Body training and working out

[Jimmy]

Yeah I workout a lot. Routine is 3 days on 1 day off.

I take a different array of supplements, right now as I'm bulking up I'm taking USN Anabolic Muscle fuel which you take an hour before the gym and within 30 minutes of finishing a workout. That is a mass gainer. I also take BSN Cell Mass which is a Creatine, designed to improve recovery and build mass, you take that as soon as you finish a workout, so it hits your muscles straight away. These supplements basically put on the muscle before summer, so you gain weight fast. By the end of this month / mid to next month I'll cut out both of the creatine and mass gainer and just start taking BSN Syntha 6 (Whey Protein, in my opinion the best whey you can get) as this will help with getting that cut and ripped look ready for the beach!

There's also a load of other things you can take, such as "cutters" but let's not talk about them ;)

Anyone need any advice on supplements, training routines or anything else let me know as I'd be more than happy to help.

well i exercise a bit, but with pretty small weights and stuff... comes along football physique trainings..

So far we have 2 other people? lol..
Has anyone here stopped freestyling to put on weight? I find it impossible to gain weight whilst freestyling..I can never get enough of a calorie surplus when I freestyle.

you should eat protein supplements then ;)

I should but I'm trying to save money so I can travel.

What's your routine?

[L_I_S]

Oh man. At first I read deadlifts and BB rows and thought this guy knows some shit..then I read on.
4 sets of deadlifts? 
This should be one of your heavier lifts. If you can do 4 sets of it, up the load. After a set of deadlifts you shouldn't be able to perform another set. If you can, the weight isn't high enough for you.
6 different exercises for just for biceps?
You know how redundant that is? I know what you're thinking, "I have to hit the muscle at all these different angles to make them grow".

You're probably over training too judging from what you've already told me.
One more thing I should let everyone know. When you find a work out routine on random sites, make sure they're designed for you. What I mean is, don't do a fucking body builder work out if you aren't already a body builder. These work outs work for body builders. If anyone else does them they'll see very slow results.

6 exercises your routine should contain. Squats, deadlifts, bench press, over head press, barbell rows and pull ups.

For anyone that wants to start lifting look up "strong lifts" and "starting strength". Both of these will help you a lot.

had worked out the whole 2010, gained like 10 kilograms, pretty happy about the results. stopped now, since the motivation for fs came back
freestyle and working out don't go well with each other, you have to decide which one is more important for you, if you try to focus on both you'll suck at both. thank you

Haha, pal. I train with a professional rugby player for Sale Sharks, he has a degree in sports science. I think he is of a better standard to set a workout routine than you. One set of deadlifts, no!!!!! We work off on the heaviest weight and then work your way down, that way by the time you are done your back is exhausted. What you have said there is like saying you should do one set on the bench press as it's the heaviest chest lift you do.

Also, did you not read my comment, I said I wouldn't usually do 6 different exercises (I realised I wrote on the original post as if I'd usually do that many, so I confused you) on a normal day I'd usually do 3 different exercises, I have big arms. The reason I did it today is because I'm going out. Yes, pretty vain but we all do it, having your arms looking pump in a tight t-shirt.

For the deadlifts I assumed you were training for strength and in that case, I'm correct. But after reading the last comment you're clearly working for an aesthetic appeal. Which you may be correct about but it still looks like you're over training.
Yea, like the word professional has any merit these days *coughBillyWingrovecough*. I'm not spreading MY opinion..it's the information given by Mark Rippetoe.
Na, the same doesn't apply for bench press. It only applies for the deadlift. You should expend as much energy as you can with this lift since it works so many muscles at a time. Hence why so see heavy lifters deadlifting 3 times there body weight and 1.5 times their bench press. See the massive difference?

Oh I see, must've skipped the nitty gritty and went straight to the routine. My bad, completely my fault.



That's Mark Rippetoe. He wrote the book "Starting Strength". It explains in depth why anyone lifting for stregth should lift a certain way. It won't help you look amazing but it has a lot of good information that is backed up by many builders. Like why squats and deadlifts are so important.

[Jimmy]

Haha, do not preach to me about body builders or people who have written books. I've heard all that before. And why bring up billy wingrove in a gym article? That's pretty ridiculous and he doesn't have any relevance to the topic, do you know billy? have you met him personally? A professional is someone who makes a living off what they do, correct? Billy makes money from being a freestyler, he may not be the "best" but he still makes a life for himself out of it, quit hating.

I didn't doubt squats and deadlifts are important, why do you think I do them! Please talk to me about your routine, so I can criticize it, scrutinize it and pick your faults oh mighty gym god who does one set of deadlifts. You joker. How often do you go the gym? What muscle groups did you work out yesterday?

So..you didn't get my point when I said your "professional" dudes means nothing. It means exactly what I highlighted.

I wasn't speaking directly to you when I said that, I was pointing it out for everyone else. I don't isolate muscle groups, that's what a bodybuilder does. You need to have a fairly big frame before you start to isolate.

Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift

Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Barbell rows Rows

AxBxAxBx etc
If I had a chin up bar or a dip bar I'd do them too. I don't go to the gym.
Good luck finding faults in that.

Workout regularly. Havent squatted since winter break but when I did I hit 225lbs for 4 reps. Deadlift was at 265lbs for 3. Currently focusing on chest and tri's more along with bodyweight excersizes.

How much did you weigh at the time of these lifts?

Does anyone know a good pic uploading site that doesn't involve a captcha system. I'm sick of those
