I find the main muscle groups that are used holding your marker are your trap's, bi's, and shoulders. If you want to build on strength, not size, do more reps on a lower weight i.e. 3 sets of 15 reps with 10k as opposed to 6 sets of 6 reps with 20k.

Could someone explain a suicide run please?
start at a baseline.

run five metres, touch the floor return to baseline.

from baseline run ten metres, touch ground return to baseline.

and so on and so forth up to thirty or forty metres i think.

Then you start all over again. I believe one suicide is five metres, from when i did it.

Its painful.

feel the burn!

running's got to be the best for raising fitness levels i reckon (or cycling if you prefer), for strength you could do push ups, squats, squat thrusts, sit ups, loads of stuff using your own body as weight. also if you want strength but not size try using light easy weights but loads of repetitions. there is lots of types training you can do which will all work but pick something you enjoy doing. whatever you do it's better than nothing! good luck dude no pain no gain:D :D

Right just to sum up what I have been doing;

As many sit ups as I can... need to get rid of the beer :rolleyes: everyday
3 x 10 press upseveryday

And I have now started BMXing again, cycling about and doing the odd few tricks ;) everyday most likely - riding to and from work

If that doesn't make me fit I don't know what will!
