21 and wanna lift every day...

[RickRock13]

At this stage lifting everyday will only hinder gains. 3-4 days max a week. You grow when your resting not lifting. You certainly dont need steroids at all. Food, food, and more food. If you keep this up your going to be overtrained and injured.

^This right here exactly.

Remember that you grow in the kitchen and while resting....not in the gym.

The two biggest problems that keeps people from growing is undereating and overtraining.

3-4 days per week is perfect if your training is set up right. If you want to work out 5-6 days a week, you need to keep the intensity down. High Volume or high intensity....you can only choose one. If you do both, you overtrain.. end of story.

I workout every day and work 10 hours a day, naturally I'm sure I'd be bigger if I went less but I need a way to vent my anger/ stress and aggression so I sacrifice size for the joys of hitting the gym...


Ride it like you stole it!!

Hit it spot on.. Shoot ive put on 60 pounds going 6-7 days a week. It all comes down to your genetics in my opinion!

Good point, would it hurt me if I only lifted upper body every other day and on my day off from lifting cycle/swim for a couple hours?

If you are doing the same body parts every other day, that is too much. No muscles should be worked more than twice per week IMO. You will not fully recover and hurt your growth potential and possibly overtrain

This^^^. And if you can train big muscles everyday that makes me question how hard your actually training. I did upper body last night and my entire upper body is fried. Theres is no way I can do it again until monday. Increase the intensity and you will welcome those off days.
