What Rocco said about the 3 sets of 15-20 reps is pretty good. Since you don't want to bulid up mass you want to take a lighter weight and do more reps. You alone will know how many reps too do. If at 15 it starts getting real tough then stop. Take about a 1 min break and then do another set. If you're using say a 15 pound weight, and do 20 reps without difficulty, then you need to use a heavier weight. Doing more than 20 reps is pointless. With situps though you can do more than 20 reps. If you start doing like 30-40 situps easily, then consider doing crossovers or inclined situps/. And seeing as you're gonna be getting weights, then you can work out your shoulders, bicep, triceps, back too.

Alright thanks. I've been doing some press ups recently, about 30 odd and I'll start doing sits too but I'll train a bit harder when I get the weights sorted.

When you do get your weights I could help you out setting up a work out routine and give you pointers and stuff if you want. It's important to work out the right way, doing the exercises that you benefit you, in the proper technique o as to prevent injury a get the maximum from yourexercise.

Ok cool, that would be good. I'm trying to find somewhere close by to get them from tho cuz haven't got any wheels up here so don't fancy carrying them all the way across town.

if your only going for the dumbells try argos in arndale

I'll probably order them from argos to save the walk. Just spent all afternoon lost behind the arndale somewhere and then when I found somewhere I knew (ark) I suddenly became parted with my money. Never mind, I'm gonna take the t-shirts back 2mo cuz they're both shit cuts, those crappy t-s which are wide and short. WTF??? Who on earth can wear clothes like that??? Make your mind up ffs! If its short and skiny, fine, if its long and a little bit baggier, also fine, but short and wide just looks like it shrunk in the wash.

Short and Wide. HA! I thought I was the only person who thought that! I hate those shirts, and I have gotten ripped off before buying one. THrew the receipt out before I got home, tried it on , and AHH, it almost rode up to my bellybutton!

Owwww! I overtrained yesterday, can hardly sit down! My stomach muscles are killing me, I could only lie on my side last night

.
I upped from 2 sets of 15 presses and sits to 3 sets of 15 and I think I somewhat over did the situps.

Whats the best thing to do? Cut out the sits for a couple of days then start at 15 and work back up (but slower this time

)? I've already done my first set of presses today, they were ok so I'll keep doing them for the time being.
What is the best way to know how many of whatever I should be doing? I felt a bit of burn when I was doing the sits but no more than usual, its wasn't till a few hours later that I was rithing around in pain on the floor

Post by **Weedguru Higher** » Mon May 19, 2003 1:37 pm

You know the saying " No Pain, No Gain " ? Well that applies for weightlifting - to a point . There is pain that is bad pain, there is pain that is good pain. To be sore is just a sign those muscles are working. To be withering on the floor is a sigh you should stop. Try taking 1 day off, and see how you feel. On the second day, if you're still a bit sore, do a few less reps, don't force your muscles too much. By the third day you should be okay, and the go back to 15 reps or whatever. You should notice that the next day you may be sore again but less. You'll see, abdominal strenght builds up faster than you might think. You'll be a pro at it before ya know it!!

Basically with weights, you should never do more than 3 sets of a maximum of 20 reps. I personally do no more than 12 reps, but thats cause I take heavier weights cause I'm looking for mass. The last 3 or 4 exercises should be more difficult, but it shouldn't kill you either. If you can easy do twenty reps, then take a heavier weight. Does that answer your question?

Yeah, thanks

. This is deffinately the bad sort of pain

Feels like I'm being stabbed everytime I move. Think I'll buy some deep heat later.

Post by **Weedguru Higher** » Mon May 19, 2003 1:46 pm

Ouch!.....how hard did you find the situps at the time when you were doing them? Was it totally hard, you totally forced the last ones?

Oh, and do you do them with something holding your feet down? Cause if you don't you should. I know it goes against what all phys.ed teachers say, but most bodybuilders do it that way. stick your toes under the edge of the couch or something in the living room. Or you can like rig up a little bar that sticks out of the wall, just at the right height and position for your feet. My buddy did that.

Thats the thing, it really wasn't that hard to do them, the burn on the last few really didn't feel that bad. I did them about 9:00pm, went to bed about 1 feeling a little sore but it wasn't till I woke up this morning that it really hurt.
I was just doing them on the floor, I'll start hooking my toes in tho.
My abs are starting to show properly again tho so it isn't all bad, it just hurts like fuck
