Are you "working out", or TRAINING?

[james067]

i am working out

[yodasbrain]

Thought provoking, very good post!

[james120685]

I am not taking any training and only performed exercise in my home by watching the you tube videos....i don't think that i need to join any gym community.

[Juggertha]

Great post.

Notice how most of the idiots cutting it down are 'tweens'? They're the same ones in the gym THINKING they are getting massive. Too bad they didn't put so much thought power into their training. lol

Excellent points about training as opposed to mere exercise, John Gargani. It's a good idea to hit that muscle group with lots of reps to really build muscle and strength, resting a few secs. between. What do you recommend with setting real training goals to have for a total workout time? How long, too, should I rest between sets if I focus on one muscle? Thanks

This morning,it was a little late for me to go to work so i ran to the meto.and in less than one minute i felt so tired and can not run any meters more
it`s very important for daily and regular excerise,really

[trev71]

I find having some clear and focused goals allows for more of a Training mindset.

Else, one ends up in the gym with a case of f#ckarounditis...

Bro I am so guilty of this...now that you mention it, I haven't really trained since I left the military. I was a casual, go to the gym, hop on the treadmill, do a few set number of reps, and wondered why i wasn't seeing results. Now I know ha...Now it's on...Train or Die...

This was an amazing read, thanks!

[CanadianMMM]

I'm new to this site and this is exactly what I needed to read this week! Thank you! Tomorrow I start TRAINING!!! (reps!)

[frontrow]

Just to make sure I've got this right, re: if it works, why move on?

Let's say I'm doing three sets of cable crossovers and three sets of standard bench presses. On the bench, I feel it almost 100% in my arms. With the crossovers, I feel a tremendous chest workout. The OP is suggesting I just say "fek off" to the bench press and do six sets of cable crossovers?

Curious if I'm interpreting this right. I thought variety was an important part of exercising.

[itheepitomei]

Reps. That must have took forever to write, you bring up some great points!

Half of the threads on here are just asking for ANOTHER exercise to do, to tag onto an already cluttered program. People need to pick the good ones, plan ahead, and train there asses off.

And for the record, i TRAIN. I don't say im going to workout, or go to the gym, i say im training. You can always tell the guys that are in the gym to train and the guys that are there to get a workout in.

There is actually this new website that came out a couple weeks ago i think. It's called ArcticPit.com, you pretty much make any videos you want so other people can see them. You dont have to be certified or anything. People should just ask other people to put up videos for them.

Jade jewelry is fashioned into exquisite pieces of jewelry ranging from bangles, beads, belt buckles, brooches and buttons to earrings, hair-pins, pendants, rings and stick pins. You can find Green Jade Pendant carvings that exhibit almost unbelievably intricate details of animals, birds, fish, gods, humans and insects as well as cups, incense burners and vases. You can find jade jewelry articles such as amulets, discs, knives and spearheads. Ring ite bangles are popular in Asia and these beads make beautiful necklaces and bracelets. The metal in the jade jewelry allows light to return from the stone and increases reflection.

I train!

[horsemaskeva]

this is a good thing to ask yourself every day! I work out every day

[ASTRONOMICAL]

While I like the idea it seems like I should wait til I'm bulking to really add to AllPros routine. I'm kinda prone to injuries from pushing too far. I think I'll push myself harder, but, I don't see why I should while I'm cutting. I'm just trying to preserve what I've got. Any growth is a bonus.

Thoughts?

FTR, I am hitting failure w/ 10 reps on some things. I'm lifting near my max. I just don't see a point in adding sets at this time. It sounds like a good way for me to end up on the DL [yet again] and completely binge on food cuz I'm pissed that I can't train.

I really like the idea of adding extra to things I'm "grooving on" cuz I can definitely relate with the sentiment that somedays certain things are just going better than others. Fir instance, my overhead press seemed notably easier the other day.

[smackinoff]

Great post! I was working out for my first year of lifting, but now I have goals and a routine. I feel like I am training now. Its great to put this into perspective.

[royalvj]

Thanks a ton.... Surely enlighten my idea about Over Training.
