ok benji thanks, but wot exercises are best to do for building up the traps really well?

Benj · 01-06-2004, 01:56 PM

Shrugs! To be honest thats the only exercise i can think of that hits them directly

When doing shrugs do them with the bar behind you, this makes your muscle fibres work even harder.

U are definately overtraining
Man don t do 18 stes for any body part.U need a maximum of three hardcore sets for a type of exercise.For biceps i don t recommend more than 10-12 total sets(3 exercises), triceps the same
And other body parts a maximum of 4 execises of 4sets
Sleep enough also

Try more likely

monday: CHEST,BACK

wendnesday:BICEPS+TRICEPS

friday: SHOULDERS+LEGS

u can t train your back and chest hard enough because u just trained your arms on monday so this is better.

You train your chest and your back on the same day???

Thats just evil! I know I couldn't do it

mutley · 08-06-2004, 02:52 PM

I find chest and back on the same day OK too.

As long as I isolate the back or chest (depending on what I do first) so as not too burn the triceps out, it's OK

Vlad Dracul · 08-06-2004, 10:02 PM

Sincerly i can t do Back and Chest the same day.I train really hard each body part one time each five days and after i do my back i can t move anymore.Especially in this period i feel like i can vomit after back training.I like to get everything out of it so i m hardcore when it comes to the back.Plus u can t really overtrain the back because of the biceps

In fact the body parts that overtrain easly are the biceps,triceps and shoulders...

i felt like spewing today after squats :shock:

too ****ing hot

it there no way tissue u can do a 4 day week?

why are you limited to just a 3 day week.?

i do 1 bodypart per day 30mins-40mins

can give maximum intesnsity this way

I struggle to do 5 days a week, one muscle group per session. I find I can train harder doing 2 muscle groups per session, with a clear day off in between.

I normally do low level cardio for 30-40 mins on an off day. I burnout otherwise. Need the rest, maybe 'cos I'm older
