Equus Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 well... depende yan sayo... In all honesty, I used to split my work outs like you are doing now... i managed to get some gains over the next 2 years... pero madami kasamang injury... Id rather that you do the 5 x 5 pero magpaturo ka... But if you want to tailor fit your workout regimen to your schedule, then just get a good pair of running shoes and run when you can... Honestly, kelangan mo talaga mag commmit ng oras at pagod at dugo para magka resulta ka... But if you "just wanna get fit..." mag badminton ka nalang or take up a sport... thats the best way to get fit na hindi ka pa masasaktan... The moment you hit the weight room and you are serious about making the commitment, then come back to us... But if you really insist on doing this program, you're better of doing full body workout kung twice a week lang... seriously... 2 to 3 days rest in between workout... but be prepared to be really working out and getting into real pain the next day... also higher risk of injury... Thats my suggestion, if just twice a week is all you can manage, full body mo na... Quote Link to comment

What gym do you go to?2. What's your training routine like?3. No injuries or anything we must know that could be hazardous? Start out by eating less of everything particularly the fatty, processed and sweets. eat small but frequent meals and don't skip any meals try doing 15 minutes of HIIT after working out to rev up your metabolism Quote Link to comment

Your routine needs a major overhaul... whoever taught you that is an idiot. Please stop reading muscle mags as they do nothing but sell supplements. I'd suggest two fullbody routines in place of what you're currently doing Just do a 3 minute walk on the treadmill as a warmup. Have you ever considered dropping by eclipse? Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 oh yeah mafia_96 I don't see any leg work in your routine.. please don't give me any excuse as to why you don't train your legs.. I assume you don't wanna look like a kid with polio do you? Quote Link to comment

We have members from fairview, caloocan and cavite. You can focus on doing jumping pullups and doing a slow negative (lowering) Whoever gave you a split program is an idiot because :1. no lower body training2. Split routines started becoming rampant when steroid use was on the rise3. A beginner will never get maximum benefits from split routines and slit routines often develop a lot of imbalances since it focuses on bodyparts rather than movements Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Add to that, I'm from paranaque. I make the trip because:1. I want results and know that other gyms won't be able to give me the results I want. I've been a member of slimmers world, gold's gym and several hole in the wall gyms2. Eclipse has the proper training equipment so that I can maximize my results. 3. Coaches who can answer any question that may pop out of my mind.4 Most of all, money's worth Quote Link to comment

If you train and eat right, by Christmas, you'll be down to 190 at least. I'm one of the assistant coaches there. The head coach and director is Eclipseguy and he also posts here.

Olympus Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Here's a point to considerr when selcting a gym if the coaches ther don't look like they work out and can't give you intelligent answers to your questions, get the hell out of there and run with your money. Quote Link to comment
