Re: New Log (mattsxvx) Gets Ripped YUH
I rarely ever train triceps or biceps. I feel like it is a waste of a workout.

Re: New Log (mattsxvx) Gets Ripped YUH
I don't think triceps are a waste as they're an important secondary muscle group that come into play with pretty much all forms of pressing. Having said that I would struggle to give them their own workout, but I do spend time training them as part of my assistance/ancillary training.

Re: New Log (mattsxvx) Gets Ripped YUH
Back for round two!
7.5 mins of jump rope
Got frustrated with this today. Got a new jump rope and have not gotten used to the grips or how light it is.
35 mins of stairmaster (145 floors climbed)
Getting back on my cardio regimen.

Re: New Log (mattsxvx) Gets Ripped YUH
Well I did something last night at the gym because I am having so much pain in my right shoulder ai can barely raise my arm past shoulder height at the moment AND having serious pain in my right flank/abdomen just above pelvis crest. Really hoping this is not a hernia. Gonna stay off the weights for 2/3 days and see how it feels. Will have to get cardio in.
