Hey I was just wondering if anyone had any good muscle building programs to suggest? I’ve tried quite a few but can’t ever seem to follow through with one I usually get pretty sick of it. I’m no idiot I know how to train and eat and rest and everything, and I like to think I’ve got some pretty decent lifts for 19 years old. (325 - bench, 405 - deadlift, 405 - squat). I’ve never taken anything other then creatine, vitamins, the usual, so could anyone help me out and suggest a good routine for building muscle? I’m at 225 now and I’d like to gain 10 pounds of muscle. Thanks.
Why don’t you just have a template? Pick a split that you like. Fill those days with a few of your favorite/most effective exercises. The amount will be determined by fatigue. Ramp up to a top weight and hit that weight for 1-3 sets of 5-12 reps. Up the weight when you’re at the top of the rep range. Switch out exercises if you feel there are more effective ones, or if you are stalling on weight increases on one.
Go to the beginner section of this forum. You will only get ridiculed and clowned on here. There at least people will answer your questions… Hopefully.
well what the hell.

I’ve gotten to my current state because I know what I’m doing when I work out. I wasn’t asking for tips to get big I was asking for a routine anyone knew that was effective I could try for osmething different. That’s all

We wont know if the routine is different if you dont share what you are doing now.

And you should be pulling considerably more than you are squatting. Have you used splits or TBT in the past?
Pretty much doing 4 days a week, random muscle groups whatever i feel like week to week.

Wrong answer, princess. Your specific routine really doesn’t even matter as long as you understand the basics. It does not matter if you trained chest on a Tuesday instead of a Friday…or did lat pull downs first this week instead of doing them second. Your effort is what is most important and frankly, bodybuilding is not for people who think the gym is supposed to be an amusement park.
If you are lifting for entertainment, you are in the wrong place.
I train in whatever way gets me to the results I want. You seem to NOT be doing this and instead looking for some new program just to be doing something different.
That is what “gen fit” people do…because their goals are ambiguous at best.

I hate to break it to you kid, but this game takes years upon years of the same shit, over and over.
If you get sick of routines quickly, maybe it isn’t the routine that needs the adjustment…
Actually, maybe your work ethic needs adjustment.
Cant really communicate with how you feel cause I havent felt that feeling before, even when being slightly overtrained.
Perhaps you should just take a week off, play some sports, get out there…dont even think about hitting the weights.
Get back at it with what people said above…a NEW split…get whats gonna get you strong etc.
Start on 5 3 1 by Jim Wendler if you want somethin that will actually work…unless you get bored with that after a couple waves…then your fucked.
What everyone is getting at is that jumping from program to program is a mistake. It will work for a while but you will never get to the next level. You will go around in circles mostly as you abandon one exercise for another… get stronger on the new one, go back to the old one and just regain strength you already had. You feel like you are always making progress because you keep switching every time progress slows down.
You just need to come to terms with that and then decide what is more importnt to you. Not getting bored with a routine or making progress to the next level.
This is all made worse by the fact that as long as you try hard the first few years of lifting, anyone will make progress. So everyone thinks they know everything.
