Is ''resting'' that important?

I currently do 6 sets of weights in the morning, 6 sets of situps, 6 sets of pushups, and then I do the same in the evening... is this efficient?
 
Yes, it is. What were you refering to when you mentioned resting? Do you mean time between exercise sessions or exercises?
The calisthenics exercises you are doing can be done all throughout the day with great results. I personally do push ups and pull ups every hour through the day. I built a pull up bar at work to help. Then I do my lifting and cardio at night.
 
im new here

im new here... yo i can rep 210 twice is that a good amount of weight on a bench press... i can do 5 sets of 17 reps with 150 pounds..... but on the incline i can do 150 pounds 27 reps.... why is the incline easier.....

for my size im doing alot of weight
i weigh 160 and im 5''7 so im strong cuz thats a hell of alot of weight for my size
 
Sounds like you have a questionable routine. With the rep set scheme you are on you will be on a short road to injury. 27 reps?? I can't think of any press that I would do 27 reps on. You are only fatiguing your supporting muscle groups, which help to stabilize joints. After that happens, if you try a heavy weight with poor form, you can mess yourself up easily. And tendon/joint damage take an eternity to heal.
Get a good book on training principals and get on a real program.
 
i can curl 60 pounds max one armed and can rep 50 pounds curling 6 times each arm... i can max out on a bench at 210 ... rep 185 8 times ... i can do 18 chin ups .... and 15 pull ups ...all the way down all the way up no half way ****...i can do 75 push ups strait...alot of sit ups ( i dont count i just stop when it burns)....and i do alot of wieght on machines that do all kinds of work outs....i been lifting for three months ... i gained 25 pounds in muscles so far ( thanks to protein shakes and creatine) in just three months... im 5''7 and a half and way 163 pounds... im 16.....

do u think im doing ok... good .... realy good .. or amazing ?
 
Those stats are very good but why do you care so much about what other people think of you. Don't expect to get loads of praise coming onto a board and flaunting stats. As for rest: its vital. You could lift heavy twice per day so long as you're only doing one muscle group with the six sets and you're not hitting that same muscle group for a few days after. Otherwise, you'll be overtraining.
 
yea but those arent just stats there basicly what i stated at and im short but im ripped .. and i dont even have to work out and i'd still be doing that amount ... physically im better than like a ton of popele naturaly...like poepl can hit that much after a few years of training im hitting that right off the batt and its not like im some 6''7 230 pound guy im 5''7 and a half and i weigh about 160 .........

dont worry. if you deserve praise, people will let you know.

one other thing i'd like to add: fitness and training isnt about "deserving praise." do it for yourself, not anyone else. do it because you like to do it and it makes you feel good about yourself. dont worry about what others think.

Well Ive seen people do monster amounts of weight. There was a guy down my gym for a few weeks who would lift loads of weight with really dodgy form. Now he's not there, probably in traction by now!
 
I don't think that natural ability deserves any praise. Everyone has something going for them. Not getting enough attention are we ??
I praise the people who come here to learn or help out others. I praise dedication to a healthy lifestyle. Overcoming laziness. Defeating boredom. Athletes striving for that extra edge....striving for excellence. I praise bodybuilders for the constant dedication to training and self control.
Lifting heavy and doing it the wrong way is not something I value in others.

.....or maybe I'm just in a bad mood :cool:
