Working in def rep ranges I find pretty useful. Arnold said that everyone should include a power day/ exercises in their routine atleast once a week! This routine helps put on mass, helps you increase your strength and power, and also edurance, and also shape.
Power- (powerlifting) helps you build your strength/power.
Muscle- helps you with hypertrophy, and build muscle
burn- helps more with endurance, and shape
Stretching is important, it helps you prevent injuries, AND help you get a better range of motion. As well as loosen you up a little. I don't really stretch seriously, just a brief stretching out of my chest, arms etc legs.

It looks like I don't need to use weights anymore haha. My new job involves lifting very heavy things everywhere including up stairs eg reclining sofas, washing machines, photocopiers etc.
I'm getting a full body workout every day. Got to get a good eating routine as the hours are always changing. It's just about to reach bulking season here so bring on the weight gain.

imo, you're making it more complicated then it needs to be with him.
Take away the terms, and just have the exercises. He doesn't need to have explained to him why/what it works. Just making him confused since he's so new. Really needs to pick up a magazine or read some articles on muscle building/hypertrophy before he even begins to lift heavy or hard. Otherwise, he'll just see slow gains, like most people in here.
The breakdown of it is this, knowledge is the #1 tool in bodybuilding. You won't get ANYWHERE if you don't know what you are doing, or what you are putting in your body.
I've spent countless amounts of hours reading/learning/experimenting with as much possible, and I'm still learning.

Well, today I hit the wall on my food consumption. I all of a sudden have an extremely hard time stomaching my diet. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick I guess 2 and a half months of only eating chicken, fish, steak, pasta, rice and veggies has finally caught up with me. It doesn't matter how I season the food, it still blows and makes me wanna blow chunks. Any ideas on what I can do about this? I'm NOT giving up but I need some motivation or some ways around this little problem. As we speak, my wife is out buying more chicken, steak, fish, etc lol. BLAH.

I need to join up here. I may not sound that skinny being 195lbs at 6'4, but I sure as hell am. Problem I have is a eat a ton, and I drink too much beer, so I have gotten a little gut on. Other than that I am pretty damn skinny. I'll have to upload a few pictures on here. I have no chest at all, and overall I am really skinny. Hopefully I can shed any fat and be 195lbs of good solid cut muscle!

I hear ya. I already eat all those foods every day, but I guess I need to find diff. recipes or sauces to put on them. I do the steak with pasta, chicken with rice, fish with rice, milk, 4 eggs in the morning, yogurt, whole wheat toast, chicken and pasta, steak and artichokes, chicken with broc, steak and asparagus, etc, etc. Like I said, I think today was just a bad day. Hoping tomorrow to get back on it and keep going. Wait, I KNOW tomorrow I WILL get back on it Bought 5 new big ass lean steaks, a family pack of chicken breasts, more rice, more pasta, more broc, more asparagus, yogurt, milk, wheat bread and a few other things. Plus I have my supplements. I think today I was just feeling "off" ya know? I still got 5 out of my 7 meals in, plus a protein shake and all my supplements so I dont think it did that much harm. (I normally eat 6 small meals and a big dinner in 24 hrs.)

Welcome bro! Haha, I totally feel you on the beer. I used to drink so damn much beer. I was in the habit of having 1 or 2 with dinner every night for awhile :C The good thing about cutting down though is that now instead of drinking daily, I award myself only a few beers a week and only when I know I'll really enjoy them (laying out in the sun, night at home with the guys etc ) The good thing about limiting yourself is not only that you'll enjoy them a million times more but also that you'll save money in the long run which means that you can use the money you've saved to buy some REALLY good beers instead It's so much more enjoyable drinking 1 really nice beer than a 6 pack of some random brand. Anyways, point is, as soon as you start giving up beer, start eating eating right and start working out it gets easier and easier
Oh and before anyone says anything, drinking age in Sweden = 18 lol.
I know how you feel bro. Luckily, I'm not quite there yet with my current food situation. A suggestion for the future is that all of us start posting recipes (perhaps in a thread in the group?) that we can share. In my experience everyone tends to eat the same stuff but everybody also tends to eat it in their own specific way It's usually easier to eat the food if you have lots of different ways to switch it up so it doesn't get boring. I got a few recipes I invented myself that I can post later when I get the time haha. Hopefully you might like one of them GL, don't lose faith!Check out my log! http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=670835141

Perhaps if bodybuilding is your only focus in life. For a lot of people - myself included - bodybuilding doesn't account for everything I enjoy in life. One thing I really like aside from bb'ing happens to be cooking :9 Don't know about anybody else, but I've been good at hitting my macros eating food I enjoy eating. There's really no reason you shouldn't be able to do so after a little fiddling and some calculations
Just my 2 cents.Check out my log! http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=670835141
