willpeavy Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 do you have any idea how i can do dips and pullups without special equipment? otherwise i would buy myself a used device or something like that. I got a pullup bar that installs in a doorway at a local sporting goods store for about $15 US. If you have a playground nearby with monkey bars, you might be able to do dips at the end of the bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Do you ever eat anything else than Döner and malt beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 well, there are no small flatbreads or pieces of it available so i have to eat them within 2 days and that results in eating döners all day today i'll have something else )vegan sausages and spaghetti with salad) but i'll buy another flatbread for school tomorrow malt beer has lots of calories and tastes yummy!

I don't know how to improve, but keep trying. I could do only 1 pull up some weeks ago. Now I can do 50 within one session, but only max. 5 reps in a row.

Now I can do 50 within one session, but only max. 5 reps in a row.Nobbi, that's a contradiction in itself! Some weeks ago only one, and now several sets of 5! Good job Lelle, start with trying chin ups (palms towards your face), that's a bit easier. Just keep trying. In the beginning, you can place a chair behind you and help yourself up with your feet, then do a negative rep (= try to lower yourself as slowly as possible).

michaelhobson Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 i kinda missed exercising the last days It happens sometimes, don't let it get you down. In the end your results will come from what you do most of the time, not the occassional lapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobbi Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 What is embarrassing about a body in progress? Just keep going on and don't loose your motivation. Is your nutrition getting better? Don't forget to eat (healthy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 thanks nobbi! my nutrition, well....it is a little bit better now, but stillt not enough calories and protein. have to concentrate more on my eating-exercises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobbi Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 thanks nobbi! my nutrition, well....it is a little bit better now, but stillt not enough calories and protein. have to concentrate more on my eating-exercises Don't forget to concentrate also on your training. EAT IRON! I was focusing on my nutrition for a while too intensive, but lost my motivation for training and gained too much fat. Now, I am back to my old eating habits, which works best for me and I will increase the intensity of my workout sessions again. I will send you some 'embarrissing' pics of myself. You are not the only one with body 'problems'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
