Abs- repeat days 1 and 3

Thursday- Legs- same as days 2 and 4 but plyometrics (3x15)

All the major muscle groups (shoulders, legs, back, chest) have a 1 minute rest between sets and 1.5 minute rest between exercises, same with abs. Smaller groups (triceps, biceps, forearms) have a 30 second rest between sets and a 1 minute rest between exercises. This intensifies each workout and ensures fat loss and lean muscle mass. Each session last around 45 minutes to an hour, NO LONGER! Plyometrics have a 2 minute break as they are a major, major workout!


Added onto the weights training I play 75 minutes of soccer/football every day and I perform 4 plyometric exercises on leg day mornings and evenings and stretch 3 times a day, with the option of yoga at night. I also try to do breathing exercises to improve cardiovascular fitness daily. I would love to fit in swimming as a total body cardio routine, or ju jitsu, as I used to do it daily, but I have no time. School takes up a huge chunk of my day.

Bodyspace-for pervs???

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:59pm
I recently joined bodyspace and since I have been on, have seen and recieved so many comments about people's and my body, that are nothing short of perverted. . I mean, are people on here to find hotties and potential "soulmates"??? Is this an online dating site?? Are we not trying to network our bodies to become known, if not in the world of bodybuilding and fitness, then modelling, not porn. . . Do we not want to recieve encouragement thats none sexual, so we can just carry on using the site without feeling, in some cases, violated???

sponsorship

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:59pm
Im sure you've seen my goals to be a world famous trainer, win the world fitness expo's, be on the cover of various magazines etc and at the rate i'm going, it feels possible. At the moment i am taking branch chain amino acids, but feel,as i get older, to become more ripped amd muscularly cut, i would need a sponsor for supps, asthey are very expensive. How would i go about getting one and do you think it's neccesary, orwill my muscle improve and become more dense and seperated as i become older????

Alvaritus
Alvaritus Then, the only thing I can say to you is good luck at the show and at the same time on finding a sponsor, but I think you don't need it because you've qualities to be one of the firsts. Keep me informed about it. Training is going fairly good, but now at the university it's more difficult to find time than I thought. I've always have to do projects and I can't find time to dedicate on workout. Best wishes. Feb 8, 2010 4:21pm
Alvaritus
Alvaritus Wow! You've progress a lot during those months. Now your muscles look solid and very huge, congrats. Keep the good work because in my opinion it's the only way to improve your results. How's your training and diet coming along? Are you thinking about going on a contest? Feb 6, 2010 5:13am
