home routine gains - 15 July 2008 21:25
Hey,

i've been doing this home exercise routine for about a month now, and i was just wondering about a few things i might not be doing properly. (im quite skinny and doing any kind of weights is new to me)

What i tend to do each day is 3 sets of pushups (normally 30, then 25, then 20), 3 sets of crunches (35, 25, 20), then my arms i use a dumbell and do 3 sets on each arm (15, 12, 10) alternating between arms each set. Sometimes i do more than this if im bored, and will repeat all the sets later on in the day.

My problem is that whilst i have noticed a big gain in my arm size and arm strength (ive gone up from about 5.5kg dumbell to 10kg in like...2 weeks, and my arms look noticably bigger ) .... i am still stuck on the exact same amount of pushups. I max out at about 30... and even though im doing them every day i cant seem to do any more!!

Any advice would be great!

firstly you shouldnt train the same muscle group more than twice, maybe 3 times a week

deffo shouldnt be training the same muscles more than once a day

your muslces need at least 48 hours to recover

what is your diet like ?
