You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BritishSoldier again.

haha so does every other beginner. they assume that just because they are isolating every body part with 7-8 differenent exercises that this is the most beneficial thing for them.

well it's not.

read the "Why nobody is critiquing your workout thread"

I was JUST like you, going around posting stupid questions and posting my workout seeing what everyone else thought of it. Just go with a premade workout that is made for someone like you.

You will see much more of what you would like to see if you go with a program like Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strenght or Greg Thurman's Bigger, Faster, Stronger.

Both are very good and insightful books to get a beginner off on the right foot. Hopefully after doing what you think is your "perfect" little workout and not seeing hardly any results, then that will humble you.

yeah you should definitely get rep for this incredibly helpful post.

Second that.

Also, working out the legs releases the most natural growth hormone in the body and being a 17 year old and looking at your pictures, your body is far from growing. It should motivate you to know that you are releasing an illegal substance into your body legally just by doing leg workouts. (SQUATS, DEADS)

Massive overtraining. Even the pro's would not do that.

Train smarter not harder.

monday: chest
tuesday: bi's and tri's
wednesday: shoulders, back, traps
thursday: chest
Friday: bi's and tri's
saturday: legs
sunday: rest

this is an intense workout week. You need to be on some serious recovery supps, and have an awesome diet. A lot of beginners start by only doing chest once per week.

You think you're crazy - everyone else thinks you're dumb. Listen to the advice in this thread and change your routine.

*sigh* This thread makes me sad. Not only did it start poorly, but then people chimed in with crappy info. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Agree train smarter, but you have to train HARDER too. There is no such thing as "easy" work. Easy work leaves you 130lbs.

Also, this is not overtraining. It is hard to say exactly what it might be (other than a hot mess), but simply put you are using the idea of overtraining incorrectly. Stop it.

This isn't an intense anything. Lists can't really be intense, can they? Intensity measured as a % of your 1RM... maybe that was all the list you could generate?

Recovery supps... . Your suggestion of supplementation to a 17 year old who doesn't even know how to train is a little like suggesting track spikes to a toddler who has yet to walk. What he needs to do is get his diet and rest in order. To my knowledge there is absolutely NOTHING that compares to solid rest and actual nutrition when it comes to recovery.
