just started getting back into training and wanted to do it properly this time. had enough of fu**ing around for the past 5 years (sad i know)
so heres a few stats before i get into the diet and routine i came up with
body weight : 95.5 kilograms
height : 6'2
I dont know the measurments for the rest of my body as I'm not really sure how to take them...
but here are..
Arms : 16 inches
forearms : 12 inches
If anyone could give some instruction on how do measure things like chest, shoulders etc. i'd be greatly appreciated.
Routine looks like this
SUNDAY - LEGS
Leg extention on machine
Deadlift
So, as you can see leg day is severely lacking.
feel free add in some exercises.
MONDAY - CHEST/TRICEPS
close grip bench press 3x8-12
Tricep pulldown - 3x 8-12
standing dumbbell tricep extention 3x8-12
Bench press 3x8-12
WEDNESDAY - BACK, BICEPS
Latpulldown on machine 3xfailure (its a machine I have at home and I'm using all the weight on there. I use the machine instead of pull ups because im too heavy to even do one..or too weak, whatever.
Hammer curls 3x8-12
Preacher curls 3x8-12
Reverse curls barbell 3x8-12
As you can see this day is lacking a bit in back exercises so I need help on this one also.
FRIDAY - SHOULDERS
Millatary press 3x8-12
Upright row 3x8-12
lateral dumbell raise 3x8-12
shoulder shrugs 3x8-12
Now onto the diet..the trickier part for me...
I dont really have a structured and strict diet. However I eat tuna can after tuna can, have two scoops of whey, eat oats like I should be, and eat about half a dozen eggs mixed with milk oh and i drink milk alot too. Try to eat as much meat as I can get my hands on.
So yeah, not the best diet but I eat all those things in large quantity.
Not sure what else I can add but if anyone here can help me out i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Theres more to bodybuilding than just simply lifting weights.
Mind over matter.

In my opinion(dont have to follow it-just advice): you should definetly add in squats if you can, like he said front squats too if you dont have a rack.. even light weight is better than nothing at all. If you are deadlifting on leg day, make it straight-legged deadlifts, and do regular deadlifts on back day. just make sure those aren't back to back or your hamstrings and lower back will be crying.Also if you can add leg press, thats a great alternatitve to squats too. I would do all of your compound movements first in your workouts.. for example on leg day: do squats, leg press, straight-legged deadlifts, then if you have time finish off with some higher rep isolation workouts like the leg extension or leg curl. Compound movements build the muscle alot faster than isolation.
Alot of people do chest/shoulders/tris together,thats your choice, but if you do that.... make sure you dont go overboard and workout for hours and hours. I follow the compound exercises first for every day.. so for chest/tris do all your chest workouts first(i prefer incline over flat btw) and if i do flat its always with dbs. those are going to do the most damage so get them done first. then move on to your isolation workouts for the triceps like the tricep pushdown. you'll find that once you do 2-3 pushing movements for chest;your triceps should be pretty dead by then-at least thats what happens for me. they are pre exhausted.
For back and biceps... i would put deadlifts there(if you are doing them)and some type of row(bent-over, t-bar, machine,etc.)once you get strong enough on the lat pulldowns.. pullups are great. i stick to pull ups, deadlifts, low pulley row and one other type of row(different each time) in my back workouts.And again isolation movements all at the end so once you finish off your back workouts, move on to curls.
Diet is sometimes the hardest part... i trained for months without worrying about my diet just eating as much as i could and saw gains. but thats when i first started ha. best thing i can say is eat as clean as you can, in the long run youll be happy when you dont have the extra luggage. carbs before and after are important.
Again this is just advice.. what ive read, and what ive done. im no expert but i know a decent amount. holy **** i typed alot what the f . hope that helps.
