i do about 10 sets for abs 3 times a week, and 18 sets for legs(including warmups) the only muscles i do about 8 sets for are tris and bis

I didn't do abs for over a year

Currently on 5x5 so my rep range is low. But before.. dunno.. I never did so much. But I guess that goes down to personal preference.

How much time do you guys spend there?

How much time do you guys spend there?

In the guy? When I had 3 day split I spent like 45min-1h at most. Now with this new routine I spend 1.5-2h there (including walk to that place and warming up).

 

[GordoDeCentral]

How much time do you guys spend there?

60-90 minutes, my breaks are 30-45 seconds

How much time do you guys spend there?

1h30 mins, currently 3 times per week, as its a strenght training. however, i recuperate much faster then i was doing on 3*3 and bill star, so i'm going back to 4 days/week soon.

Then again, my right rotator cuff is hurting again on 92%max so i might not

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Okay, that's mine too. When you started talking about 10 sets, 15 sets, it had me wondering.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

92%? you truly are a fascinating character Zach

15 sets is about 4 exercises, so yesterday i did 5 exercises for shoulders and then 3 for abs, 60 minutes

a weight, is just a weight. its easyer to tell the % of your max you are training with.

Like that, people can imagina what it would be for themselves, and you dont come over bragging

True true.

easy there, i said it was hurting today, not that it was torn :tongue:

I'm trying out new wides of grip on the barbell when benching the weight.

Its annoying me however, it keeps starting to strain each time i take over 120

 

[GordoDeCentral]

lol that cursed bench, i have stayed away from it ever since my injury

What happened? Cannot remember if I asked you this before.

I think I told you about pulling a muscle in my back a few weeks back while doing Squats (poor technique)
Haven't done them since

 

[GordoDeCentral]

i tore my left pec muscle, as for squats make sure you get the technique right on the smith, even use a bench to help you get down with good balance. I doubt it's anything serious tbh

descripe me the kind of pain.

I'm certain you didnt actually pulled a muscle, just strained one.

Lower back is the most resillient musclegroup in the body.

Oh man, that sounds painful, what was the recovery time? That's solid advice with the smith machine. I wouldn't mind but I've done squats plenty of times, I just had a lapse of concentration, arched my back and it all went wrong.

It's ok now, but at the time it was a really tight numb pain in my upper back. Will start back doing them again but will take it easy for a bit with a lighter weight. I think I tried to add too much weight too quickly in all honesty, rookie mistake.

Is it possible you are bending over far to much ?

Upper back is a region that only gives problems, when bending over to much, or when inbalancing

Or deadlifts

possibly bending over too much

No but seriously, I'm gonna get one of the trainers in the gym to go through it properly with me next time, just to avoid any further mishaps
