Workout plan advice for a college student

Divisor

New member
I am new to these forums and to weightlifting. While I have lifted casually for the past year, I know nothing about making constructive progress toward getting stronger and bigger.

The basics: I'm 18, male, 5'8", 150 pounds. My diet consists of whatever the college cafeteria has--in other words, junk. I make sure to drink lots of water, citrus juices, and milk throughout the day, but that's about all I do. I try to eat lots of protein. For lunch I always get a 6" roast beef sandwich, and for dinner I usually pick something with lots of protein. However, I doubt this is sufficient.

At the weight room, I know the various lifts, but I don't know how to integrate them into a useful plan.

I want to get stronger, but admittedly, I want to look better and not be considered "skinny" my whole life.

I have access to a weight room every Monday-Friday, and I can dedicate one hour per weekday to lift there. There's a track nearby as well.

I max out on the bench at 185 lbs. I have done squats up to 225 lbs, but I do not know my max.

I am very serious about getting this workout plan going and sticking to it. Can someone recommend a basic workout plan for me given these circumstances? What supplements should I be taking that would increase my lifting potential safely? I am willing to dedicate lots of money and effort into the limited time that I can work out if it brings great success.
 
Basics: Eat every 3 hours at least 30 grams protein

Day 1: Back
2: Chest
3: legs
4: shoulders
5: arms
6,7: rest
Get lots of sleep, avoid alcohol
 
Divisor... Post this over on the Training Board and you will get some excellent response there... Personally for you I would suggest the 5x5 program and get your diet down... There are several people using the 5x5 on the training board so just ask about it... I have a copy of a basic program but just not on this computer... I will get it to you tomorrow sometime though....
 
I don't drink alcohol, and I get from 5-10 hours of sleep per night (yes, even in college).

bmit, I don't know what kind of exercises constitute back exercises. Can you give me some examples?

By the way, I just posted this thread on the Training Board.
 
Back... Deadlifts, rows, chins. I suggest that you stay as far away from the "track" as you can. Train 2-3 times a week, and start eating 3500 or more calories a day, and 250 grams of protein.
 
a training routine

well youve certainly picked a hardcore board for your post
if you e-mail me i will send you some basic routines to get you started

OMG... finally someone posted how it is... honestly, with nothing to hide... nothing, but respect for you...
as for the diet... I know how college diet is like... you should get some cheap protein supplements... MRPs perhaps??? It runs 4-6 bux a pound.
hang around and research a lot on this board... you can find answers to almost all of your questions...
And as other bros said, don't forget to visit other boards for specified goals (diet, training, sex :)
good luck...
 
What are MRPs?

I heard that whey protein is good...yes or no? Where can I buy it cheap? I live in the USA if that helps.

Meal Replacement Powder... just research the site for "cheap protein." you will get hundreds of posts with links.
just one of them is www.proteinfactory.com
They got numerous products, but I believe it was Weight Gainer...
Search that site under "formulas" and in Weight Gainer section you will see powder with carbs and fats. that's it, 3.50 a pound... Last time I ordered I got 30 lbs of that powder plus few pounds of egg protein and few pounds of very good 80% protein just to throw in to bring up protein % up a bit...
I get 4 shakes a day. They digest FAST... Very good to take after workout. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and take one. In the morning I am so hungry, I cannot even think about sex before I eat... Sad, but true... I am thinking about injecting b-12 and b-6 to eat MORE... Done it before, will do it in next few weeks...
good luck, bro...
if you have any questions, we are here to help... just research first...
