My backfield in motion...

We all want a massive back because that is where the muscle is.. The whole back region is composed of so much muscle that if we can develop it to its fullest, we could gain like 30 lbs of muscle alone. Before, my weakest bodypart to train was my back. After years and years of training, i still couldnt have my back brought up. After 3 years of consecutive training without having any improvement on my back, i thought there is something wrong with my training. Bfore i used to break up my training for back because of its complexity. Like 1st week il train for lat width exercises. The next il train for lat thickness. I realized i wasnt able to totally exhaust the whole back region. So it was time for some workout overhauling then. I started to incorporate all back exercises in one workout session. It was exhausting at 1st but after having done the routine 4 3 weeks, i started getting a whole lot stronger. And started to feel the thickness in my back.

Training around an injury...

Picture shown above, my left forearm suffere some bruises. Although it hurts, i still manage to tarin around it. Thats because learning how to control pain benefits our body. It's time to be hardcore! No pain, no gain!

Arms day...

Hello everyone! Today is arms day. I will workout my arms to a new level. In over 3 weeks, i have gained 1 inch on my arm size. Let me tell u all about it. On how i have managed to gain that size in such a short time. 1st of all i have made drastic changes in the way i performed arm exercises. I reshuffled the order of my exercises, and I've added more sets and reps in every exercises, realizing that biceps and triceps muscles should be worked with more sets and reps and they recover faster than any other muscle group in our body. I've changed the way i focus wen doing arm exercises. Usually wen i worked arms, i just rock my way doing curls forgetting the form i use. But this time it's all about strict repetitions and proper form. Not to forget heavy poundage which will give us that overall mass we're after. I used to pump my triceps first, everytime I workout arms because it was my weakest body part. But now that my triceps have finally caught up with size and strength, i switched to doing biceps work at the beginning of every arm workout. that way I can shock the arms.

 

I will hit off with a warmup set of barbell curls with wide grip and close grip to focus more on the outer head of my biceps. 1 warmup set will do with the lightest weight on the bar. then i go up with 20 pound increment. I don't stop doing sets until I feel I can do no more.

 

moving on to the next exercise, is the concentration curls. the heaviest weight possible for me, 4  sets and bingo. next will be triceps exercise...

burning down the chest continued...

To continue on my last post, i wil gve u the step by step instruction of burning dwn ur chest. 1st ws d warmups, nw we'l hav to move on to the main dish. When u fil ur muscles loosen w d wrmup sets, take a breather 4 about 1 minute tops. It should b enuf 4 u to gain back m0re strength. Now, load ur bench press w 50% of your bodyweight and crank out reps without counting them. Stop when u cn do no m0re. Do 6 sets of bnch presses with increments of 50% in poundage. Muv on to flyes w 6 sets. the ryt way to perform flyes is to nevr let d bells touch at the top of the movement, ths wil only take the stress off ur chest. instead, stop about 4 inches short of letting them touch. ul fil d difrnce when u try it. and of course get a full stretch.. thats it 4 nw. to be continued...

Burning down the chest to bring it up...

Kids, i know many of u are dreaming of that herculean chest. I myself dream of it too.. But i cn share with u some of the things i've learned from being a student of bodybuilding. I thought that to be able to bring up ur chest, u got to burn it down as u work it. Here's a sample of my heavy chest routine; it is quite typical for me to engage in heavy bench presses when i work my chest. I never worked on my chest with light weights. But hey, i never forget to warm them up b4 a good pumpin'. First i work my delts for a good warmup. I do some lateral raises since the delts gets a fair amount of beating when u work chest..

Rest...

Boys and girls, always remember that it's not how long you stay in the gym that makes u grow. It's the quality of ur workouts. And of course nutrition after ur workouts. And one more, rest.. When u have finally finished a day of a gruelling workout and u feel that u have gven ur 100℅, then listen to your body, u nid to get some rest to really benefit from that workout... Til next tym!

Lat width...

Hello boys n gerls! In my previous post entitled "back", i mentioned that i have finally found an exercise for widening ur lats. What makes this so important to all trainers is, the width of the lats helps create emphasis on your v-taper. Here it is. The lat pulldown -- when doing this exrcise, concentrate on bringing the bar down to ur clavicles. Not to the middle of the chest, because this causes u to lean backwards too much. By concentrating on bringing the bar down to ur clavicles, u get a squeezing action in the middle of ur back and helps u achieve the pump in the side of ur lat muscles. Thus widening the bellies of the lats. A lot of newbie trainers oftn make mistakes by leaning back too much while doing this exercise. By doing so, the stress transfers to the biceps and not the lats are pumped. Ok so now u got the knwledge of lat pulldowns, why nt give it a try?
