arent you the guy that pretended to be diifii if so then gtfo…fraud
also heres your first tip machines are a waste of time you will progress much faster with free weights
also what are you trying to accomplish? those are awfully high reps there.
and wtf was the point of claiming big time smile reviews as your own work … you and diifii are borderline retards
He seems to be lying completely…
He doesn’t know the name of the leg extension machine…but he can do 300lbs for as many reps as he wants?? Whatever…go away tool
40 reps with 250lbs on the bench press machine?? Please
my weight training for dummies book says i need to need more than 3 sets per muscle group to really change that area.
so if its biceps 2 sets concentration curls+2 sets hammer curls will do it right?
if you read your weight training for dummies book and then come in here asking questions expect to get different answers. its up to you to choose who you are going to listen to
4 bicep exercises is just unnecessary and depending on the frequency and volume could be close to overtraining. youll get plenty of bicep work during your back exercises. if you wanna hit your biceps harder then after you compound lifts you can finish off you r bicepswith 3 sets of 10 (curls/ hammercurls/bb curls whateva) with moderate weight at the top of the lift squeeze your bicep which pumps more blood into it.
That is one of the most broad, blanket statements I have ever read regarding resistance training. It doesn’t take into effect frequency, or the ancillary work a muscle recieves during compound lifts…as remy said.
IMO the best way to promote hypertrophy is short resting intervals with submaximal weights and a higher frequency/moderate volume program, of course periodized in some manner…
Oh and start eating the house…You can train for strength and if you are in a caloric surplus you will/may still put on considerable size.
Wassup playa’s. I’m starting my weight training next week. My goal isn’t to get bigger, but get cut. Does anyone have a good plan for this. Myour and my homeboys decided to workout everyday, but isn’t that bad? I know the body needs time to heal and a stuff. I want to mainly work out my abs and upper body. Does anyone have any tips or excersices to work out abs? Mainly the part right below the naval and on the sides of your waist. I do crunches but I never feel anything in thos e areas.
Thanks Rizer. Thats exactly what i’m looking for. I see in the article you said That ab training doesn’t need to be done everyday, but I’ve had a few people tell me that is should be done since you rarely use them throughout the day. I’m a little confused now. but I will do the exercises you have listed in your post. Once again thanks.
LOL and LOL again. This sounds just like a lie. What’s your height, age, and bodyweight?
That was actually a response of mine to a PM I recieved.
Adding to that…whoever told you that you don’t use your abs throughout the day is a dumb fuck. You use all the muscles that make up your core ALL the time. Also when you lift weights, you should keep your core tight throughout the lift. Squats, Deads, hell just about anything. If you concentrate on tight form you are using your core for it. Use the machines for everything and guess what, you effectively remove core stabilization from the equation.
Also doing endless crunches and leg lifts can actually contribute to lower back pain and even worsen a person’s more than likely already poor posture. That is why I limit myself to such few exercises and maybe once or twice weekly.
Planks and bird-dogs are great for core stability without the ill effects of some of the more popular ab routines.
But don’t be fooled into thinking ab work will net you a bigger better six pack if you are fuckin 18% bodyfat. Having definition and abs is a function of ***diet. ***
Believe it or not those ab wheels are good shit!!
Thanks for that info Magness. So basically I should workout my abs maybe 3 or 4 time a week?
This is what I normally do with my abs. I will try to reach 100 crunches at one time. I go about half way up and I start feeling the burn around 40 or 50. But thats the only exercise I know of. I feel it only in the upper abdominal. I want to workout the sides of my stomach, so I can have the muscle curve that leads into the crotch area. Anyone know how to achieve that?
I actually train like a powerlifter most of the time. Once I start to cut carbs to get ready for a bodybuilding show, I will start doing less weights and a little more reps. I usually try and keep my reps around 8~12 during the off season!
what body fat percentage does it take for abs to appear?
thx magnus and remy.
as for the abs and bodyfat thing… my searches seem to say about 10% or less in men to see abs.
Every morning I do:
5,000lbx5000reps-squats.
I call it my Five Thousand Diet. It’s so easy.
I have the same problem. I was told leg lifts work the bottom part, but then I don’t feel it all. Then again, DOMS don’t mean anything right? So…
No I work abs maybe twice a week…do you work out ur chest 4 times a week? No, so don’t treat your abs like that. Also, in the original post that bill rizer put up I said that 100 rep sets isn’t going to get you where you want to be!! Read both of those again!! damn.
I disagree, abs heal very quickly and can be done 3-4 times a week.
But you need to do weighted crunches instead of doing 5 million of them if you want to see your abs. ever.
Yea but the reason I asked is becuase after i’m done, I don’t feel the burn anymore. During my reps I feel it, but afterwards it was like I didn’t do anything. Even when I lift weights I can feel the tightness in my arms and chest the next day. I just thought that I should feel that same tightness in the stomach area.
Maybe weighted crunches will help?
We’ll agree to disagree then…but tell me how abdominal muscle differs from any other muscle in the body??..And I’m referring to striated skeletal muscle not smooth muscle.
