Fellow Trainees, Opinions?


Right, im workin hard, eating relatiely big, not a fan of fat gain!

Training 6 days a week: I hit bi’s, calfs and traps twice a week, i feel they are my weak areas.

Monday:Chest & Bi’s
Tuesday:Back & Traps
Wednesday:Triceps & Calfs
Thursday:Biceps
Friday:Shoulders & Traps
Saturday:Rest
Sunday:Legs & Calfs

Brekfeast: 1 & 1/2 scoop optimal nutrition whey + 75g porridge ( 1 fish oil cap and a multivitamin)

meal 2: 130g chickhen/turkey/salmom + 100g whole wheat pasta + and broccoli ( 1 fish oil cap)

meal 3: 4 whole eggs + 100g w/w pasta + spinach

meal 4: (mostly on golf course) 1 &1/2 scoop protein and an energy bar (1 fish oil cap)

pre work out: 1 scoop protein

During session: sip on creatine

post work out: 2 scoops protein & 15g glucose powder + 100g pasta

before bed: 1 & 1/2 scoop protein 1 spoon peanut butter and 1 fish oil cap

I cook all my pasta that im eating for the day in the morning and i add two tea spoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Any thing you see that i could improve please let me know. Thanking you in advance :slight_smile:

legs

arms

Front

Love the hair. Extra 3 for that. Looking good man. Keep up the good work. What is your specific workout like?

Do about 4 different exercises per muscle. 15 sets max and rep range 8-12… I seriously hammer my muscles.

eg. Back:

Chin ups x3 (failure)

Seated rows x4 90kg

Wide grip lat pulll downs x3 80kg

Bent over row x3

One arm rows x2 30kg

Tri’s:

Dips (20kg plate on belt) x5

Close grip bench x3

Cable skull crushers x3

Kickbacks x2

Biceps are lagging, but other than that good job. Nice back defintion…pretty ripped overall.

you’ve developed a decent foundation. that’s good and something 9 out of 10 people who post here haven’t even managed to do so just keep trying to make forward progress. you’re going in the right direction…thus far.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

While the OP has a good base for what I assume his age is, he is still small. His biceps aren’t lagging. You don’t have lagging body parts when you weigh 160 lbs.

PRETTY GOOD MAN KEEP IT UP.

Well in comparison with the rest of his body they just seemed small. Especially because of the size of his triceps.

Cheers man.

I totally agree with you. Im working real hard to bring my biceps on, i train my biceps with same intensity as anything else, however for some reason there are behind in terms of development in comparison with my other muscles.

It was only last week that i dedcided to hit them twice a week.

My original bicep day looked like this:

Gironda Curls x3

Zotan Curls x3

Single arm cable curls x3

(by now my bi’s are completely smoked)

I may do hammer curls x3

** Now on monday im doing:

Incline dumbell curls x5

cable curl x 4

Anyone with advice on how to bring on the biceps, it would be so appreciated

:slight_smile: Traps were lagging , they’ve come on a hell of alot in the last month &1/2.

It seems your back is a bit behind. On your back workout try moving the chinups + failure to the end of your workout and start with something a bit heavier.

How many chins can you do by the way? Random question.

Fresh first off i can do 14 perfect chins

Thats a good point you made there. Starting with a heavier exercise could be good. The reason i do them first is because to do them at any other time is rather difficult (at the end of a session nearly impossible). I could use the assisted plate tho.

Thanks for input.

Well depending on how much volume you get that may be enough for your back. You should do a search for the sets and reps guidline article. I follow that mostly and it has seemed to work pretty well. Taking it to failure is probably hindering any strength gains youre getting. Just IMO which probably isnt worth much.

III do some reading on it later… Thanks :slight_smile:

C’mon, it seems like you’re just going for the knee-jerk “T-Man” reaction. 160’s not bad for 5’7", and the dude’s obviously put in some work. I think he needs more advice than “just get bigger”.
