kindred, yes, it's the instability. Happens to everyone. The extra work of having to balance the weight in each hand rather than with both drops the total weight you can handle. From machines to barbell to dumbell, you can use less weight for the same effort.

Dumbell, barbell, still works your muscles, which is what you want, so don't worry.

whats happening

kindred · 29-11-2009, 09:39 AM

I have upped my weights in everything but got rid of squats and deads. I will do them once a week at home with a barbell as opposed to doing them with dumbbells at the gym. I have added some simple cardio into the mix in the form of stationary bike and oliptical trainer. Nothing much has changed I just havent put it in my training log as have been really busy at work.

The future holds the same as the past but heavier weight and more intense cardio (15min sessions with as much resistance as possible as fast as possible).

Diet went to shit. I am looking to get that going again from monday.

it may be better to work on body weight pull up's to build up strength to lit your own body weight. If you can't do a single one...that's fine, work with that. If you can do 4 then you bomb out, work around 2-3 reps per set. Yeah ?

tonyharrison · 30-11-2009, 11:13 AM

You could do a little jump up to the bar to get a little momentum to do the pullup. You only jump just enough to let you do the rep to maximise the target muscle's workload. You can also swing ur legs ( i think its called kipping) to help you if u can't do them strict and gradually improve ur form as u get stronger

Does your gym have an assisted chin up machine? Try doing proper chin ups (as many as you can) and super set them with a set of 75% bodyweight chins to get your strength up to match your bodyweight.
