    Rate my daily routine?

    Okay, I'll first tell you about my daily routine. [Weekdays]
    • Wake up, grab a drink.
    • 6AM - Jog for 30 minutes.
    • Back to sleep for a few hours.
    • Wake up (Usually) around 9/10AM.
    • 60 Crunches, Straight Leg lifts, 50 push ups.
    • Go about my day, I eat healthy and nutritious. A lot of all natural products.
    • 10PM: 20lb Bicep Reverse Curl Warm up, 55lb dumbbell heavy pump - 30 Reps, Forearm Curl, 50 Push ups.
    • Either Chest/ab exorcises depending on the day.
    • Work 12AM - 3AM
    • Rinse & Repeat


    Okay, now that is [roughly] my typical Weekday routine. I'm a solid 6', 221lbs. Added with all of that, I'd like to ask a question. Typical forearm curls have been good for me in the past, but I'd like to increase my size/solidity more so than I already have. At home, I've got about 380lbs, a bench, preacher curl, heavy bag and pull-up bar available. Do any of you have any odd workouts to increase forearm strength?

    Forearms you're looking at doing wrist curls mainly:

    Sit and grasp a cable bar with a narrow to shoulder width underhand grip. Rest forearms on thighs with wrists just beyond knees. Allow the cable bar to roll out of the palms down to the fingers. Grip cable bar back up and flex wrists. Lower and repeat

    Or you can do them over a bench/table or whatever:

    Place a barbell beside a flat bench and the kneel on the other side of the bench. Hold the bar palms down with your hands about 16 inches apart. Place your forearms flat on the bench and put the back of your wrists on the edge of the bench. Lower bar as far as possible, then curl bar up as high as possible. Do not move your forearms! Can also be done with two dumbbells.


    Also, about your routine, I'm no expert, but working the same muscle everyday (your biceps) hinders growth/strength development. You should probably only work body parts once or twice a week. Maybe throw in more back + tricep (eg skullcrushers) work into your routine as well.

    Peace.

        There's no boxing in this regime?

        If you're going for fitness, conditioning, bulking or strength building then your regime is pretty poor to be honest.

          Yeah, my bicep workout is really just to tone. Not to sound like an *******, but I usually take the 55lbs with no problem and have no grip problems after wards. I haven't done Skullcrushers since Highschool football, thanks for the reminder. I'll try it out tonight.

          Sorry I forgot to add that my weekends are mostly a night out with some friends/playing some Gears of War, [lol I'm a Super Mega Nerd on the inside.] Or training at my local boxing gym on a heavy bag/speed bag. I ordered an HD camera so I can post some videos on here for you guys. I want to find some sparring partners, but I have been unlucky so far. Either way, I can't get enough of the Heavy bag, I love hitting **** and making a lot of noise. I'm improving on the Speed bag as well.

          I haven't had any amateur boxing bouts, watching the people who have done it at the gym, I really don't see anything that I couldn't do. But I know that it is easier said than done, I'd really like to try it some day. I'm only 19, but I've been in quite a few fights. I'm a bouncer/doorman at a club, hence my odd job hours.

            Pull-ups good all round excercise that work the fores, I do with hanging on to ledge (a large square wooden beam) so I cant wrap my fingers around a bar (which is easier) this will help grip and work fores. Also dead lifts, and shrugs (trap) exercises with heavy weights will hit the fores hard,

              Here is my routine.


              6.30 Woke up, got out of bed
              Dragged a comb across my head
              Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
              And looking up, i noticed i was late
              Found my coat and grabbed my hat
              Made the bus in seconds flat
              Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
              Somebody spoke and i went into a dream
              Ah

                I feel like a real snobby ***** on this forum sometimes. I certainly don't claim to be a good boxer, I train hard but I haven't been doing it long enough to honestly criticize... but the number of guys who compare boxing to street fighting and don't respect the time and the patience and skill required to be good, or to even have a decent amature fight is disturbing.

                So with that being said, come round to my gym, I'll spar you based on your ignorance.

                  1.) I never compared anything to street fighting. Boxing is completely different.
                  2.) It's wrong to believe that I could become an amateur boxer? I didn't know believing in yourself was fodder for criticism.
                  3.) You accuse me of ignorance, yet you make blind assumptions about somebody you don't even know? Step off.
