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.
Post your routine so I can look at it
as I'm studying A Level Physical Education exercise helps me with remember certain muscle types and uses!

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

It's always good to mix it up of course. :p It just depends on how you feel that day imo

Thered no such thing as 'toning' your body. You cannot 'tone' your muscles since they just grow in size, not definition. You have to lose the fat covering the muscle to see the true cuts and striations of the muscle. As to your routine, i dont know what youre doing, such as crossfit, hypertrophy, strength, or strongman. Each of those all have different exercises, reps, sets, routines and etc. You should be more specific with your routine and if you do drop sets or super sets and etc. Building muscle and burning fat is 90% diet, 9% proper weight training and 1% sleep. I spend countless hours watching and reading about this stuff and i know a lot about it since i want to be a physical therapist for my career, hopefully for professional athletes such as MLB Baseball players.

% is a little off there actually lol sleep is a lot more important than you think. I suggest you research about sleep and how it helps. Without sleep, you do not grow/recover and it will affect "gains" lmao. While diet is the highest factor weight training and sleep are also very important.
