Rows 3x5
Curl Bar 3x8

Wednesday,Sunday

Front squat 3x5

I need a way to incorporate abs into this workout as well as some other things. I have one of those leg machines at the end of my bench and to my knowledge, you can use it for an ab workout. I wouldnt say I am exactly trying to bulk up, as I am already a decent size at 165 (6'1), but get an in between ripped and bulky look. Any tips on this workout would be appreciate it. Also, do I need to worry about protein supplements right now?

Not a bad split go get started with in my opinion...

No offense but at 6'1" 165 you're a skinny dude. Ya sure you don't wanna bulk a bit, get strong and take it from there? Lean is fine if that's your thing, but you'll never look bulky without gaining a good 40 lbs or so.

My main problem is I don't wanna get fat, especially in my stomach area. When people talk about bulking up they usually also talk about taking in 4500-5000 calories which I am sure will include some fat gain. If you could give me some tips on getting me into the right direction lol.

Most people bulk up and diet down...that is the people that care about aesthetics haha. It's tough to get stronger and bigger without caloric excees, and some fat gain is inevitable.

Yea You Should Plan Out How Many Pounds Of Muscle You Want to Put On what your Target BF percentage is and Go From there and Possibly Design a Plan to Get there As Quickly As Possible..

If you lift right and eat a lot of hardy food, meat, veggies and solid stuff. Milk and water as your only liquids, no sweets. You do this on top of a compound lift based routine with heavy squats deadlifts and bench I can guarantee a few things:

- When people see you for the first time after you start lifting they wont say "Dude you got fat", they will say "dude you got jacked/ripped/huge"

- The little fat you put on will not be aesthetically bad, you will probably only notice it in slightly less defined abs.

- You can lose that whole skinny, tall, lanky but defined mentality and trade it in for big arms, wide back and a "holy F*** that kids a monster"


Your 6'1, 165 man, are you kidding me? You have the luck to be not only jacked, but tall. Gain some weight and put some meat on that scarecrow frame, once you make some gains you'll never want to go back. Oh yea, the girls will luv it.

I guess your right. A couple of questions though:

Should I start taking protein supplements? (I am not one of those stay slim because I have a good metabolism, I eat meats periodically but stay away from the junk food and other bad fatty foods + a lot of oatmeal)

Any other exercises I should incorporate into my workout? I was thinking an AB workout and calf raises.

So you are saying you could gain weight easily, but you choose to stay this skinny?

Or are you actually a hard gainer?

Also, you say you eat meats "periodically" - I assume you mean occasionally? Are meats mainstays in your diet? Do you eat meat every day?

 

[Acoustic]

Sorry, I was a bit tired when I posted that. I eat meats every day for sure, and I choose to stay slim by staying away from unnecessary sugar and junk food. I also drink water (or flavored water) for the most part.

So you have the food choices down, all you need to do is eat much more of those healthy foods.
