I was trying to improve my deadlift form. I didn't read any guides or anything, just guessing. I thought it would be a good idea to pull my shoulder blades back, keep the upper back tight.

This detaches the posterior deltoid from the scapula.

Each routine depends on a lot of variables, such as age, experience, weight, what your looking for....everything. If you want to get tone you need to lose weight, not so much change a exercise routine. Try eating about 500 calories less a day than what your daily recommended caloric intake is. You can find that by going to google and typing in something like daily caloric intake per weight. Also try doing some light cardio 4-5 times a week, for about 30-45 minutes.

Digggg this.

Joined virgin active health club - shameless plug here... it is incredible.
A few dollars extra (compared to other fitness first etc in the city) ... around the corner from work @ $28 p/wk .

The place has sauna, spa, pool, fuckloads of rooms, hot yoga, meditation, MMA, capoeira, rock climbing walls, resistance hanging off roof equipment, stuff I don't even know what the fuck it is yet. It feels like a 5 star resort. It has nap pods so i can just sleep there at lunch time. It's a permanent holiday destination, plenty free weights too. Newest everything equipment - and a cafe where YOU CAN BUY HEALTHY FOOD THAT DOESN'T SKIMP ON MEAT AND PROTEIN.

Also I now have a little burger maker in front of my computer.
Can make a kangaroo burger in 5 minutes. Has separate facilities for meat and toast.
Fuck,
Everything is lego, and coming together accordingly.

I'm thinking of going to a new gym than the one I'm currently at. It only has 2 1.25kg plates. In the entire gym. I've seen them once and the rest of the time, they've disappeared (spent 15 minutes searching for them). Also all of the meatheads that work out there rarely put their weights back on racks. Fucking plates all over the shop. Also they have literally no areas designated for lifting things dead from the ground, so I have to move shit around in order to do deadlifts or pendlay rows because I refuse to not do them for full ROM.

However, the staff are good and the rest of the stuff is pretty great especially since it's 24 hours most weekdays.

Yeah man I have no idea if the benches/racks are free because there are still barbells with plates on them.

I need to post a pic of the power racks. They have what seem to be safety bars a few inches off the ground, but they're used to hold a barbell so people can deadlift off it, as opposed to off the ground. So there are heaps of guys that are doing deadlifts with 2/3 ROM.

ok niggas i work in a gym and don't really like doing weights when the gym is open because my gym is the biggest steroid dealing gym in newcastle and it's a big sausage fest and the guys are your stereotypical gym jerks and ceebs

so trying to gain strength, do a kind of weights-cardio thing with all my supersetting, and i'm getting back on track with diet.

I train after I close the gym. this also works out better in terms of free equipment and music is all up to me

monday: spin
tuesday: body pump and yoga
wednesday: train after I close up the gym: Legs, Chest, Shoulders
- squats (8-10) sset with pushups until failure 3 times
- walking lunges (10 each side) sset with incline db press 3 times
- stiff leg deadlift sset with rear delt raises 3 times
- squats (lighter weight, more reps and faster rhythm) sset with lateral raises and shoulder press 3 times

thursday interval sprints
friday intervals or rest or yoga
saturday spin
Sunday: train after I close up at 6 Back, arms

Deadlifts sset triset with bicep curls and tricep push downs 3 x (finish on deadlifts so 4 sets of dlifts)
pull ups triset with barbell 21s superset and dips (feet up on bench, dropset to floor) 3 times
bent over row (under hand grip), tricep kickbacks

yep idk it's been a while since I've really done any lifting i know stuff i just can't be bothered to try and remember it haha

You get a really good upper body work out from rock climbing. I think i'm going to get a very light six pack soon :p I have the lines forming on my stomach, I feel fit even though I have an extremely unhealthy diet.
