Equus Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 pepeng manas, Add on the weight... put on more weight on the military press till yer bleeding out of yer ears without sacrificing your form... thats how to offset or augment... Quote Link to comment
Equus Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 ehhehehehehehehe... easy oly... puso mo bro... in fairness to OLY and EG though, bro telemaster, makulit ka nga... pa ulit ulit ulit lang mga concern m o na hindi ka naman sumusunod dito at subukan yung mga pinag sasabi dito... Nakaka frustrate nga naman... I guess we'll have to spell it out for you... Cut and paste mo yung program dito, print it out, and have your trainer design your program based on the basic primer... these guys have been generous enough to share the knowledge, its up to us on how to use it or use it at all... tell your trainer to do that program as an experiment... he might even learn a thing or two...and baka ikaw rin... malay mo lumaki nga katawan mo... not unles your one of those weekend gym types who know nothing else but whine and complain and whine about how hard it is... pre no pain no pain... heheheheheheh... Kung wala kang balak makinig or gawin yung mga nasabi sayo nun pa, stop complaining... otherwise, diskartehan mo na at gawin mo na yung mga nakalagay dito... baka naman kasi sobrang nahihirapan ka, in which case at least test of manhood yan... are you man enough to take on the pain? are you man enough to want the change so bad that you are willing to sacrifice blood, sweat and guts to achieve yer goals? dude, the choice is yours...

Eclipseguy Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 question lang EG and Oly, i've been doing the 5x5 for 4 weeks now. what can i do to modify it a little so it can have more emphasis on the delts? i feel like i have lagging delts. what i did is to add an extra set for the military press. instead of doing 4 sets, i made it 5 sets. is this ok? what other suggestions can you give? thanks. You need to specialize in Military press and de-emphasize bench press. This is outlined in the 5x5 primer and also the jump training primer in the same forum. I train all of my pro athletes specializing in the Military press twice per week. Honestly, I hate the bench press. It causes too many rotator cuff and/or tendon problems over time. Even though it's technically my strongest lift raw (325lbs) at 185lbs, I still hate bench. Standing military press is much better a far more functional (and it makes you look more 3-D).

Olympus Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 any recommended work out for Mixed Martial Artist or fighter... I am a Brazilian Jiujitsu student... Are you currently off-season ( focusing on getting bigger and stronger) or pre/in season where you're preparing for a tournament? Quote Link to comment
D. Sanchez Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Are you currently off-season ( focusing on getting bigger and stronger) or pre/in season where you're preparing for a tournament? Not really competing for this year probably by next year if I am really ready in any amateur tourneys here in Manila! Just wanted to be fit and in good condition. I do not drink those pills like the creatine (Crea Cuts) which makes me sick - I guess that is the side effect of performance enhancing supplements when I tried those a few years ago. :boo: I am off a slack for the past few months due to work in the office. I've been practicing a little bit but the demand of works is very high leaving me on a deskjob with papers to work on medical check ups of military personnel rotating to Iraq. I've already quit the U.S. military service after 5 years last September. By Next semester, I am going back to college here in Quezon City to finish my degree. I do not know if I can manage to haggle the demands of schools plus workout. Tinatamad na ako pag-ganoon. Quote Link to comment

When in competition training, EDt type workouts would be handy Quote Link to comment

juan_diego Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Model body? Do you guys mean body of a cat walk male model? You don't have to do much I guess. Just keep the fat of your body and exercise reqularly. I think the most important thing for a male model is to keep the V-shape of the body - trim waist and broad shoulders. To achieve this, try swimming regularly. I've done this several times and it always works. I mean, whenever I get fat (because of eating a lot and inactivity), I swim regularly and the fat comes off. Plus, my back muscles become more defined, my shoulders become broader, my arms more defined and my abs get more definition. The nicest part is my legs and thighs, which are often neglected by gym people, get exercised too. Thus, I avoid the Johnny Bravo/chicken legs look. Quote Link to comment

The ironic thing about this post is that most competitive swimmers spend just as much time in the weight room as they do in the pool. This obviously isn't seen as much here in the Philippines since most swimmers I've met are still in the Stone Age with respect to their competitive preparation. A couple of prominant former local swimmers and their coaches are working with me for change and modernization of the swimming programs. In a few years we might finally see balance in training and thus the Philippines might have a chance in competitions beyond the Seagames. Take home message....you need to do other forms of strength training to improve your performance in the pool. Quote Link to comment
crazykalbo Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) correct! my alma mater's swim team (SBC Mendiola) can attest that swimmers also need other forms of strength training like lifting weights, etc. nobody can complain about their program since last time i checked they have been the ncaa swimming champion for 5 consecutive years. hehehe!
