How my Diet and Routine. I am 5'4 130 15 years of age.

My training split goes like this

monday-chest
tuesday-back
wednesday-legs
thursay-rest
friday-shoudlers,traps
saturday-biceps,triceps
sunday-rest
My reps have been 5-10. 3 sets each sometimes 4. About 3-4 exercises per bodypart.
Hows that. I was wondering if and when i should do cardio and abs. Also where shoudl i put forarms/calves in there.
Since lifting i have gained 10 pds, my muscle are getting bigger. But there is still some fat on my stomach. Will it just take time. I have been lifting for 2 1/2 months now.
Any help would be great thanx.

My diet goes as
7:00breakfast-6 egg white,1 yolk 1 cup of oatmeal with 1 1/2 cup of milk(fat free), yogurt(fat free), banana
10:30lunch-salad, milk, fruit
pre workout- power bar (10 grams of protein, 48 carbs), yogurt(fat free)
3:00post workout-2 scoops of designer protein in fat free milk
5:0015-30 mintuest later-2 cans of tuna on bread , 2 tbsp of peanute butter on bread
7:30-8:00dinner - chicken breast or steak, potota, rice, and vegies
8:15desert-pudding ( fat free, sugar free)
10:00before bed - i have 2 scoops of designer with milk

everything lookls solid to me, but, you've only been working out for 2 1/2 months, so, don't expect to keep making gains the way you are now and everything in bodybuilding takes time.
You are the only person that will know what will or will not work for you, so, listen to your body and go by your gut on what you think you should do. also, read books and magazines because they help a lot and teach you things that you never even thought about.

pretty good, but let me suggest something...

do ur chest and back on the same day... i know people will slam me for saying this but i love doing chest and back on the same day and have experience great gains. It also indirectly works your arms.

You currently have a staggered format which is okay, but when you do back you will have less time for your biceps to recover before you have your arm day. This will give your biceps and extra day.

I've gotten some good gains from super setting chest and back....Why would it be bad to work them both out in one workout..?

THE OVERTRAINER · 10-20-2001, 04:14 PM

I always work my chest and back together, i get a great pump, and sometime i superset them. Also, i usually do pullovers; the hit the chest and lats, so it works out well.

That is a myth from somewhere. It is actually good to work the opposing muscles on th esame day. I do it my trainees do it and alot of the world does it.

Kutulus · 10-20-2001, 04:38 PM

i agree..

i have gained so much after switching to CHEST/BACK on the same day!

doing the opposing muscle groups on the same day is great! it also indirectly works your arms...

the only think people have against it is that they wouldn't have enough intensity to get through it, and one body part will lag...

im not having this problem at all, i do deadlifts very last and they are just as intense as my pressing movements i do first.

ahhhh dont listen to dorian, he doesnt know crap when it comes to training???? lol now on the other hand, if your trying to get into modeling, dorians your man!!!!! lol you know i gotta play around wiht you on that one bro.

definatly okay to work opossing muscle groups on the same day. a little "push/pull" action never hurt anybody LOL

joehh

Kutulus · 10-20-2001, 06:45 PM

and about the intensity...

i do 9 reps for chest and 12 for back... if u don't have enough energy for that then i think ur in the wrong sport...

maybe you'd be better training for chess, not bodybuilding... hehe

Dorian · 10-20-2001, 07:57 PM

It was worded wrong It meant to read that there is a common myth going around any more. It says not to work the opposing muscles . But I do , my trainees do it and most of the world does it. There is nothing wrong with it. as a matter of fct it is an excellent way to create growth when you have stalled by using the other methods.I am trying to add to the positive aspect of training opposing groups.

as for Joe well I never listen to the young whipper snapper any ways.

( just gotta mess with you)

Steve the Great · 10-20-2001, 08:58 PM

Yea I read in Flex that by super setting bodyparts (ie chest and back) the blood is there in the same region, for both of them. I cant see how it would be bad (not saying that anyone said that im just stating an opinion)
