sdistc Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 See this is the sort of thing I was looking at but was unsure which exercises I should really focus on. Previously I spent to much time doing isolated exercises rather than compound. It took a lot longer than expected to get into shape that way so im hoping shifting my focus onto a lot more compound techniques I should be able to speed things up a bit. Bare in mind I don't go the gym as I have a lot of the equipment at home and see the gym as waste to me. I just need a decent rotor to follow. What kind of equipment do you have at your disposal, Martin? Your probably right there Thomas . See like I said originally im not going for out and out size as this did nothing but slow me down last time. I need to keep my speed and agility but at the same time I just need to add a little extra lean muscle and get conditioning back on track. As for the diet no its not difficult to follow at all but I suspect it will need some improvements. I can post it up to see what you think if you want? Don't get misled into thinking you can't be big and fast and agile! Look at some of the NFL wide receivers or tailbacks - big guys, but can they MOVE!

Kirk Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Oh no doubt those guys can move but in my past experience whenever I put on more bulk I found myself to be less agile and considerably slower. I just don't think my frale body could cope with excess size. To be honest I'm not into the whole '26" pythons' look as its just not me, I prefer my old athletic physique. At home I have a complete bench bar/exercise bench set complete with iron weights and dumb bells. The bench is multi purpose with additional add on's for leg exercises etc. I also have my chinning bar and body dip station and my own manual treadmill for when it rains at home. Naturally I have exercise mat for floor exercises although I am in need of a medicine ball and kettle bells. I also tend to do a bit of cycling as well.

Septic Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I had a personal trainer session on Wednesday and did some core exercises- man I was dead after 40 minutes! It felt good the next day though. Interestingly, he said that about 5-10% of people at the gym knew what they were doing and started pointing out what everyone was doing wrong. Do you guys work out your core separately? As far as I know, its all about balance and technique. I'm already noticing gains as far as my chest and shoulders are concerned. My arms are slightly bigger and I can actually do dips now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
