really work the biceps and Back. Turned out great compared to moving up.
