Am I on the right path?

[LionzHeart]

Hi all,

Yes I'm new on here and I've only been going to the gym for roughly under 3 months now. There is a lot of information to digest and take on board, especially when you have people at the gym telling you a multitude of different things. So, I thought I would "brave it" and post my pictures and my work out and ask....Am I on the right path? do I need to change anything?

Chest/Triceps:
Flat Bench
Incline Bench
Decline Bench
Incline Dumbell flies
Incline dumbell press, Alt - Isolated one arm dumbell press
Dips
flat bench dumbell tricep ext
cable overhead tricep ext
Vbar push down
reverse grip tricep cable push down

4 Sets, 8-10 Reps.

Back/Biceps:
Dead Lifts
bent over T Bar row
flat bench one arm dumbell row
wide grip lat pull down
seated cable row
Hammer curl alternating
barbell curl
Preacher curl
crossbody hammer curl

4 Sets, 8-10 Reps

Shoulders/legs:
Alt Delt raises

not looking to get huge, just Aesthetically fit and appealing, I work through that program doing those exercises twice a week, Resting on Sundays. Any helpful points? tips? dos or donts would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Holy mother of volume batman. You really dont need that many exercises, it wont make a difference. Cut a few out that use the same muscles

But really in the end if thats whats working for you, keep going.

[LionzHeart]

What exercises should I be cutting out for example? too much chest? biceps? etc etc. Should I just focus on one muscle group per day?

hello friends,

first of all your pics are very good. ı suppose last one is "before pic". you should keep going but ı suggest bodybuilding.com programs like kris gethin 12 week. ı dont know which of them unnecessary or excessive but exercise number is too much

[LionzHeart]

Thanks mate, Yes I should have labelled them as before and after. I will check out Kris Gethin 12 week program, cheers.

Really good stuff bro, but as said above it seems volume of exercises is a bit high. That's not necessarily a bad thing, its just that if done right, lesser volume can be a lot more effective.


My recommendation. 3-4 times a week, 2 groups per day, 3 exercises per group, 3 x 8reps, lift as heavy as you can.

This - you shouldn't train any muscle group - apart from abs or calves more than 1 x per week. just do 3 exer per bodypart and 3 sets per exer... you're overtraining at the mo and will see improvements by training less volume
