decent forearm resistance excercises?
Never bothered with forearm excercises myself.
Forearms get plenty of work when you're lifting other things, particularly back excercises where you're having to 'hang on'.
If you use lifting straps it ruins this affect obviously.
As long as you're lifting pretty heavy weights for your back excercises and not using straps there's no point whatsoever in specifically targetting forearms.

Training week over.
Didn't really feel like it today because of a bit of a cold but I just went anyway to finish my 4 sessions.
Not sure about tomorrow and arm training. Depends how I feel really.
I'm starting to quite enjoy it now to the point where I think I may stick it out.
Give it another couple of weeks to find out how strong I feel and I may start to set a few goals to aim for.
One thing's for sure I haven't ached anywhere near as much this week as last week so the recovery is improving.
I'm not sure what sort of target to set. Probably just something simple like beating Cos' best ever at any particular excercise. I think he said he was quite a good squatter. Might have a go at that for fun.

Prior to the last 18 months my only weight training was high rep and low weights. I now train with heavier weights a lot more regulalry and although I regularly increase my weights, vary my exercises, and make sure I work hard in the gym I recover from my sessions a lot more quickly than I used to. I don't often feel what I refer to as the good pain for a day or two after a session like I used to. Is this a good sign or should I be looking at changing how I train?
I normally do 3 one hour weights sessions a week, session one - back, tricep, shoulders, session two - chest, biceps, session three full upper body session.
I don't really have scope to add in any extra weights sessions as I try to get 4 or 5 cardio sessions in each week as well.

Hahaha - I never squatted for very long but I'd definitely say that it's the one muscle group where I have a have a chance to be doing more than you because your frame means you will be lifting more than me on pretty much everything soon
I was doing about 300kg on the hack squat machine and 3 plates (and a 10 i think) on either side of the Olympic bar for standing squats.
I don't envisage myself training legs until at least April / May time when I've lost the weight I want to lose. Legs need too much recovery time and I need to be doing a lot of cardio etc.

When you say full upper body session, what does that involve?
I'd suggest doing shoulders, back and chest each on a different training day each.
I think it's not necessarily too much of a bad sign that you don't feel the pain you once used to as your muscles are now a lot more used to training through having done it for so long but keep trying to mix it up so your muscles never get too comfortable.
Do pyramids, have a week where you just powerlift etc.

The full upper body session hits the chest, back, biceps, triceps, and shoulders. For this session I normally do supersets throughout and often use pyramids or dropsets. I don't usually go too heavy for this session and vary it week to week. It's also a bit of a cardio session as it does get the heart pumping and I do get a good sweat up. I use this session just to keep the muscles ticking over as each body part is only getting one good session a week.
I don't do legs at all but as I do 4 spin classes a week I feel my legs are worked sufficiently.
I do try to vary my sessions and see a PT once a fortnight but when it comes to weight training I think it may be a mental thing that if it doesn't hurt I don't feel I've done enough or training right. It's probably just because it's an area of training I lack some experience in.

One good session per week is more than enough for each body part. Doing any more is over training.
You'd be much better off using that extra session to split your shoulder and back training to allow you to work each more effectively in your alloted time.
Spinning is not leg training btw. Get on that squat rack!!

Well I may be about to face my first major hurdle in the training prop.
I'm currently sat at home with a stinking cold that I have a feeling won't be gone for tomorrow.
It started Friday, got worse yesterday and is as bad again today.
I've been pumping myself full of day nurse / night nurse in an effort to shift it but to no avail so far.
I've considered skipping tomorrow and hoping I'm better for Tuesday. I can't see this being the case to be honest so pretty pointless.
This leaves me having to train with a cold.
Now physically I don't think this is a major problem. Yes I'll be below par but I'll still be able to do a bit.
The dilemma is that I risk passing on my nasty germs to other patrons of the gym that I attend.
I've thrown this dilemma around in my head for ages and decided that seeing as 95% of the gym users are students I'll just go and let them all get colds as well.
So it's back to the gym tomorrow for chest training. Not sure how it's going to go but I'll let you know on here.

Going to give this a try this week.
I can't really hit the squat rack just now as I'm awaiting a hip op even though I'm a youthful 38!! Only leg training I can do is on some of the technogym machines, may give it a go with my shoulder session.
My plan for this week unless work commitments change is Monday rest day, Tuesday spin, Wednesday chest and bicep, Thursday back and tricep, Friday Spin, Saturday spin, Sunday spin and shoulders/legs session.
