Quote from: Meho on June 08, 2008, 03:47:30 AMWorking out is so simple but people are too naive and careless to get some results in the end. To tell it quickly there's 3 things you need to take care of:a) When working out, do the excersises correctly. When you're in a gym like 90% of the people around you do it wrong. As men, we have big egos, so we put mad weights on to look cool but that shit is just hurting you and you're never gonna develop like you oughta. Just check bench press for example, so many people put too much weight and as a result, when doing bench, their shoulders and triceps are doing most of the work and not chests like it's suppose to.b) Change your workout routine every month and within that month change the order of excersises you are doing every week. Because if you don't do that, you'r muscles get used to it and you don't develop.c) And most importantly: proper food! Especially when you wanna get cut you have to be on a strict diet for couple of weeks, whichs means lots of proteins like 2/3grams per pound of bodywieght (so that you don't lose your muscle mass, while being on a diet) (meat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, protein shakes), very little carbs like 1g per pound your body weight (and you eat them only in the morning and before and after the workout) (rice, vegetables) and healthy fat (nuts and shit like that, olive oil, fish oil). If your trying to gains muscle mass then you can lower your proteins for a little bit and add more carbs. The goal is to have 6,7 meals in a day, every 2,3 hours. And drink lots of water!But working out is a learning process, you learn new things every day.yeah u know whats up...however your example of the bench press, I don't know how u can use ur shoulders and tri's more than chest.BTW who is that girl?

Sure. Right now I'm doing only about 60kg/130lbs but I take 3 seconds to put the weight down, hold it for 3 seconds in that maximum muscle contraction and then lift it up for 3 seconds. That's very little wieght but that shit hurts like a motherfucker but it's that good pain.
What I mean by that is some people put mad weight on and the actual push is being made by shoulder, triceps and of course some chests. But if you put normal weight, you can really isolate the muscle and you can easilly tell the difference. I used to do the same but now I do it like it's suppose to and the diffence is huge.
Yeah I never had a personal trainer or anything, I learned everything by myself, which takes longer but it's probably more exciting that way, than to know everything from the scratch. I am still learning a lot and like somebody else said, going to the gym is one of the best feelings in the world, I'm gonna do it as long as my body can take it.
