Hey brother, great great chest day! VERY important to always have that good form and not worry about the weight. It will all come in time. Everything looks in order to murder your chest. Just always remember to throw different shit in to keep the growing constant. One of my fav lifts for chest is dips. If you haven't before, throw them in, i promise you will feel them haha.

Alright guys, my friend came over last night and helped me with a workout, its a 5 day split. Each day to hit each muscle. Triceps and biceps done on the same day. I just started the routine today and i have to say it killed, My bicep was wrecked. But i cant say the same for my tricep. For some reason, i didnt feel the bnrun i thought i would have. Maybe i have to increase the weights. So here it is, my new arm workout

Two arm overhead press(i think thats what its called)

Looking solid there bro. always stick to the basics with leg day to put on the most mass. Also, good to hear ur burying those squats, thats the way to do it! You ever do stiff legged deadlifts or walking lunges?

nice wheels sessions
Good link Vaze. When done correctley stiff leggeds really bring your legs to a whole new level of pain and growth.
You could also do Dumb Bell walking lunges. it really works ur hams and glutes.
Tartaglia
07-05-09, 12:59 pm
thats alot for the video vase, and thanks rk for the advice! Ill be sure to throw in stiff leg deadlifts towards the end of my workout and walking lunges!

Stiff's and lunges are real real tough man, u might want to put them in before leg extensions and curls.

Use a flat bench, lying down both hand holding the dumbell. Bringing it as far back as i can until i feel a stretch. and bringing it back up slowly. I try to keep my arms staright so my bicep or triceps dont help bring the weight up. I used to focus it on my lats. maybe if i try it again next chest workout. i can try to focus on my chest

Whats up fellas? Today was an alright back day. I wasnt feeling to good. But when i got to the gym i was feelings abit better.
Ill hit you guys up with my protein shake this morning. I have no more whey protien and im waiting to get my Universal real gains. So i had to use whatever i had in my kitchen.
Im not sure about the measurments but it was kinda like this.
Alot of milk
a banana
3 tea spoons of peanut butter
some honey
half a cup of eggs whites
1 whole egg
blend it up!

and my brother thought i was a fucken retard. HAHA
alright so this was how my back workout went. One thing im trying to do is widen my back
Wide Grip Pull Ups: As many sets as i can to get to 35 reps. It took four sets 12,10,8,5 not bad for a little guy like me!
Dealifts: 135(10)
135(10)
185(8)
185(7)
Deadlifts iomproved cause the plate of 45 on each side, is done like picking up the sunday news paper, so next time im hoping of adding another plate of 10 pounds on each side to start with!
One arm row: 35(12)
40(10)
45(8)
Wide grip cable rows: im not sure about the weight on theese machine. but my reps were 10,8,6. Adding more weight each set
And lastly i finished off with one set of pull ups till failure. and stiff arm pull downs!( those were a fkn killer)

EAT EAT EAT!!! Really all you can do. Flex wont help muscle soreness its a joint supplement. The first time is always gonna kick your ass but im not gonna say its gonna get any easier. However the better the diet the better your recovery time will be.

Cable cross overs: 3 sets light weight perfect form(Warm up)
Dumbell Bench: 4 sets
40(10)

My chest is never sore the day after. I think i need a new chest workout. If anyone can help me add in some exercises i would appreciate it. And im stupid cause i forgot the DB pullovers, sorry Vase! next time i promisee hhaa, thanks alot
Try starting out with Flat DB Bench super setted with Flat DB Flyes. So for this you would do say 50'sx10 reps pressing then keep a lighter pair of DB at your feet and immediatley do flyes. I usually drop my flyes 20 pounds lighter than my presses out of pure fatigue of the chest. Always gets me a great pump, try it out let me know what you think.

Goals:
Weight:170
Bench: 160
Squat: 225
Deadlift: 280-300
I'm not sure if im jumping up with the weight to much. But theese are my goals. Im gunna try to accomplish them as fast as possible. And another goal is. To make my medium Animal shirt make it fit as if it were a small on me now.
goals are good, u'll get there in no-time. keep on eating and training like a monster and u're good to go!
Glad i could help man. It's all about learning new things and connecting with your body. You can never know everything so keep on digging to find more. Only suggestion i have is to go heavier on your failure sets so you can only get 6-8 reps. Great way to add strength!
