Hey guys
Since it's holidays, I've been gyming almost everyday? Is this bad for my body? During uni I usually gym on alternate days so around 3-4 days a week, should I maintain this throughout the year? I'm trying to gain more muscle on mainly my upper body but also making my muscles more cut (I don't want big and flabby).
I almost never do legs at gym and only do 10 min run and 10 min cycle. I've tried squats before but they hurt my neck somehow. I read somewhere that to get a built upper body you need to do lower body build up legs, quads etc so how would you achieve that without squats?
Anyone have any exercises for strengthening the back and at low risk so I don't damage it whilst I'm doing the exercise?
Currently at the gym I usually just do:
- Dumbell Curls
- Barbell '21s' Curl
- Dumbell Chest Press
- Dumbell Shoulder Press
- Tricep pulldowns
- Occasional benching (only when I go with friends)
- Running+Cycling
- Ab Machine (How would I get more defined abs?)
- Occasionally dumbell shoulder raises
What do you guys think? What exercises should I cut out or add?
What are you guys' workout routines for guys.
Also do protein shakes after workout actually help your body? If so how do they?
Finally do dumbell curls give you back problems? Because lately I've been having a few niggles near my lower back/buttock.
Thanks guys.
