Saulo Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Freak Out! Today I did a gnarly fun circuit with some boxing in between each run-through.Pullups until failure immediately down on the floor for some dips until failure and on my back for crunches. I stretched for about 30 seconds and shadow boxed for a few minutes. Then repeated this twice but on the third time I did my crunches with my legs at a 90 degree angle.

Jason X Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hey Saulo, first of all i wanted to say that I really dig the name of the journal. It's awesome. Second, not down on it, but where did you get your routine? That's certainly in intense routine, but it's not a get big routine. With what you're doing you're going to be strong and have a lot of muscular endurance, but I think you'd be better served (and get bigger and stronger) if you did more compound lifts and less isolation with more weight and less reps. I understand the desire to not get hurt. That's big. But maybe just try a program like stronglifts or starting strength for a few weeks and see how you feel doing it. Also, how many calories (approx) a day are you eating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulo Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 I joined a gym this week I worked out my abs and did bodyweight squats and lunges. I anticipate some good feeling in my legs tomorrow EDIT: I don't know how many calories I take every day but my guess is around 2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medman Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I just read the thread on being skinny and I am gonna start to add compound exercises when doing chest and arms along with working out til I can't no more I'm glad you're taking that advice! I tried suggesting that once to you before, because I can tell you work hard and wanted to see you gain the most benefit from your work that you put in! I really recommend the stronglifts 5x5 as a starting point. My gym buddy and I have never had such success in the gym before...it's gotten to the point that I'm just about addicted to going to the gym, and I NEVER felt like that before this program! Mostly because I always got nowhere, which was not very motivating.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medman Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 so heavier and less reps? If the goal is strength, yes. I like the 5x5 (low reps, more sets, high weight) because it gives you huge strength gains, and if you eat enough, it still gives you big mass gains as well. You're a naturally skinny guy like me, and this program had far more success for me than 3x8, so I think it could work for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
