The soy was just a joke...

How about you post up your routine for lifting and let us tweak it a bit... Help you w/ diet and I bet in 8 wks you pack on some muscle big time...

Ok, hopefully other will chime in here and between all of us you will get a workout that makes sense..

i myslef wouldn't do sholders the same day as chest. Reason being, is that your triceps will be fairly burnt out from all the pressing and will hinder many of your shoulder work..

Here's what my wk looks like..

Mon: AM - Shoulders and Traps -PM teach MMA Classes
Tues. AM - Chest & Bicep
Wed. AM - Core & Deads -PM teach Class
Thurs. AM - Legs
Fri. Back and Tricep

For large muscles (chest, back, quads, shoulders) I go 4 sets of 10 reps max. If I can do ten on my last set I add weight the next tims.
For small muscles (bi, tri, calves, etc) I do 3 sets w/ 4 reps of 10. again adding weight if I can do 10 reps on last set.

I used to do 6-8 reps, but I found for myself that I got better results going to 10.. everyone is different.

Food Looks like this:
6:30am Protien Shake and Oats
8:30 Protien shake and snack
9:30 Chicken or Tuna
11:00 Protien shake
1:00pm Lunch - Chicken etc.
3:00pm protien shake
6:00pm Dinner - lean meat, wild rice etc.(Steak or fish)
8:00pm ish.. Low carb chocolate haha...

I also drink about 2 gallons of water a day too..

Again, ideally others will chip in what works for them..


Blessings,

consider Casein instead of whey.. its more expensive but its better.

^ better at different times. I love my cassein, but always keep whey for after my workout.

consider Casein instead of whey.. its more expensive but its better.

Given the amount he has to take due to the fact the he is a vegitarian, the Casein would be fairly cost prohibative.

Do What???? I would get a blood test done,after 2 .5 yrs training you either have a hormonal deficency,or you're not pushing your self hard in the gym or either exercising improperly.

ok guys. i will try to up my protein by increasing 2eggs and 2scoops of whey per day.
but do u think ,the protein i get from shakes will b good enuf to build muscles as compared to natural food?
and what bot the body fat i tend to gain when on bulking diet as me being an endomorph.
and do u also think i shud continue my diet the way i have mentioned above.
pls comment

Hi, not sure if its an option, but consider getting a good workout partner. It will push you harder which you need. add more calories. eat 3-4 meals a day to bulk up for size and strength (limit your cardio during bulking. 20min 2x week). I consider a meal anytime you intake calories, no matter the size. after your initial bulking goals are reached, go to 6-7 meals a day to lean up.

Workout:

day1: chest/triceps/core
day2: back/biceps
day3: legs
day4: shoulders/core

This is a very basic routine/diet and will work well for several months.
