Cheers mate.

Well I am really struggling as you can see with the skull crushers, lateral raise and also the barbell curl (Forgot to mention it was 15kg + bar)

My arms are just like jelly when I do a higher weight with those exercises, is there anything I can do bar take it slowly and just keep doing the weight I am now till it gets ok then move up a weight?

I had a mate called Ivon Jackson, tremendous physique, he won the junior Mr World at 19 a few years back, and he always trained biceps after chest, instead of tris, for that reason.He always said push pull did not work for him, so swap arms round for a bit, see what happens.

Skipping or jump rope, as the yanks call it,is one of the best things you can do.I always do 3x 3 min rounds before every workout.

Also you can always,"Pre-Exhaust" the muscle,isolation movement before a compound movement,ie dumbell flys before bench press, side lats before press behind neck.Google it,they explain it better than me.<br /><br />-- Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:24 pm --<br /><br />

I'm starting to get back into a fitness routine. Basically I used to go to the gym 4-5 times a week and was in really good shape. Then I went on my travels and was still keeping fit, doing a lot of running and resistance work. But been about a year since I did anything resembling exercise now and over christmas piled on the pounds enjoying seeing family and friends again having returned back to England. Got a new job and didnt kerb my eating so noticed a month or so back and thought wait a sec need to stop now. Always been sporty but hit that stage of life now where time to exercise is a bit harder to come by.

Basically not joining a gym as I could only go at peak times and it is ridiculously busy. So been going out for a run 3-4 times a week and I have all the dumbbell/bar bell bench kit from when I used to work out a lot. Eat pretty healthily but mainly been concentrating on cardio. Not finding I am losing much weight, I used to find it really easy and could shed the pounds quite quickly.
I try to dedicate 30-60mins 3-4 days a week. Not looking to get stacked just in decent shape for the beach this summer! Anyone got some good suggestions how to mix it up to try and improve results - do I need to do some more weights, I am focussing on cardio a lot more.
