Thanks for dropping by...


Yes...I'll try to stick to the current plan and record the results on my training card. Adding another set or exercise if I notice that some muscles hinder my progress and need special attention.




No...I mostly eat about 5-6 times a day but here I just noted the meals around the training (including the total of the day) as I consider them the most important meals in combination with the training itself. But if the other meals are of interest I can include them as well.

so you still want to increase your strength? did you even the links i posted in here? i mean, i don't want to sound too offensive but if you'll go on like this i don't see any chance for you to reach your goals.

Yes, I've read your links and even bookmarked them for future reference. But I see no way at the moment how I can add those exercises to my training plan as my work and other activities use up a lot of the available time.

And so far I've been at this training for only about 3-4 months and I still see progress. Yes...there have been some setbacks but mostly because I was using the wrong form and so used other muscles instead of the intended ones. This lead to an increase in weight for some exercises which was not justified or backed by the intended muscles. So...with the correction of the form the weight of some exercises naturally dropped a bit.

Another thing is that limitations in exercises do not only come from the intended muscles but also from other parts of the body that are not as developed. I had that with BWEs like push-ups as well. That's the reason I added other exercises to compensate for that.

Here is the progress from my training so far (pounds x reps) (gain) muscles:
