Alright, these things seem neat, so I'm gonna start one of my own! I go to the gym at least 4 days a week, after my shifts at Subway. I might go tomorrow, and if not, I'll be there Thursday. So... thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading everybody! Here's my workout for Friday, Dec. 23.

My routine is weird, I have a four day split, but I have two workouts for each day, and I alternate every time. And since I hadn't been to the gym in a while because I was out of town, and my chest needs the most attention, I did my chest/triceps day on Friday instead of Monday when I usually would, but everything will get fixed.

Im interested!

How do u do your medicine ball neck exercises?

MainEvent · 12-24-2005, 07:00 PM

I lay like I'm doing a crunch. Flat on my back, knees up. Except I hold the medicine ball on my stomach, and roll back into the top of my head using my neck muscles. I roll back and forth, from ear to ear. Then turn around and do the same thing on my forehead. I gotsta have a big neck for rasslin'!

This doesn't really have anything to do with my training, but I feel like I have a high resting heart rate. It kinda worries me. I figure I'm in pretty good health, I do alot of walking, my workouts, and my wrestling, so I figure my ticker's in good shape. I'm only at around 14% bodyfat. Is heart rate a thing to worry about at 18 years old?

So, I went boxing day shopping today, and (mostly) refilled my supplement cupboard! I got some whey protein, lemonade flavour... yum, for when I don't feel like a thick shake, ZMA, Green Tea Extract, fish oil capsules, and a fat burner. Next paycheque, which will be the fourth I believe, I'm gonna get some Muscle Milk, and some normal chocolate whey. Cool! Finally!
