Sana di OT...

 

I don't think my genetics will allow me to get THE model body. What I really need to is find a way to lose that last bit of flab all over and gain just a bit more definition... using just a pair of dumbbells. Yes, I know it's far from ideal but realistically this is what I can consistently do right now.

 

Day A, 3 circuits:

 

push-ups

bent over row

Arnold press

bent over lat raise

concentration curl/triceps overhead extension superset

 

then crunch/side crunch, 3 sets...

 

Day B is:

 

3 sets, dumbbells in each hand by the side, thighs parallel to floor squat to Jump, 8 reps

 

then superset squat/deadlift (the dumbbells are not that heavy) superset x 3

 

then calf-raise/shoulder shrugs superset x 3 (weird combo I know)

 

then crunches

 

 

Yeah, weird and piecemeal and possibly not really that workable... so can anyone help me out? THanks...

I believe that with proper training, you can get the model look. Get on a better routine, that routine is crap. Whoever, taught you that deserves to be shot.

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.

 

You may be right but the point of this thread is not to improve one's performance in any field of sports but to look good, thus the topic of this thread - How to have a model body.

Correct, but I know of very few men who wouldn't want to have the body of a gymnast or a sprinter. Beyonce Knowles was a sprinter in college and still trains like one for her "bootylicious" effect.

 

This is also why most athletes are heavily recruited by modeling agencies. I was given offers twice last week...both to be a model and to help the help the agency heads train theirs.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to have boxers abs, swimmer shoulders, gymnat chest and arms, kickboxer legs and cyclist calves.

 

Many athletes are models when they are not competing so its still best to train like one. besides I'm sure anyone would like to have a body that looks and performs good as well

question:

 

how do i prevent back injuries because of dynamic rowing?

 

last SAT when i was doing the rows, on my third set, my lower spine (i think) somewhat cracked (crack meaning like that of when you stretch, that cracking sound from the bone joints). after which, i cant continue to do the rowing anymore because of the pain. i was doing a measly 160 lbs rowing, BTW . do you recommend using the "back support belt" (is that what it is called?) while doing dynamic rows? will that do any good?

 

thanks.

Check your form. Most peple take an average of 20 minutes to learn the proper form
