so u basically just do the same stuff everyday or different stuff whenever

i change it up, like work the same muscle with different exercise, you'll eventually have to do that when it gets too easy

Doubt is a dream killer

Wendlers 5/3/1 or a 5x5 variation are two strength building programs that I live by. They are awesome. Also if you are just starting, you should look into starting strength routines.

For chest, I change it up by using dumbells instead of the bar for inclines or declines every week. Can vary weight and reps too.

For biceps I try out a bunch of shit. I really try and kill my biceps. I do like 20 reps of something, then take a 15 second rest, do another 15 reps of slightly higher weight, and so on.

Well then, what you got to find is the stuff that works for you individually. Like for me as an example, I find multijoint movements are key for both my progressing in size and strength. My workouts are laced with squat variations, deadlifts, cleans and its variations, and bench.

r u a big guy^ like do u want cut or mass

I was gettin' big until I stopped working out. School, surgery and all that shit just caught up to me. I've never been one to manage my time well, so when I have a lot on my plate, I tend to fuck it up.

My biceps are decent, but my triceps are pree weak. Need to work on eating right, haven't gotten that down yet, lol. I'm so weak:( Legs are mad good doe.

Anyways, I was working out for 30-45 mins a day and going at it the whole time. I took water breaks in between sets but that's about it. I was benching, doing different tricep exercises and doing shit with the 15 lb dumbbells. I was doing 100 sit ups a day until I got lazy.

Think I'm gonna start working out again. I'm gonna try to go out for basketball next year (if I can stick with it, such a short attention span) so I need to get in better shape.

Yeah lol, I'll make this the official workout thread. Might as well.

when i workout, i work out to my max for like 20 minutes like everyday, (bench press, curls etc) i dont have a program and i dont over do it. the key is intensity in the workouts and eating like a MONSTER. if to you that you'll see results in a week.

I don't have the time to do this any more. :(

Man that shit kills me, lol. My bench is so low incredibly low right now that I don't even know if I should say anything, lmao. My squat is great, I can do like 100 on a fucked up knee. I think I could prolly get to like 225-250 over the Summer. Don't know my max since my bar only fits 100 on it.

Idk how you guys just do a set, 10 sec break, set, 10 sec break. I usually can only do up to three sets. I think I have a low pain tolerance, or it's all in my head I guess, lol.

Remember when you're working out Giova; Mind over matter; if you don't mind it don't matter.

I usually try fewer reps but with a very high weight.

Oh also, working out and lifting does wonders for your confidence. I was unbelievably confident when I was working out and then I stopped and my confidence came down with it, lol.
