Palms facing away from you?

That's good going mate, everyone has some lifts they are good at and others which aren't up to the same standard :D

Yep, palms away and wide ;)
Once I get back to training on Wednesday I'm going to start really increasing some of my other lifts - bring them all up together (hopefully :p)
 
i hate pullups, although for the 1st time ever i managed 8 wide grip last week :D

when i first started them i couldnt even do 2

same with dips, but they have progressed a lot quicker, on 20kg added weight now
 
Hi there,

The weakness of my routine is my abs/obilique workout. The reason I've been avoiding this area is that I'm limited in terms of cardio work I can do and I'm paranoid about building muscle under the fat and the whole thing being rather counter productive.

I'm hoping that come friday my consultant will be able to give me the go ahead to do a but more in terms of running & swimming and I'd like to know what are the really good excercises are for this area?

So far looks like

Weighted Ball Side Bend http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Obliques/WTBallSideBend.html

Weighted Dumbell Side Bends

Obilique crunches

Dumbell One arm Straight Leg Deadlift
http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/ErectorSpinae/DBOneArmStraightLegDeadlift.html less knee bending by the looks of things!

Any others people would recommend?

I know deadlifts are good for this and I'm excited about try these out by I can't really touch these till I get cleared (injury is a cruciate rupture so need to be carefull with my left knee)

Also with the non weight excercises what amount of sets and reps should I be looking at?

Cheers People

I hated them as well. Now I do about 100-150 total in a session. 10 reps in between sets of other exercises each time.
 
Started taking creatine today and had my first training session! Made excellent strength gains as you can see below.

Bench went from 80kg to 110kg!
Bicep Curls from 25kg to 50kg!

To anyone out there who can't be bothered to sort out your training / rest / diet then just get some creatine inside you, as you can see from my results it's worked wonders!
