I have been doing this workout for a month now with some solid gains, about 6lbs, non of which is fat!. But all the muscle i am gaining is very dense and my measerments have not increased much.
I was wondering if somone could recomend a workout or a link for a workout with the goal of size and size only. I record what i eat and eat lots and only eat clean food. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated! Below is my workout and if there is anything you think would be benificial to add or change please comment. I do this workout two days on, one day break, two days on, two days off then repeat. Also everything is performed 3x12. Cheers.
Day 1
Cable rows
Lat pull down
Back extension
Bicep curls
Barbell curls
Wrist curl
Well worth the $, but it’s up to you. I highly recommend the Novice Program outlined in the book. Good luck. I can attest to it from personal experience; I had a female improve in a period of 4 weeks from:
It’s amazing how simple but effective basic linear progression can be with young/inexperienced lifters. Numbers are steady now (maintenance lifting) as she has decided to prepare for an upcoming triathlon but you get the idea here…
No real change in bodyweight either (5’6.5" 128 lbs.)
Looking at your workout im VERY skeptical. Dave Tate says it best with, “You CANT flex bone” Seeing that WO means thats all your pretty much trying to do, flex bone. Ok, what im trying to say is that you just started lifting, so you have no base of size or strength to work off of, so you cant isolate yoiur muscles for maximum stimulation.
Also, why would you want size and size only? wouldnt it be nice to look like you can bench twice your weight, and actually be able to do it? Not picking you apart boss, but im just trying to get it all into perspective.

If his goal is size and size only, I’d suggest just leaving the weights alone and concentrating on eating.
Big Macs, ice cream, and lucky charms should be the staples of your diet. The more you can handle the better. Personally, I think you should always have an extra Big Mac on hand for when you’re just sitting around. That’s a great time to get in an extra set. They come in those cardboard boxes so you can just through a couple in your backpack every day and eat them between classes. This is probably the best way to gain size while minimizing strength gains.
Or, if you disagree with my advice, you could read the stickies at the top of this forum.
