[Ashley]

Hey I need help to devolp a new workout, i dont have excellent access to a gym but i am a novice but i am 100% committed i dont need a really advanced one but i would just like to generally burn of some flab and make muscles stronger because at the moment they seem to be non-existant!

Thanks, Ashley!

push ups can you do
pull ups

[Ashley]

push ups 10-15 depends on day
pull ups 1-3
squats - havn't tried them as a exsersie but probably basic levels
dips - dont know what they are!

you're around the same lvl i was at a month ago.
dips-umm not sure how many chair onse you;d be able to do yet so maybe try them leaning on a bed.




ok so put your hands behind you leaning backwards on a bed or something-make sure your feet are pretty far forward and then go down slowly and up slowly.

sorry im not good at explaining things =\ i will try and get a picture for you.

as you get better at them then rest your feet on a chair(chair dips) and they are a bit harder.

[Ashley]

ahhh i see, i knew them as something else, so what do you think of a workout then?!

umm-well i can show you mine.. but kopltz says it's not balanced.. and he didn't give me any constructive critisism on how to change it.
but i think it's pretty good.

[Ashley]

Yup that would be ace!!!

Cheers

well this is mine atm-waiting for koltz to reply so he can actually tell me how my plan isn't balanced... he says i over-do tri's but i do wider grip push ups so they work the chest more.

and i only have one tri-exercise.
i guess i'll have to wait for him to reply-but here it is.

4 sets of 15 push ups
2 sets of 65 crunches-1minute v-sit inbetween them
3 sets of 20 chair dips
3 sets of 20 calf raises-one legged
2 minute stabilizer
3 sets of 45 second wallsits
3 sets of 4 chin ups

in the mornings i do 25-30minutes of cardio every day,on sat and sun i do it during the day though because i sleep in on the weekends :lol:

increased from 14 right angle push ups-to 40(and still going higher)
11 dips-to 35-45
0 chin ups-to 7-8
18 second (perfect) wallsit-now i can do a 1:30 second perfect one
v sits i couldn't hold for over 20 seconds
and i only did 20 crunches.

as you can see in the month i've been doing this i've made some great progress . i've also lost alot of the fat around my stomach and in my face(always had a pudgy face)

so-still waiting for koltz to reply to my thread and explain how it's not balanced-and how to balance it.
but in the mean-time it's going great.

[Ashley]

Hy that sounds great! Thanks

2 sets of 65 crunches- many sits say these can hurt you if you do them wrong can you explain i used to do full sit ups but like i have said i am weary as to doing them right!

1minute v-sit inbetween them what the heck?? lol can you explain! tehe

3 sets of 20 calf raises-one legged umm again i dotn get it
2 minute stabilizer - oops still dont get these!

Cheers!
Ashley

[koltz]

I'd say don't overdo crunches , many "fitness" girls overdo them and ruin thier curves... although don't drop it compleatly and don't chase hypotrophy in that section stick to either high resistance or reps with low volume

For the upper body , you should spend about 20-30% of your time (No matter how it pisses of feminists women don't have much potential for a developed upper body naturally since they didn't evolve to toss spears at mamothes and carry that big fat few tonn animal home with thier buds)

focus on working out the lower body instead (I reccomend doing BW squats and lunges and weighing them down , also do it for high reps sicne the legs are built for it jsut ask the cyclist or avrage bodybuilder doing 20+ rep squats to faliure)

[Ashley]

Umm... thanks but I'm not a fitness girl, I am a 14 year old male!

Could you also explain the excersies i didnt understand??

Cheers!

so why is your user called ashley isn't it a feemale only name?

erm... basicly what I said applies to a gal who has thoose goals , as a guy you should work upper body and legs 50\50

I reccomend the routine in my signature it's very powerfull I do it myself often

[Ashley]

Well it is both or well God gave me a cock by mistake!

Anyway will have a look at yuor workout and see if i can have a go!

Cheers!

i know i'm sorry, i am going to make a post and try and change my workout a bit and see if he thinks it is balanced.

[koltz]

I said it's not balanced because you give too many sets for some muscle groups , and not train others at all,

most "normal" people either work out for overall fitness \ performance and or looks , not working out your entire body isn't good for any of that.

unless you need a certain frame for a given sport like light upper body for running or the oposite for gymnastics
