Halotest 25

Fair enof Im no expert as some here but i Know a lot i ment kidneys, my diet is as clean as possable honestly cant go cleaner. I dot belive in over training unless ur body lets u know by eather a) pain b) overall fatigue and not feeling good c) lack of imporvment in strenght. I have no pain feel better than ever and see improvments slowly but there. For abs i do hit them heavy and its an acutate bf% done by a pro athletic trainer. I didnt know dead lifts helped with abs, knew they helped for overall body, I do squats im not a huge fan of the dead lifts for the whole back and posture thing. I think im done growing i mean i havnt grown an inch in 4 years. My brain proably hasnt finished matureing ur right usually happens ages 21-24 depending on the individual. I thought ur perutitary gland was done around 17-18 and u started to see decline in test and gh by 20. plenty of studies show actually the most rapid decline at that age. Im not trying to take a short cut because ive WORKED MY ASS OFF for years, more so past 8 months. I missed id say 10 days in the past 8 months at the gym or some type of work out. Ive seen amazing resluts as i said before but ive kinda platued off and really cant seem to get a six pack. Im not saying i need this but i know idll help again maybe point me to something else that would do it.

If you are lifting chest/back/shoulders/arm/legs all 3 times a week, you are over training. More does not necessarily = better.

How can you possibly lift chest and shoulders every other day and expecting to recover? You aren't. Recovery takes much longer than that. That's acheing for a shoulder injury right there.

Believe in overtraining or not, you are lifting each body part way too frequently, thus you are overtraining. Opinions don't mean shit when the facts stare you in the face.

Do you know how often most guys here train one body part per week? 1 maybe 2 depending on how the schedule falls for the week.


2000 calories a day is how much my 115 lb, 50 yr old mother eats. Not even kidding.

You need to up the calories by 1000 (keeping it clean, and even throwing in some simple carbs/sugar post-workout), lift at the very most 1 body part every 4-5 days(Sure as hell not M/W/F or T/TH/Sat), yes every 4-5 days, and make those workout session much more intense. I have been lifting week-in and week-out without skipping a beat for well over 2 years and I am still sore because I push th elimits every time, and then give my body a week to recover for that part.


I'd lift 4 times a week instead of 6, and just do cardio those two days you are now no longer lifting.


That's my $.02

Again, you are over training. Period.

You are completely wrong about deadlifts.

Plateaus are taken care of by training and diet.

It is hard to help you, or take you seriously for two reasons.

1) You state way too many things as global facts, when they aren't.

2) You keep professing your education and knowledge but you can't write a complete sentence or even spell 50% of what you type correctly.

Also, you seem to be wanting to have all of this spoon fed to you. Than isn't going to happen here. Go read Rippetoe, Wendler, Delavier, Zatsivorky or Everett. After that, come back and ask questions about what you have read.

i've been working out for 12 years. have hit plateaus. have done many a different workouts , like many of the EF community. i remember the first years to where you would dream about lifting. it would occupy your mind all day. anyways. i've been on a 12 week variable training routine and can honestly say i've been getting soar every week. it's like i can feel the little rips in the fibers it seems. man, it feels good!

Listen to these guys, they have a vast amount of experience and are just telling you how it is, because they are right you really need to learn how to lift bro and 2000 cals is nothing, you should be losing weight with that, your body can barely perform all its necessary functions let alone maintain and add muscle to your body. When my cals are so low i cant think straight.

well ill say every one's body is different and I can tell u im not feeling like i over train you can read Advanced sports nutrition books and they will tell you when your over training. But Ill take ur $.02 on it and try lifting say bies back one day chest the next then shoulders and repeat with legs every other day...

Assuming no aas, you should only be in the gym 4-5 days a week (I do 4), an hour each time...that's all you need man, just give it time.

You can't hit shoulders one day and chest the next. You use shoulders in chest movements so by doing that, your shoulders are never recovering and thus you arent able to go 100% on chest days.

Legs are the biggest muscle and most important when working out, you don't need to do 3 or 4x a week thats crazy. Go hard on legs, 1x, 2x at MOST a week, always at the beginning of the week.

Ok so why the extra year (Im majoring in kineseology and goin to medschool so i know a lot)? monday wensday friday i do legs bies back, tuesday thursday and saterday i do chest shoulders. I alternate my days so example monday would be just free weights same on tuesday then ill do functional fitness exercise for that group on wensday and thursday then start the cycle over. I do abs every day one day heavy next day i do light ( based of the idea of running every day you train ur body and it gets used to it) I dont do abs on sunday tho. My cardio is every day run 15-20min on monday- saterday(interval) then on sunday i run 35min and then hop on the bike for 15min. Im eating about 160g of protein and ive took some nutrition classes taking in much more than ur body weight is actually considered toxic to you liver. My understanding is i need around 2000 calories, I could take in 3000 but im more concerned about cutting then bulking. Doesnt work for me I was 170lbs went up to 220lbs, got strong but i was fat now i just dropped to 160lbs and i lost more strenght but not to much considering the weight i dropped. If you guys dont recomend it thats fine but can you tell me a way to get ripped and a 6 pack. Im at 10% i should have one maybe not ripped up but there. My expericence level is 6 years of lifting spent my whole life in sports started football at 13 and soccer at 5 and skiing at 2 so i know about the science of sports. I curently help train college athelets.

First and foremost, your too young for steroids. Take advantage of your natural levels right now and get your diet on track. And as far as your training goes, your way too overtrained for anything, whether its bulking or cutting. You need to get on a REAL training split rather than the one youre on, because no offense, but yours sucks. Once youve done those 2 things, then come back and talk to us about it. And another thing, if youre a true 10%, then you should have no problem seeing your abs
