xjohanx Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Cool dude. A log is a great idea if you want to improve training and get ideas and tips from others. You should write something in the intro section too.Protein is important but far overrated by many. If you post your stats (weight, height and age), your diet, your training and your goals we'll probably be able to figure out approx. how much protein you need. I'm new to Stockholm and don't really know where Rågsved is but I'm gonna look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjohanx Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 30/10 Back dayDeadlifts (awesome)Wide grip lat pulldowns (awesome)Cable rows (really nice, a girl came up to me and said that I looked good while doing them)V-grip lat pulldowns (Not very cool. There's something weird about the lat pulldown station in my gym, it's not tall enough)Machine rows (awesome) I'm starting to feel more at home in the gym. A lot of people say hello and the trainers say "See you tomorrow" everytime I leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 31/10 Abs and calvesI did an extra session because I neglected my ab training this week.Basically just a variation of crunches and situps. Also different calf presses.On the evening I hanged out with Stockholm vegan straight edge crew and their friends. We watched some horror movies, ate organic pizzas and some weird German pie for dessert that the exchange student made. Me and two friends ended up in front of the computer listening to rock ballads and singing kareoke. Good times. Later today I will train shoulders. I have to study a lot this week. I have an exam tomorrow and another one the week after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasha Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Looking good Johan I'm glad you had a great time at the gym How many Reps did you do in a set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks Tashie!My rep range is different every day and every excersise. Basically I just close my eyes, think of a weight and choose what I'm thinking of and do as many reps as I can. Sometimes I go heavy 4-6 reps and sometimes up to 16.

Tasha Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think that might be the best way to count or not to count them.. Do you feel more focus on contracting your muscles Rather then focusing on counting on how many reps you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Johan, that's how I train too! If I feel like doing high reps I do it, but sometimes I like to go heavy and do low reps. I figure by doing this you get exposed to various training methods. Besides it keeps things interesting, and you don't get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Do you feel more focus on contracting your muscles Rather then focusing on counting on how many reps you did? It's different from excersise to excersise. If I'm doing real compound movements like clean and presses, deadlifts, squats etc it's mostly about power and getting more reps out. But if I'm doing dumbbell presses, flies, lateral raises and those types of movements it's more about focusing on contact and contraction. Johan, that's how I train too! If I feel like doing high reps I do it, but sometimes I like to go heavy and do low reps. I figure by doing this you get exposed to various training methods. Besides it keeps things interesting, and you don't get bored. That is EXACTLY the way I feel about it too!! 7/11 Abs and calvesNot a very good session. I was in a hurry.About 20 sets of abs and maybe 10 calves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
