it would do something if you dont normally workout, but if you are a guy who's big and strong from weight training, and then you stopped weight training to do this, you would turn into a little bitch in no time. get in the gym, and get strong on the basic compounds. the faster you gain strength the faster you get big. (because you wont be gaining strength very fast for very long if you arent gaining weight, and if your gaining weight and gaining strength, your gaining muscle)

* *You want to do Chest, Back, Biceps, Triceps to failure everyday? * *No. * Just stop. *Give me the phone number of whoever told you to do this and I will give him a stomping. 4 sets of 10bicep curls everyday?!? My friend.... at your young age 16, you soak up bad information like a sponge because of how easily influenced you are. *Never do this. EVER. "Toning and shaping"??? What the hell does this mean. You either GROW muscle,or LOSE muscle...or GAIN fat..or LOSE fat... Being toned= Having muscles with trimmed fat so you can see the muscles more and fat less. * So go get some big muscles with the big compounds and a few isolations for the arms or maybe shoulders if you feel like it, then make sure your fat levels dropped... */sigh *heart attack reading this

i go to the gym 6 days a week. 3 days i do heavy compound lifts. on day 1 i deadlift and do back and bis on day 2 i bench and do chest n tris and day 3 i do squats and work legs and shoulders.. the rest of the days i do cardio and 20 mins abs with like an hour boxing.. and i weigh 170 and bench 195 DL 250 and squat 275 for 3, so thats not the problem i just want a bigger back and bigger biceps, also sir PLEASE do tell your hamstring secrets.

Let me get this straight. Your routine is: Day#1)Back/Bi *Day#2)Chest/Tri *Day#3)Legs/Shoulders * * * That's it??? * Yeah man. I suggest you start hitting EVERYTHING 2-3x a week. Starting Deadling 2-3x, Squatting 3x, Bench Pressing 2-3x , Shoulder Pressing 2-3x. * The secret to his massive hamstrings are More Squats and Deadlift. * So get on it.

* naa its a lifting day followed by a cardio day then a lifting day ect... and yeah the reason im doing cardio is because im toning and cutting body fat right now, once i get down to desired BF level, then il start bulking and hitting everything 2x a week with just 1 day cardio, so i was asking about the pull ups before bed for toning and shaping. because after i lose the love handles and gut its a slow bulk until i reach my goals btw wich are a 225 bench press 315 deadlift and a 350 squat

w well what if i only did push ups and pull ups and thats it/ because i used to do 200 push ups a night before bed and my bench press went up! thats when i first started lifting to, and in 12 months time my 1rm went from 115 to 195 so thats why i thought it would help, and i used to be like 30 percent body fat and me making it this far still seems crazy to me. so thats why i thought that i focus so much on pushing movements such as bench and not so much on pulling. il drop the dips and chin ups tho if that makes it better.

*Your bench press went up from Push ups because you were/are a newb. If you went to the park and threw around rocks, you would probably make gains. By the way, doing pushups is not a bad thing. I do 5 Sets of Pushups in my "Push" Routine as a burnout after my Dumbbell Bench sets. But to dedicate any time on them for "muscle building" the way you are is worthless. "*and i used to be like 30 percent body fat and me making it this far still seems crazy to me. so thats why i thought that i focus so much on pushing movements such as bench and not so much on pulling " . *What??? Pushing movements drop body fat, and pulling adds? Lol. *Lolllll. * * Lololololol. * My friend, keep the Dips and Chin Ups. Just put them in your Pull day for Chin ups, and push day for dips... or whenever you do the biceps and tri's. *

Do them two to three times a day if you are only doing calisthenics. If you are only doing 1 set, do them frequently. If you bump it up to 2-3 sets each, every evening is ok. You will get stronger, and you will def show improvements in your physique. Just look at soldiers if you want to know how you will turn out...a little leaner, in decent shape, but not big. It's still a healthy thing to do though, so I would not discourage you from exercising any way you can.
