I find it hard to believe some of the people in this thread have never had a training partner before. It really does make me wonder if some of you even do lift or not? [/quote]
ya man, i lift. why else would i spend my valuable time on a weightlifting website?
i’ve had plenty of guys tag along and train with me, usually only lasts half a session. there’s been an elite few who lasted a week, but in the end they all tell me i’m nuts, then go back to squat rack curls and leg extension or wash out.
So it’s settled then, you guys are trolling. Nobody can be serious about lifting like that.
Did you look at the dude in the blue shirt behind you, he was like “what the FUCK is that guy doing”. Seriously, worst. lift. ever.
Have you ever lifted at a commercial gym?
Anything beyond primping and preening between sets of tricep extensions gets a “what the fuck” look.
Do you have anything like pics or vids to back up your mouth?

What the fuck does that have to do with anything? And yes, of course people will give you looks all the time. I’ve gotten a ton. All I’m saying is that i think that lift looked like shit. That’s it.

What does that have to do with anything? Are you fucking serious?
You’re calling troll on a couple of guys that have the balls to post a log of their progress.
If you are doing better or have something to give besides smartshit comments it would be something, but you have a keyboard and an internet connection, and you think that gives you licence to rip on people trying to make some progress.
You are a cunt. You should shut you cunt mouth until you have something worth saying.

Well I guess we were lucky enough not to find a 170 pound expert that would be too intense for us.
And obviously that is not either of us in the video, just look at our pictures. Obviously I am way too fat to be that guy, and you can see mr popular’s face in his pictures. I just posted it because I enjoyed it.
And thank you to austin_bicep for posting something useful.

I don’t know if its just how you guys are writting out your routine but you should really be doing work sets of at least 3 - 5 with a chosen weight. I understand you said that these did not include all the warm up sets you did before the work set but if you look at any workout designed on this site and pretty much any other, you only warm up before you start working out. There is no need to do warm ups for every exercies you chose to do.
After your first exercise if you are doing sets and increasing the loads moving towards a max set, even if you start light those sets aren’t warmups and you should write them into the log so that you can see total volume.
Your body is warm after any general excerise you use to warm up, you don’t warm up every exercise. If people did this they would be in the gym forever. The vast majority of your time in the gym should be spent either doind a working set and resting in between those sets.
That being said, when your a beginner anything you do will make you stronger.
Try re-arranging the priority of the exercise that you want to increase on. Make it the first exercise of the first session of the week. That will give it your best effort before fatigue starts to accumulate throughout the week, and the most time to recover before being done again.
If you can’t change the day it is done, at least change the order that it is done in.

A warm-up set ranges from the lightest weight possible to very close to our working weight. I don’t really see the need to write that down, because I don’t aim to increase it at any point, I simply use a weight lighter than my working weight.
I find that using progressively heavier weights helps me to prepare for my working set. As far as multiple sets…I suppose we could, but I feel that doing one MAIN set and measuring progress by that is the most effective method for progress for us.

The problem is, it is the first exercise on arms and shoulders day. But we almost always do a chest/back day immediately before arms/shoulders day. Perhaps we could put a day of rest between the two, or even switch the order.
Switch the order of days then. The reason for an order of priority is to avoid the overall effect of fatigue on the parts you want to improve. Even though one different body part is recovering, it is using your entire bodies resources to do so.
