April 5, 200422 yr If so... Any workout philosophies you follow? I'm personally a big fan of the Lance Storm (stormwrestling.com) way (4 times of 6-12 lifts). I'm getting back into the clubs here and in need of some technique stuff (especially in terms of actual workouts). I also HATE using the bars and much prefer using the freeweights.
April 5, 200422 yr pullups, bench pressing, and jogging always helped me for my baseball swing and that's all i cared about...
April 5, 200422 yr I use the free weights i do the 3 sets(12-10-8) and go up about 10-15 lbs after each set
April 5, 200422 yr Author I want massive Glenn Danzig-like arms. Period. The key is to work out the OTHER parts of your arms so your body doesn't have freakish arms/chest and skinny little legs.

April 5, 200422 yr i workout out for football. But a college football regimen is not like most people's workouts.
April 5, 200422 yr Author i workout out for football. But a college football regimen is not like most people's workouts. I used to go to the same athletic club as a lot of the Buckeyes and some of the stuff they could lift was ridiculous.
April 5, 200422 yr most non-athletes don't do clean, jerk, or snatch (wow those lifts sound sexual). Also, most don't do circuit training.
April 6, 200422 yr i workout out for football. But a college football regimen is not like most people's workouts. I want to be ripped just like Furman. I need to be able to pull off plaid.
April 6, 200422 yr I workout 3 times a week. I use a combination of free weights and machines. My workout consists of: 2 or 3 Chest exercises 3 Bicep exercises 3 Tricep exercises 1 Shoulder/Back exercise 2 Forearm exercises 2 Ab exercises 1 Quadericep exercise 1 Calve exercise Not really big and dont plan to get big but I've defintely gained a lot more muscle than before because my arms were twigs and I had very flabby chest which has gotten harder now. I was wondering anyone have any good exercises for shoulders and back I can do with free weights?
April 6, 200422 yr I was wondering anyone have any good exercises for shoulders and back I can do with free weights? compound exercises are by far the best... i hope you're doing some sort of squat/leg press since that builds more mass than pretty much any exercise. for shoulders you should definitely do the shoulder press with dumbells or the military press with a barbell. that's bread and butter there. lateral raises with dumbells and upright rows with barbells are also worth adding to your routine... if you're past the "very beginner" stage you should be splitting your routines into muscle groups. you're probably better off using the machines for back exercises, although shrugs are always good with free weights. if you really want to use free weights for your back, you can do the bent-over row with just a bar, or you can use one dumbell if youve got a bench. you can also lie down on the bench and do rows with a pair of dumbells. hope that helps... you can probably find vids of most of these exercises online.

My workout consists of you can say 20min intervals of 4 sets of 12-15reps for each exercise: First 20 Minute: 1 Chest 1 Bicep 1 Tricep Second 20 Minute: 1 Forearm 1 Shoulder/Back 1 Chest 1 Tricep 1 Bicep Third 20 Minute: 1 Tricep 1 Quad 1 Bicep 1 Calves 1 Forearm
