Ok guys I have my diet worked out. Now the hard part is training. On an increased bulking diet without taking gear, what kind of workout frequency should I plan? I was thinking 3 1-hour sessions per week. Also, I live in Chicago and have a membership at Bally's that I haven't used since 1990. I want to do heavy compound exercises like squats, deadlifts and benching. Do they have trainers that can help me with form, or do you know anyone in my area that could advise me? Thanks again,     | ||

I can't speak for Bally's but with respect to your reference to compound exercises and a 3-day split, that's a good starting point. The traditional routine below is something to consider for the "non-enhanced." Day 1: Chest/shoulder's/tri's Obviously cardio and additional isolation work inserted where you deem appropriate to meet your objectives (proper dietary program & sleep patterns are a given). As far as set/rep count, that's something you will need to adjust based on how you respond to a given routine. Regardless of body type, I would suggest going reasonably "heavy" once you re-acclimate your body to the stress. Lastly, building your routine around the movements you mentioned is "dead-on" IMO.

Yes there are plenty of trainers to help you at Bally's in Chicago. They can give you a whole routine and go through it with you. ------------------ | ||

The problem is, the last time I went to any of them for advice, none of them could even tell me where the soleus muscle is. I need someone to show me proper form, which 3 out of 4 people in the gym do not seem to know anything about. Squatting and deadlifting are my 2 major concerns. | ||

1911 is dead on with his routine. Add traps to day 5 and you are all set. ------------------ | ||

First of all I don't wanna start off my flaming you but, how could you have a membership for so long and not use it and waste your money that way!!! Ok, if your looking to bulk your best bet is low reps with heavy weight, but if you say you wanna work on your form (which is a good factor in bulking up) you're gonna have to start of with light weight until your form is up to par. Honestly if you don't have anyone to help you on your form, observe others in the gym and when you're working on a particular body part, just try to isolate it, if you can't feel that bodypart sore or overworked while you're working out of afterwards then you're doing something wrong. mon - chest, tri's (bench, skullcrushers) I wouldn't worry about deadlifting too much, that excercise is for lifting competitors and can easily hurt your back if your form is not good. Wish you the best and stay consistant, that's the biggest obstacle you have to overcome. | ||

Thanks. Deadlifts, squats and benches are going to be the foundation of my program. I want to learn to do them all correctly from the beginning when I am using light weights. I've had a Bally's membership since 1990; it was a gift and my monthly dues, which has never gone up, is $4. | ||

Myomorph you have the right idea and your intentions are good but c'mon man...you've gotta figure out some things for yourself. The reason most everyone's routines look different is because not everything works the same for everyone. Go to the gym and get situated for 3-5 months and by then you should be able to figure out what is working for you and what isn't. ------------------ | ||

I am fairly certain I have a good program on paper now. I need someone to coach with proper form on the olympic lifts. Are there any websites that help with this? | ||
