Going to try to use this board as a sort of progress blog type thing...
Week 1:
Started the gym, was pumped after my first day, excited to go back.. Woke up the next day with the stomach flu. Of course something had to kill the momentum I just started.. Ah well, I felt better after a week
Now the ACTUAL Week 1:
I AM WEAKER THAN I THOUGHT
Using this week to get my body used to proper form.. well, got me lifting so tiny. I feel so weak and silly in the gym.
Pull-ups... oh pull-ups.. I can't even do one. Resorting to jumping up and "controlling" the negative. Yup "controlling" I'd grab, jump and just fall right back down into a dead hang. So after I got tired of jumping I'd hang for 3 sets of 20 seconds.
Barbell Rows? HA! Nope! Doing Dumbbell Rows to get my form proper, everything else is too heavy.
Bench Press? I preferred to tear my chest up with dumbbell presses instead of an empty barbell.. Again too weak but hey, my form was good.
Tricep pushdowns with lat raises Superset? Evil
Overhead triceps extensions with lat raises superset? Also evil
Legs/Abs? They actually weren't that bad. Romanian Deadlifts killed me though.
I Kill all my ab workouts too😎
End of week 1: My Arms are swollen to thy kingdom come and tight! Probably didn't warmup properly, won't be making that mistake again though.. Am i bad for saying these swollen arms kinda look good? having big arms and stuff.. they look good after my showers.. even thought i cant move them.
They're back to normal now though.
Anyways looking forward to next week, may not be lifting heavy but TUT helps while perfecting my form.
Happy Training Guys.😌
