I was wondering how its possible to keep track of your progress.
Say for example on a Chest day you do Incline BB press and you record your sets and reps
the following week you replace that exercises for lets say a DB press
from what ive read, you shouldnt train the exact same way as the recent week
maybe tweak the rest periods, tempo???? what would you suggest??
Biceps are the least muscle part that grow , theyre hard to grow
I dont know what im doing wrong
any opinios??

Re: How do you keep track of your progress
the wonders of an actual program and a training diary...
i'aid this all along with "variety" workouts where people mix it up each week...you can't measure anything so there is no prgress, more of a hit and hope situation.
your body gets about 6 looks at each workout so those that say change exercises every week or whatecer are idiots...after 6 weeks you don;t even need to change exercises as the body adapts to the rep range first so you could keep an exercise for months on end so long as you keep lifting heavier as you go and you change the reps...
deadlifts and squats have a 5 year life span meaning you should be able to make some progress in all that time without really needing to cycle them at all
fir biceps top get stronger/bigger, you need to get stronger and bigger so if you haven't gotten bigger or stronger since the last time your arms grew, there's your answer right there

Re: How do you keep track of your progress
Im still quite skeptical about diet calories
maintenance calories are around 2,400
plus the 500+ rounded to 3,000 calories
I really dont know how people cycle calories or whatever u wanna call it but
do I stay at 3000 calories throughout whole weight gain phase
or do u need to keep adding calories
ex: 2nd week :3000 cals
4th week: 3300 cals
6th week 3600
8th week 4000 cals
after weeks do i cycle back to 3000 and gradually increase calorie intake?

Re: How do you keep track of your progress
get to 300 and if you don't gain wt, increase them by 250 and go again until you do
