This. First day ever lifting I did SS, then quickly moved to a split.Originally Posted by WinterWoIf
Before I was lifting though, I did pushups, pull ups, and situps daily, and I'd run 5 miles at a time.

Started with a regular bodybuilding split from Arnold's encyclopedia back a little before August. It was fun, but b1g thankfully steered bitter away from that.

My first day consisted of doing 20 mins of cardio to warm up, 21's because my friend had just learnt that exersise, and a few db chest presses.

My first routine:
Monday - Arms
Tuesday - Chest
Wednesday - Shoulders
Thursday - Back
Friday - Legs
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Arms
Monday - Chest
And so on.If you spend all of your time thinking about what could have been, much more than what is, you eventually realize that what is could have been much more.

I switched to a push/pull to get stronger for a bit. I'll be switching back to a split when I add 150lbs total to my b/s/d. Then I'll stay on the split until I get as big as I can, and that should hopefully do it.Originally Posted by ericd8

I went in at 16 with enough information to train semi-professional athletes. Is that a noob?

Never had a routine to start with, did like 5 machines over and over again for a month or so, then added bicep curls haha. Went to a shtty gym, was more of a fitness suite (ie, 6 machines, DBs up to 20kg, one bench and a few treadmills) so never really learned from anyone else's routine.
Then did some reading online and did some split, saw good gains for a bit then they slowed down. Still missed out a couple of bodyparts completely.
Then joined a good gym and started doing a really good split.
Yep, fo sho I was a right gym idiot. Wasn't that bad for the environment I was in tho.
