To me, it seems to focus too much on volume. Is that correct?

thanks for the useful responses. how could I forget those rubber mats! they really are an outcome for people with vulnerable floors (or weights for that matter haha). I won't have to use them now,...

I workout at home, and I do it in my bedroom.

The reason I'm asking this, is because I can see myself moving out in the foreseaable future, which will also change my 'gym environment'. My bedroom...

Perhaps I should just try it out for a couple of weeks and indeed tweak stuff inbetween. So far, googling haos and pain hasn't really helped me though.

Does that mean that he just does some exercises in the gym every time, without an exercise-for-exercise workout plan, but sticking to a general goal?

Has anyone of you ever tried this?

well I'm 6 feet 1 and weight about 165 lbs.

since I'm in a manual wheelchair for long distances my abs also don't get that natural work from stabilizing your body while walking. so yes, I do need...

Besides my normal workout routine, I do one day of abs, which consists of leg raises, weighted crunches, knee-ins and weighted side bends.

I see some result, but not nearly enough. So I'm...

I see it now, makes sense to me!

Swimming with weights.........well that would be more like drowning :P

Does swimming induce hypertrophy, or is it just cardio? I can imagine it being cardio because of the repetitive movements, but water is some kind of resistance too.

I like the idea of shadow boxing and I sometimes do it, when nobody sees me of course. But are there any benefits to any muscles by doing this?

There is no real resistance you have to deal with....

Due to my condition, I can walk, but for longer distances I use a manual wheelchair.

Now I know that my abs are one of my weak points, even though I target them specifically one day a week. With...

This is a troublesome area. I work out at home and only have dumbbells and a bench. My gut feeling tells me I'm not nearly targeting my back / lats enough as of now, I'm doing 2 exercises, namely the...

Well I'm currently looking at a pull up bar which can be 'extended' until it reaches both sides, to get the stability.

I"m looking at this: ...

I also do those,but perhaps not heavy enough.



I thought exercises build muscle, not eating? I know you have to eat to get some mass, but when I'm skinny I should see abs, and not gain them...

So right now I do abs once a week, with the following routine:

-Leg raise
-Weighted crunch
-Knee-in
-Mountain Climber
-Weighted Side Bend

I do each exercise in 3 sets.

I was browsing some websites just for the heck of it, and I came across several pull up bars, which apparently can be used at home to put in the doorframe.

Now they also seem to be really...

I notice with bicep curls and hammer curls that a lot of stress comes on the wrists. Now lately my wrists have been acting up due to circumstances, and these curls are giving me problems. I don't...

You make a good point. But imagine you do 6 reps per set, but aim for 8. Now if you up the weight, you might 'only' do 4 reps per set. When you return to the weight you were on a plateau, you...
