i am near finishing my third month of my workout regime.
i have made some decent, noticeable gains in my opinion.
i went from 175 to 190 without really counting calories but with the "bulking" mentality in mind; eating plenty of carbs and scarfing protein whenever available-atleast 100g a day. first two months used a regular whey protein with sporadic creatine use( and did not load). now using a weight gainer and creatine daily.
but now i want you guys to give me some constructive criticism/advice/tips on whether im doing it right or not before ive invested too much in an inefficiency.
here is my workout:
back/bicep(shoulders subsituted sometimes for back)
machine pulldowns 3x8 + burnout set
cable rows 3x12 + burnout set
barbell rows 3x5
deadlifts (occasionally..yeah)
bicep
chin-ups 3x8 currently with rep increase whenever possible
barbell curls 3x(5-8) once i can do 8 i add 10 lbs cause that is what is available in my gym
dumbell hammers 3x(5-8) once i can do 8 i do a 2.5lb/dumbell pound increment
dumbell curls ( same as hammers)
last workout varies between preachers or a bicep machine,usually a burnout
shoulders
pull-ups 3x till failure
military press 3x6
flys 3x8
chest and tricep:
chest
regular bench press3x5 + burnout set
incline bench 3x6 + burnout set
decline machine/bench press 3x8
pectoral fly machine 3x8
pushups 3 sets to failure
tricep
dips 3x10-15
close grip bench 3x6-8
skull crushers 3x8
kickbacks 3x10 usually superset with rope/tricep extension/tri push-ups
p.s: yes i do neglect legs; i am content with them,in other words, bottom heavy. also,i dont do forearms or traps as im short on time; same goes for legs.
thank you for your time; it is greatly appreciated.

Seriously guys this isn't a great routine for several reasons
1. HE DOSEN'T DO LEGS - you cant have a good routine without training legs simple
2. He sometimes swaps back for shoulders - back is one of your most important muscles neglect it and your in for a whole world of problems
3. He is doing the same amount for biceps as back. back is a major muscle group biceps minor. back needs more training.
4. He only does deadlift sometimes - this along with squat are the main lifts. The deadlift recruits the muscles from your whole body from top to bottom miss this and your loosing out big time, not to mention it is a very functional lift
5. He isn't getting proper target for all muscles in back.
Here are a few tips change everything. start on something like a legs/push/pull if your struggling for time or a full body. Second make sure that you are exercise bodyparts in the rite ratio. Back should have much more attention than biceps. And please start training legs or your in for even more problemsLast edited by murphy9050; 03-20-2013 at 08:12 PM.
