Shaping Up My Workout for Mass

Alright so I’ve been on the forums since whenever, and I’ve been “working out” since 07 sept. or oct. with SOME form of real weights (not 10lb dumbells) and only been serious since recently. I weigh in at 169lb as of today at somewhere around 5’8 or 5’9. Since 07 I just wanted to lose weight (was at like 5’6 or 5’5 at around 210lb.) And after losing a good amount of it, I wanna get into gaining more weight and right before summer I wanna cut (even if its too early) so i can have some fun over the summer ;).

I can workout all 7 days a week, and being 15 (turning 16 this oct) I can easily handle a lot of workload with easy recovery. I sorta believe that i’ll work how much and whatever i feel like. If i feel like doing a certain amount that day, I’ll do it, and thats why i dont keep a certain fixed excersizes for each day.

Currently:
Monday - Push (chest, tris, shoulders)
Tues - Pull (lats, traps, forearms, biceps)
Wed - Legs
Thurs - Push
Fri - Pull
Sat - Legs
Sun - Cardio

For push i do dumbell benches, flies if i feel like it, pec deck, military press, tri pushdowns (on the machine) and whatever else im in the mood for for about 5 sets of around 8 reps. Bench with 40lb dumbells, rest isnt relevant.

For pull i do rows, pullups, curls, wrist curls, bent over rows, and w.e else. Pullups i cant do yet on my own (only 2 or 3) so i use assisting machine. Dumbells used for rows (where u got a leg up on the bench, forgot name) is 35s or 40s.

For legs i cant do a FULL squat yet (balence issues) and im working on it right now, on my form. I cant risk a few hundred pounds on my back when i cant even have the form down, so until i get that right im sticking to hack squat machine, where i finish at 250lb for 10 reps (as low as the seat goes, and till the plates touch, which is PAST PARALLEL and almost ATG). The rest is just B.S. Isolation work. I dont do calves (fat boy calves at 17" or something i dont remember)

Im trying to put in deadlifts (currently working on form for this aswell, so I use 135lb for an easy 10 reps, can probably go past to like 185 if i need to). Im planning on putting these in for the 2nd leg day instead of the squat machine.

Cardio days i just wanna run to get my UNBELIEVEABLY LOUSY endurance up and to lose a bit of weight while im at it.

I need some help with this, to shape it up more nicely. Im looking mainly for mass right now. I’ll post pics if requested.

I eat when im hungry. For now I eat what i wanna eat as long as it isnt TOO bad for me. The healthiest stuff i can buy at lunch is a tuna or veggie wrap, or pizza, seriously. Breakfast i was used to skipping but im starting to drink a shake (milkshake or protein, either one) to atleast wake me up. I eat after i get home (6 or so) and usually eat whatever is cooked but my mom will cook healthy foods (like when i wanted to lose weight) and still does. I eat a dinner at like 9 or 10 and usually also something mom cooked. I can get any supplement needed IF i need it but i’d prefer to stick with protein shakes and fish oil every once in a while.

Supps i have(dont use most of them):
BCAA or w.e pills
creatine
omega 3 oils liquid (cant have fish oil caps, geletain in caps, religious reason so this is next best thing)
Protein (GNC)
some calcium thing

All constructive critisism accepted.
(will edit if i need to in the morning, sleepytime right now byebye)

bump? LOL

if you want to get bigger a more traditional split might work better

ex. chest/triceps
back/biceps
shoulders
legs/calves

pick some exercises

examples
bench press/incline press/tricep dips
pullups/bent rows/bb curls
military press/side laterals/db shrugs
back squat/sl deadlift/leg press/standing calf

if you have more energy at the end of your workout (which you shouldn’t practice on form for the different exercises with lighter weight.)

and pick a rep range like 6-10
ramp up to one top set for each exercise
and add reps/weight each workout

you can throw in your cardio every third day (which would otherwise be an off day)

oh yeah, and eat

like 1.5 g protein per lb bw
and carbs

but hey, what do i know, you can actually just read pretty much anything around here to answer that question? there are many way better than me to give this info.

This should be in the beginner section, but i’ll answer anyways.

  1. Its not too early to start cutting for summer.

  2. Since summer is approaching rapidly, and you are in need of gaining muscle and losing fat, you should try to maintain weight and lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.

I’d recomend finding a good program, eating clean and working hard at that.

I’d recomend WS4SB or EDT
