how to work out? ?
I was wondering if u all could help me out here, cuz i got somewhat of a dilemma. well i've been trying to work out 2 times a week for about a month or two (maybe more..), and i'm not sure if i'm doing my exercises right or not.
first of, to brief u on what kind of work out i do. well cuz i dont go to the gym cuz of financial reasons, i simply work out at home. however, i dont have a barbell cuz i can't afford one at the moment. the exercises i do, however, are: pushups, chin ups, dunno what u call this one, but its like a triceps excercise i do, facing the opposite direction of an elevated thing, i use a really low table, and dip. then i do the bench press on one of those home gym i got, then i work my legs doing leg curls, or whatever they're called, n then i've recently started to do hindu squats. then i finish it all off with sit ups.
now to my question. i'm not sure how fast i should go when i do these exercies. well on the chin ups, pushups, and the triceps dip thingy i think i should go pretty fast. on the bench press though, n for the leg curl, i also do them pretty fast, but i think maybe i should do them slower. do u get more buffed if u do them slower, opposed to developing explosive strengh if u do them fast??
and for the situps, i've heard something about doing them slow as well, and also adding a supplementary weight to increase the resistance. now what would be the benefits of doing this?
if someone could help me out, i'd really appreciate it. n if u got any suggestions on any other exercices i could do, plz let me know.
