Just started on the GVT routine...

Hey guys,

haven't posted on here for ages, but have been reading a bit, and glad I did.

I hadn't been to the gym for about a month recently because I have been so busy at work. So when I got a chance to get back into it, I was shocked at how stale I felt. Maybe my head hadn't cleared from all the work I was doing. But working out sucked.

I'm off to the UK for a few years in just over a month and not sure how much time I will have to hit the gym once I get over there and look for a job so wanted to really make the most of the next 6 weeks.

So anyway, I started reading some of your posts about GVT, investigated it a bit and after realising it would really really hurt, decided to give it a go.

Wednesday I did chest and back - bench press, chins, bent over row, pec deck. Suffice to say close grip chins were a killer. Although doing close grip made me think this exercise would hit my bi's more than back. But what they hey I went with it. Chest isn't nearly as sore as back. Loved doing the bent over rows.

Yesterday I did dips then hammer curls and only had time to do those as I was suppose to be cooking dinner. Stink one! I would have done shoulders after those. Those sets didn't really burn me out. I definitely need a weighted belt. But I thought incline hammer curls would hit me today. But nothing so far.

Today I'll do legs and abs. Pretty sure I'll be walking funny for the next few days.

This routine has allowed me to not over think what I'm doing. All exercices are basic, light in weight, but require great technique. Already I think it is helping me get out of the funk I was in and like I've said, I know it will hurt but I'm looking forward to getting in there and doing it.

So thanks for the info guys.
