you look trim but judging from what i can see i would just try adding overall mass, if thats what youre going for. you got great skin coloring, so if you become ripped youll look great, unlike me i have light skin so its hard to see the definition from all the work i put in. what kinda routine are you on now and when did you start?

[kunji]

well...i have to admit that i have a huge gut. for me all my bodyfat is stored in the gut area so this pic sort of doesnt tell the whole story. and again to be truthfull i only started seriously getting into bbing recently. ill post some old pics pretty soon. the only workout did for like a year was wrestling with my buds(not even amateur, just imitating moves on a mat) and doing bicep curls. lol.
but for the past month or so this is the routine i have adopted.

Monday Chest/triceps
Tuesday HIIT
Wednesday Back/Bicep
thursday HIIT
Friday Legs/abs/delts

thanks for the compliments, but i know once u see my whole pics u will be taking them back !

if your trying to add mass, i started a program recently of hitting each body part once a week, hard.

mon-chest
tue-back
wed-tris
thu-bis
fri-shoulders
sat-legs
sun-off

now i have experimented with different routines for a while now and have been workingout on and off for a couple of years. i find that alredy i am feeling good gains and muscle density after a short period of time, also you need to make sure to watch what you eat, it is very important.

I used to do a program similar to that, but it hit two muscles a day and was four days a week. The only problem was that muscle soreness seemed to linger on for days. It wasn't because I was doing too much work, it was because I wasn't working the muscles frequently enough to get them into the habit of working out. Working a muscle every seven days doesn't really give the muscle a chance to adjust to working out. Working a muscle every 3 to 5 days helps the muscle get into a groove. I find myself less sore now and I work out even harder than I did with my last program.

My current routine is 3 days done 5 days a week. So each week is in a different order since it is 5 days a week, or Monday through friday. I do: day 1: chest, shoulders Day 2: back, triceps Day 3: legs, biceps

An example of the order would be Monday: day 1, tues: day 2, Wed: day 3, thurs: day 1, fri: day 2, next monday: day 3, tues: day 1 and so on. This way not every week is the same.

I also change the weight every week. One week will be light (8-11 reps), the next week will be heavy (4-7 reps). I increase sets every week for every exercise until I'm doing about 5 sets per exercise, then I go back to doing 2 sets per exercise and work back up again. That way I can avoid overtraining.

if a muscle is trained to absolute failure during a workout and i find if i do about say 20 sets per body part (5 exercise 4 sets each) that i get a great pump and also my strength increases because i dont overtrain the muscle and give it ample time to heal. you can do each body part twice a week like i used to, but i could never go all out because if i did i had to work that muscle again a couple of days later, or the muscle is involved in other exercises (ie. bench press works front deltoid head, triceps, chest) that i had to do the next day. but you do whatever works, whatever you see gains in strength and mass with.

I used to do that but I WAS working too much. I would be sore for 2 days post work-out and just kept on going. Terrible Idea! Sometimes you just need a recovery day. But def Add mass and start bulking. If you want to lose the "gut" you've got to burn it off with Cardio and better eating. Abs are Made mostly in the Kitchen!
