First Time sa GYM...

Teka lang , panu ka nkkapagtype sa PC kung di mo ma-straight ang arms mo?:upset:

hahahaha
natawa ako dito

but tama sila, usually DOMS occcur after 24-48 hrs of working out. and yes, normal yan. give it at least 2-3 days, mawawala rin yan.

I remember when i first started, I did both tricep and bicep, after 2 days hindi ako makatulog dahil sa sakit, hindi ko rin ma straighten yung arms ko. but if after 3 days na masakit pa rin, baka serious na yan. as per ninoi, go see a DOCTOR

hmmmm...pagnasa 25% na ko ng workout sa gym saka ako umiinom ng energy drink eh, yung samurai, pero di naman lage pag nag ggym ako, pero lumalakas talaga ako pag uminum nun, tapos na yung program ko pero parang gusto ko pa kahit alam kong pagod na muscles ko. saka ok lang daw mag take a bath after gym, can be cold or warm, pero i prefer warm water saka dapat mabilis lang ang pag shower. wag magbabad sa tubig. yun yung sabe ng kasama kong nag ggym na nurse.

hay...rest muna ngaun sunday, sakit ng chest ko eh:lol: effective yung bagong program ko sa chest...

:what: :what: :what: Bro, kahit nasa 2009 na tayo still hindi advisable na maligo after work-out. Well, its all up to you kasi mas magandang umiwas ka lang sa pasma :slap: .. ganyan din kasi ang nangyari sa kasama ko, beginner din, everytime na nggigym after nun naliligo dahil may shower so napasma, half of his body is not responding.. kaw? it's up to you naman talaga.. Gudluck!!:hat:

ANO ba ang ENGLISH term ng PASMA? Matagal ko na hinahanap ang equivalent nyan sa engish eh. Mtagal ko n rin yan nire-research. SA aking pagpunta sa kung saang sang site, dito lang sa PILIPINAS may ganyang paniniwala. KUng totoo yang pasma siguro marami ng PASMADO sa USA, EUROPE, at kung saang saan pang panig ng mundo na maY gym. Wala ring iniwan yan sa paniniwala ng ilang kababaihan na wag maliligo pag may mens dahil mababaliw daw.
Dito lang din sa Pinas may ganung belief.

In all likelihood, improper form or incorrect execution ang dahilan ng malady ng friend mo kung totoo ngang may kaibigan kang napasma. HIndi yun dahil sa paliligo after mag workout.
20 yrs na ako naliligo after workout, so far im still ALIVE EN' KICKING
 
Good day mga bro..
Baguhan p lang ako d2 sa symbianize. :)
Last week I started working out. I am 24, 5'6" tall and 160lbs ang weight ko. Ask ko lang mga brod kung proportion ung weight ko sa height ko. Malaki po tyan ko ngaun at nasa 33 waistline ko..(dami fats! - huhu!) D2 ako Abu dhabi ngaun work and wala pong instructor sa gym n provided ng company namin. So magisa ko lang talaga gumgwa ng routine ko. Pag naggigym ako, treadmill ako for 1 hour, tas saka ako gamit ng kung ano anong facility for weightlifting (chest at stomach part). Baka may pwede po kayo maitulong mga brod. First Time ko mag gym, I never tried mag gym sa pinas before. Eto lang din kasi paraan ko para magunwind and para hindi ko mamiss gaano family ko jan sa Pinas. Sana matulungan niyo ako mga brod? Thanks in advance! :)

Kapatid na BANGLES, isang oras sa threadmill is too much.
20 min is jaz enuf. The better and faster way to butn that ugly belly fat is do INTERVALs. ANU ang intervals? its like this: you run as fast as u can for 1 min then walk for 2 mins. Run again for 1 min and walk again for 2 mins. PAulit ulitl ang until u reach that 20 mins.
Another way is to do CIRCUITs. Anu ang circuits?
Its doing execises in sucession with little or no rest at all.
Usually 5 exercises to. SInce u jaz started, yung intervals muna ang gawin mo.

Wag ka magmadali, u'l get the body u want in no time at all. Jaz remember that having a nice looking body will depend so much on what you eat ( i' d say 60% / 40% ) 60 for the foods/nutrition and 40 on what you do inside the gym.

Wag ka maiinggit sa mga taong nasa loob ng GYM, work at ur own pace para di ka ma-injure. Be careful out there.
 
mga tol, dun sa mga naliligo after gym, naliligo ba kau right after sessions?or rest muna? ano ba recomended na water?hot or cold? and lastly, pwede bang mag take ng pain relievers say ibuprofen??

@ninoi..thanks bro..
hmmmm..mukhang nakakapagod un. :) nyekz..hehe!
cge try ko yan gawin 2mo. sunday kasi d2 cmba ako. :)
Baka may pede ka bigay na gym program after ko gawin ung sa threadmill bro..thanks
 
@losoka, pagtapos mu magworkout mag shower ka na habang pinagpapawisan, saka wag ka na magtake ng pain relievers, dati nung sumakit katawan ko dahil sa workout, nagtake ako ng isang alaxan, ang naramdaman ko nung umepekto na yung gamot parang nanghina yung masakit na muscle ko at weird ang pakiramdam.

@eternal_flame, go dude, baguhan din ako sa gym pero tambay ka lang dito lage, madame ka matututunan like others here na bago din :lol:

@neyney, Thanks bro. Sana magwork etong pagwoworkout ko. :) ano routine mo ngayon sa gym, dba bago k din?
===guys! one of this days magpopost ako ng picture ng body ko at makikita niyo if gaano ka-ugly ang belly and midsection ng body ko. :cry: And every month magpopost ako ng pagbabago sa body physique ko "KUNG MERON" :)===
 
Dont forget to have some warm up before starting your exercise. Ive been workin out for almost 3mos now in ff trinoma. Im more of toning and definition.

i agree with this. isang malaking myth yung PASMA. Hindi yung paliligo after a strenuous activity ang cause ng pasma, but something else.

same pala tayo ng height and weight bro..

since newbie ka, try mo munang mag whole body workout every other day para masanay yung katawan mo. like mwf ka for the whole body. then pag conditioned na yung katawan mo, try to work out specific body parts.

i agree with ninoi, 1 hr in the treadmill is way too much. unless of course gusto mong maging marathon runner :lol: hehehe..

i would suggest HIIT as well, but be careful lang, since newbie ka, baka hindi pa sanay ang katawan mo, kaya take it easy. baka ma injure ka lang.

PAHABOL: Inumpisahan ko basahin ung first post sa thread na 2 hanggang sa latest post.. Gusto ko din magkaroon ng sexy boy:)..PLEASE help!

bro, the only way for you to achieve that is to consistently lift weights and eat clean. useless din if you lift weights 5 times a week then drink and smoke every night. unless of course that you are genetically gifted. our muscles do not grow in the gym, but in the kitchen. Without proper food, your body will be more toned, but will never get bigger.

amen to that bro. one of the common problems is sobrang nagmamadali yung iba, then pag walang nakikitang result, they give up easily. remember that lifting weights is not only looking good, but feeling good as well. it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but in the end, it will all be worth it!

@kyle6600, thanks sa advice bro. Ano yung whole body bro? ano mga gagawin kong exercise? sa threadmill lang ba? wala kasing nagaasists sakin ako lang magisa bro, company gym kasi pinaggigyman ko d2. Parang gusto ko araw-arawin mag gym kasi parang hinahanap n ng katawan ko bro, okei lang ba un? at parang sumasarap pakiramdam ko mga bro..:yipee:
==baka pwede paadvice kung anong suitable weight sa height ko n 5'6" mga bro?==
**isa pa, anong mga pwedeng kainin and inumin n mga food pagnaggigym ka? saging, apple, ubas, chicken kinakain ko starting last week..I have not tried yung sinasabi nyong egg white, frsh ba kinakain yun o ilalaga mo pa? :think:
atsaka, natatakot ako uminom ng fresh milk baka nakakataba un? :confused:
###Ano p ba maganda kainin at inumin mga bro? d2 kasi ako UAE. Puro mga bago skin pagkain dito. Madami fresh juices of mixed fruits dito n may sugar content (sobrang tamis). okei lang ba un?:) Mayang 5pm (9 pm-philippine time) ako ulet maggigym, at nagdala ako saging.:lol: Thanks ulet mga bro?

Bro, dont worry too much about the weight. Muscle has the same weight as fats. Just aim for packing on some muscles while burning the fats.
FRUITS are perfectly ok to eat, they are you're ally. so does eggs ( dont even worry about the yolks eat em' whole ), chicken, fish and veggies.
Yung mga furits juices dito sa ME are not really fresh. They are overly laced with sugar.

The 3-day-per-week, full-body workout plan
by Chad Waterbury


Harbinger Hypertrophy

Let’s cut the bullshit and get to the brass tacks. For decades, men built slabs of muscle with simple, three day-per-week training programs. They trained their whole bodies in one brief workout session and they grew big and strong. Scoff all you want, but tens of thousands of trainees can’t be wrong.


Well, it's high time we look into the past, learn from what we see, and build a new future.

We must learn from the successes and just as importantly, the failures. Yes, although this classic hypertrophy plan worked well, it wasn't perfect. And today we know what we can do to fix the drawbacks.

Let's break it down right now. The majority of non-steroid injecting trainees who’ve built respectable physiques have done so with the following, undisputable parameters:

1) They train every major muscle group three times each week.

2) They keep intensity levels sufficient without overindulgence.

3) They choose a training volume that can be maintained along with the stressors of life.

4) They execute compound, multi-joint exercises that have been shown to produce the most hypertrophy.

5) They keep each training session as brief as possible.

6) They allow at least 48 hours of recovery between workouts.

I’ve worked with trainees at every imaginable level of the fitness spectrum, and the aforementioned elements are ubiquitous in their most successful hypertrophy programs. So I often wonder why they ever strayed. Why stop doing what's working?

Usually their reasoning is based along the following statement that I recently heard from a veteran of the iron game: "Hell," he said, "I don’t know why I ever stopped doing it. I just assumed there was a better way." Well buddy, I’m here to tell ya, there ain’t no better way!

I’ve written numerous training programs for T-Nation, and they all work. But, oftentimes, trainees don’t seek what I seek. They want to look good nekkid, period. Not only that, but they don’t give a rat’s ass what strength qualities they’re training. All they care about is the most efficient and effective route to the physique they’ve only seen in pictures.

It’s time for a change. I want each and every one of you to see that physique in the mirror, not just in magazines. But as I said, we must also learn from the failures of past programs. Burnout and training injuries were often a "given" in old-school, total-body programs. The reason for this indiscretion is simple: poor planning.

Therefore, this article is based on the successes of the past along with my own successes as a trainer. I’ve learned to properly plan my clients' programs so results are steadfast and continuous.

Every single time I hit the gym, I perform a total-body workout with most of the following guidelines. I doubt that will ever change. In fact, that’s how I added almost 100 pounds of muscle to my frame. I don’t know why I ever wandered, so I’m here to keep you from running astray.


The Obstacles

The single biggest mistake trainees have made in their quest for the ultimate physique is in periodization parameters. Simply speaking, they keep executing the same damn parameters in hopes of the body not "catching on" to what they’re doing. Big mistake, my friends. Our bodies are designed for one sole purpose: adaptation. If you forget that, then you can forget about ever creating the physique of a Greek God.

Bill Starr came damn close to pulling off one of the best training programs with his classic text, The Strongest Shall Survive. His initial parameters were excellent. Unfortunately, his program wasn’t willing to adapt, so progress on his "Big Three" program came to a screeching halt for most trainees. You can’t endlessly perform the same exercises with the same parameters and keep experiencing results!


A New Generation is Born

Now the dichotomy arises. We must incorporate the variables that withstood the test of time along with a new plan for continued progress. It’s time to take the past, present and future and blend it into a new hybrid plan!

The How

Exercises per Session: 6

Sets per Muscle Group: 2-4

Reps per Exercise: 5-18

Rest between sets for the same muscle group: 60-120 seconds, and 120-240 seconds (antagonist training)

The Why

The first thing you probably notice with the above parameters is variance. This is the key to your consistent hypertrophy success. A lack of variance is the single biggest reason why trainees aren’t still talking about the continuous progress they received from some of the most popular hypertrophy programs. Without consistent change, results will be anything but consistent.

Exercise Selection

Every session is going to consist of six exercises. Why? Because my empirical evidence has shown that natural trainees can consistently maintain six exercises per session without burning out.

It’s imperative to base your exercise selection around compound, multi-joint exercises. Four out of the six exercises for each session must be compound exercises. Six sissy-assed, single-joint isolation exercises ain’t gonna do the trick. But, you can perform a few of my recommended single-joint exercises for two of the six exercises. Here’s the list you must choose from:

Compound Exercises

Chest: Incline, flat, decline barbell or dumbbell bench presses. Wide-grip dips.

Back: Upright or horizontal rows. Pull-ups or pulldowns with pronated, semi-supinated, and supinated grips.

Deltoids: Standing or seated military presses with a barbell or dumbbells utilizing pronated, semi-supinated or supinated hand positions.

Quads: High-bar full barbell squats, hack squats or front squats.

Lower Back/Hips: Traditional and/or sumo-style deadlifts or Good Mornings. Power cleans or snatches.

Single-Joint Exercises

Biceps: Barbell curls, hammer curls or preacher curls.

Triceps: Lying barbell or dumbbell triceps extensions, and pronated or supinated grip pressdowns.

Deltoids: Front, side or rear dumbbell raises.

Hamstrings: Glute-ham raises or leg curls.

Calves: Standing, seated or donkey calf raises.

Stick to the above list of exercises for optimal results.


The Total-Body Plan

First and foremost, proper periodization planning is imperative. Without sufficient set/rep/load/rest parameters, even the best exercises won’t produce results. Therefore, I’ve devised the following periodization plan for unsurpassable hypertrophy increases:

Week 1

Workout 1

Sets: 3

Reps: 5

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Load: Choose a weight that forces you to near-failure for the last rep of the last set.*

*This is the recommended load for all workouts.

Workout 2

Sets: 3

Reps: 8

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 2

Reps: 15

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Week 2

Perform with the same parameters as Week 1, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises (more on this later).

Week 3

Workout 1

Sets: 4

Reps: 5

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Workout 2

Sets: 4

Reps: 8

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 3

Reps: 15

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Week 4

Perform the same parameters as Week 3, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises.

Week 5

Workout 1

Sets: 2

Reps: 18

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Workout 2

Sets: 2

Reps: 8

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 2

Reps: 12

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Week 6

Perform the same parameters as Week 5, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises.

Week 7

Workout 1

Sets: 3

Reps: 18

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Workout 2

Sets: 3

Reps: 8

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 3

Reps: 12

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Week 8

Perform the same parameters as Week 7, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises.


Explanation

1) Weeks 1,3,5 and 7 are to be performed with straight sets. In other words, perform one set of the first exercise, rest, perform your second set, and continue for all the recommended sets before moving on to the next exercise.

2) Weeks 2,4,6 and 8 are to be performed as antagonist training. Every session consists of six exercises so antagonist training is simple; all you have to do is perform three antagonist exercise groupings during each workout. For instance, perform quads/hams, chest/back, and biceps/triceps exercise pairings for the recommended sets and reps.

Example: Do one set for chest, then one for back, then another for chest, etc. Then move on to the next pairing, like quads/hams or biceps/triceps.

3) Choose four exercises under the list of compound exercises. Choose two exercises under the single-joint exercise list. Don't leave out any major muscle groups.

4) Constantly rotate exercises from each category. In other words, don’t always start your session with a chest/back pairing. You must keep rotating the body parts and exercises you begin each session with.

5) Don’t perform the same exercise for more than two weeks in a row. For example, if you performed a flat barbell bench press as your chest exercise for Weeks 1 and 2, you must switch to either incline, decline or dumbbell bench presses for another two weeks before switching again.

6) Increase the load 1.25 to 2.5% with each subsequent workout.

7) Perform all three workouts within a seven-day timeframe with 48-72 hours rest between workouts.

8) Be creative! I’m giving you endless options. Just be sure to pick four compound exercises and two single-joint exercises with each session. You can rotate exercises as much as you desire. All you have to do is follow the prescribed parameters.

The future of training is here. Take charge and use these guidelines for lifelong hypertrophy gains!

Bill Starr came damn close to pulling off one of the best training programs with his classic text, The Strongest Shall Survive. His initial parameters were excellent. Unfortunately, his program wasn’t willing to adapt, so progress on his "Big Three" program came to a screeching halt for most trainees. You can’t endlessly perform the same exercises with the same parameters and keep experiencing results!


A New Generation is Born

Now the dichotomy arises. We must incorporate the variables that withstood the test of time along with a new plan for continued progress. It’s time to take the past, present and future and blend it into a new hybrid plan!

The How

Exercises per Session: 6

Sets per Muscle Group: 2-4

Reps per Exercise: 5-18

Rest between sets for the same muscle group: 60-120 seconds, and 120-240 seconds (antagonist training)

The Why

The first thing you probably notice with the above parameters is variance. This is the key to your consistent hypertrophy success. A lack of variance is the single biggest reason why trainees aren’t still talking about the continuous progress they received from some of the most popular hypertrophy programs. Without consistent change, results will be anything but consistent.

Exercise Selection

Every session is going to consist of six exercises. Why? Because my empirical evidence has shown that natural trainees can consistently maintain six exercises per session without burning out.

It’s imperative to base your exercise selection around compound, multi-joint exercises. Four out of the six exercises for each session must be compound exercises. Six sissy-assed, single-joint isolation exercises ain’t gonna do the trick. But, you can perform a few of my recommended single-joint exercises for two of the six exercises. Here’s the list you must choose from:

Compound Exercises

Chest: Incline, flat, decline barbell or dumbbell bench presses. Wide-grip dips.

Back: Upright or horizontal rows. Pull-ups or pulldowns with pronated, semi-supinated, and supinated grips.

Deltoids: Standing or seated military presses with a barbell or dumbbells utilizing pronated, semi-supinated or supinated hand positions.

Quads: High-bar full barbell squats, hack squats or front squats.

Lower Back/Hips: Traditional and/or sumo-style deadlifts or Good Mornings. Power cleans or snatches.

Single-Joint Exercises

Biceps: Barbell curls, hammer curls or preacher curls.

Triceps: Lying barbell or dumbbell triceps extensions, and pronated or supinated grip pressdowns.

Deltoids: Front, side or rear dumbbell raises.

Hamstrings: Glute-ham raises or leg curls.

Calves: Standing, seated or donkey calf raises.

Stick to the above list of exercises for optimal results.


The Total-Body Plan

First and foremost, proper periodization planning is imperative. Without sufficient set/rep/load/rest parameters, even the best exercises won’t produce results. Therefore, I’ve devised the following periodization plan for unsurpassable hypertrophy increases:

Week 1

Workout 1

Sets: 3

Reps: 5

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Load: Choose a weight that forces you to near-failure for the last rep of the last set.*

*This is the recommended load for all workouts.

Workout 2

Sets: 3

Reps: 8

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 2

Reps: 15

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Week 2

Perform with the same parameters as Week 1, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises (more on this later).

Week 3

Workout 1

Sets: 4

Reps: 5

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Workout 2

Sets: 4

Reps: 8

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 3

Reps: 15

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Week 4

Perform the same parameters as Week 3, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises.

Week 5

Workout 1

Sets: 2

Reps: 18

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Workout 2

Sets: 2

Reps: 8

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 2

Reps: 12

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Week 6

Perform the same parameters as Week 5, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises.

Week 7

Workout 1

Sets: 3

Reps: 18

Rest: 120 seconds between sets

Workout 2

Sets: 3

Reps: 8

Rest: 60 seconds between sets

Workout 3

Sets: 3

Reps: 12

Rest: 90 seconds between sets

Week 8

Perform the same parameters as Week 7, but execute antagonist training for all six exercises.


Explanation

1) Weeks 1,3,5 and 7 are to be performed with straight sets. In other words, perform one set of the first exercise, rest, perform your second set, and continue for all the recommended sets before moving on to the next exercise.

2) Weeks 2,4,6 and 8 are to be performed as antagonist training. Every session consists of six exercises so antagonist training is simple; all you have to do is perform three antagonist exercise groupings during each workout. For instance, perform quads/hams, chest/back, and biceps/triceps exercise pairings for the recommended sets and reps.

Example: Do one set for chest, then one for back, then another for chest, etc. Then move on to the next pairing, like quads/hams or biceps/triceps.

3) Choose four exercises under the list of compound exercises. Choose two exercises under the single-joint exercise list. Don't leave out any major muscle groups.

4) Constantly rotate exercises from each category. In other words, don’t always start your session with a chest/back pairing. You must keep rotating the body parts and exercises you begin each session with.

5) Don’t perform the same exercise for more than two weeks in a row. For example, if you performed a flat barbell bench press as your chest exercise for Weeks 1 and 2, you must switch to either incline, decline or dumbbell bench presses for another two weeks before switching again.

6) Increase the load 1.25 to 2.5% with each subsequent workout.

7) Perform all three workouts within a seven-day timeframe with 48-72 hours rest between workouts.

8) Be creative! I’m giving you endless options. Just be sure to pick four compound exercises and two single-joint exercises with each session. You can rotate exercises as much as you desire. All you have to do is follow the prescribed parameters.

The future of training is here. Take charge and use these guidelines for lifelong hypertrophy gains!

@ninoi, bro thanks sa info..
NOSEBLEED! :)
cge try ko gamitin to. thanks ulet! kakaworkout ko kgabi. sarap ng pakiramdam. :yipee: Next week gamitin ko etong program. :salute:
 
@kyle6600, thanks sa advice bro. Ano yung whole body bro? ano mga gagawin kong exercise? sa threadmill lang ba? wala kasing nagaasists sakin ako lang magisa bro, company gym kasi pinaggigyman ko d2. Parang gusto ko araw-arawin mag gym kasi parang hinahanap n ng katawan ko bro, okei lang ba un? at parang sumasarap pakiramdam ko mga bro..:yipee:
==baka pwede paadvice kung anong suitable weight sa height ko n 5'6" mga bro?==
**isa pa, anong mga pwedeng kainin and inumin n mga food pagnaggigym ka? saging, apple, ubas, chicken kinakain ko starting last week..I have not tried yung sinasabi nyong egg white, frsh ba kinakain yun o ilalaga mo pa? :think:
atsaka, natatakot ako uminom ng fresh milk baka nakakataba un? :confused:
###Ano p ba maganda kainin at inumin mga bro? d2 kasi ako UAE. Puro mga bago skin pagkain dito. Madami fresh juices of mixed fruits dito n may sugar content (sobrang tamis). okei lang ba un?:) Mayang 5pm (9 pm-philippine time) ako ulet maggigym, at nagdala ako saging.:lol: Thanks ulet mga bro?

magandang example yung pinost ni ninoi. you can use it as a guide while you are starting out. for fat loss naman, i would also recommend doing cardio (or HIIT) during your OFF days (non-lifting days). but it is not necessary, with proper diet and weightlifting, you can achieve fat loss and muscle gain as well. Make sure that you get adequate rest and eat properly as well. Chicken, fish, eggs, milk and red meat are just some good sources of protein. Fruits and vegetables are your best friend as well. One more thing, when you are working out, please follow proper posture and execution. Never sacrifice proper form with more weight. we dont want you to get injured or anything. goodluck ulit bro!
