I've been frequenting my school gym for some time now. As some know, I recently started doing weights. There was some dude from my Computer Science class that was always there when I was. I saw him down in the locker room two days ago and we agreed to workout together. This dude bigger than me (muscle) so I figured it'd be great as I would probably learn something.
Yesterday was the first day we worked out together. We agreed to do abdominals followed by some cardio. For his cardio, he does stairs (I usually do treadmill) so I figured I'd try that out. We started with two abdominal exercises using weights. These were only "warm-up" (I thought they were pretty damn tough!). Then we went to work our abdominals like crazy with this Ab Ripper X he put me onto:

For those of you not familiar with this, please watch and give it a shot. This is pretty amazing. It was rather difficult for me and I was nowhere close to completing all 25 reps for all exercises. These exercises kicked my ass and I really recommend it to anybody exercising frequently.
Afterwards, we did the stair climber. Holy shit, possibly the most I've ever sweat. That machine is a Godsend. The dude I workout with does thirty minutes of the stair climber. This is most likely what I will be doing when I workout with him. I've never been more tired in my life than after this workout.
A few months working out with this dude will be really good.
Quick question for all Davens and Jyms: What are good pre-workout meals/drinks/supplements/etc.? What does my body need? And post-workout? Thanks guys.
