Heisenberg Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 How does one go about performing the proper deadlift... As well, I own a pull up bar for my door but sadly I will break the door if I use it. Is there a way to re-create pull up exercise without a pull up bar? I am NOT going to the gym to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (pretty sure it's in this thread somewhere) anyone have an effective workout routine for ectomorphs? Finding it tough to stay motivated to try and build when the results of your heaving are lost so easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Damn, my deadlift strength dropped LOL. Gotta start alternating deadlifts/squats every leg work out perhaps. I had the same issue with squats two months ago but regained my norm in three weeks and added an extra 40lbs in the few weeks after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ok I've been thinking of getting myself back in the gym. Used to workout all the time a few years ago. I used to go with a guy who actually ended up being a body builder, so he was very helpful in giving me proper workout techniques. I don't want to go hardcore or anything, just want to build up my muscles. I'm already in decent shape as I play lots of hockey and I walk/run 3 hours a day. I want to focus on a different muscle each day. Taking weekends off. If I remember correctly I would do; 1.Arms/Shoulders 2.Chest/Back However i can't remember when I would throw in a leg workout or if there was anything else I need to add. I think that's all I have to ask for now, if I think of anything else I will come here and post it. Only thing really delaying me from going to the gym is that I would have to do it before work, so I would need to get there around 5:30am. Also is it best to eat something before your workout or after? I'm usually pretty hungry 1st thing in the morning and don't function well if I don't eat.

DefCon1 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Mondays: Chest and Tri's Tuesdays: Back and Bi's Wednesday: Core and Legs Thursday: Chest (different type of work out) and forearms Friday: Core and Traps Weekend: Sweet nothing Also do about 25 minutes of running per day and 10 minutes of stretching. I'm at the gym about 2.5 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I can't afford that time in the gym. Am usually there for 1-1.5 hours and 2 to 3 times/week. Although when am there, I work intensely with minimum break time between each set of exercise (1-2 min). Some people at the gym sit on an exercise machine for 30 minutes only to do 1 or 2 sets of 10 reps or they are talking/texting their friends.

gmen81 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Try and eat before and eat after for sure. Split up back and chest because if you do, say.. Lat pulldowns, v-bar barbell pull up and barbell rows, you're not going to have much left for bench presses, dumbbell flyes, etc. It's kind of like running a few miles then going to do heavy squats after -- doesn't make a whole lot of sense Taking weekends off, you could just do something like: chest and biceps on monday, back and triceps wednesday, legs and shoulders on Friday. Then just repeat after the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drybone Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Good topic . Thanks for posting. I get up every morning and take an energy drink and multi vitamin. I then do stretching and then 50 ab crunches. Then I do a two mile run. I do weight training 3 days a week . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefCon1 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ya; that's an insane amount of time. I'm there an hour and a half if I throw in 20 minutes of cardio at the end and even that feels like an eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
