I don't think you're overtraining them.Originally Posted by Shaky3
Question:
My Saturday's consist of Chest, Triceps, and Shoulders. Brett you said "Triceps receive enough work from your chest exercises to suffice, however 3x of tricep pull downs may not hurt."
I do 3 chest workouts (DB, Incline, and Flys)
2 shoulder workouts (Lateral Raise, machine)
then I save 3 tricep workouts for the end (Skullcrushers, Pulldown, Dips)
Am I overtraining my triceps since chest and shoulder workouts use triceps too?

Maybe I should have clarified....motivation and inspiration are two different things. Motivation puts you in a sort of state where you're ready to undergo certain tasks, but it's only temporary. Inspiration runs much deeper (Ex. My swag...) and puts you in awe...it's like comparing battery power to Nuclear power, yadidamean?Originally Posted by HardWork919
LOL what can I say? Women are my�only�vice besides cursing... I'll try my best to keep up with this thread and see if the motivation remains...Originally Posted by keepzdasneakz
^I think your problem is that you were only motivated by women. You need some inspiration to get off your %*! and go to the gym without being phased.

For a more tangible reference....
Motivation:
Inspiration:
For me at least...I don't know about you but a girl can't get me to go workout and get in shape, but knowing� a man in his 60's completing Iron Man competitions while burdened with the load of his paraplegic son will.
I respect that..

^ thats interesting.
I hate the saggy chest type aesthetically, even though my goal is performance rather than looks. Do you think it would help to focus more on inclince (bb and db) rather than flat?
Im on a compound programme (strong lifts) and the only sort of chest exercise is flat bb bench and push ups.
I supplement doing regular benching by doing different types of pushups which you've been doing so I think you should give incline flyes, incline press, guilottine press or what have you at a medium incline...learn from my mistake and don't put the bench up too high unless your targeting the anterior delts.
Yea one flat press is okay...I would suggest mixing it up though each week from a flat press, to flat flyes, and try a guillotine press aimed so that the bar is more towards the neck when descending...i've replaced my incline press with it and it's a nice change.Originally Posted by mloonz88
Grimlock- do you think it would be alright to go with just one flat bench, and then multiple incline presses......ex. flat dumbell,incline dumbell,incline smith machine bench, incline flys, flat flys?
I have a pretty developed chest but would definetly wanna develop the upper portion, compared to he other areas.
you're supposed to arch your back on sqauts and deadlifts.... alot of people round their backs and do goodmorningsOriginally Posted by DaBuddhaWitJays
so uhhhmmm....
how long until my hamstrings are flexible enough to be able to squat $@# to grass with good form and minimal pressure on my lower back.
because apparently i tuck in my pelvis and my lower back begins to arch when i go low which is why ive been experiencing lower back tightness after 100 reps of squat...?
ive been stretching them everyday for the past 1 1/2-2 months

So i'm going to start strength training in july and I want to start using creatine...anyone have any particular brands they want to vouch for because I haven't used creatine in 7 years since I was in high school so idk what is a good brand people use now...i'm looking for creatine monohydrate with no additives or things like that.

Do ya eat fish...? I'm not sure they make fish in the form of lunch meat but fish goes alright with rice. Tilapia's the kind I eat. Lowest fat content....Originally Posted by Hyper Cutter
The suspensions were deserved, considering the rules of the thread. He called everyone ugly. A few others did as well.
Anyway, I'm sick of chicken sandwiches. I want a new lunch meal, something I can eat with rice (for carbs) and something that has some decent amount of protein in it (NOT chicken). Anyone discover the holy grail of lunches?
