I've been working out for many years now eventhough I had a pretty long break wich ended just recently. So I feel pretty confident on saying you can ask me if you have something you wanna know You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Monday: Chest/triceps/abs Tuesday: Quads, hamstrings, calves Wednesday: Back, Biceps, lower back Thursday: Shoulders, traps, abs Now during rugby, I have practice on tuesday and thursday, but still hit monday and wednesday. max bench was 405, max squat 495 (was scared to go higher), and deadlift was 455. No clue what it is now, probably somewhere in the 350 range. I did 315 4x about a month and a half ago, but I don't really keep track anymore. Now I have to lose 30 lbs to play rugby .

I have no Idea what a "upper body resistance trainer" is, but when you actually try to grow muscles in size, you REALLY shouldn't train same muscles 6xtimes aweek. Then again you do just 5 min? I don't know if you have some magical mean bean machine, but 5 minutes sounds like nothing. If you really wanna grow muscles you should start by going to the gym...

There's some good high intensity programs out that I would go to if it weren't so pricy, but check out www.crossfit.com it combines strength with speed and endurance and is a guaranteed ball buster.

I really don't believe it will happen with that, I'm sure Goliath and outlaw would agree on that... I still recommend going to the gym. I have some experience about those kind of training equipment, which you pump or bend or what ever And with great confidence I would say they can add a little to your strenght but, for muscle growth gym is the only answer, besides I don't know about that pump of yours but, you usually "outgrow" these equipment with your strenght pretty quickly... Oh! if you decide to go to the gym... Remember to eat well escpesially a lot of proteins! muscle growth doesn't happen in one night You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But yeah, any jerk can move weights in a gym, the difference is the big jerks eat right and get plenty of sleep too. If you're a rookie around the weights, it might not be a bad idea to pay a trainer to show you some exercises at first to make sure you don't injure yourself and lay the foundation for beginning to understand how to grow. Be careful though, it's easy to get sucked in once you start seeing success. I got sucked in to the point where I was big-o-rexic, which basically made it so now I have to buy "big and tall" clothes and nothing fits quite like it should. Having to trim back down to ~250 was almost devastating news to me since I know my strength and size are going to take a hit, but I enjoy playing rugby so I'm going to have to get down there. Started at 285, at 270 and dropping currently, but boy has my strength taken a hit . You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Now as I've gotten the weight down, I just can't see myself quitting this(and theres no reason also) BUT, I can see myself bigger and stronger in the future...
