Even though you're just starting out, you should split up your training somehow. You should also be going for more than 1-3 reps per set...

edited mate i had the sets and reps wrong way round, i didnt realize it was alot, maybe because i bought in bulk, like 5kg whey, 5kg malto, 5kg dex, then the other packets are stuff a friend of mine gave me to try like the unflavoured whey protein isolate, some milk protein isolate and some finely ground oats.

There isn't a right and wrong for sets/reps, I was just trying to let rootbeer know what you did.

Just wanted to add, on squats i don't feel that iv'e got the bar in the right posistion across my back, is there any tips on getting it into the correct posistion?

rootb33r · #19 11-16-2009, 06:48 PM

It should go across your traps...

P.S. you should throw a few pics on here for comparison purposes. I like to go back in my journal and look at my old pics and my old diet/workouts. It's good learning/comparison.

squeeze your shoulder blades together and push your chest out, ive found having my hands a close in as possible also helps tighten your back musclature. once your back develops it wont hurt as much as the muscle will act almost like padding.
Im going to be uploading a few vids of mine soon just to check form etc. It's worth doing so you can correct any bad habits now rather than months down the line.
