Build A Model Body!

[Olympus]

mga experts, dito uli ako nagtatanong ng newbie questions, almost finished a month of training or workout or whatever i wanna call it. ang routine kasi nung nagtuturo dito is yung program ko is chest, back and shoulder, 2 weeks ko ng ginagawa yun, alam ko na yung mga protein and carbo rich foods, ang question ko is habang nagdadagdag ako ng bigat ng binubuhat ko, lets say, dumb bells is 5kg, kapag 7.5kg di ko na natatapos isang set or yung bar, magkabilaan siya is 2.5kg, so kapag ginawa ko na 5kg na, di ko na kaya buhatin. so anong advisable na gagawin ko. kasi napapansin ko na the more weight na ginagawa ko, the more na sumasakit katawan after ko training or the day after but its ok nagbabago naman katawan ko, hehehe! lumaki na ng kunti katawan.

 

1. Your training is crap. I don't see any lower body work. I'd suggest you start the 5x5.. Your trainers apparently have no clue on how to train properly

2. You're lifting the weight that's too heavy... focus on being able to complete all sets and reps but still having a challenge

sori di ko pala na add, may machine din na training for lower body, yung nakaupo tpos sa paa may bar, dati 10kg lang but parang magaan so nagtry ako ng 20kg and yung 2nd is yung nakadapa na medyo angat yung puwet, ganun din gawa ko. kasi po ibang lahi yung trainer and di masyado marunong mag-ingles.

kasi yung isang set niya is 10reps, so bawat training is 3 sets.

What gym do you go to? The fact that you don't do squats already means your training is crap.

This is one of the worst programs I've seen (admitted) online in a long time. If you are not doing free weight barbell SQUATS, you might as well not go to the gym.

 

There is nothing that looks more rediculous than a guy with a developed upper body and chicken legs. AND MACHINE TRAINING FOR LEGS IS NOT LEG TRAINING!!!! Unless, that is, you are training for a sabong :hypocritesmiley:

the0mouth,

take Eclipseguy and Olympus' word. ive wasted more than 1 year training isolation exercises (just like what you're doing right now) wherein progress is so slow. i've trained using the 5x5 for just around two months and i have already equaled the progress i have obtained during that 1+year of isolation exercises.

 

check out Eclipseguy's link.

 

better yet.. enroll at Eclipse Gym. i do not work out at Eclipse but based on the testimonials i've read from this forum, it's really enticing to work-out in that gym .

dito ako sa uae bro. bihira kasi pinoy na trainer dito, mostly mga egyptians.

yung sa lower body pala is 3 yung training o workout. kaya nga ako ask sa inyo to be enlighten mga bro. anyway, i really appreciate yung mga inputs, thnx.

[Pepeng Manas]

when im doing deadlifts, the bar slowly slips from my left hand before i finish the 5 reps. im lifting 190 lbs for the deadlift, but i think i can do more than that because i can easily lift that 190 lbs (minus the grip problem). probably around 210 lbs (just an assumption).

 

what i do is i put down the weights, "reset" my grip, and finish the set. is this the right thing to do? should i continue doing this or should i stick to 190 lbs until i develop a stronger grip? any suggestions, gurus?

 

thanks.

Ive started using the grips/gloves with the straps... These things really helo especially after the 270pound mark... at that weight My hand starts to slip as well... but with the grips/gloves with straps, going up to 300 is a little bit more achievable... then you don't have to concentrate soo much on grip.

ive been spreading the word about the 5x5... I have been upping the military though... seriously, kinakapos ako sa standing military press... but the squats and deadlifts are spot on great stuff...

IMO, reseting your grip every rep is just fine as long as your grip remains in the same place in the bar. I haven't thought of using straps as I progressed from 185 to 225lbs, 5x5 at eclipse.

[Pepeng Manas]

thanks for the inputs.

will try to look for those straps.
