Is this workout effective?

space1x — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:54:33 +0800

Hi guys, I've been training at the gym for well over a year now, but recently i have put more effort in being consistent and eating right. Just wondering if you guys could take a look at my current workout schedule (which i made myself through trial and error) and tell me if there's any flaws here? I do see results but hey, there's always room for improvement no?

the average time spent in the gym is around 1 hour and 30 minutes, and sometimes i wonder if it is too long? Standard resting time, 1 min between sets, 2 min between exercises.

Monday (Chest & Biceps & Forearm day)

Incline bench press (5x drop set)
Flat bench press (4x10)
Chest dips (3x10)
cable fly (2x40) (light)

zottman curl (3x10)
chin up (3x AMAP)
seated bicep curl (2x40)
forearm curl (3x10) (light)

Wednesday (Back & Tricep & Abs)

wide grip pull down (4x10)
barbell rows (4x10)
Deadlifts (4x6-12)
Close grip pull down (3x10)
cable rows (2x40) (light)

Ez barbell skull crusher (4x10)
Weighted Dips (3x10)
tricep extension (2x40) (light)
leg raises (3x10)
planks (As long as possible, increase by 10 seconds every week)

Friday (Legs & Shoulders & Traps)

Squats (5x drop set)
Leg presses (4x10)
Lunges (4x10)
Standing calf raises (5x10)

Seated military press (4x10
Arnold press (4x10)
One-arm lateral raise (3x10)
Alternate dumbbell press (2x40) (light)
Upright rows (4x10)
Barbell shrugs (5x10)

What do you guys think? On fridays my time in the gym increases because of the workload.. what should i take away? Any ideas for improvement?

Feedback would be really appreciated

as long as they're plain, im fine with it. preferably with the kind of modern looking strap on the waist tho, stretchy ones. opposed to the common "pull line" ones. haha.

Am i doing it right?

space1x — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 01:22:24 +0800

Hey guys, first time posting here, so i hope i dont get flamed!

brief history, i went to NS , and came back few months back. i lost some weight there, due to the daily jogging and working out, but since i came back , ive been chucking food , fattening food into my mouth, and my belly is getting alot fatter as the day goes by.. didnt really care till everyone around me started to tell me im getting fatter!

now, my target > burn belly fats (6pax ) whilst toning up my muscles, especially the chest!.

i've been going to the gym for quite some time now , maybe around 6 months? but i dont see VERY significant improvement in my body..

these are what i do when i go to the gym, i focus primarily on my upper body.

some RPM to warm up my body,

bench press 4 sets of 20 reps (20kg)
bicep curl, with dumbbells, 3 set of 15 reps, (7.5kg)
triceps curl, with dumbbells, 3 set of 15 reps, (5kg)

and a little of other workout machines...

i always had this mindset where i thought i'd focus on my upper body, especially the chest, to achieve a surfers body, am i doing it wrong?

i have been doing very little cardio since NS , and im planning to start tomorrow! what i plan to do is skipping ropes and jogging.. dont know if im gonna go HIIT tho, the last time i tried, i couldnt keep up

i have been considering getting supplements such as protein shakes, fat burners? i dont know what you call them.. but i have no idea what should i get!

can you guys recommend me some?

i've been reading the stickies, and i didnt know squats were that useful, are they any good in terms of helping me burn fats?

my weight : +- 68kg
my height : 176cm

thanks in advance for replying!

Headphone recommendation?

space1x — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:33:20 +0800

hello guys , i am currently finding a HEADphone for myself but i have no experience in that whatsoever , any good recommendation?

my budget is around rm 300~400

usage is for , as the topic description stated , 70% music and 30% gaming

and i hope the design isnt that bad either , cause sometimes maybe i want to use it outdoors

firstly i wanted to get steel series Siberia / senheiser hd555

but those are quite old tech , released at least 5 years ago , and i read comments from internet saying their quality for music is so-so.

any recommendation will be greatly appreciated , thanks in advance =X

***i wear spectacles and i want a headphone that provide comfort even after hours of usage. i have experienced some which makes your ear irritated after a few hours.

and i want to use it to listen music through my phone , so theres no ultra sound cards in my phone. any one with good sound w/o good sound card? and very good with sound card? (ill sometimes use it for pc too)
