Alright, Im 17 years old and i like to think i know a little bit about BB. But let me know what you think of the routine. I do sets of 4 with 8 reps for everything. (going for mass at the moment) Day 1 Legs: Abs: (i have pretty good definition so i'm going for massive abs) Day 2 Chest: Back: Day 3: Shoulders: Biceps: triceps: Forearms: wrist curls Day 4: Rest Then i do the cyle over again. Thanks for your time. [This message has been edited by FlexMachine (edited May 21, 2000).] IP: Logged |

Not bad - just a few things wrong in my opinion. Try doing 2 days on 1 off. Try this split. Mon- shoulders/bi/f/arms/abs Remember - the key to getting big is to eat 7-8 meals a day (1gram of protein per llb of body weight). IP: Logged |

If you will follow your program, you will overtrain soon. Remember: day - work, next day (at least) - rest. Forget about that stupid splits. If you wanna get BIG do something like this: mon 1.squat wed 1.overhead press fri 1.squat (80% of mon weight) (c)McRobert Do 5 sets * 5 reps of each exercise except crunches. First 2 sets of each exercise are warming-up and other 3 - hard work. By the way you must increase weight of your barbells and dumbbells week to week so, that first week of your 12 weeks training cycle would be "light" and from 6th week your drills would be hard.

If you are looking for build and strenght i wouldnt go that way man. The routine ive posted below is the one i use. now im 21 years old, 6'2 and 233pounds. Its a great kick ass program, but i dont know for how long you have been training. i also have a couple of beginner programs if you wanna hear em.. I also would advice you to pick up some books and starte reading, the best way to building a powerfull body is to get information.
day2: day3: day4: day5: dag6: Right now im dieting down, that means half an hour cardo at 05.00 AM every morning ------------------ http://home.sol.no/~mrmuscle/ IP: Logged |

Ok whose advice do i take. Everything i've read said to train each muscle group twice a week. And Mr.Muscle your routine is even more hardcore than mine, and you don't have any trouble with overtraining? So is my routine that i'm doing now too extreme or not? IP: Logged |

there is no such thing as overtraining. not if you follow a good diet, sleep when u are supposed to sleep. The guys who claim they are overtrained are ususally the guys who are out all night partying and drinking. your body wont have time to rest then.

I'm glad to hear that. I didn't think i was overtraining. Right now i've just been eating a tonne of protien. I'm not too worried about putting on fat because it doesn't seem to matter what i eat i don't seem to lose any definition. So what kind of diet would you recommend? And do you do for cardio? I've never done any because i thought i'd risk losing mass. IP: Logged |
