Date: May 28th, 2016 12:18 PM Author: Galvanic School Cafeteria Psychic Looks good. I think high rep is way better aesthetically even if it takes longer. It doesn't look like you are getting much ab work tho. Try doing a ton of pushups and you can hit chest & core & shit all simultaneously and makes you look good as fukk if you do enough (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3236339&forum_id=2#30576157) |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:20 PM Author: Bisexual bawdyhouse I like the way pullups make my abs look, but maybe youre right (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3236339&forum_id=2#30576162) |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:28 PM Author: Galvanic School Cafeteria Psychic Oh okay. i can't do many pullups so I'm not familiar with high rep pullups on abs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3236339&forum_id=2#30576204) |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:28 PM Author: snowy doobsian nowag abs, legs, lower back, supporting shoulder movements, and arms are all curiously absent. Unless this is just the above-the-waist routine in which that list can be pared down.
Pushups are great for muscular endurance and give you a massive chest pump, but they won't make you much stronger or bigger--I did hundreds per day to prep for army fitness tests and my physique didn't really improve. The bench and incline bench are good for this, although doing four sets of both on the same day is overkill--I'll do one set of incline with the bar, one set of flat on the bench (or vice versa) and a set of flat flyes and my chest is good.
Pullups are a great exercise and I'll usually do around 20 with a 20 lb dumbbell. 50 is overkill and getting that high without exhaustion indicates one or more of a few negative things--your lower body is small and weak, your pullup form is shit, and/or you're not targeting upper arms and shoulders enough with the rest of your workout |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:38 PM Author: Bisexual bawdyhouse yeah sorry this is my upper body routine. otherwise I do squats and running ty for the advice though... always looking to change things up edit: what do you like for abs/lower back stuff? |
|
Date: May 28th, 2016 12:46 PM Author: snowy doobsian nowag deadlift is the classic lower back movement, which I don't do because I'm a bitch. I do the leg curl machine instead which is a mostly acceptable substitute and that works the lower back. Cable rows, depending on how much back movement you use, can also work the lower back. More stationary cable rows will hit upper and middle--regardless, I do cable rows every time in the gym as an augment to pullups.
Both of the moves I do above will require machines though which you might not have. The free weight substitute for cable row is a bent over row with dumbbell or barbell.
For abs I do a bodyweight routine twice a week called Ab Ripper X, with my heavy boots on. You can find this on youtube (I think still) or download it illegally. Then once a week at the gym I"ll do decline situps with a 45 lb plate on chest plus captains chair knee-raises with a 70 lb dumbbell between my ankles to hit lower abs |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:49 PM Author: Bisexual bawdyhouse ty for the wisdom man yeah I go to a gym so I have access to machines. I gave up on doing abs a few years ago cause I was going crunches, leg raises, situps galore and ended up with pregnant abs... pullups give me much flatter abs and I still get some definition. but I have been thinking about doing some ab work again... gonna take your advice and see what it do |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:39 PM Author: Galvanic School Cafeteria Psychic I do 1,000 pushups every other day and it makes my chest look good as fuck shirtless but yeah in terms of actual strength I don't know how much... Personally I do it for aesthetics. It's not like I'm trying to be a pro athlete or something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3236339&forum_id=2#30576259) |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:43 PM Author: Bisexual bawdyhouse good! I'm at a new firm and broke up with long term gf, so life is a lot easier now... people at the new firm are good, and while the substantive work is still the same, it turns out having a bunch of friends at work makes a big difference in my happiness. travel can be a fucking grind brother. but at least its summer. got any plans for this weekend? |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:47 PM Author: contagious bearded office partner Glad to hear you're doing well. I was dating a girl for awhile but we broke up about a month ago. Much happier now so I'm convinced it was the right move.
Travel can be rough, especially hard to eat right and get a good workout in. I still like taking he opportunity to get out of the office when I can. Don't get many opportunities like that as a lawyer. I literally got back at 12;45 last night and I'm headed out again soon Tuesday so I'm pretty much laying low this weekend. I am meeting up with a girl on Monday night I think. |

Date: May 28th, 2016 12:52 PM Author: Bisexual bawdyhouse yeah its tough for me to pull the trigger on a breakup but its better than marriage by inertia. glad you made the right move on yours as well! good luck with your girl thing Monday... everybody says hey hate dating but I kind of like the excitement... anyway good to talk to you my dude. glad youre doing ok |
