This workout need any adjustments?

Ok that helps. all you really need man is a good protein for shakes to be completely honest. Your metab will be high and you test levels are on the rise. Which protein is the best is debatable it comes down to whats in it that your body really needs or is using. I would narrow it down to these two just bc out of all i used i just really like the price and effectivness. Big blast protein from protein factory is my top and wheytobuild from needtobuildmuscle.com, now they will also be putting out a good gainer protein in months to come. you can use the promo code needto139 to get a good discount on that protein. Other factors to consider is how well it mixes, do you need a blender, ect.. and taste. Big blast mixes like a dream and only comes in choco but tastes great even in water. Whey to build needs a blender and I personally hate it with water in milk though its delicious many flavors. On your off days you want to keep your protein intake the same to keep your self in an anabolic state you may not be working out but your muscles are still rebuilding and need that protein as well.

diet is somthing thats really hard to give exact advice on , budget , tatse time are all factors but you want protein.. i eat upwards of 2 punds of meat per day at a minimum. so fish of course albacore tune, salmon, ect. lean ground beef , ground turkey, baked chicken. These are going to likely be your staple. eggs are great sources of protein i eat 3 in the morning and 3 before bed all hard boiled. i was just introduced to the protein plus pasta barillia (prob effed up that spelling) so its a good carb to have for lunch/dinner. oatmeal i think is the easiest breakfast carb. cut your sugars, soda, and chips lol.... you want clean good foods this will promote energy and mood. veggies with lunch and dinner. sweet potatoes, green beans, pretty much anything minus iceburg lettuce and celery

How many shakes a day? If the only extra protein I need is from shakes I think I could easily manage that. Another one of my problems is I am not a fan of vegetables. Only fruits, and A LOT of fruits. Pickles are about the only thing I can stand to eat. How would this new diet look:

Morning:
Quaker Quick Oats with blueberries/strawberrys/brown sugar and coffee creamer?
Banana
Glass of Whole Organic Milk

Lunch:
Meat
Apple
Other fruit
Wheat roll/other type of whole wheat bread
Water

4:00:
Deli chicken on Whole Wheat bread with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese
Banana
Water

5:00-5:30 Workout

6-6:30
Meat
Pickle
Rice?
Water

Late:
Same oatmeal as before
and/or an apple
Glass of whole organic milk

Where do I throw that protein shake in?

you should do a program like Starting Strength (3x5) by Mark Rippetoe, or something similar. You should stick to the basics, no more than 2-3 times a week. Eat a LOT. Don't worry about putting on a little fat, your muscles will fill out and you won't look fat. I'm not saying eat junk all the time, but a couple McDonald's dollar menu binges won't hurt you. Try to focus on getting 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, and getting stronger in the gym.

You are joking right? I will never touch a fast food joint whilst working out. I always feel like I have to puke.

My program is a modified version of SS btw.

Workout:

The two days:

Monday,Friday
A
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Chins 15-20 <---- Not enough IMHO 25-40
Rows 3x5
Curl Bar 3x8

Wednesday,Sunday
B
Front squat 3x5
Military Press 3x5
Deadlifts 1x5
Skullcrushers 3x8

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?

I never do under 25 Pull-ups on back day bro. I'm lighter like you and 15-20 pull-ups is too easy for a light person ( no matter how many sets it takes you) . Plus your only doing low rep Rows.... Bump that shit up

Oh and dont forget Core, Delts, forearms, rotator cuffs they are important too.

I wouldn't recommend McDonalds for gaining muscle...

Because Taco Bell is better. Man up and put that shit down your throat. Take a twenty dollar bill to Taco Bell and don't leave til all the moneys gone. IMO crunchwraps give you the biggest bang for your buck. Seriously though, some of my best morning training sessions have been because I pounded down a couple of Big Macs before bed and woken up with lots of energy...

Not saying every day...but once a week or so wouldnt kill ya...

Exactly! This skinny 16 yr old kid shouldn't be worried about getting too fat. LOL! When I was 16 I was skinny as a rail too. Of course I was active as hell - I wasn't sitting on my ass all day playing video games (we didn't have cool games back then either though).

Whatever man. All I am saying is you should eat a LOT and OFTEN, and you should workout no more than 3 times a week (with weights). You do that with a good program like the starting strength, and you will gain 20-30 lbs in no time. Mostly lean muscle.

Trust me guys, I can gain weight pretty fast. I will do it by eating the right stuff though.

I am thinking of bulking up to around 185-190 and then cutting. Last few questions though:

How do I keep my stomach area from getting too fat? That is my problem area as my abs are barely showing and I have a little bit of love handles. I was thinking after squat and deadlift I could do some crunches, air bicycles, and such

Cardio? Should I do being some sort of cardio? If I do, would a punching bag suffice? I love MMA and wouldn't mind just doing some intense boxing/kicking/muay thai on it.

 

[lweaver]

I would keep conditioning work to a minimum...

And no, you are going to gain a small amount of bodyweight and your body is going to place that bodyfat wherever it is genetically predisposed to do so. Selective fat burning is a myth.
