Well I just join 24 hr fitness as fate would have it. We got a call from a rising star sales assistant offering our old membership payments about 1 year later. Nice timing because I’m ready to step up and work on the total package. My "free weight" program was lacking a frequent bench press(no bench). Push ups and dumbbell flies worked my chest. My progressions in weight, Reps, Sets, and rest-times are making me feel like something good is happening inside the body. Dead lifts are planed when I hit 100 pounds on the Barbell curl and press. Picking the bar up is feeling good and the weight feels spread out through the body and not the arms. The valuable video and critiquing is what makes me confident I’m learning correct form on all exercises. I look forward to hitting plateau(s) that will be progress for me. I’m still learning about what to do next. I think I’ll be good for a while.

Thanks to those who give Reps and make the Newcomers feel more than welcome. Someday soon I will see my weight gains and size improve to a respectable level…I want results, I eat for results, I visualize results, I can taste results.

Workout Tracker is one of the reasons I joined BB.com and Body Space. It’s a calendar that you can record your routine. I find it a bonus to look back and see what workout if varied felt good. Or like my 3rd workout logged was not enough because I was not sore on the targeted muscle group. However I did feel it on inside hips(groin) and lower back. So now I can decide to bump the weight and check my form for improvement.

My stance with free weights "was" shoulder width. I think I "try" my stance with standing barbell curl and standing overhead press with alternating right forward stance on First Max Out Set. Then switch to left forward stance, ect. I realized how much Non-Targeted muscles do get a workout on Compound Exercise. Any suggestion for improvement is why I’m here!
