Tim Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well Questions. I've been TRYING alot these past 3 months to tone my god damn stomach and eventually get my way towards 6 pack but heres the problem. I've NEVER done any form of work out before, I do not know what the hell a "rep/repetition" is nor a way to efficiently tone up. 3 months now and I have barely seen any progress in my stomach, only my arms and legs/thighs. what the heck do I do? Im at 5'9" and weigh 72kg at 19 if that makes ANY help. I dont care if I have to cut back on eating habits (which is usually 400ml of coke a day due to some unusual habit of getting thirsty alot and go for the coldest thing near me), push myself beyond limits etc. I've got free GYM access but no trainers to help me so im kinda solo.

Stop drinking soda. If you're thirsty, drink water. Eat better too, exercising is only half the battle, you need to eat right too.You need to lower your bodyfat percentage if you want to have visible abs, and you also need to do ab isolation exercises if all you're going for is abs.Situps, crunches, heavy squats and deadlifts, captain's chairs, whatever.A repetition is just how many times you perform a certain exercise, for example 15 situp reps would be doing 15 situps. a set is a fixed amount of reps. 3 sets of 10 reps, 4 sets of 20 reps, etc etc Do Starting Strength if you're looking to pack on some muscle all over yer body.

Lol same. I don't even understand what have these terms refer too and I have never even touched a weight in my life. In order for you to graduate from high school, most (see: most, not all) United States high schools require you to complete 1-2 years of some physical education class. At my school, you had to do at least two years. You also had the option to substitute this with sports (so, if you were on the football team/cheerleading squad, etc., you weren't required to do extra classes.) A lot of high schools offer weight-lifting classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblinpie Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 At secondary school you had 5 years of compulsory P.E (you had to do it every year), but for the last two years you could opt for GCSE, which would give you 2 Practical lessons and a theory per week. Part of this was Circuit training and weight lifting. I have no idea what I can bench (it wont be much). I'm pretty slim, I'm about 5 foot 11 inches and weigh roughly 130-140 pounds (pretty sure it's on the lower end of that). I reckon 100 pounds would probably be too much, but I dont go to a gym or do much training, and since I dont get in fights or do martial arts, I do not need to gain a lot of muscle :) POH Agility Course, Please Support!

Images as example: Slim body like this:[hide=][/hide] NOT the body I want:[hide=][/hide] Okay, the second body takes years and years and years of training, and possibly steroids.Just because you lift weights doesn't mean you'll get monster massive, there's nothing wrong with having lean muscle all over your body, but you'll probably never have obscene amounts like that guy.

Gandalf14141 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I can bench like 120 (maybe a little less) and I weigh about 140. I think I'm strong enough to bench 140 or maybe more, but I've injured both my shoulders and they hurt a lot if I do to many reps or too much weight. Anyways, I know a guy who benches 350 pounds.

justcallmedaddy Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I want to get bigger but I have very limited resources (two 5 lb. weights, two 2.5 lb. weights, and a bar with i dunno how much weight). So my question is, if every night I consistenly do push ups, tricep dips, and curls with the weights mentioned above, will I have something to show for Spring? And how much/little would you guess? Edit- oh and I already have strong legs and a strong stomach, I just want bigger arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Most likely not. I've gotten some results doing pull-ups daily, but I also curl bench and squat twice a week, so that's more likely where those are coming from. I'm not even close to an expert though, someone else can give you better information.

I want to get my hex up to 400 lbs and my bench to 300.... I've been lifting since highschool however I was not physically tax'd until I started my military career. However, when I am on a bulk cycle I will focus on my diet first and foremost to ensure that I'm maintaining proper nutrition when taking in my protien to carb ratios. (I feel this is important.) But generally to build my strength I followed a very simple rule. If I could do 7 reps, I wasn't lifting heavy enough. Essentially I would do 6 rep maximum sets until I could push 7, and I would increase weight for one of the sets, gradually working my way up. However, as far as my body fat is concerned.. I'm unsure as to the policy this forum has on supplementation. But an ECA stack does wonders. The weight I posted are current as of last week. But I'm currently on a cutting cycle.. I've noticed a Rough 25 pound loss on my bench and about 5 on my curls.So on a strength cycle, I sit roughly at 315 for safe max on bench. I've been cutting for aproximately 2 months. I'm in Iraq, one of the best things a man can do is go home shredded.. It works well with the "I just got home from War" Story. justcallmedaddy, on 02 November 2009 - 08:00 PM, said: I want to get bigger but I have very limited resources (two 5 lb. weights, two 2.5 lb. weights, and a bar with i dunno how much weight).

Edit- oh and I already have strong legs and a strong stomach, I just want bigger arms. I would do research on full body exercises that can be done without the use of weights. P90x uses many of these techniques and may be good for a person of you goals. However, I tend to shy from fitness fads of that nature.
