What is a 21? I've never heard of it. Mind filling me in?
i'm looking forward to showing you guys my gains/cuts when V3 is ready :D
Starting my first "cutting week". I have never been on minus calories for a whole week lol. I've got 1.5 weeks full of exams and job and I have no time to go to gym, so I might as well just get rid of the little excess fat I have, altho I already have quite low BF% at the moment.

Is there any improvement? Weight gain is only about 1.5-2 kg
What should I be doing if I want to make significant gains in my triceps and biceps. Currently, I work by bi's on Monday with some bicep curls (15lbs/6.8kg, 6x20 or 8lbs/3.6kg, 6x30) I switch every two weeks). I hit my tri's on Friday with tricep push-ups (3x12) tricep kickbacks (5lbs, 2x13) and tricep extensions (8lbs, 2x10). Is this enough?

Squat.

Really, do yourself a favor and just start a full body routine.
30 reps sounds too many, try increasing the weight and doing at least 10 reps less

I guess I left this out, but I do do a full body workout. Mon, Wed, Fri is arms/chest/shoulders and running. Tue, Thur, Sat is abs and legs (squats and calf raises).

21 is basically a bicep curl that fiddles with rom and in no way is superior to a regular bicep curl, and it completely ignores the entire back ( which i can guarantee is what is making him stall, and because hes on a calorie defecit)[/QUOTE]
21's can be used for any exercise dumb ass.

oh
anyone do stomach vacuums?
Hullo VQ long time no see. I'm afraid nothing much has happened with weigh but I'm hoping I'll be able to get a mental boost from the summer holiday beginning and therefore begin losing it again.
At the very least the warmer weather adds a couple gallons of more sweat to my workout <.<'

yeah man summer always helps with the energy, especially the sunlight and if you spend time outside
nowadays, when I have time to workout (rarely) I still feel more energized after a 14 hour day of work than I did after 6 hours of lectures during the winter
I've been away from this thread for a bit as well. How y'all doin?

oh[/QUOTE]
does it really not make sense? the same technique works with every workout because there is two major lift components in each exercise
the first half of the repetition
the second half of the repetition
you work the first half 7 times, not the lower
you work the lower half 7 times, without rest, not the upper
then you work the full range of motion 7 times, without rest
it builds fat endurance and if you do 2 sets it helps build your strength and your tendons
i mean how much more do i have to explain it
jesus
VQ, I hate summer and heat and light :P I only meant the lots of free time the holiday brings and nothing else.
i had to set [url=http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3631/wallpaper658680.png]this[/url] as my wallpaper to motivate myself more. i haven't been going to the gym as much as i used to, maybe around 3-4 times a week. gonna start going 5 days a week again.
i'll post a progress pic at the end of the week. i haven't been keeping track of my progress.
Welp might as well post my overal progress thus far.

the exercise is a bicep isolation type protocol, youre just saying you can take the same principle and put it to anything ( which is equally useless). they have no benefits over full rom anythings

what was your diet and routine like
Well I started off going only 3 days a week, but I knew this wasnt going to cut it so I went to a 5 days a week routine, beat up one muscle group a day, and concerntrated on compound exercises (deadlift, squat, bench, military press etc) doing at least 9 sets on each group per day (3 different exercises minimum also).
Now for diet I know for a fact my diet could be better and its what i slack off on the most (must...improve....diet...) but a bulking diet basically the whole time, im an ecto thus I havent gained any fat really at all, I would eat a minimum 6 meals a day and snack throughout the day, having meat at lunch and dinner.
Here is an example of my routine but keep in mind I change it up alot:
Monday Chest:
Warmup light flies (3 sets of 8 reps)
Incline dumbell press (3 sets, 8 reps failing on last rep)
Bench Press (same as above fail on last rep)
Tuesday Arms:
Dips (3 sets till 10 reps)
barbell or EZ bar curls (3 sets 8-10 reps)
hammer curls (3sets of 10)
Skullcrushers (3 sets of 10)
Wednesday Shoulders:
front Raise (3sets of 8)
shrugs (3 sets 8 reps)
millitary press (3sets of 8)
Thursday Back
Deadlifts (3 sets of 8)
bentover barbell rows (3 sets 8)
Chins till failure
Friday Legs:
Squats (3sets 8)
calf raises (3sets of 8)
Lunges (3sets of 20 steps)
Keep in mind I go with how I feel, if I feel like I can do more, I do more. I think I could do better i I stuck to my damn diet lol..
so today's chest day was as chesty as always
I got to spot some guy for the first day today and I actually did it right
fuck yeah go me
[QUOTE=futnuck;30009791]agree, Seith sounds like a scrawny kid who thinks he knows everything about bodybuilding, all i seen him do here is shitpost[/QUOTE]
I bet all I post is shit. You sure you can read?
And you sound pretty damn upset for someone who gives creditable advice. My photos have no correlation with the fact you gave a shitty advice about some unneeded bicep curl exercises Arnold used. You n futnuck on the same 'Bodybuilding Encyclopedia' shit are you guys?
Also, your post still looks like a huge salad of stuff you picked off bb.com. No wonder you recommend curls to a guy who didn't add weight for 6 months. Best solution, is it?

What? I don't.. I... even... what? Fat endurance?
i didn't recommend curls jesus christ
the same concept applies to everything
and no it's not useless, that's a very solid proven technique to help you overcome walls when you need to move up weight or build endurance
and yes i used fat as an adjective
mad endurance, fat endurance, lots of endurance, what the fuck ever
jesus christ you guys make it not worth it

oh hey my muscles are burning i am sure stimulating maximum growth in them , glycogen depletion has nothing to do with it

it is a natural cycle
when you stop pushing yourself you stop growing
that is part of body building
