TweetI switched from a high volume bodybuilding workout to a very low volume powerlifting routine and my strength gains have been thru the roof.
TweetI just wanted to check and see how everyones trainging is going. If you are lifting weights, or just doing some cardio to burn fat. List below how your routine is going, and the changes you have made. This can help motivate you and others.
I will start off:
As of right now I want to go back to the gym. I can't seem to get enough lately. I have been taking off on the weekends, but Like tonight I started working out at the house. I make sure I get plenty of rest. I started off running for 10 min, about a month ago. I m now running 3 miles a day. And for weight lifting, I m hitting all the things I didn't want to before. My target this time around is my legs and back. I have good build on my shoulders, biceps, etc. I m not leaving those out. But I m going to hit the legs and back harder. I can tell a big difference in the last 3 weeks. I m getting closer to where I used to be. Then I m going to blow up....
Bicep
TweetI switched from a high volume bodybuilding workout to a very low volume powerlifting routine and my strength gains have been thru the roof.
TweetI took off about two months to rest some tendon problems I was having and now I'm so slammed with work I make it barely. When I do go, I have to do a lot of shit cause I don't know when I'll be back. But, you gotta do what you gotta do.
TweetLast week I was off schedule a little bit because I missed 2 days in a row due to car problems but I made up for it Friday and Saturday. This past month I've been working out 4 days a week. I combine chest and bi's and tri' and back just to do something different. Legs and shoulders I work by themselves. I started working on abs again and I've been doing 20-30 minutes of cardio before each workout. I just started doing a new routine for chest. Instead of 3 sets of 6 reps now I do this:
- 2 warm up sets of no more than 4 reps
- set 1: 1 rep max
- set 2: 40lbs over 1 rep max as a negative
- set 3: 1 rep max again
- set 4: 20lbs under 1 rep max until failure
- set 5: 20lbs under set 4 until failure
the guy who taught me this routine claims I can increase my bench by 50lbs in 2 months. I'll see how this goes.

Tweet10 mins cadio/warm up. mod weight, 10-12 rep range. started to prioatize my legs and shoulders last week. training four days week.
Tweetstill doing heavy no more than 8 reps and no less than 3 reps , wt a rest of 2 mns between each set...
TweetMy training rocks ! I do nothing but the heavy, get my cardio from backpackin'. Seems like the more shallowness and rejection I get from society,... something jus clicks in me. Instead of gettin' all bummed,...I train harder, climb higher or push some kind of limit from within myself. Today is day two of yet another M1T cycle,.. Im adding Fina but it will be injected this time. Let the bodies hit the floor !

TweetTraining heavy with decreased volume and switching up my routine weekly. When I come back to my same routine I'm lifting more weight and doing more reps than the previous time. It's working great. I just really have to log everything down well so I don't forget what I did the previous week. Strenght is going up each week. Unlike before I would do the same routine week after week and lift the same weight week after week.
TweetAlways change somthing up. Use a different machine, or try a different exercise. All around everyone so far seems on track. Keep pushing it guys. Set high goals. But high enough you can reach them so you can set more goals!
