[QUOTE=-Lucifer;776371473]yet there are no new workouts posted? WTF is this sh*t? Tyciol, if you were really training, you would get excited after each session and want to talk about it. [B]Get off your keester and do some work.[/B][/QUOTE]You're right, haven't done anything closely grouped enough to call a session, I did seem to be making some improvements in my pull ups though, worked up to 5 a couple times.

Unfortunately I think I injured my right elbow somewhere. Probably a ligament or brachiradialis tendon. feel some tendonish pain in that area when I try to do pull ups now, so am going to do rowing movements for a bit until that feels better. Still haven't got around to joining a gym, this would be a great time to start since I could work up to a pull up via pull downs and see how much weight I can do before elbow pain. Plus I could exhaust lats doing the straight-arm version which wouldn't hurt the injured flexor...

Anywho will give that a shot, I'm not sure if I should be doing some high-rep curls at the end of this for the injured arm, or if I should avoid training it. This time I'm going to type out the exercises and weight I'll use ahead of time so I can just list the reps and not rest so much, I should copy this in the future instead of re-typing from scratch each time.

almost-prone wide overhand bar row to nipples (12.5 per side) 20 reps (15) 20r (17.5) 17r (tasting the omega3 pill, stopping) Think I'll make 15 starter next time.
front squats (pair of 25lb plates, no bar) 15 reps.

I might detach the 35lb plates from a short bar (was using for yates-style rows) for squats, could be more useful. I have pair of 35lb dbs I could use for basically same move. Eventually would like to buy a pair of rubber-coated olympic 45lb plates to use for front squats.

I notice when I have a loose grip on wide bar hands slide in. Gripping bar harder than necessary to hold creates more friction so hands don't slide as much. Some slide unavoidable but if pinky no longer touches plate, I consider wide-grip set ended. 10lb plates are low to ground, I think I round back when doing wide rows, thinking of elevating, will be easier when can use 25s for starting weight.

I clearly need to go do some running in the slow, too much panting and heart rate from so little work. At the tiny weights being used will probably drop more fat weight than put on muscle weight, which would be good for getting back onto pull ups once relbow feels better.

I'm just going to link to this thread in my sig from now on because I want remember it more often and clicking should do that for me. The ol' haters thread is here: [url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=135635131[/url]

Anyway, last night I did a bunch of laying triceps extensions basically like this [url]http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Triceps/DBLyingTriExt.html[/url] but doing it on my floor.

I tried some variety like pressing the dumbbells together and doing a 'skullcrusher' type thing and touching gently to my forehead, and also separating them so I could go down lower with the bells beside my ears.

My right elbow is still bothering me so I was having trouble getting them into position when I moved up to 'heavy' (15lbs lol) dumbbells, so basically I used my left hand to get my right up (it's mostly getting it off the ground that's hard due to leverage and being stretched) and then the left could easily lift it's own weight alone since it wasn't injured.

Feeling DOMS in triceps today so I felt like I did something. Did relatively high reps, like 20-30, because the jumps are so huge with light weights, I wanted to build a big buffer before jumping. Eventually once I get to the bigger ones will lower the reps a bit I guess.

I'm trying to think of a way to combine these with push ups since it's a compound tricep movement and I guess some chest work couldn't hurt. I don't have any safe way to elevate a weight so I can't bench press anything decent right now, though I could do overhead pressing I guess, and maybe switch to incline by leaning backward against nearby wall as I get tired.

I also have the super-EZ curl bar for doing tricep work with, once I figure the thing out I hope to use it more often. It's just a bit tricky since it feels like it's trying to roll out of your hands.

Also elbow was feeling good enough before hand that I was able to do some limited pull ups in the top portion (just using bar, ignored rotating handles). I tried this thing instead of touching the top of my head to the ceiling, that I lean back and touch my forehead, then my nose. I tried toching my chin to the ceiling but I really had to crane my neck to do it, so it's not comfortable.

But I could touch my lips so I kissed the ceiling. Perhaps I should try to become sexually attracted to it and have long make-out sessions to build bicep/back endurance? I did not try to french it yet because I remembered there had been cobwebs before and I did not want spider eggs in my brain.

I tried lowering down to do a rep, but when I tried to pull back up from the bottom I got this twinge in right elbow again so quickly let go. I should probably try not going down all the way before going back up. I mostly just need a reliable way to gauge distance. I think maybe what I will do is lower my head under the bar and pull my head up into the bar, and then look up and kiss the ceiling and just alternate before that, basically doing the top half.

lol i love the fact that i am the first post in that thread!

By the way, I doubt a lot of people will read that wall of text. Most people, like myself, prefer everything organized neatly because we're subbed to tonnes of other journals too.

There's something wrong with you.

Just hang this picture on your ceiling, you should have no problems kissing it:

Or if she doesn't work, try this:

Also, join a gym and start going regularly and doing a regular program. I recommend SS.

Why wouldn't she work? I reckon even a gay man would be aroused by that pic.

Short entry today related to pulling: waiting for 2nd smackdown to start, trying out pull ups. Was able to pull head to ceiling without significant pain in right elbow. It was sort of ginger though, not as bad as previous attempts but I feel like the pain is waiting to come back so I don't want to push it. Will try again tomorrow, I would like to do progressively more pull ups by training every single day anyway.

Am thinking after doing a set amount will do rows to hit back/bicep for high rep pump. My heavier solid is 40, have built a 45 and a 50 out of plates.

Also I found a tiny bench which you can put stuff in, I think it may be for a piano. Am thinking of using it for chest-supported rows and flies to avoid cheating. Can't fully straighten arms at bottom but at least it's more RoM than putting chest on floor and doing pulses.

Been thinking of getting something like this:
[img]http://i2-store.walmart.ca/images/WMTCNPE/924/368/924368_Large_2.jpeg[/img]

Or possibly building it since it costs ~$100 in Canada which is kinda ridiculous. You can do something like this with the perfect pull up but I have a problem with it swinging through and hitting the frame which is noisy and scuffs. This is something that wouldn't happen with the dip bar since it has a padded rest against the door like those lever pullup bars do. I'll get that if I move, just don't want to redrill holes in the frame.

Hi guithe, my name is Tyciol and I'm fat and weak. I hang around in exercise forums telling everyone else how to train, but I can't even squat my own bodyweight.

In fact I'm a fat lethargic porn-addicted piece of shiit and my sexual orientation is dubious at best. Please help me get in shape so I can fulfill my dream of entering the gay porn industry.

Merry Christmas

[QUOTE=IDrinkBloodLOL;798610431]telling everyone else how to train, but I can't even squat my own bodyweight.[/quote]Not sure about this part, have I actually come out and TOLD someone how to train? I throw out ideas based on what I've read. Doing so is as much a means of reminding myself to train too eh? =) Speaking of which...

Just did 4 sup-ups head to head. Guess I managed to rehab that elbow injury okay. My heart is pounding in my skull! Feels good!

Not sure what to do next, like if I should just rest and do more sup-up sets or if I should be doing rows or bent-over laterals right after as some kind of drop set. Or maybe push-ups. I think I've been avoiding those, which is stupid for someone who wants triceps.

Start a program! What are your goals? You should pick a program that has a routine that fits your schedule, and a progression that meets your goals. Then stick to it. That's why you have this log. Dropping in once a month to talk about some random workout that you decided to do for the day makes for a terrible journal.

I guess so, TBH I'm not familiar with a lot of programs. The only one I know by popularity is Starting Strength but I lack a cage/rack or a decent barbell for deads/squats. Pair of 45s and trap bar would be ideal.

Okay either my account's been hacked or a moderator with access to editing my signature has it out for me... *removes*

K I might as well do a workout... Just did a couple pullups and my head is killing me. It pisses me off when this migraine **** is what makes me quit instead of muscular fatigue. Same began to happen after 5 girl pushups and 7squats with pair of 25s... no idea what's with me this weekend, been sleeping in way too late.

I think I'm going to take a cold shower and take another stab at this when I can get the skull-pounding to stop.

A couple random exercises once every 6 weeks is a complete waste of your time. Either do something consistently, or throw in the towel and find a new hobby.

I exercise more than I update Peter, I'm doing chins every single day, usually several times. It's just sporadic and not organized into sessions big enough to seem worth while. I'm hoping to suddenly be doing a huge amount and post a progression worth posting.

That said, even if someone was only exercising once every 6 weeks (I've never gone that long) I still think it's a worthwhile thing to give starting something a try. Exercise should be everyone's hobby forever. Being mediocre at it doesn't mean you should give it up. It's for everyone, including people who aren't particularly enthusiastic or healthy.

When I remember about this place, I usually try a little harder, for guys like you. After some Smackdown and yogurt I'm feeling peppy so I'll do it before watching my baseball anime and going to sleep.

I'll do some chins with the back of my heels in front of my on a chair so I can get many reps. It's a rolling chair so my legs become more vertical as I go up. I arch my chin up like crazy to touch the bar, but my handles are 7.5 inches below it so I don't think RoM is sacrificed.

So about 10 of those and I got mad because chair kept going sideways into the door for some reason (unbalanced?). Tried an Ottoman but I get too much assistance that way so felt like I could do them forever.

Did squats to fatigue the legs, figure if they're tired I'll rely on them less to help arms.

50lb front squat 20 reps, 25lbs x 25r, 15lbs x30r and I'm too tired and breathing to even want to bother with BW. Time for bar again.

I do 10 and urge to vomit rising, am remembering how tiring working the legs can be, this should probably be my focus for fat loss I think.

Anything new on the lifting front friend?

why would someone who doesnt work out start a work out journal.

Someone asked me to, and I've been working out today actually... just it's sporadic (oh hey it's acommercial, I'm going to do some lunges and chins, etc) and sometimes I don't want to turn on the computer or minimize my anime to do it. I mean, if you give a general idea of where you're at fitness-wise now and then (even if monthly) it's still valid enough, no need for all logs to be daily y'know.

So even though I'm kind of tired already (screw the earlier stuff), I'll put some gusto into my chins and tell you where I'm at... and this is without the spinny bars, I find I can focus better when it's just the straight bar.

Overhand wide: 3 reps
pushups : 10 reps
40lb goblets: 20 reps
Underhand wide: 3
handles pushups: 8 reps
Underhand narrow: 2 reps
knee push: 10 reps
1 arm DB row 50lbs: 10/10
35lbs 15/15

This is with a gut full of turkey which I wanted to prevent chucking, and now my throat is dry and I want some water and my heart's pounding, all for you tomsfish.

Link yours in your sig too, I want to read it for muspiration.

Edit: am thinking the excessive panting and tinly numb 'my limb is asleep' feeling I got in my fingertips and even nose for a couple minutes means my cardio probably sucks. Guess I'm one of those fat 'weights are my cardio' guys. Should probably scout out a park I could run at without bothering anyone, or just more squats, maybe wearing a belt so that I don't keep rounding my back as I get disoriented.

Oh and: I found a cheap source of concrete blocks so I'm going to buy them to use as a chest-bench for doing rows/flyes on, and build a pair of columns for dip-balancing.

your not going to wait another 6 weeks before someone else gets on your case.lets go,get a workout in.
