Going to try something different tonight for back/biceps.

Deads
BOR
Pull ups

...

Delvis · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:34

Basically what I do, but I do single arm rows due to no pull-up bar

Skillmister · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:35

What else? I need to copy your routine

I was thinking deadlifts, BORs/dumbell rows, pullups, chinups, bb curls, db curls and maybe some EZ bar curls on the bicep bench thing.

Dunno which to do out of BOR or dumbell rows....

LiE · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:36

Nope just those 3 exercises. Keeping it simple like a boss.

Skillmister · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:40

What and no biceps? Nice joke

LiE · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:43

My biceps will be fried from doing heavy BOR and pull ups. I may toss in a bicep isolation at the end so I can hang out in the bicep monkey enclosure.

Skillmister · 13 Jan 2012 at 16:44

I find my biceps can take (and need) quite a huge amount of abuse. I really started seeing some gains when i added in an extra couple of isolation exercises aswell. Before i was just doing BB curls but once i added in some dumbell curls and a few drop sets growth did occur. Probably why i have horrible stretch marks now

Delvis · 13 Jan 2012 at 17:03

Aye, I was going to say that probably explains your stretch marks

I'd do bors over DB rows...although DB rows work better on my left than right soooooo

Skillmister · 13 Jan 2012 at 17:05

Db rows is the only exercise i can do more reps with on my left than my right. It's quite odd.

Anyway to the gymmm

It's also REALLY hard to do with strict form, you're probably rocking more than you realise with your left to compensate for its lack of strength

Delvis · 13 Jan 2012 at 17:24

Aye done something like this, not quite in that angle though, will have to stick a bench in front and try thatway

Hedge · 13 Jan 2012 at 17:46

Ive been watching a few of this guys videos on Youtube. He is quite entertaining

Cool guy

That was a LOT of words to say something quite basic

But bless his cottons he was polite about it

Hedge · 13 Jan 2012 at 18:03

He has lots to say about lots of things lol. Check out his other videos. Hes a likeable bloke, quite funny at times too. Probably not intentionally

Skillmister · 13 Jan 2012 at 18:15

Wow! So apparently i've lost almost no deadlift strength over the holidays, but my grip is ruined! Dropped 130kg from the top of the lift and got a shouting at by some old woman

DL 70kgx8 90kgx8 110kgx5 130kgx1x3

Then i could barely manage any pullups or rows because my grip was in tatters

Could hardly hang on to 25kg dumbells.

Still, very nice workout, might have to bring my straps along tomorrow though and get someone to show me how to use them properly for when i do heavy DLs until my grip gets better again.

Delvis · 13 Jan 2012 at 18:38

Why are you carrying 130kgs up a lift?
