^Don’t stress over it, but don’t let it happen again.
…
I found out the answers to my previous question, it’s an obvious answer lol.
N02 for bulking, thermogenics for cutting (duh). But is there any point in taking creatine when cutting?
Day 4 of Superdrol; still at 10MG ED.
The Good:
More vascular. Might be the warm weather, but the veins in my arms are jumping out.
The Bad:
Nothing negative to report yet.
Hopefully I shed some bodyfat on this cycle. I don’t really care about gaining muscle, as long as the SD does it’s job of preserving it, I’ll be happy. I’m dieting BTW. 500cals below maintainence (don’t wanna go too low). Not doing any cardio, don’t want ot burn too many carbs, I’ll feel dead.
No it doesn’t…workouts should still be around an hour…but you do less per muscle…you stimulate growth…but don’t just kill it…I used to do upper lower splits…here’s a sample workout
Upper day 1:
Bench press
Dumbell Rows
Military Press
Pull Ups
Superset Incline Flies and Reverse Flies
Superset Barbell Curls and Overhead Extensions
It’s been a month and a half since I’ve been doing biceps like this so I’m just expecting them to be a bit bigger than I expected. Preacher curls? Details on them such as how to do them and why they’re good?
Preacher curls are actually really bad for your elbows over extended periods of time… don’t do them every arm workout.
personally i might do 3 sets of a curls a week, they get enough indirect work
here’s the article from the May 2006 issue of Men’s Health:
and here’s the routine Alwyn Cosgrove designed (which was an inset in the article):
it typically takes me 90 minutes of total lifting for the entire week. so that’s roughly under 30 minutes per resistance training session.
in case you don’t see it, Cosgrove recommends different sets/reps per training day. for instance, on Monday you’ll do 4 sets of 5 reps; Wednesday will be 2 sets of 15 reps; Friday will be 3 sets of 10 reps.
it’s all explained in the article.
oh. and by the way, i do interval cardio on the days i’m not lifting.
:rock:
i felt good on today’s workout ! fooooo~
i trained my backs and forearms .
here’s some motivation
[media=youtube]NMVxhQmMI8o&search=Hard%20Gay[/media]
Fooooooooooooo~
I usually train like this:
Sunday night: Triceps, Chest, abs
monday night: Biceps, Back, Shoulders
tuesday night: Hamstrings, quads, calves
Wed: nothing, cardio optional
thurs: Sunday’s routine
fri: monday’s routine
sat: nothing, cardio optional
Would I possibly get better results if I allowed one day of rest between each of my lifting days, so that I was only lifting Sunday, Tuesday, and thursday, with friday and saturday off and monday and wednesday as cardio days, or is that too lazy? Or should I just plain skip a day between lifting sessions, and not have assigned lifting days? I’m not sure consecutive lifting days are allowing me enough recovery time…
supersets is good i heard , care to explain ??
i’ll be doing this 
… just read this article http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/gastelu15.htm
watch some clips
what is negative reps ???
It’s called undulating periodization.
If you don’t use some form of periodization in ur training you should…
Superdrol is not bad stuff but its not M1T either. Sleep becomes a problem with some people and at your size I’d imagine 20mgs is where you’d want to go. It is (IMO) better for cutting than bulking though so that should help. I’m not overly warm to the current crop of pro-steroids.
about that undulating periodization…i started a routine of doing heavy/low rep one week and lighter/high rep the next week and so on. is that decent?
i don’t do HIIT/cardio after chest and biceps workout , is it ok ?
reason is that , i want to burn fats , but not to lose muscle .
i got the feeling that my muscles shrinks after 20 minutes of cardio/HiiT session after the weights .
You should be fine, since you are targeting different areas on different days, allowing you a decent recovery period between that and your next workout.
I don’t do HIIT after a chest workout (I do normal cardio). In terms of muscles “shrinking”, you’re just losing that pump you get when doing lifting. Nothing abnormal about that.
I understand what you’re saying. I was definitely doing too much before, on both the lifting and the cardio work. I tend to go overboard with whatever I get involved in, that’s just the way I am. I think before I was basically doing a full body workout every other day with the lifting and doing cardio every day for like an hour, and it was just too much. I did see good results, but since I lost so much fat, I was able to back off some now from the cardio. I was getting burned out from the lifting, as my sessions would last around an hour, and that was too long for me (every other day).
Now I just hit each main muscle group once a week, and I’m still seeing good results, my workouts are shorter, but more intense, and I’m not burning myself out anymore. I guess people need to do what works for them. My goal for the lifting is not be huge or anything, but to be more defined, so I would probably be lifting less often than some of you guys here who are going for size. I guess if you’re going to really get bigger, you would have to lift more often? Is that correct?
I know there are many ways to approach this, and it depends on what you want to accomplish. I am still very much a novice when it comes to this stuff, but I’m learning.

I have a question guys.
My goal for this for this summer is to lose inches on my waist. My waist is one of my main problems and I really want to see how much I can lose in 3 months. This summer I am hitting the gym again, but I need a solid work out for losing inches. I feel good about the rest of my body, except the sides a little bit. Is cardio the only thing that will help me achive this?
I read that you can’t just target “love handles” and that you must lose fat from the entire body to reduce those love handles. I just want like 2 pants sizes by the end of the summer. I also order the “Fitness Made Simple” yesterday.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

So my original workout pattern is okay?
That’s good yeah…There’s a pretty popular program that people are doing now called Power/RepRange/Shock…one week you do 6-8 rep sets, the next you do 8-12 rep sets and the third week is all supersets and dropsets…wash rinse repeat.
You also want to change up the workouts too. If I was doing this program I might do heavy barbell work on power week…then do lighter dumbell work the next week and for the drops and supersets I might do some cable work and some dumbell work…
Oh and that is called alternating periodization.
it’s definitely a change of pace. i think i was getting stalled out on my same old routine. i might try that 3 level routine
