about how long till i see results?

[Sinar]

hey, I've been doing my workout for a week now and i was wanting to know about how long do you think it will take till i see some good results? i know it only being a week into it i won't really see anything so i'm not disguraged but i would still like to know about how much longer and if this is a good work out. this is my stats
15 year old male 170 lb.
my routine is

-100 bench press ( i have the bar set to weight of 55. i do 15 wide grip and then with not stopping 15 close grip. min break. 20 wide grip. min break. 20 close grip. min break. 15 wide. break. 15 close.
- 30 mins on the bike
-3 sets of 10 reps with each arm for curling ( about 25 pounds. 10 right arm, 10 left arm 10 right 10 left....get it?)
-2 sets of 10 reps doing hammer (new exersize i learned. put a hand towle through the holes in you weights and grab it and life up and down like a hammer. the weight is 20 lbs. great forarm workout)
-50 bench press (same as above but with 15 wide, 15 close, 10 wide, 10 close)
-abs (yesterday i started doing 8 min abs. before that i was just doing regular crunches and the lift crunches for your lower stomache)

then to give my chest and arms a rest, the next day i do

-30 min on bike
-lifts on the bench (lay on bench and use the leg attachment. weight is 40 i believe. 20 front, flip over, 20 back. go until legs tired)
-calf rises. 50
- squats. 50 with 40 lbs
i think thats it

i do this everday a week, switching back and forth. i'm starting t see results on my arms already but not any in my stomache. thanks for any info and for any critiquing (wow...i'm a bad speller...) sorry for so much typing.

One week and you're worrying about dramatic results?
Expect some real changes within 6 months or so of hard training.
You didnt really say what your training goals are either.

Your routine doesnt look that balanced, a few things you might want to consider...
- Use compound multi joint excercises where possible (bench, rows, squats, deadlifts, chinups, military press)
- Keep your physique balanced. If you bench five sets then row for five sets at some point in your training week. Dont neglect lower body, squat and deadlift. You dont want to turn into a superhero (big chest, no legs or back)
- Diet is key. If you are trying to gain muscle you will need to eat big. You should be shooting for five or six meals over the course of the day.

Also, read the training methods sticky thread at the top for more info.

Have fun, and keep training.

What are your training goals? Are you aiming for fit, being more cut, putting on size???

If you are trying to put on any kind of size...you are doing waaaay too many reps for a given exercise. Doing anything more than say 12 reps IMO is couterproductive to putting on size. Simply put...if you can do 12reps in a given exercise...you need to UP the weight.

Also, I know you are just starting off...but I feel your routine is very unorganized. First off, training every day of the week is a huge no no. Your muscles only grow when you are resting...if you are not resting, they are barely going to grow.

Also, what are you doing for your back?? If you want bigger and powerfull arms...working out your back is KEY. Start doing Bent-Over Rows...your arms will love you in the end...as long as you take the necessary rest periods between workouts.

I wish someone would have told me how important it was to work out back when I first started training.

what are bent over rows? o yea, my training goals are to mainly get cut. once i get cut then i'll work on size. and like i said, i know i'm not gonig to see big results soon but i was wanting to know so i could have something to look forward to. as a side note, i changed my benching a little tonight. i'm now doing 50 reps of 85 pounds

A good website to look for routines and what exercises are what:

Just a side note...I have been working out for 10 years, most have been on/off. For the last 2 years I have gotten into it seriously...and just now, I am "happy" with the way I look. Keep a log of all your workouts, every couple months look back and reflect on what you have accomplished...not accomplished. Change routine to accomodate what you want done...keep that up, and you will find body building an awesome sport.

that was raw lol

my advice is to take a look at the training sticky above..take a look at routines like 5x5 hst,DC etc...im not sure what your goals are but whatever they are you will not obtain them in a week a month or even a few..but what you can do is set some short term and long term goals..do you want to bench 315 do youi want to add 10 lbs of muscle this year? etc

If you take Cell-Tech you will be 10.000% stronger in 10 days while gaining 785% in LBM and losing 250% of fat

Otherwise it's more like years

I would stick to the basics and not train more than 3 days a week and eat like crazy. At 15 years old your test levels should be very high so use it to your advantage and remember Rome wasnt built in a day, be patient!
