I have a body like yours aqua but it's hidden behind my fat!!!
I'm not really fat but I could stand to lose a few pounds. What do you think about negatives and hold 'ems. I'm sure you know what negatives are but I will describe what I mean on hold 'ems. My partner and I will .... lets say on bench...grab a cofortable weight and go down half way, count to 10, and then finish the rep. We'll apply the hold 'em technique on all body parts but not all the time. It's just something we do from time to time. Another would be, go down half way 10 times, then start from the bottom and go up half way 10 times and then do 10 full reps. Also, should you be able to do more weight on decline benching? I ask because the other day I benched 315 on the decline 3 times but I can't do it on the flat bench. I was thinking that my triceps come into play more on the decline and I love working tris and I think I am pretty strong on them. Thanks for any info.

ya negatives are good...but thats more for gaining muscle, not losing fat...decline seems easier for me too :notsure: ..not sure, but ive been wondering why myself..i always thought just that part of my pecs were stronger...i can do 425 on decline, but 405 on flat...oh well...but negatives are good, one of my favorites...its good to have 6 different workouts per muscle and switch them up for a variety

I love negs also though I have only been doing them for a short while but I credit them for my increase in strength. It only sucks that some musle groups are hard to do negs on by yourself esp triceps. Benching over 400 is one of my goals. My partener could almost do 500 when he played football for college but not he works out with 300 to stay in shape. I just wished I had taking lifting more seriously when I was younger and 400 wouldn't be as hard of a goal. Gets a lot harder past that 30 age mark :scared:

Well I benched 360 something when I graduated highschool. I touched weights from time to time since then but really didn't get back into it until 3 yrs ago. Well I figured I would start with 2 plates (135) and I almost killed myslef. Man was I upset. Anyway, I used the smith machine for months until I could do around 200 and then I went back to the fre weights. So the moral to my story is that it takes time and dedication and before you know it, you will be doing more weight.

Man if I could turn back the clock I could lift a house right now but it's too late! But I can lift a trailer
Anyway, what do you think are best tricep and bicep routines for explosive arms. I love weighted dip for tris but just wondering what you like.

well dont do bi's and tri's together...
triceps
- tricep extension (behind back with 1 dumbell/2hands and with preacherbar)
-skull crushers (with preacher bar)
-weighted dips
-sometimes close grip bench
AND if your lucky and your gym has pullies...do those too
biceps
-hammer curls
-negatives
-preacher curls
-concentration curls
AND if your gym has pullies do supermans
choose 3 excercises 2-3 sets of reps between 12-14
so week 1; monday- bicep/back= hammercurls, preacher, concentration curls
tuesday- tricep/chest= extensions, close grip bench, weighted dips
week2 sunday; bicep/back= preacher, concentration, negatives
monday; tricep/chest= weighted dips, extensions, skull crushers
hopefully that wasnt confusing

Do lots of cardio workout to burn calories and keep your calories low for the day.. very low carbs and fat and make sure you're eating good foods besides that.. and its a piece of cake. I lost 20lbs in 2 months and I only did cardio like 3 days a week.

Are you sure that it won't make muscle?
I want to lose the fat and not build muscle.
I'm starting Pointe on Monday and was told that I need to go ahead and start losing weight.

Cardio isnt what makes you gain muscle. It burns calories.. too much cardio may even destroy muscle.
