  1. Since I'm really new to this I've been putting my trust in the trainers that reside in my gym, they told me to do all that so that's what I did... They didn't tell me to come four times a week though, that's just something that I wanted to do on my own. However, I've been thinking about breaking up my workout into different parts so I'll definitely mention it the next time I have a one-on-one with them. I don't really understand this part? So keeping lactic acid in your muscles will help them grow? But how do I keep it there then? I really appreciate your feedback! Since I lack experience and knowledge about the subject, I embrace all sorts of feedback. Here is yesterday's workout: 24 September 2014 Stationairy bike 12 minutes at 60 - 80 rpm, level 4 (max. level = 25) Pectoral Sel - Arm Adduction Set 1 - 8 reps (25 kg) Set 2 - 8 reps (25 kg) Set 3 - 8 reps (25 kg) Set 4 - 8 reps (30 kg) Chest Press Set 1 - 8 reps (30 kg) Set 2 - 8 reps (30 kg) Set 3 - 8 reps (35 kg) Set 4 - 8 reps (35 kg) Vertical Traction Sel 4x 8 reps (45 kg) Row Pure Set 1 - 8 reps (30 kg) Set 2 - 8 reps (30 kg) Set 3 - 8 reps (30 kg) Set 4 - 8 reps (35 kg) Cross over Cable Elt+ Set 1 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 2 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 3 - 8 reps (12,5 kg) Set 4 - 8 reps (12,5 kg) Cable Jungle - Arm curl Set 1 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 2 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 3 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 4 - 8 reps (12.5 kg) Triceps Pushdown Set 1 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 2 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 3 - 8 reps (10 kg) Set 4 - 8 reps (15 kg) Leg extension Elt+ Set 1 - 10 reps (30 kg) Set 2 - 10 reps (30 kg) Set 3 - 10 reps (30 kg) Set 4 - 10 reps (30 kg) Seated leg curl Set 1 - 10 reps (30 kg) Set 2 - 10 reps (30 kg) Set 3 - 10 reps (30 kg) Set 4 - 10 reps (30 kg) Leg Press Set 1 - 10 reps (55 kg) Set 2 - 10 reps (55 kg) Set 3 - 10 reps (55 kg) Set 4 - 10 reps (60 kg) Total abdominal Sel (Crunch) 3x 15 reps (35 kg) Rotary Torso 3x 12 reps (15kg)
  2. It's been a while since I've introduced myself on this forum, even though I wasn't yet going to the gym. But 05 September 2014 I kicked my ass to the gym and got myself a subscription and I've been going ever since. I go 4 times a week for about 90 minutes: monday, wednesday, friday and sunday. The first 4 times I had a non-personalised program that existed out: Stationairy bike: 12 minutes at 60 - 80 rpm Running: 10 minutes at 4,5 km/h (6%) Chest Press Sel: 3 sets - 15 reps (20 kg) Vertical Traction Sel: 3 sets - 15 reps (30 kg) Leg extension Elt+: 3 sets - 15 reps (10 kg) Total abdominal Sel (Crunch): 3 sets - 15 reps (20 kg) Recline: 10 minutes at 60 - 80 rpm So nothing special. On 14 September I did some tests to get some basic information about my body, and these were the results: Height: 1m87 Weight: 64,3 kg % Fat: 11,8 BMI: 18.4 With this and a bit more in depth information about what my goals etc were, I started with a more personalised workout program on 17 September. After 12 workouts I'll have another meetup and we'll see how much progress I've made. My current workout (and the goal weight I have to be able to do after 12 times): Stationairy bike: 12 minutes at 60 - 80 rpm, level 4 (max. level = 25) Pectoral Sel - Arm Adduction: 4x 8 reps (25 kg) Chest Press: 4x 8 reps (35 kg) Vertical Traction Sel: 4x 8 reps (40 kg) Row Pure: 4x 8 reps (40 kg) Cross over Cable Elt+: 4x 8 reps (10 kg) Cable Jungle - Arm curl: 4x 8 reps (15 kg) Triceps Pushdown: 4x 8 reps (15 kg) Leg extension Elt+: 4x 10 reps (30 kg) Seated leg curl: 4x 10 reps (30 kg) Leg Press: 4x 10 reps (70 kg) Total abdominal Sel (Crunch): 3x 15 reps (30 kg) Rotary Torso: 3x 12 reps (both sides) (15 kg) I'm a bit lost with all the correct names, these are just the names of the machines that are in the gym, so I don't know if you guys now what I'm talking about... I've noticed a few problems so far: 1. There is no restday in between Sunday and Monday... So what do I do on Monday? Do I use light weights? If I'm not sure can I just exercise as hard as I can...? 2. A lot of times I'm not feeling really sore, but I am feeling something. Is it okay to push your limits, or is it bad for your muscles/body when I do it with that 'feeling'? My more detailed training log from the previous days is written on my blog. If you guys are interested: http://ectomorphingtime.tumblr.com/tagged/exlog. I'll be adding my new detailed logs to this page, but I don't think it's okay if I start spamming a few days worth of logs...
  3. I've already gotten my hands on 'Thrive' by Brendan Brazier, now I still have to find a copy of Robert Cheeke's book (I did read his article on veganbodybuilding.com though! But the more the merrier.) Thanks for the tip! I've also made an appointment at my local gym for an introduction session, so i'll see how it goes from there on.
  4. Hi everyone, I'm Liquidstateofbeing, or as people call me off the internet: Do (same pronunciation as 'doe'). I'm a 22 years old male from Belgium, who is currently still studying (Environmental Management). I try to live as conscious as possible, without giving up too much of this modern lifestyle. But luckily, it's hardly ever the case of giving something up, it's just about making an effort. My username stands for my view on life. We're not static. We can change whenever we want, and how we want (but again we just have to make an effort). I have no real experience with bodybuilding, but I've had to urge to do something about my stocky physique and bad posture for quite some time now. And it's time to act! To be honest, I'm not vegan but I've been a strict vegetarian for the past four years now. I came to this veganbodybuilding discussion board because I think this is the most knowledgeable place for information about bodybuilding without meaty-products. And I think it's a good change to get a taste of the vegan lifestyle. What has been keeping me from joining other boards and going to the gym so far is that I'm intimidated. I'm just another stocky (vegetarian) guy who wants to get bigger, I can imagine that they've seen plenty of those. My other problem is that I have a lot of trouble with figuring stuff out all by myself. When I get a set of clear rules that I can follow, there is no problem. But when I need to extract all different kinds of information from different sources I don't seem to be able to do it. So finding perfect exercises, meal plans and so on is really troublesome for me. (This doesn't mean I don't want to make the effort for finding stuff, but I'll definitely need some guidance on that...) Well, this is it for now. If y'all have any more questions about me, I'll be happy to answer them!
