Just a quick question for the community




Do any members of ngu do bodybuilding? Or general toning?



Heres what I do:

Upper Body
One arm dumbbell Rows (10 Reps)
Ordinary push ups (15 reps)
Standing Dumbbell press (10 reps)
Dumbbell Curls (10 reps)
Tricep Extenstions (10 reps)
Shurgs (20 reps)

I do 4 sets of this and have a 15 second rest period inbetween every other practice.
i life 10kg for all of these.

Where's leg day? lol. Try increase the weight gradually. To build muscle, you go heavy, low reps.

Increase the weight not the reps. And leg day is important. You need a balanced workout or you'll be severely lacking in legs. And remember if you want to build muscle or lose weight, diet is #1.

I used to but stopped after a while for no real reason. I want to get back into it however.
I'm friends with a few people who are body builders and take it very seriously!

Are we talking strength or size? Because as someone who bodybuilds I usually do 8-12 reps. I do need to do some one rep maxes and shit soon and work on strength. But I also need to work on muscular endurance since that seems to be the theme of the Marines. Them feels

Do you do all these exercises in 1 day? If so, how many days per week?

I have a chest/triceps day, back/biceps day and leg day.

Chest = Flat Benchpress, Incline Dumbbell Benchpress and chest flyes
Triceps= Rope Pull Downs, Lying Tricep Extension, Tricep Kickbacks

Back = Pullups, Lat Pulldowns, Dumbbell rows, Shrugs (I dont do deadlift cause I fucked my back up doing bad form 2 years ago :p )
Biceps = Preacher Curls, Hammer Curls and Bicep Curls

Legs = Squats, Leg Extenstions, Leg Curls, Dumbbell Standing Calf Raises and lunges.

I take 1 minute to 90 seconds rest between sets, I do 2 warm up sets per exercise, 4-5 normals sets. I do 8-12 reps per set.

DONT FORGET ABOUT YOUR DIET
