I felt I could have done more, but hey I gotta start somewhere, its kind of depressing looking at how low the numbers are, but oh well, thats why im here, to make them go up ;P.

With that said, it went pretty well.

Don't be too concerned with your numbers, and how much you can actully lift, just be concerned with proper form and doing everything properly.

If you try and lift too heavy and your form is [*%#*%*#], its not going to do you 1/5th the good.

This weeks workouts went alright, found the rest of my starting weights worked on form, bought some protein powder, stocked up on oatmeal.

I changed from a 3 day split to a 5 day, I have to much going on and am half dead 1/2 way through my workout and feel I will get a better workout per bodypart if I split it up a bit more.

Anyway, come this monday, its on.

I can always change it back

You need to add some exercises for back day. It's a big muscle group, and I don't think 7 sets is gonna cut the mustard if you are trying to bulk.

Suggestions:

Close or Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns
BB or DB Rows
T-Bar Rows
Seated Cable Rows

And go heavy!

Headshot · #10 09-09-2003, 09:23 PM

ya, I was thinking that after I got done actually.

Was thinking bent over Dumbell rows

Also, ya my deadlifts are low =P I dont want to injure my back , ive had lower back pains ever since I got kicked in the back hard coming down from a header in soccer

I figure ill just start off a bit low on all my weights, better to be safe then sorry.
