Yup, well I've been training for years, had my share of injuries, ups and downs, but now I feel confident for the first time in my life that I know how to do this, and it feels great after the first years of "Fooling around".

Works great for me. I'm happy just with being athletic and obviously I don't try to reach big mussels, but all men practicing kung fu with me reach them that way.

That's a little bit controversial, because exercising one muscle group daily isn't generally the best idea(except for abs, that is). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

People have different opinions... Agreed, Doing 30 - 40 pressups a day would help general fitness but only develop a small part of the pectoral muscle... plus doing it everyday would be overtraning the muscle so it would give little benefit, the abs on the other hand are spot on, abuse them long and hard everyday if you want big abs. The forarm exercise is ok, but as I am heavy training I need my grip strengh to match that of my other muscle groups, I do the exact same exercise but kneeling at the side of a bench with my arms straight across it, and then a bar with the desired weight. Another good one is to life the heavist weights you can lift and walk with them around the gym. Jamesito You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Iv´e never had any problems with my back though when I was drilling my abs. I do use T bar and deadlifts though, which hit the lower back aswell. Your lower back is not so much one muscle but two colums of smaller muscles, they are called spinal erectors i believe. They are a common injury area for a begineer so follow this forums advice and don´t forget to do them. Jamesito You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
