Saturdays Are All About Flys and Cable Crosses

You really doing 4 reps on the squats?  Heavy weight I take it?  Not a body builder but curious as hell on that deal.

If you don't mind me asking, what kinda weight on those four reps?  And do you do free bar or Smith machine?

I keep forgetting to do squats

 Hey, it's a start..............& you're smart to start light. Nothing like crippling yourself (so to speak) with sore legs to keep you out of the gym.

 Pay attention to what's sore in the next day or two.............it can be tough to get the right form for squats.

Good advice themugg

Always been little fraid of squats for that very reason.

Felt it in the hams

Will definately check out the you tube later and Thanks for thinking of me

Man I've been in the weight room for 3 weeks and honestly, I don't want to get any bigger.  I think my goal now is to maintain this size and weight.  I'm not big, just like this size though.

Got into a 225 contest with a buddy and don't need to get carried away with that.

Goals for next month are just to maintain.  Could lose a pound or two but this is good enough to get laid

That looks like the kettlebell snatch.  I think the kettlebell has a better angle though.

Thanks for reminding me, I think I'm gonna do kettle bells for a month.  That and bicycling. 

My legs are wimpy and I never work arms but legs and arms are at least cut.  Will probably do legs for a few weeks and minimal upper body.  Those flys have got my chest ripped and only been doing them for maybe a month.

The kettlebell handle has an unusual handle that is comfortable but also (I think) works the shoulder.  It's old school Russian stuff.  They make them in all different sizes.  55 used to be the common max but they make them as big as you want now.  My gym has 28/35/55 sizes but it's not necessarily a power technique.

Mostly just flys but do them to FATIGUE and a lot of them.  Been doing various weights but mostly high rep.  For chest, I've been doing about 4 QUALITY high rep sets of flys (20-25 reps) and some incline bench.  Been doing a little flat bench press but not high weight but high rep.  135-185.  If not hitting the gym, can always get a good pump from doing some pushups.  Both normal grip and INSIDE grip.  Don't have to do all that many.  Maybe 3 sets of 25 each.

As a guideline, would maybe do 2-3 sets of incline bench... LOW weight.

And FLYS until the cows come home.
