Hi, I have two questions: 1. In many training programs you are supposed to do stuff like this: some chest exercise some biceps exercise some triceps exercise some abs exercise another abs exercise When I am training like that, after the first abs exercise I am totally wasted, and I just can't...

Hi Guys. I removed all the lower body exercises from the Lee Hayward 12 weeks program, and I came up with the following. Please don't start telling me that I should train the lower body too. I already had too many of these conversations. I am familiar with all the arguments and I decided I will...

Although its not really for this forum, yet I couldn't find another place, and IronMagazineForums is my favorite site. I like going to trips, but sometimes its a problem, especially when I have to climb for long periods of time, and that usually results in going out of air very early. In any...

I have 2 questions: 1) If I take a recommended portion of supplement after the training, what is the percentage of muscle mass that I will gain sticking to this habbit comparing to the non-supplement period ealier. Will I gain 10% more muscle mass this way, 20%? How much approximately? 2) If I...

From what I gathered in the forums, it is recommended to train abs with many more reps than the other body parts. 1) My first questions is, are there any other body parts that should be trained using large amount of reps(more than 10), that is, what are the body parts that look better without...

Several questions about the best way to train with sets. 1) Should I start the first set as a warm up set, not pushing till failure, or is the first set is like every other set? 2) If I understand that in the next set I won't be able to make the same amount of reps with the same weight as in...

Hello. I would like to get some help with my exercise program which I use for the last 2 months(training only 2 months at all). Yet since I made it myself I am not sure how good is it. I am familiar with the fact that I should switch my routine from time to time to prevent adaption, so the list...

Oops, second time, can't remove :-(

I am a newbie(6 weeks training), and from what I could find on this site, I understand that I should keep a diet for a maximum muscle growth. Now I am eating as I ate before I strated going to the gym, that is - 3 average meals a day. In this period of training I kept my original weight, yet...

I have heard many times that the bodybuilding process is made of 2 phases. Bulking, and Cutting. I understand what bulking is, it is building the muscles mass. Thats what I'v been doing for the last 2 months. I was doing exercises of 3 sets of 6-10 reps. Now I want to know when I should begin...

I'v been training for 2 months now, and I'v gained quite a bit of muscle mass, yet my weight didn't increase. Not only that, I even eat now more than before, having no need to restrain my stomach as before. This is really awesome, I didn't know training has such an effect. I would just like to...

I'v read somewhere that there is only 1 abs muscle, and therefore all the exercises for the abs(sit-ups, crouches, leg exercises) have the same effect on the abs muscle. Having that in mind, a question arises, what is the necessity to have more than 1 abs exercise?

How should I pick the exercises for a particular muscle group? For example, if I have to train biceps, should I choose "Barbell Curl", and "Dumbell Curl", or maybe because these exercises are very similar, doing 3 sets of both, would be exactly like doing 6 sets for each and therefore the...

I usually go to the gym 4 times a week, one hour each time. Sunday: chest/triceps Monday: back/biceps Tuesday: chest/triceps Wednesday: back/biceps. However sometimes happens that I miss one of the trainings. Is it ok to do double training the next day? For example, if I miss the Tuesday...

I go to gym 4 times each week. Is it recommended, or beneficial that except the usual training, I would train my abs every day, or will it be overtraining, and won't accomplish any additional results?

I'v trained for about 6 weeks now, and the result is that my biceps and triceps are stronger and larger in the right arm, even tho I trained equally both hands. Therefore I'd like to train my left hand more. In my gym there aren't enough dumbells, so sometimes I must use barbells. However I am...

I am training my abs muscles, however I'v been told that I won't see the results visually, since I have some fat over the muscles. Yet my weight is only average, and I really don't understand how skinny one must be, for his/her abs muscles to be seen. Should I drop some more weight, or if I...

Well, quite a newbie question. From what I know, most people in the gym do about 10 reps each set. However in some articles here, especially in the thread "10 things to do to gain mass", I'v seen that there should be about 4-6 reps. Is that true? How many reps should I do to look good?

When I train my triceps, while bending my arms, I have some kind of a click in both elbows. When it happens, I also feel the muscle there, changing its place a bit. I asked several people, nobody has this problem, perhaps I have some physiological problem. In any case, this click disturbs my...

Hi. I have several questions here. 1) When I train with the equipment that is supposed to work on the chest, I almost never feel the chest, never the lower/middle chest, and very rarely the higher chest. Instead I feel my hands and the abdomen tiring, and eventually I stop because of them and...
