Re: Some recent workouts

Yesterday was one of the rare times I had someone to take photos. Normally I don't train at our gyms for obvious reasons but when I need to get an early start for work I do train at work. Yesterday I asked the trainer to get a shit of me curling and she took video while walking around me which was cool because I was able to stop at two different points and get those shots to post. It's almost incentive to spend a few mornings there to be able to get more videos to use for pics. P.s. This video does my legs no justice either so I will definitely have to get some photos of those. They aren't pro sized but better than what is shown there.

Re: Some recent workouts

2 questions:
Why did you use the decline bench to rest your arms on the rollers instead of a seated preacher?

Why did you kneel on the high pulley?

This is like a very strict seated curl vs regular seated curl, elbows won't drift.

Kneeling at the high pulley gives you a different stretch than if you were standing with your arms at your sides. With arms I always pick three different angles of my arms relative to my body because as the angle changes so does the stretch and the tension shifts to different parts of the bicep.

Re: Some recent workouts

I also should repeat that I do start every workout with 12min if treadmill to warm up and 15-20min to keep my metabolism and appetite up.

Re: Some recent workouts

I tend not to go much lower than 8 reps. When I go heavier I have trouble feeling it in the target muscle and since my focus is hyoertrophy I want to make sure I feel it in the muscle I'm working. If my reps do drop into the low range I will usually turn that set into a drop set to help finish the muscle.

Re: Some recent workouts

do you ever mix it up and go high rep/high volume or super low rep/high weight?

i like your split. not over training but getting good volume with the rep count

Re: Some recent workouts

I do have a progress pic but my wifi signal and my cell signal is shot right now. I'll have to upload it later. Last night my weight was 208. We went to a water park Sunday and a kid asked his dad if I was a pro wrestler. It was kinda cool.
