Starting Strength routine ? Nice. How's it working out for you in terms of physique?

4 sets of dumbell chest press.
15kg x 10reps (i thought this was just warming up, but apparently we were replacing barbell with this), then 25kg x 10reps, then 27.5kg x 8 or so reps, then 30kg x 5 reps
>_________< fffuuuuuuuu i am awesome
then dumbell chest fly, 12kg 10x3
then barbell bench, 50kg, 10x3
finished off with an embarassing bicep curl, couldnt finish because i was ded :(
you won't achieve anything with this type of exercise, except for injured shoulders.

plz explain.

are u talking about the whole increasing the weight after each set thing? how will that injure me?

also i was just doing what my m8's were doing, otherwise i'd just pick a heavy weight and do 3 sets of 6-8 reps.

nah im no cyclist hahaha....i do classes on a daily basis (mon-friday).. i've been doing indoor cycling (freestyle / RPM) for almost two-three years on top of the other classes (pump / attack / balance / occasional step)... that sums up to be a group fitness junkie, and i love it!:D

some days i'd do two classes in a day, purely for fitness reasons and it keeps my head in the fitness buzz :skip:

you're placing far too much emphasis on your arms. you should pay minimum attention to your arms since your arms are continually being worked out by the exercises that work out other parts of your body, such as shoulder exercises, pectoral exercises, back exercises, etc.

excessive bench pressing will cause damage to your shoulders.
