How often you going to the gym Freaky? I've cut back to 3 days a week now that I'm working my two jobs again and I spend about 90mins to 120mins in there doing some of my rehab plus some upper body.That should be plenty of time for you to focus on two muscle groups (say 2-3 exercises each muscle group) and also leave time to do something like an ab routine, legs or some cardio.Not sure how everyone else does it but I have been going chest and bi's, back and tri's. If you do chest and tri's, back and bi's you're doubling up on exercises so you will get a better workout but you may struggle to get all your exercises finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Donating Members 277 Member For: 13y 5m 3d Gender: Male Location: Rockhampton Posted 08/02/13 01:07 AM Share Posted 08/02/13 01:07 AM I don't use straps but I find myself almost needing them for things like barbell and dumbell rows. I'm not the biggest guy and have a fairly sh*tty grip and find my weight is limited by what I can hold onto. For example I could probably do 40kg dumbell rows but stay around the 32-34 range as I can't keep a good grip in the heavy ones so I'm more focused on that and not on isolating the muscle. Adam I'm sure you being a bigger guy with "bigger hands" would find it much easier than most to grip a heavy bar. No pun intended. But I might give the chalk a go. Chalk is the answer. I've used it for everything from deads, to kroc rows to KB swings. And cheap as fark too. Try it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 3m 27d Gender: Male Posted 12/02/13 06:41 PM Share Posted 12/02/13 06:41 PM It's really basic mate and you really don't learn much from books. It's like most things the more you do it the better you get. I make my cooking really really simple more so for time saving. Get 3 heads of broccoli, cut then up and boil them until they are still firm but edible. While that's happening ill take 4 chicken breasts throw then in an over tray and cook on 180 for 15-20 mins. Once they are done ill let them cool slice them up and portion them I to my tubs with cooked broccoli. Then I just decide what flavour I want whether it be chilli, BBQ, Asian, plain, whatever. I actually love cooking and do some real fancy sh*t at times but mon-fri it's all about convenience and after almost 10 months of up to a kg of chicken a day I'm not sick of it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
