[indian23]

Need to work abs more.

What supps u take?

[T~Bur]

By the sounds of things, you change your routine too much to track your progress & ensure progressive overload.

[The_Game16]

your arms look bigger than 13" id say 14.

[TeenBBer]

Awesome Mullet bro

[TeamInzer]

Lintford,

Nice stats for a 15y/o! Later bro.

[TCCJ12390]

yea dude you look like you bout to put on some serious muscle..just keep lifting

[OmniPotentTitan]

this must be like the 4th thread you have posted WITH THE SAME PICS.

[not granite man]

how long have you been training for. You dont really have much size or definiton really, which is bad if you've been training for ages. under a year though, and i'd say nice work.

WTF happened to all your reps?

[ukstrongman]

you need to cut out the crappy isolation movements, up the sets for the compounds and add in deadlifts!

add in some forearm/grip work and away you go!

[rugbyplayer]

this must be like the 4th thread you have posted WITH THE SAME PICS.
Agreed u just keep posting same pics over again hoping for compliments.

[Lintford]

Well thanks for the positive critisism, it's well appreciated, as for the people thinking I'm digging for compliments, look at me, I'm not exactly in the stage where I will really recieve compliments am I. I started a log, so people, such as ukstrongman, teaminzer, the game etc to give me positive critism, which will help me reach my goals as fast as possible.

TBur, I understand where you're coming from, I used to follow the same routine for a couple of weeks/months but I would plateau very easily, and as I am now (changing it up alot) I haven't plateaud in a long time, appreciated none the less.

Happy Lifting.

[Chris2512]

nothing wrong with isolation exercises. and progressive overload lol...someone takes their max-ot seriously.

lint good work, keep it up, do what your body is telling you is working--the best tracker of your progress is you, as long as you are completely honest with urself. good luck on the continued growth--keep it up and u'll be a beast by the time you've left your teens.

[Niyko]

Looking good, what machines you got? Is it all at the gym or at home?

[Lintford]

It's at a gym, pretty much every machine you can think of with the exception of some.

So you go to one everyday nearly, you go after school or before. Take it you have a membership.

I don't know too much about max-ot but progressive overload is fundamental to building size & strength.

Lint, continue to do whatever is working for you.

I shall be following.

Couple of shots taken earlier today...

[ukstrongman]

i think Max-OT is crap, but that's just me.

Lintford i would go with squats and milk routine to start with (buy the book 'SUPER SQUATS') and then eventually look into DC training, asuuming your goal is bodybuilding. I have gained 20lbs in a month on squats and milk.

Personally, i think isolation movements are a waste of time, that's why i am recommending the above systems. Both rely almost completely on compounds. I would suggest PMing KhanPaulsen about DC training. He's always got time for people.

Thanks mate, I will get in touch.

As for the isolations, I usually just do them at the end to get a better pump going, what are my main stengths/weaknesses? Appreciate it.

Oh yes, and my goal is bodybuilding, I plan on competing in the future.

[gonzaga111]

lookin good man keep bustin ass

eat sleep lift repeat bro

your man weakness is lack of size, your main strength is your mind, wanting to do it! That's all you need bro. Ditch the isolations completely, save them for when you have the size and are dieting down ready for a show. To get SIZE, all you really need is the big 3, my mate got to 230 like this. But for you i'd suggest adding in heavy rows, some serious overhead work and a pretty good tricep exercise (dips?).

I got your PM bro, sorry, no MSN :(

I can help you via PM if you want. Maybe we could get some personal training agreement going, i am a qualified trainer and would train you at a reduced price.

I would, thing is, I not only have not much money, I have none, lol.
You know you say I should concentrate on what we shall call the big 7 then (add some barbell curls in there too), how should I split them up?

[ukstrongman]

ok, no problems.

I would say go with squats and milk. Here is the routine:

MONDAY/WEDNESDAY/FRIDAY:
stretching
military press 3x10
bench press 3 x 8-10 (optional)
barbell row (45deg angle) 2-3x8
20 rep squat 1x20 (pullovers straight after)
stiff legged deads 1x15 or 2x10 (vary)(pullovers straight after)
dips 3x10
crunch (optional)
(optional one exercise for biceps - no need really)

if this is too much do it on mondays/thursdays only to get more rest.

NOTES - MUST READ
20 rep squats - take as long as you can to do 20reps with your 10rep max on squat! it's hard! keep it on your back! do or die!

diet-4000+ cals of clean food, 8pints bare minimum of WHOLE MILK a day.

don't overtrain if you are sore, give it an extra day rest.

stretch before and after.

this is basically all you need to know to start. I suggest you read this though(pretty much says what i have but in more detail) or buy 'SUPER SQUATS':

ENJOY!

Looks good mate, I'll give it a go no doubt.

[ukstrongman]

you should!
you could gain up to 30lbs in 6 weeks like this.

once you have done this (built a good base!) i would go with DC training.

[ukstrongman]

lints clear ur PM box mate.

[Lintford]

Hey everyone, just finished up a shoulder and bi's routine, thought I would post it up.

DB Shoulder Presses 5 sets 20kgs for 10, 22.5s for 4
DB Side Laterals 4 sets 10kgs for 12
Rear Delt Flies 4 sets
Barbell Curls 5 sets 30kg for 12, 35kg for 6
Machine Curls 4 sets
Cable Curls 4 sets
Machine shoulder presses 4 sets

I agree with some things you say, and I disagree with alot of what you say.

That routine looks like **** dude. It looks great for lowerbody strength but the upperbody is just lacking. His strength and size will grow out of proportion. Keep in mind he wants to be a bodybuilder. He needs to sculpt his body and accomplish an aesthetic proportional body.

Your a firm believer in compounds, and I agree with this; however, do not completely take out isolation. He's going for bodybuilding not powerlifting. It is also essential to use powersets, but he must include ways to gain growth. You should also realize that there is a wide difference between compounds & isolation, and both are very necessary. Isolation is a great way to shape and seperate muscles as well as building mass. Isolation for each muscle puts your body into proportion and balance. Isolation also helps you overcome weak points that compound lifts do not incorporate. With this in mind, I would suggest including isolation exercises after compound lifts or powersets.

As for the routine, what UK suggests is a straight forward powerlifting routine. In my routine I always include powersets for compound training. This allows your muscles to get used to the poundage & add strength. After completing these exercises I move onto isolation to hit every muscle fiber in the major bodypart. For example:

My Shoulder Routine:
Seated Military Press: 5 Sets (12, 10, 8, 6, 6)
Once I die out at the end of these reps I stand up begin push presses. This exercise helps you continue with repetitions after your shoulders meet failure. This also helps develop additional strength. Be sure to use your legs slighty and give all your might to lift the weight up until failure.
Arnold Presses: 4 Sets (12, 10, 8, 8)
This is a great deltoid exercise due to the tremendous range of motion.
Shrugs & Upright Rows: 4 Sets (12, 10, 8, 8)
I superset these two for complete failure (not exhaustion) of the traps. The shrugs pump the traps up and the upright rows finish them up while including developement in the front deltoid. This also helps seperate the muscles.
Bent-Over Laterals: 4 Sets (12, 10, 8, 8)
This exercise developes the rear deltoids.
Standing Lateral Raises: 3 Sets (12, 10, 8)
This developes the outside head of the deltoid, with secondary benefit to the front and rear heads.

I include my compound lifts in the beginning and then finish off with isolation for complete developement.

The split he gave you isn't great for mass and neither is the routine. You need to tear up and feel the growth of each muscle in every exercise. For that reason, I would choose a different split.

I'm not telling you to not listen to UK, but for you to realize that his routine is not the best. (By the way UK, I've seen your videos and I must say I'm very impressed. You have an amazing grip.)

Good luck Lint.

[Lintford]

Thanks mate.

[Lifter X]

your chest and back need to be hit more there huge muscles they need to be worked more then that

nvm i didnt see the bi and shoulder routine

You could not be more wrong. That training schedule is straight out of the book Super Squats written by Randall Strossen.phd...

It is a solid workout and split in every respect & it's HARDCORE.

To say it's for "lower body strength" is ridiculous. Which exercise in there will not hit your upper body???

That workout, coupled with great nutrition, will put size on EVERY muscle in your body.



Lint, are you planning on putting up every workout you do?

[BodyAddict]

Get rid of the god forsaken mullet.

Not all of them, pretty simply, if I get home and can be bothered writing it up and can remember my lifts I will.

good. constructiev disagreement is great.


That routine looks like **** dude.

Tell that to everyone who has used it, including 400lbs Paul Anderson a 1950s circus strongman with a 1200+ raw squat. It has built both bodybuilders and strongmen. It works.


It looks great for lowerbody strength but the upperbody is just lacking. His strength and size will grow out of proportion. Keep in mind he wants to be a bodybuilder. He needs to sculpt his body and accomplish an aesthetic proportional body.

what you say is true. There is no point making it proportional though before there is mass there in the first place. Get it? Plus the word aesthetic annoys me, bear in mind Ronnie wins on mass!!!

you can't shape by doing an exercise, how many times am i going to say this is genetic

This allows your muscles to get used to the poundage & add strength. After completing these exercises I move onto isolation to hit every muscle fiber in the major bodypart.

no it's not, if you have read the book i took it from it is just as much for basic size as it is strength, if not more!

that's enough to fry a rhino's CNS bro.. strict press, push press, arnold press, then all the crap exercises. Is this a joke? My shoulder routine is push press (then strict press, sometimes i even forget this) and guess what, my overhead on a viking press in comps is 330lbs. And my shoulder circumference is nearly 60''. Can you beat this? If so, ii'll reccommend lintford listens to you, not me.


(By the way UK, I've seen your videos and I must say I'm very impressed. You have an amazing grip.)
Good luck Lint.

thanks.

[not granite man]

WTF happened to all your reps?

um, i went into the wrestling forums and wished death upon xpac cause i think he is a lame wrestler, and yes, now i know death wishes are a little extreme, but god he sucked.

anyway, long story short, so guy with 5000 rep power negged me, then a guy with 3600 rep power negged me, then i made a dumb thread when i was drinking and got another few thousand negs and now i'm at -12,057!!!

so feel free to pos rep me guys, haha!

[not granite man]

I have a torn muscle in my shoulder and cant train, have been binge eating nonstop for 2 weeks, been getting no sleep and still look ten times bigger and more defined than you, with the exception of my traps being uneven due to the muscle tear, maybe you should change your routine, it's obviously not paying off. or, eat more, i binge eat for a bit and get extra energy stores to train like mad again. whats a shoulder tear for a body like mine, haha

oh, and i wish i was dead, it hurts like hell and if i have to have surgery and not train and be active, i fear i'll look like you in the end

[p4nc4k3s911]

Jesus, you look older than 15...I only know one kid who purposely got a mullet...it was funny as hell. Keep it up!

Oh, and in that one picture of your back...it looks spiraly...do you have scoliosis or something? I'm not being mean, I'm really just wondering...

No offense taken don't worry.

I havent got that no, I just attempted spiking my calf and it looked to twist my lower back a little.

Do yourself a favor and look into a structured program like the intermediate 5x5. That is way too much volume and you are not sure if you will do three four or 5 days a week. How can that be effective?

Yeah he is a prick dude.

All people train different, I didnt come here for people to tell me how to train or whatever, high volume is how I do it, and how alot of people do it. Even the best contrast in style, dorian and arnold for example, complete opposites.

Well yeah its your log, your not asking for advice on training, your displaying your training in your log.

Even so there is no need to post it 14 times. All them 5x5 Jedi's are the same, there way or no way. :rolleyes:

sorry, i diid not want to post so many times. my computer froze up and i hit submit reply to hopefully unfreeze it. I did not mean to bag on your workout, just giving helpful advice. I am not a prick. I have been on the 5x5 for 5 weeks and it is effective.

[muscleric]

Hey man,
get a training partner who is serious to help with workouts and nutrition. For your age you are fine. Good basic build. Over 2000 posts here on this site may mean you need to get a little more serious in the gym.
You have lots of time on your side and all the info is right here.
Push hard, flex, eat healthy, and be strong. Peace, Rich

Unfortunately it isn't as easy as that in getting a training partner. Believe it or not alot of teens outside the bb circle talk the talk but when it comes down to commitment, they ain't interested.

I'm with the "5x5 jedi" :D - it really is good!

Only just found this journal again; last time i looked it was in the teen section.

How are you getting on since you started the log, lintford?

Hey man,
get a training partner who is serious to help with workouts and nutrition. For your age you are fine. Good basic build. Over 2000 posts here on this site may mean you need to get a little more serious in the gym.
You have lots of time on your side and all the info is right here.
Push hard, flex, eat healthy, and be strong. Peace, Rich
Hey mate, thanks for the advice, about the training partner, reflexions hit it spot on, not many guys wanna get down to it, and I am confortable doing it on my own.

Also, about the posts, I am serious in the gym dude, for example I had a 2 hour chest abs and calves session earlier :)

Looks good, especially the flat BD presses - VERY strong!

I notice you're a sprinter; what distance(s) do you do and what times are you clocking?

There was much better at my club mate, it was only a small one too, there was a guy there, he was only 16, he could consistantly run 10.9!!!!

I quit athletics, bodybuilding was my call! After training while doing sprinting, and seeing gains, I got hooked.
