Hello everyone,
It's Vincenzo and I'm writing from Italy. I decided to sign up to this bodybuilding forum because I don't like Italian ones: everyone was rude with me, maybe they didn't like beginners. I hope that my experience with you'll be far better. Now, I'm going to tell you my little story: I'm 16 but I look so much older, about 20-25 I've always had a normal physique (neither fat nor muscular) and I have thick bones. About 5 months ago I decided to stop track and field (is it the correct word to say the sport which includes running, jumping etc. ?) to get in shape. When I started, my data were:
5' 89" 152 lbs 12% b.f. (178 cm, 69kg)
after 4 months my data are:
5' 89" 161 lbs 10% b.f. (178 cm, 73kg)
+1,5 inches on arms
+1 inch on thighs (not a good difference but my legs is the place where fat is accumulated. I've burnt a big part of it)
+1 inch on calves (not proud )
Every measures were taken in the middle point of every muscles but calves. Remaining measures are still negligible, damn. I could see very apparent results since I started but I want make sure that I'm on the right way. Could you help me? I'm not having a clear diet, but I've revised my proteins, carbs and fats intake. Now I'm going to post my workout routine.
I go to the gym three times a week and I do ABA BAB split for mass.
(Example: name repsxsets restinsecond)

Bench press 3x8 120s
Dips 4x6 60s
Cable cross over 3x12 30s
Squats 3x8 120s
Leg press 3x8 90s
Calf raises on leg press 4x10 60s
Leg curls 2x12
V-bar pushdown 3x8 90s
Bent over triceps push down 2x12 30s

Pull ups 4xmax 120s
Deadlifts 3x6 120s
Lat pull down 3x6 90s
Dumbbells rowing 3x10 90s
Lat pushdown 2x12 30s
Shrugs 2x15 30s

Lateral rises 2x12 30s
Dumbbells curls 3x8 90s

Thanks for you answer.
My legs are far bigger than chest indeed I'm focusing on working it when I'm still fresh: during this months (about 2-3 months spent trying it) I had some difficult working the chest because I wasn't able to use the dumbells for chest presses. After, I've learnt the technique for bench press and it has become one of my favorite exercises (and I can finally feel my chest working). Dumbbells presses are still my enemies.
In spite of the volume, I work with low weights and it's working. The only w.o. where I often go in buffer is the B, especially for the shoulders. Military press is a killer! How would you change it? (Both B and shoulder workout)
I need to say that when I started my calves were 0. Seriously, they looked like twigs.
Would you change something?
Thank you.Last edited by vij4; 03-29-2015 at 04:16 AM.
