It is a great board, isn't it? Remember that you should at least have 3-4 years of serious training under your belt (before AS) because you will waste your money if you don't. The training schedule differs from person to person, but 4-6 days a week is optimal. When you reach a certain level, training 1 body part a day becomes the most effective. The trick is to destroy that body part with your workout. Another option is to do 2 body parts per day twice a week. I change my training schedule up every 6-8 weeks to keep my muscles from getting used to my workout. Jon ------------------ IP: Logged |

Im not too much older than you are.I train 7 days a week. mon-fri I go insane in the weight room. Sat and Sun i spend doing alot of cardiovascular and arms for the girlies! I'll tell you right now that the best thing I ever did was getting on a good diet and following it. It costs some dough, but if you really want to get huge, its a small price to pay. If you want more info on the diet and supplements and "stuff" e-mail me. IP: Logged |

NateDogg03, The secret to getting big and strong is no secret at all. Lift with intensity. Even on the days you don't want to train (and it happens to us all, doesn't it?) forget that feeling and train whatever body part until it's exhausted. EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT. Then eat a little more. Lots of protein and carbs - carbs fuel your intense workouts. I like to throw in a short - 10 minute or less - cardio session before I lift - gets me a better pump - the blood is already flowing before I lift. Sleep is very important. At 18 you're partying a lot probably, but make sure to sleep enough. It will aid in nutrient breakdown and keep your energy levels up. You're 18 so you're body is making lots of testosterone - stay off the juice for now. Lift hard, eat big, sleep well and you'll see results. If you have more questions or want to talk about a program or supplements, email me. You'll get there bro. Matt IP: Logged |

OK bro. First of all there isnt any good secrets, its just plain hard work with lots of food and proper rest. You are only 18 so dont even consider gear until you get the most out of your endogenous hormones. At 18 your hormones are raging and you should be able to grow like a weed. This is a simple plan that takes lots of dedication to follow(especiallly the eating). On the training, i say no more than 3-4 days per week. I personally train every bodypart every 6 six days. You need time out of the gym to rest and grow. Dont underestimate this because it can make a world of difference. Dont feel as if you must be in the gym every day to grow cause that isnt the case. My favorite grouping of bodyparts is chest/back/traps, legs, and arms/shoulders, but you can work out many variations. Keep your workout to no longer than an hour. Perform exercises to failure in the 6-10 rep range. Keep a training journal so you will know what weight you are using with each set and exercise so you can constantly try to improve the workload placed on the muscles. Following your workout take in some high quality protein with a carbohydrate drink such as ultra fuel. Next you need to pick a time and weigh yourself, such as first thing in the morning after taking a leak. Get a calorie counter and keep track of every thing you are eating for a couple of weeks. Weigh yourself at the same time. If you arent gaining add 300-500 calories per day and continue doing this until you get an improvement in body weight. I would suggest you try to put your meals about 2.5-3 hours apart. I keep my nutrient ratios at 25% fat, 25-30% protein, and 45-50% carbs. Try to get 7-8 hour of sleep each night. This took me from a 120 senior to 230 pounds about 5 years later without gear. Get started and good luck. kpumpin IP: Logged |

I do a chest/shoulder/trap/tris***back/bis***legs abs routine. I mix in High intensity cardio a lot to keep you six pack on. always start out with a warm up set. then go heavy then go heavier then go so heavy you might push out 4 and kill yourself at the same time it goes kinda like this DAY 1 Chest Shoulders Tris Traps DAY 2 20 minutes fast treadmill (8-10mph) DAY 4 20 Minutes fast treadmill (8-10mph) DAY 5 Chest shoulders tris traps DAY 6 20 Minutes of fast treadmill (8-10mph) DAY 7 Legs Try this but you to eat every 2-21/2 hrs include some protein in every meal. Get your rest and let your teenage hormones take care of the rest. Don't skip any lifting days and you will see results very quick. IP: Logged |
