That's how I started with my nutrional diet changes simply eating clean cutting refined foods. Good luck!

Hi, I think that is way too much for your chest. You can do one body part a day but that doens't mean you should overtrain it either! 3 exercices of 4 sets is plenty for your chest. I use to train 1 body part a day too but I stoped that because I was tempted to overtrain like you are doing. Do 2 bodyparts instead like chest-triceps or reduce your volume.

Also are you doing all that training in the morning on an emply stomach?? hope not.

One more thing..I think 15 minutes on the treadmill to warm up is too long. I'm kind of tired after 15 minutes of cardio and can't imagine lifting that much after. 10 minutes max for a warmup or you can do a couple of warm up sets too.

01-04-2005, 11:41 AM
each body part a week.. and ya i was doing 2 parts a day, ive done tones of types training, my boyfriend who bodybuilds himself told me to start now with just one day for each muscle group and Im just giving it a try to see what my gains are..I guess Ill see what happens. thanks for the info though.

Hi Noms

Are you trying to gain muscle or get cut? If you are trying to gain muscle you should be eatting at least 1g protein per lb of bodyweight. I normally try to eat almost 1.5g pre lb.
5 days a week should be fine but no longer then 1hour, and always do cardio after weight training. I also agree with the girls the heavier the better, but don't hurt yourself.
Also if you are trying to gain muscle you really should cut down on the cardio, I know that may be hard if you teach areobics, but you could be burning muscle.

Hope some of this helps, good luck

All about the muscle gain for me right now. I tend to get a lill chubby though so Im just trying to be careful, I know lill bit of chubb comes along with hard traning though..I will keep in mind to cut cardio down, I do teach like 3 class's a week so I just will not really do to much personly.

so my diet so fare is.. tell me if I should be eating more??

morning b4 work out: cuple bits of pinnapple, rice cake,natural p.butter,sypur,coffee

post work out: 1cup oat meal,1\2talbe p.butter, apple,soymilk

snake: protein shake and somthing small(not sure whattoday)

lunch: chicken breast,whole weat wrap,low fat mayo, veggie sticks

snake:protein shake, seame seeds snakes? is this not good???

dinner: chicken breast, veggies, brown rice 1\2cup

snake: portein drink maybe small cup of plain yogert

today Im training back.
latpull,seated row,cable row,bent over 1arm row,wide grip chin ups-failure??
add lill lower back, question should I do dead lifts or just low vback extensions..
thanks ladies any input just jump right in.. should I be eating more if yes maybe tell me what, I tend to over eat so I tried to cut down just a little bit, my protien shakes are just water a lill over 1 scoop. should i be taking in more thoughout the day!

I am trying to gain muscle right now too. I read on Monica Brant’s website or someone like her that she eats anywhere from 1.5 to 2 Xs her bodyweight in protein. But that is hard on the kidneys so drink lots of water at least a gallon. So that is what I do look at 1.5 grams being my absolute min. I go for the 50/30/20 split but usually get 40/40/20, which is acceptable.

You teach aerobics so you probably already know this - but I do abs every time I work out (1 exercise each time) and I do one set of Pilate’s for lengthening and tightening the core. My stomach has gotten flatter and I see some vertical lines (no six pack visible) which helps my ego a lot. Anyhow that is my trick to feel better about the extra fat.

noms
01-06-2005, 09:45 AM
home now, did back I feel like I could have done more??
only 3sets of 8-12reps.. maybe I should move it up to 4 sets..I did go heavy to failure but I feel that I just needed more of a burn.. whats a good program for back maybe mine sucked? look below and thats what I did today.. noms

Hi Noms:

regarding your meal plan above:

- Why so many protein shakes? Convenience? Real food is much better if you can swing it.
- PWO Meal: This is where you should be having your shake. Then 1 - 2 hrs. later have your oats etc...
- Last meal: I wouldn't have the shake - have something that's slow digesting like Peanut butter or cottage cheese.

Just a few thoughts I hope this helps.

noms
01-06-2005, 10:53 AM
so u think 3 protien shakes is 2 much? 24grams a protien in each shake.. I just find it hard cuz i work 2 jobs, one at gym another at pub.. and i have to take food one the go so its easy to have a shake with water in it and maybe a lill snake with it..But I hear what your saying whole foods are always the best.. Diet is such a hard thing but I guess all it takes it work.. Ill get it right 4 sure,, thanks ya noms

sweet ya I think i just kinda went happy go lucky the other day! do you think 4 exersise of 3 sets and pushups failur of 4 sets is ok??

that does not match your stated goals AT ALL.


I think i will keep incline press,incline cables,seated chest press,lowpully cablecross overs or what do you think.

if you want your progress to remain slow to non-existent, keep all that.


and go heavey heavy..

heavy is good, now simplify your sessions.


its better when my mans in town cuz he good at pushing me and being my spot.. but thanks for the input i need all i can get

drop all machine "lifts".

for bench day i suggest bench press, and push press.

what other lifts do you do? you do other lifts, right?

what is your set/rep/rest/% of rom protocol?

do not do direct ab training. noobs never do it right,

heavy compound free weight lifts are the best ab training there is.

noms
01-06-2005, 11:43 AM
so why drop all that?? I mean I do bench but not one this program whats wrong with change?? incline dumbbells r my fave along with incline cables, my chest is getting bigger infact. I know how to train I just like some good input on good exersise. Im not really a bench girl though. but maybe I will add it in a cuple off weeks a drop somthing eles

ps,, what you you tell me then for big gains in my chest?? how many exersise what sets and reps..I dont think im doing that bad right now.

shadowII
01-06-2005, 12:24 PM
so why drop all that?? I mean I do bench but not one this program whats wrong with change??

if you have TRULY mastered the flat barbell bench press, and are doing the incline dumbell bench press for a change, that is excellent.


incline dumbbells r my fave along with incline cables, my chest is getting bigger infact.

your chest wil get bigger, faster if you drop the cable movements.


I know how to train I just like some good input on good exersise.

everyone on this forum knows how to train and is looking for "some good input on good exercise". if you REALLY know how to train than there is no need to ask for input, right?


Im not really a bench girl though. but maybe I will add it in a cuple off weeks a drop somthing eles

i suggest becoming a "bench girl" and you will accelerate your progress.


ps,, what you you tell me then for big gains in my chest?? how many exersise what sets and reps..I dont think im doing that bad right now.

the muscle mass gaining protocol is this...

use from 70 - 85% or your 1rm, do sets of 5 to 10 reps, rest 1 minute between sets.

use free weights, and concentrate on the big compound lifts.

you may be doing excellent right now, especially since you lift heavy, however, you are very far from maximizing your program.


p.s. what about your other lifting sessions? it is the squat and the deadlift that are going to build substantial muscle mass, not the bench.

noms
01-06-2005, 05:18 PM
sweet for sure,I have squats and Im going to add deads now, I never really did deads b4 just cuz I was whimping out I think. I was taught in my training that 6-12reps is hyper, below 6 is more closer to strength, like power lifters and such..I'm doing well with my set's and reps, It just seemed that you where picking on me so i was just asking what you thought!

what i ment by input was kinda just bodybuilding, I just want to learn more about how bodybuilders train and life in a way, Like I had said b4 I dont know any bodybuilders, no woman i know want to train like me, My bf is as close as I get to bodybuilder. So other input on how hard ass trainers train is what i ment my input.. thanks though for helping me out..Ill take you advice and start bench and I do sqauts and deads are on there way.

shadowII
01-06-2005, 09:18 PM
you are headed in the right direction. you will find that deadlifts are quite easy to learn.

noms, I would suggest to remove the peanut butter in your post-workout meal. Peanut butter (fat) slows digestion and you really don't want that post workout, you want the nutrients to get as fast as possible to your muscles. I would move it to meal 6 instead.

Also, you should have a protein source in your first meal at least 20g, I would review this meal: more carbs and more protein.

One more thing: how many protein is there in your leanmeat sauce? is there at least 20g? Maybe add protein. I try to have at least 20g of protein at every meal.

noms, are you training on an empty stomach??
Don't do that! Your body just had 8 hours without food, then you wake up and train for 1-2 hours. Have a protein shake with dry or cooked oatmeal mixed in! It's super good and gives you energy. Or a protein shake with a banana if you can't eat nothing else.

That's bullcrap! what counts is the daily calories in vs daily cals out! You have to keep that in mind. I know we are tempted to beleave that if we eat before working out we only burn the food that we ate but that's not how it works! Think about it, it woulnd't make any sense. And if you eat there is a good chance your workout will twice better and intense.

noms, you should never do cardio before weights. Weights then cardio. You need all the energy to lift heavy and with intensity! Arnen't you tired after your cardio session? How can you lift after? I don't get it. After a weight session, don't even ask me to do 10 min of cardio, I'm exausted.

no for sure thats true, um the thing is I have to do more cardio then b4,, cuz I need body fat down to 12% its at about 18-19% right now..I have great energy for training Im stronger then ever..I curl up to 27lbs 4 bicep... good form cuz Im a form freak.. I shoulder press with 27.5-35lbs DB. and I have not a bad bench my dlifts r up2 120lbs now I just stared those a few weeks ago. I feel in away that I get better work out with my HR high..when I just train for myself though I dont do as much cardio.. Its just that I have a goal set for Mays figuer comp. I've talked to a few girls that have done figure for the past 5 yrs and they just helped me out.. I would love to do FFbodybuilding one day in but I knwo Im not ready yet.. I cant do cardio apart from weights cuz I work at my gym aswell.. so Im there 2 much..Im pretty good at listening to my body and I change things up if there not working for me.. bUt thanks for your input.. I really need it from all you woman. Ive changed my life so much and training, work and my man, family is what I live for now..In the future I will take the cardio down though.. thanks 4 listening noms

even if you have very strong genetics you are headed for a crash noms.

doing lots of cardio is not going to reduce fat.

you will be much better served by a simpler program.

you are in bulking stage right now, right?

so why are doing cardio?

and why are you training on an empty stomach?

you already had a taste of what is to come with your recent sickness, you are destroying yourself.

time to wake up and get real.

cut the number of exercises you do in each session to 2 or 3.

i am glad to read that you are doing awesome noms. you will do EVEN BETTER with a rational program.

p.s. if you keep going around "a mountain" you will not end up at the top, you will just be circling around it forever. to get to the top you have to go UP "a mountain".
