Questions from a Newbie

[BodyLifter]

I was wondering if someone could look at my workout and offer any good pointers.


DumbBell Press - 4 x 6
Bench Press - 4 x 8
Decline Bench Press - 4 x 6
Dumb Bell Flies - 4 x 8
BarBell Curls - 4 x 8
Dumb Bell Curls - 4 x 8

Any pointers ? I was told I should add "skull crushers" for triceps.

Also I wanted to know would it be best to live the most weight I possible can to complete 6?


And for the Bench Press and Declined i've been lifting a steady weight for a while now and I notice its been about a month and I have yet to increase.

I was told that you should increase the weight when you can do 4 x 8 of the particular exercise.

And as far as a diet would go i've been eating chicken ,chicken, and chicken. And eggs in the mourning is that an ok thing to eat I know im not a buff on different protein foods but so far I have learned the protein bars are the worse thing since .. i dunno!

Anyways thanks any help would be appreciated.

is this the only workout you have???? any legs or back??? give the whole breakdown of your routine

 

[BodyLifter]

Yep that's it. I have'nt worked anything else.

Oh no! Don't be a Johnny Bravo! You HAVE to work legs and back. Compound movements like squats, deadlifts, barbell or db rows, and pullups.

my advice is to go to the top of the page and read the sticky on TRAINING METHODS. there is a lot of really good info there. find one you like and work with that. you have to do more than chest and bis man. and welcome to the board. stick around and read and you will learn alot here.

But defiantely gotta read the stickies at the top of the page.

Bodylifter,

Dude, you should totally revamp your workout. Check out the stickys and see how things are and then see what you come up with. I wish you the best of luck.

I can't remember -- did you post the poll? B/C I was the one that suggested Johnny Bravos. I never found out the results of that poll...

Yeah, I obviously got that from that poll . Hadn't thought about it since then until I saw this post though. All credit to ffknight and makedah.
