Bigbwii Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I've been having a real bad time recently with my work outs! I've been doing them but my motivation has really been bad! well today I worked out with wieghts for the first time in 2 weeks and I figured out the problem! I need to train with heavy wieghts! the body wieght stuff was good but I was just maintaining infact I swear I was getting smaller! OMG!!!! does this mean I'm a meathead???? Does this mean I'm doomed to start posting on T-nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Yeah, like I said if you can knock out 35 reps in a set or 15 for multiple sets you probably aren't building any strength by doing it. So you could do 100 pushups straight. I bet you could do more than 35 dips in a set. Probably could still get something out of chins. t-nation.com is loaded with 17 year olds. And in general unhappy people who feel better when they put others down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG!!!! does this mean I'm a meathead???? Haaha! I'm probably going to go back to training with weights again soon too. I like training bodyweight stuff at home, but my wife wants me to get rid of the dip rack and pullup bar because it messes up her interior decorating. So I said fine I'll join a gym instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a fruit head, not a meat head. And I am probably a tofu head. Glad to hear you are thinking of pounding some heavy weights. That will surely get the job done! -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbwii Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 I really need to attack my workouts again because I've lost a lot of confidence with lifting heavy because I feel so light! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If you wanna make your pushups more challenging until you get access to a gym - buy an innertube for a bicycle tire (about $3) and put it across your back and under your palms while doing pushups. You'll get a lot of extra resistance that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
