  1. Thanks for the tip Mike, Ok, I'll try the pec deck first next time, thats not a bad idea. You guessed right about the smith, I don't have a spotter and I go to failure on bench so the smith works good for that. When i fail I can shimmy out from under the bar. lol! On another note, the compound movements yesterday worked great. I'm so sore today I can barley walk to the fridge. hahaha
  2. 12/2/2012-sunday After reading an article by Robert I think my problem is too much isolation excersizes and not enuff heavy compoud work. So I'm starting new... throwing out concentration curls and going back to a basic mass building full body compound momement routine. hight - 5'7 same as yesterday. hey now! weight - 133lbs health - (1-10) 9 today, feel pretty good (sore shoulder is doing better after rest and deep tissue) 10AM - workout (Fasted state, no food) Squats - smith machine 20xbar(35lbs) 10x85 (25s) 5x105(35s) 3x125(45s) struggle but made the last rep 3x125(45s) struggle but made the last rep Bent over rows 20xbar(45lbs) 10x85lbs(25s) 6x115lbs(35s) 4x135(45s) 12x85(25s) rep out Flat bench smith press (chest - my weakest bodypart) 20x35lbs(bar) - trying to find correct position and range to isolate chest. I tend to feel all benching in my front delts/tris. 10x55lbs 8x65lbs 6x75lbs 2x85lbs - fail 2x85lbs - fail (I have never felt so freakin weak and a puss in all my life. embarrasing.) 12x65 rep out shrugs 12x135lbs 12x135lbs 12x135lbs 12x135lbs deadlifts skipped these as I was feeling queezy after squats pully rope pulldown crunches 20x60lbs 15x70 15x70 15x70 core twists holding plate 40x25lbs 40x25lbs 40x25lbs 40x25lbs no cardio today. after legs I felt queezy. Next day I have soreness everywhere except chest. damn it! I can not for the life of me find a way to isolate my chest from my shoulders in pressing movments. Its all front delts and tris when I bench. Am I doomed to a life of pec deck and flys to feel ANYTHING in my pecs? #$%&*&^$#$^!!!!

  4. Thanks for the welcome everyone, good to be here. You mean brother Chuck in Nor-Cal?! I wish... Then I could get into UFCs for free. I'm a HUGE UFC fan and use to throw UFC PPV parties all the time. Good point about eating before my workout. Maybe oatmeal an hour before I hit the gym might help. I'll give it a shot and I'll get on starting a workout/food journal too. Great advice. Eric
  5. Howdy all, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Eric, 44 year old health crucader in So-Cal. Went Vegan after seeing the movies Forks over Knifes, Food inc, idiot cycle and all the rest of them. Had a bad health scare in 2009 from colitas and digestive issues that I link to GMOs and built up toxins from a lifelong SAD diet. It was crippling not to be able to eat anything without stomach pain and nausia. My diet was full of meats, dairy, sugars and processed food... YuCk! Started to eat clean after the hospitol but still had health problems. I turned Vegitarian in 2011 and health got better. Then finally Vegan now for 8 months... Health and stomache issues are almost all gone and I feel great! Will never go back to flesh, dairy, toxins and GMOs ever again. Dropped 40lbs of blubber fast after going Vegan and went from 170lbs- 36 inch waist to 128lbs- 29 inch waste. But now I'm skinny with saggy abdominal skin and zero muscle. I was big into weights in my 20s and followed all the Weider mag routines and diets. I could bench 225 and squat 335 back then... Now at 44 I'm trying to gain back some muscle and strength like I had in my youth but its all gone. I can't hardly bench 105 now and squat 135. arms are 11 inches. ouch! How can I be so incredibly weak? 3 push ups and thats it!? Being a small boned ectomorph body type, putting muscle on is almost imposible now. I work out like I'm training for the Mr. Olympia but have seen almost Zero gains after months of killing it at the gym. So I'm fustrated to no end. I workout 5 times a week and split my bodyparts like this... Day 1- chest / abs /30 min cardio Day 2 - back / abs / 30 min cardio Day 3 - shoulders / abs/ 30 min cardio Day 4 - Arms (Bi & Tri) /abs / 30 min cardio Day 5 - Legs /abs/ 30 min cardio Day 6 - rest Day 7 rest Meals - Workout ----------------------- workout (9AM) fasted state, no food. Breakfast - Sun Warrior shake with blue berries, banana (after workout) Lunch - noon - black beans in a bowl, huge salad (1,000 calories) dinner - burrito with brown rice, beans, veggies - 1,0000 cals - 5pm I tend to hold fat in my low back, stomach and thighs and when I increase cals, thats where it starts to store again. makes me look skinny-fat... tiny ripped arms and a big fat pear ass and gut. gross! So I'm here to try to put on muscile and keep my healthy Vegan lifesytle alive and well.
