ur a beast

lol....

im 5'4''

145lbs

and last time i maxed out was at 175...

but now im going for definition, 40 reps straight up...

[HANZO]

i been training for 2 years now, im 6'3" and weigh 95kilo's (dont know how many lbs) i never tried to max out on bench press but the most i'v done is 100kilos i wouldnt say it was my max, i was able to do 6 reps with it. i dont lift heavy everyday at the gym cause all the pro's tell me not to as im still young.

[PLO-Stylez]

I can bench 210 lbs. I'm 6ft and I weigh 150 lbs. Is that good for a person that is my height and weight?

Very good even for a 1 rep max but if u do it more than that thats great

I am 165 and i can only do 215 1 time on a good day

[WuBaller]

I'm 5'9,148
my max bench - 198lbs

definition and increasing muscle mass are 2 different things

definition u want to do more sets with higher repetition

muscle mass u want to power lift heavy weights with fewer sets and reps

they are 2 different things.one is lowering your bodyfat and the other is increasing muscle mass.

doing more sets with higher repititons won't do anything.where are you getting this information from.its false.dont believe him.doing high sets and reps will just build up a lot of lactic acid, stress your central nervous system, shoot your muscle eating cortisol through the roof and waste your time.

you dont want to sit in a gym wasting your time do you.

if you want big muscles, lift heavy and intense in short brief workouts using only basic movements like bench presses,shoulder presses,bicep curls, deadlits,pullups,bent over rows, dips.get your weight up in these excersizes.devote a day for each bodypart.

for example do chest one day

flat bench 2 sets
incline 2 sets
dips 2 sets

all hardcore heavy sets,give yourself at least a week in between bodyparts.

if you want definition your going to have to lower your bodyfat plain and simple.theres no such thing as building definition.definition cannot be built.the muslce is either there or it isnt.to expose that muscle you need to lower your bodyfat and that is the only way.lose some weight through watching your diet and doing cardio if need be.its about a calorie deficiency.you wont build muslce during this period however, only keep the muscle that you built if you do it correctly.

good luck

my biggest peice of advice is to read beyond brawn

and dont listen to what everyone else said lol

peace

Thats exactly the type of workout me and my training partner does and it works, I've made some serious improvements over the last 3 months and this is the regime that my partner who is very muscular by the way recommended that I do.

Well said Sins, very good advice.

You cant get anything for free.The gym iz your best bet.You can ride a stationary bike,do sit ups,push ups,and still have unlimited use of weights.GO TO THE GYM.

[Suga Duga]

I never went to a gym and it will never happen...
Training at home with a split program (of course):

Monday:
Shoulders

Tuesday:
Biceps, Triceps (Curls, Dips, Push Ups)

Wednesday:
Legs & Running

Thursday:
Biceps, Triceps (Curls, Dips, Push Ups)

Friday:
Shoulders

Saturday:
Biceps, Triceps (Curls, Dips, Push Ups)

Sunday:
Legs & Running


I also work out with the Air Alert program... I'm training since 3 years, always with a little summer break. Don't use any Protein shakes, it will ruin your body. Why? Because as soon as you will stop consuming those shakes your body will miss the proteins and minerals, usual nutrition isn't able to deliver that kind of support for your muscles...
A friend of mine used those shakes, then stopped consuming and now his muscles look flabby, it looks terrible...
I've gained over 5 kilos of muscles without any gym, protein shakes and my own personal program...

^^Your workout program is awful.......why are you training your shoulders twice in the same week?

What about working your chest, abs and back?

You train your legs and run in the same session?....you are overexhusting yourself.

Im sorry but I've training for a few years now and when I started, it was at home. I can tell you that unless you have your own private gym, nothing beats working out in a proper gym. Not only can you be sure to cover everything, but you also have a lot of variety to choose from so that your routine does not become complacent.

If I was you I would seriously re-evaluate your training program coz honestly it stinks, if you don't train your back and chest you are missing out two core muscle groups which form the foundation of your physique.

2 times per week are possible, more is than 2 times is too much - fact

What about working your chest, abs and back?

chest: when you read through my program you'll see 3 exercises: push -ups, dips and curls. those exercises (especially push-ups) train the chest, show me how you do push-ups or dips without using your chest muscles?

back: very good point: shoulder exercises as well as dips strengthen the back like individual back exercises, again here: ever tried curls or push-ups without using back muscles?

I also train my waist, one of the most important muscles to strengthen the whole body (and back) and guarantee stability

You train your legs and run in the same session?....you are overexhusting yourself.

I also play 2 hours basketball every day...you see you gotta adapt your legs to this high pressure, without that training (running and leg-workout), I wouldn't be able to take 250 shots a day
I'm also sure that your leg training is way harder than mine, the use of my training is to train the main muscles and strengthen my stamina, I'm not workin my legs because of the look

Im sorry but I've training for a few years now and when I started, it was at home. I can tell you that unless you have your own private gym, nothing beats working out in a proper gym. Not only can you be sure to cover everything, but you also have a lot of variety to choose from so that your routine does not become complacent.

1-0 for you on this point, but: I have no problems with my training: the results are nice, I had no injuries and no pains

If I was you I would seriously re-evaluate your training program coz honestly it stinks, if you don't train your back and chest you are missing out two core muscle groups which form the foundation of your physique.

we'll talk about that when you've trained with my program for 4 months (plus the right nutrition)

I already made my comment about those shakes: I've seen what happens, my friend had to train along time to get rid of those flabby muscles (he trained without those shakes afterwards)

if u stop ur still eating burgers and what not
..
also protein shakes are not realy to help build..its a post work out shake that recovers ur weak mussales(spell) after a work out...if ur sore...drinking them u wont be

didn't know that, nice information thx proof

but if ur not sore while not drinking them every work out....then ur not getting a work out
....

u need to do research befor u throw down bad info..misleading peeps

my comments are based on personal experience and situations I faced during the years of lifting weights, I've read several books and did alot of research on the net and talked to trainers, believe me, I know what I'm talkin bout

that workout looks good
remember: every body is different, every workout needs to be adjusted to the individual person that works out with the program. as long as there's no pains and injuries, 50% are already done
