My training goal is to build mass on my body. I wanna look kinda big not too big though. I’m 5’11" and 153lbs. Over the 5 months I did gain 13 lbs and little mass but progress is not that good. Yea I definitely wanna be up to 175-180lbs. And have nice upper and lower body.

not flaming you but do you really need 16 sets of bench press and 12 sets of curls?

Just saying there are other, more constructive things to do even on a bodypart split. What about dips on the same day instead of a variation of the bench? Just thinking out loud

1.) Unless you’re just starting out, do less volume for each muscle-group. I.e. do one exercise (i.e. 3 sets) of biceps curls, but do enough weight so that you don’t need to do 3 different curling exercises.

2.) You’ve got too much pushing (i.e. bench-press, overhead press, triceps-extensions, etc) and not enough pulling (Rowing, chin-ups, etc.) You should have a one-to-one ratio. Drop a few of the bench-press equivalents. Also, try doing weighted chin-ups/dips. You’ll get more bang for your time.

3.) Every workout should start with squatting or deadlifting. Working big muscles like your glutes, quads and hamstrings will stimulate your endocrine system to produce more growth hormone than working, say, your biceps. Its like free, natural steroids!

4.) You might want to think about switching it up to do more full-body routines, and not just 1-2 body-parts per day. I.e. go for squatting/benching/pressing on one workout, then deadlifting/rowing/curling

I am going to beat a dead horse and say that you should focus more on the core lifts. It looks to me like you have a lot of auxiliary lifts in this program. I think you should look into CW’s 10x3 program or Dan John’s OLAD program. You said that your gains are stagnant, so you need to try something different. I picked these two because they seem to be totally different then what you are doing.

Instead of spending all the time multiple lifts, you should really take your time to perfect the core ones. If you want me to help you more, PM me. BTW, it requires A LOT of work to be gain weight and become huge. So get in the mindset that you want to be huge and when you reach your goal, you can change things.

Hope I helped

Could someone point me in the right direction(linky?) to CW’s 10x3 program? I want to build mass and I like the sound of 10x3. Thanks

GO ILLINI!

You want mass then look at the mass builder excersises like weighted dips instead of scull crushers…here check it out
