im pretty sore. i want to get bigger deltoids because mine are really bony.
now, if i continue the workout after 3-4 weeks the weights will be too light for me, and i will need more weight.

heres where im havin trouble...should i get the perfect push up (i heard this thing works, and does good on chest and triceps, sometimes shoulders)

OR should i save up for the barbell with more plates??

my vote is barbell with plates, hands down, no questions.

want to make the push-up harder, put your feet on a step or couple of books, you're in school so should be able to find a couple of these!

chin up bar would be awesome for you as well. when you can do ten on first set of 3 sets to failure you start adding weight. Great upper body workout.

Sorry to say, the workout from Flow is a no-go. Search your body as a barbell and waterbury method for excellent workouts you can do. If it calls for barbell do a dumbbell variation!

Cheers

- if your current wt plates are more then enough for you then i'd get a barbell...ig it isn't or you've almost outgrown them then get some more plates
- program is shit out of your 32 exercises, 23 of them are worthless
- why sets of 20 for legs and not 6 like you do for the others??/
- bigger delts? deadlift 1.5 x your bodyweight and do the ehaviest db push presses you can do...raises are terrible
- soreness is great but doesnt ensure your getting bigger'or stronger
- ah yes, definately get more wt plates then
- perfect push up?? ridiculous...there are easily 10 push up variatiions on the floor that are better than that thing
