I would say too much myself.

Why not lower the volume a bit and do something like this

Monday
Deadlift 2 x 8-10
Pull Ups 2 x 8-10
Bent Row 2 x 8-10
One Arm Row 1 x 8-10
Shrug 2 x 8-10

I see from doing some searching that you are a low volume guy so I figured you'd be the best person to ask this question to.

I have a buddy who is looking for a bit of a change, and I was...

What do you mean?

I mean, yeah I could do leg extensions instead of front squats since I already squated before, but extensions are no where near as effective as squats.

They get hit good enough with dips, overhead presses, and bench. I do direct bicep work right now as my bi's are lagging a bit.

Just on the stuff that needs it.

Take my bench for instance. I will do a warm up set before my work sets but I won't do the same on the overhead press since my shoulders will have been warmed up...

Hmm.

I always recommend back squats to people, but I myself actually prefer front squats. What about them don't you particularly like?

I've got a buddy who has been doing an alternating upper/lower split for some time now and he's been growing like a weed. That would certainly be another option.

So am I.

I think maybe your problem is that you may not have properly set up a full body routine that allowed you to train three times a week.

With a full body routine you need to do two...

Not entirely true.

You can train three times a week (fullbody) or four times a week (upper/lower) provided that the volume is right and you don't waste your time on the useless stuff.

This is better

Squat
Stiff Leg Deadlift
Lunge
Standing Calf Raise
Seated Calf Raise

If you want to do leg press instead of lunge that is fine, but extensions and curls really aren't...

I don't know where it ever started that only beginners can train a body part three times a week or only advanced trainees can do a more typical split.

Pull.

And once a week is plenty.

Try doing your leg exercises on monday, push on wednesday, and back on friday.

A good option would be as follows.

Monday:Legs
Squat

I rest anywhere from 1-2 minutes. Just depends.

Keep it the same.

Well this is what I had for breakfast today.

1/2 cup egg whites plus one whole egg
4 slices canadian bacon
2 slices whole wheat toast
2 tablespoons natty peanut butter

I try not to...

Since I use a Forman and am about to cook some chicken myself I will tell you what I myself do.

First even though it is non stick, use some cooking spray on the thing.

Next, plug it in and let...

Good advice.

Thanks for the help guys. I think maybe I'm just hungry in general. I last ate at 4 and was gonna wait until 7. I think I'll just put on some chicken and eat a little sooner. Heck...

LOL.

That and a protein shake actually was my last meal.

Hmm. I was looking in the fridge and I noticed I had some health smart chocolate fudge bars made with splenda. I am a half hour away...

You're kidding about the frosted mini wheats right?

But I can't have these things. I don't want to break my diet. Quick, someone post a picture of a fat slob so it'll inspire me not to cheat. I swear I am about two minutes from walking down to the...
