datguy Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Surgery sucks. I'm supposed to put as little force on my core muscles due to a surgery...for two weeks. That's six training sessions I'm missing. “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
DWx Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 That sucks. Hope you get back to form and back to training soon "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius
Ueshirokarate Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Hey that is too bad. Best you can do is use the gift of time off for other things. Perhaps you can spend time doing visulization training or something else that will move you forward in other ways. Good luck and don't sweat it, you can come back stronger than ever. Some take years off and do so. Matsubayashi RyuCMMACC (Certified Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Coach)
datguy Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks! Also thanks for the idea...I hadn't even thought of that. “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash.

datguy Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Just thought I'd ask a question here rather than posting another thread. Okay, so I have a really great core (abs and everything) but no matter what I do, I just cant seem to build my arms. I'm very limited when it comes to weight equipment. I have two 15lb dumbbells and a barbell with 25lbs on each side of the bar. Anybody have any ideas for a workout routine which could help produce results? “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water.

JusticeZero Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Pushups; various hand positions, slowly, pause halfway down or elevate your feet if they are starting to feel easy, and it doesn't count unless your chest touches the floor.Handstands; with proper posture, spine straight, tailbone tucked appropriately and so on. Sink into it a bit. That might have more effects on your shoulders and back, but it gets the arms too.Gripping; open your hand ALL THE WAY out flat. Now make a fist. That's one. Open your hand all the way again. Repeat; do 200 as fast as you can with both hands. Weightlifting: Tires, small boulders, garbage cans, buckets full of stuff, cars (pushing), furniture, small children, not so small children, girl/boyfriends, craft projects made out of concrete..

Anybody have any ideas for a workout routine which could help produce results?If I was coaching you and building up your arms was your goal, the first two things I would want to know is how is your diet and what kind of lifting program you had. It is pretty much impossible to build up muscle anywhere on your body if you are not running a calorie surplus and eating enough protein. It also will not happen if you aren't increasing the amount of weight you are lifting. Both diet and progressive overload are critical.

Jay Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 For arm size which appears to be what you are after work the triceps heavily all versions of pushups will help. Triceps contribute about 2/3 of our arm size. As always eat lots for calories. The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
