What Excercise Did You Do Today? (4 Viewers)

[b00m]

Assisted wide-grip pull ups
Bent over row
Lat pull down
T-bar row
Deadlifts

Everything 3x8-12 except deadlifts I do 15-20 at 40kg then max out at 65 (usually 3-5ish by the end)

EDIT: also did shoulders

Upright row
over head press
lateral flies
rear delt flies

for a girl, you seem very committed to weightlifting. What's the motivation?

 

[_trickster_]

yeah and it doesnt seem as if youre training just for your health
tbar rows, rear delt flies arent exactly common exercises

You got my back.

I'm training for a figure comp in September next year (if i can get enough size I might do "bodybuilding" instead of "figure" because you don't have to do any of that bullshit dancing around like a sissy and it's a natural comp, so i'm not going to be freaky big). I've been training since March and I'm getting more addicted as time goes by.
I train 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day if I'm doing HIIT/steady state and weights.
I don't know why I love it, I just do. The feeling after a workout when you've pushed yourself so hard the pain in your muscles is like someone poking a hot rod through them is amazing. "Normal" people can't and won't tolerate that kind of pain for results, but I will. Things just make sense in the gym.

Today:
Leg press 4x10
Single leg squats with rear leg raised on a bench 4x12
Front squats 3x12
Leg curl 3x8-12
Stiff leg dead-lift 3x15-20
Single leg leg extension
*protein shake*
Seated calf raise 4x12-15

Walked to school.

Wait, you do HIIT and weights on the same day?

Wait, you do HIIT and weights on the same day?

HIIT in the morning and weights in the evening if I double up.

EDIT: and I probably wouldn't do HIIT on the same day as back or legs because they're both really energy consuming. I'd do it on chest or arms or shoulders day, otherwise it'd just be steady state cardio.

'twas back day today.

I did:
wide grip lat pull down superset with close grip, underhand pull down
Seated row
Deadlifts superset with t-bar row 4x12 each exercise
1 last set of deadlift. I tried to do 60kg and got it down then back up then down and was like 'fuck this shit is heavy'
turns out I loaded 2 25kg plates on the bar, not 2 20kg plates so i did 70kg not 60 lolol i'm da best!

EDIT: also did 20 minutes HIIT afterwards

SoggyBiscuit, have you ever tried swimming with a band? No pull buoy.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

what's a band?

also, it's kfnmpah if you didn't realise already

 

[b00m]

i think he means strapping a rubber band onto your ankles.

used to do that when i swam. it's a lot tougher

I know =)

Who else tells the forums of all their gym exercises?

Exactly this. Advantageous in so many ways:

1. Since no kicking, it works your arms harder.

2. Your legs will sink and cause a lot of drag, and the only way to keep them up is by using your core muscles.

3. If ever you go bungee jumping into a dam and the cord breaks, but your feet are still tied together, you can always swim to safety no problems.

I take a long walk regularly in the morning and evening. Do yoga for half an hour.
