Hey guys. this is my 2nd week into the gym after a few years, the nice people here helped me build a plan but issue is, there is no assisted pull-up/chest dip. so i was wondering what i can do to build enough strangth asap so i can integrate these into my routine? is the cable-pulldown a good replac...

nice! ty for all the information! would something as simple "vertical leg-hip raise" (as named in the directory) be good enough to give the RA a good workout? or do i have to resort to weights? i REALLY don't want to put any un-needed tension on my lower back. the Obliques are a-bit harder for me to...

i love talking workout's... i feel so stupid and everybody else sounds so smart! i LOVE IT! so much to learn! can you further explain what curlups,landmine rotation and anti-rotations mean? so if i give it a go and take just 1 AR ex and 1 Obliques for a while ill see how it works out. i've only JUST...

first of all id like to ask(HAVE to ask), from whenever i can remember myself people around me said "there are exercises for 'upper abdomen' and for 'lower abdomen'" and knowing there is only one Rectus Abdominis im not sure what that means, is that just BS? can you actually work on your Rectus Abdo...

quick question - asking here not to open a new topic.

first workout was Wednesday - now is 2 days later so i was supposed to go to the gym today.

im still plenty sore in my muscles, should i go anyway? or wait an extra day till tomorrow and than go when im less/not sore?

this guy was the "on-shift" trainer in the gym, in that gym there is always 1 male and 1 female trainer present to help the guys and the girls. he DOES look like a body builder, and the fact that 3 secs after we were introduced he told me he has the best prices on supplements kind of rang my bells t...

hey guys. after a long post here on this post, with the help of some of you amazing people i've reached this routine: A Barbell Deadlift Dumbbell Lunge Barbell military press Pullup chest dip (crunches) B Barbell Full Squat Cable Bent-over Leg Curl Barbell Bench Press Cable Straight Back Seated Row ...

well rather than pay you i cant think of a way to thank you.

thanks you for checking every time and answering all my million question.

and also to everyone else that answered, really appropriate it

wow robertscott thanks alot! that is very tempting to me, only 5 exercises per workout seems alot "easier" on the mind than "i need enough energy to go to an 8 drill workout" rather than just 5". seems alot nicer on the body to let it recoup also - about what u said, 1 day between workouts, i though...

alright well! first of all, again i appropriate all the help and advice. i might be stubborn but i do want to try "my own thing" before i try the ready made 5X5 programs and such (worst case i waste 1-2 months and try the "sure thing") but assuming my routine is: Barbell Deadlift Barbell Full Squat ...

Haha alright I think I get it now.. at least moss do than before! But I gotta ask... as a new trainee, the weight I can lift will prolly chance rapidly, so how will I know what is the"right weight" when I go on my mod and light days and won't I waste a bunch of time sets and effort going too low in ...

You guys are AMAZING! and i can't believe how nice and helpful this community is. even tho it seems a little counter-intuative i realize that you know best, and if you say that i should do 3 diff days a week with diff loads and still gain as much as i can strength and mass wise, and most imporatnly,...

well i have to admit im way more confused than i was when i started the thread ;P what i don't get is, I've trained before and grew nicely. it seems to me like the medium and easy days will be time i wasted that i could've pushed myself further, or maybe im not understanding. 1. Heavy workout day - ...

thanks ill see what the gym has, if theres a cable like the one i saw - ill do that.

any idea on time between sets?

Hey guys! ty so much for the answer. true, Deadlift covers everythig Hyperextension does, so that's out. down to 21 sets. robertscott , would you mind recommending some good complex Row exercises? good posture and healthy shoulders are a first for me before any muscle mass. i thought about "Cable St...
