ok any one got come nice weight lifting techniques? im getting bored of normal lifts, im also doin that one where you hold the weight and try to lift with your arm turned over. and the half bent lifts from floor. last year i lsot the weight now its time to build it from raw, cant afford gym yet where i am am theyre all like £100 joining fee £50 a month if u go or not and i just dont agree with that.
Depends what muscles you wanna build up and the gyms sound like a fucking rip off lol
lol i wnana work the pectorals, and shoulders also wouldnt mind bending the ol wings in abit more
Pick up that Arms of Steel work out tape......the guy is a nut!!! With the weight I do I felt that I could use 10# instead of his recommended 2.5#....I WAS WRONG!!!
Have a good one!:thumbsup:

^^^Hands down the best workout site I've found on the net.
You can lookup stuff by body part, equitment used and so on. Good Luck! :thumbsup:
Remember use sharp focused movement dont just through the weight around.
Think Tecnique all the time....... you will get more out of it, and wont hurt your self.
What do you have.... bench? seated row? Leg machine? free weights? BUcket of sand?
LMAO Bucket of Sand. I remember seeing that thing for the 1st time in the weight room and loosing it. All this expensive equitment, but sometimes you can't go wrong with a bucket of sand! :dance:Quote:

Me too :D They also have a good ammount of workout sheets pre-made for you. You can locate one by the equitment you have, how many days you wanna work out in a week and so on. I found one and pasted it into word and customized it to my liking (added excersises for other body parts and removed ones I didn't need). Great stuff considering it's all free.Quote:

when i say focus i mean when you stand there and curl you look at the muscle you are working and focus on it and work it it full range....... slow and steady...
i like to Curl... with a twist raise the bar like normal up to chest but then lift elbow up too.....it hits the front delt.
with out a bench it will be hard to hit the chest hard.......... you need a place you can do flys and get extention you need to promote growth.....
Push ups are great but you lack the stretch...............
Some of my favorites are
Military press.
incline bench
decline bench
regular bench press
curl
preacher curl
one arm curl.........with dumbbells. hammer style
seated row........
shoulder shrug
lat pull downs inner outer regular
My all time favorite........incline bench......
P.S. my last time at the gym i put up 385 bench twice... i am off and on.
right now i am working so hard at my job i dont need to work out.
to really add some mass ou need to hit up some heavy squats, that's the ticket. Checkout the routine.
http://www.ironworkout.com/20_rep_squat.htm If your just trying to do arms and chest and gain a little strength without alot of equipment then dips, pullups, chinups, pushups, handstand pushups(if you can do them) the list goes on and on. If you got the motivation to do it then you will find a way.
I have tree trunks for legs and i love to squat.... I have just never had to work super hard on my legs.....
I used to like to squat, leg extentions and leg curls.....some lunges every once and a while.
I used to do these things called 21s do 7 reps of leg extentions toes strait 7 reps toes in, and 7 rep toes out....... burn baby burn......
Great link......... unless he has a rack he will never be able to achive this though.Quote:

If your doing at home stuff use some gallon milk jugs. Bong knows what hes talking about if you focus on control with smaller weights you get a little less mass but a whole lot more tone and definition.
I started doing squats for football but its having the unintended side effect of giving me a really firm gay ass
Hell yeah I'm doing that program now. I've gotten up to 285 for 20 reps and the combination of the dips right after the heavy breathing squats really blows your chest up. next workouts tomorrow 290!!!Quote:

you should purchase a thing called a roman chair.
imagine doing situps with your legs hooked and free falling backwards.. then coming back up. kicks your ass.
rhino,
NIce... Kick some ass.
Dips are allways tough....
Super set..........nice
Things like that are great for trunk fitness.....Power house in Palides...Quote:

You don't need a gym. As long as you have free weights, and a bench, that's all you need. You don't need any of that machinery that simply isolate your muscles. In a 3-d world, you should work your muscles in 3-d that stabilizes your core at the same time.Quote:
