Hey people im ur average gym rat...and

i love rugby alot too but hey nuthing beats bodybuilding.

Ok ill get down to the point. I hurt my knee really bad and since i cant do nothing properly in the gym i stopped completely....iknow stupid decision but hey i couldnt do shit cant squat can deadlift u get my drift aye.

But since i love training so much i do cardion every day and pressups 5 sets to failure with different hand positioning and pull ups with different grips then abs....and i do atleast 30 mins on the punching bag.

Do u think this is good? should i add anything ?

Before i go was pretty strong for a 17 yr old bench was 220 squat was 400 and deadlift was 485.
Thanx heaps guys

What are your goals?

what did you do to your knee, can you do anything for your legs?

hey i told u im ur average gym rat i love weights i wanted to get really big but consequences stopped that from happening. My goals right now would be to cut down but maitain size if possible gain more but kip an athletic built.

Actually since ive been doing cycling my legs look bigger feel stronger and a lot more defined then when i used to kill my self with squats i was suprised

First decide to gain mass or lose bf. Don't want to jump to conclusions but it sounds like you may be using your injury as an excuse/reason not do legs or have to worry about them.

you cant get big and cut at the same time. either bulk or cut. : why are u doing all these pushups and pullups if you have a gym and the problem is in your knee not your upper body. and you said you hurt your knee not fractured or broke it..If you just "hurt" it you should be back to squatting and doing weights in no time. i dont understand why you are doing all these if you have a gym and you could be doing real compound workouts with weights

guys aint no one scared of squatting ok thats my fav work out why do ut hink i dont wanna go to the gym coz i wont be able to squat and work my back and i dont wanna blow my upper boyd out of proportion come on maan wats up with the world now a days.

And i aint making excuses not to squat if u ever had a knee in which ur knee cap a.k.a patella moves freely all over ur leg tell me if u still squat.

come on people i came hia for help not criticism

sorry man for the criticism... if you're saying that your legs look bigger and more defined then go crazy with your upper body as long as it doesn't get out of proportion, you should add some upper back work to your routine though

**Freak** · 08-14-2007, 01:36 AM

Wasn't trying to criticize you man was just trying to get to the true motives. As long as you stay proportioned and work toward your goal(s) that is all that matters.

Thx dude umm but wat can i do for my upper back liek i said really not feeling 100% to step into the gym as yet coz im a gonna make things worse so apart from pull ups and press ups wat should i do

**QuinnBW** · 08-14-2007, 01:39 AM

do you mean press ups as in pushing weight above your head for your shoulders?

lastsamurai · 08-14-2007, 01:42 AM

nah bro i meant push ups like ur hands on the ground u know for ur chest apart from push ups and pull ups which other work out is there for ur upper body coz cycling completely covers my lower body

**QuinnBW** · 08-14-2007, 01:46 AM

gotcha. I read press ups and thought of something other then a pushup... fatboy pullups would really help your type of workout
