When I Started:
Sep, 2006
How I Started:
Ive had some free wieghts at home for quite some time they were an old xmas present. One day i thought hell why not have a bit of a workout, I got hooked from there.
Why I Love It:
I love the pump, and its great that you can actually mesure the gains you make.
How I Stay Motivated:
Everytime I see a copy of "Mens health" for example I say to myself every workout I get closer to that cover model.
BB Accomplishments:
Getting my arms from a weedy 11.5 inches to currently just over 15
Now into cutting for summer so have reduced carb intake and boosted protien intake am also now taking glutamine. Am doing cardio 4 days a week excluding my tae kwon do training. Im just about at the end of my self allotted improvement period, and this week has mostly been active recovery,...
Thanks for the add, working on the pics. Need to get my wife to do them for me, I don't know how to load that stuff and the computer at home's down for the moment.
thanx for the reply,
sounds a good routine.
i train my chest and back in same workout,then shoulders/arms the next day ,the legs a day after with a days rest in between,depending how i feel.
Will follow this plan for a long time till my body has a solid base.
Hey Tony John here, Me and Baz were chatting the other day and I thought I would pop in and offer some advice, but loks like Baz has beaten me too it! He is Spot on, Free weights all the way with the focus being on standing movements for your sport, standing press, Deadlift and squats to jumping squats with barbell or dumbell (ply) But If you stick to what Baz has outlined heavy free weights with medium to high reps with lots of focus on core!!! All the best !!!
I've worked exstensivley with John on core muscles using free weight training and can now perform kicks and punches with a massive amount more power and control than before, also abs and obliques are most important, hope this helps and if you need any more advise let me know, this has given us an idea for a new episode sometime in the future though, cheers mate keep training Baz
Hey Tony, sorry for not getting back earlier been snowed under, as for your question on training for your TKD, my advise is that anything like squats is a good idea but mostly any free weight training is important, as training with free weights incorporates your core muscles and they are the muscle group that will help you the most with any breaking and any part of martial arts training.Continued in next comment
