avg workout time (per workout)-1 Hour- 1 Hour 30 Mins

I also workout 1-2 times a day, so all of this isnt done in one huge massive 2 and a half hour workout.

Down to the tee, thats pretty mutch how a good week goes, I dont have mutch of a social life except for at school and on the internet, so this is what I spend all of my time doing, pretty mutch.

The following week I will take about 2-3 days off (mon, tues, thurs) for recovery. so that would have me working out 11 out of 14 days.

the only thing that makes me mad, is, im still small. I work out longer and harder than most I know, trying to get big. I know im doing everything right. Just keep this routine up? thanks for comments. Ive been on it for almost 3 mo. now. its pretty damn gruesome! but I love it!

ill post some more up when I change workouts or start gaining some more, untill then Ill keep this up, thanks for replies!

the preacher curls toast me good. I mean good. Just got done doing some, (I work out in my garage).

also, from strien, during a set (when it gets very intense) I will get charlie horses/muscle cramps in my feet, legs, and neck from streining. is this regular too? I belive it is. but Im not sure..

also, I do not just have 2 months of training under my hat, Ive been workingout off and on heavily ever since late august-september. so its been about half year. Ive gotten bigger and this routine im doing now is really doing the berries for me so far, but some suggestions and comments would be cool.

thanks again

No offense, but your routine sucks.

The reason you have seen gains from it is because you are beginner.

There is one ultimate reason why it sucks: you aren't training legs.
