Thread: workout everyday?

No way. Everyday will lead to overtraining and burn out. Take a look at the stickies. 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off is always good imo.

How advanced are you? Are you natural? What is your age?

There's no magic answer (<- I should sig that.)

i'm 14 nd i workout at home...i mostly curl nd bench

I wouldnt curl and bench more than 2 times a week. You realize you got other muscles right?

Kefe, is that you?

wat other exercises shuld i try? i also do diamond push ups nd tricep extensions

You say you workout at home. What equipment do you have available?

i have a bench press wit bar nd dumbell bar with free weights...dats mostly it

you should join a local gym, its prolly around 30/month or 100 for 3 months, see if you can get your parents to pay some of it or all of it.

start off by reading the stickies like training 101, and designing a routine. dont forget to eat healthy and dont pour junk down your throat.

If you cant and all you got is a bar some weights and dumbells you could do

Deadlift
Bench
Bent Barbell Row
Overhead press
bicep curls

for 3X8 after a good warmup and workout on Mon, Wed, Fri..

be smart and dont try and be superman right away, good luck

How about this
Monday
Bench-3x10
Incline-3x10 (if your bench inclines)
Close grip bench-3x10

Tues-off

Weds Legs
Deadlift-3x10
Lunges-3x10
Wall Squats (or if your bench will allow you it can be used as a squat rack and do squats)-3x10
Calf Raises-3x25 (Holding weights)

Thurs-off

Friday
Barbell Rows-4x10
Pullups-3x10 (if you got somewhere to do it)
Bent over Laterals-3x10 (hopefully you have some type of dumbells or can use some 25's or something
Barbell Curls-3x10

Saturday and Sunday-off, unless you want to do some cardio.

This isnt to advanced just something really quickly thrown together.

wat muscles does the incline work out that the normal bench doesnt?

Incline works about the same, but hits different angles. Now that program isnt the best, but its a good starter. A gym membership would be best, but hey cant have it all.

workout in the 10-15 rep for a couple of months, it will strengthen your joints, and work on good form! most important part of training is form!
also make sure you balance your training or your looking towards injury, also stretch and warmup properly, read the stickies to leanr about all of this.

Upper 45sec RI
Flat Bench 3x10-15
Bent-over rows 3x10-15
Military Press 3x10-15
Pull-ups 3x10-15 if you cant do them do DB rows
Curls/Extensions 3x10-15 alternate

Lower 45sec Rest Intervals
Squats 3x10-15
Deadlifts 3x10-15

Do the upper workout twice a week, and the lower workout twice a week.

Day 1- Upper
Day 2- Lower
Day 3- Off
Day 4- Upper
Day 5- Lower
Day 6 and 7- OFF

FORM, FORM, FORM
go to this webiste and watch the vids exrx.net do lots of reasarch on exercise form, good luck bud

Given the limited equipment that you have available, the push/legs/pull workout that Double D cited in post #11 is the way to go.

If you can do those exercises in a push/pull/legs schedule, you can only do them in a fullbody schedule.

Besides, I'd go for a fullbody program if you're a beginner.

I don't think any more than 3-4 days of resistance training is necessary or even good most of the time. When including cardio, or any other form of exercise in there, I would still give yourself at least 1 day of rest each week.

which exercises workout ur triceps?? and it takes awhile to build visible muscle rite? like muscle where u dont need to flex in order to see

is this the rite way to bicep curls because thats how i do it



but i only curl 30 lbs rite now so is this form rite for me to do with my 30 lbs? if not can someone tell me a better form?

I did 5 - 6 days a week utilising 3 days at the gym & 2-3 at home using a set of DB's & a BB. Managed it for about 5 weeks but it took its toll gradually and I had to drop back. Just could'nt keep it up, it drained me, and i have a remarkable resilience to going at it hammer and tongs. Now i'm doing 3 - 4 days Full body, and it seems about right in terms of recovery, but each to their own, everyone's different.

Agreed

ooo but wats the correct form for a bicep curl?

Go to bodybulding.com and search these things. Its fantastic for things like this.

Well here is what I make sure I do whenever I curl. First off get a good strong stance. Keep your abs tight and stand straight up, with a little bend in your knees. Keep the weight good and controled on the way up and down. Do not swing the weight. Think of your elbows like a hinge and bend from there.

I like 3-4 resistance days, and 3 days of some sort of active recovery, smiliar to CP. I take at least 1 day completely off.

I work out 3x's a week because I am fat.

Suppose I should up it and do some more conditioning on my inbetween days.

Im partial to 4 times per week. 2 on - 1 off - 2 on - 2 off.
