You don't need 300-400 grams of protein!!! trust me. take 100-200g of protein. the only reason you would ever eat that much is if you weighed 400lbs or if you were a BB using AS AND on a ketogenic diet. Eat 40% protein 30% fat 30% carbs anyway... TRAINING. An easy mass building split would be to do all pulling muscles day 1 OR Back, Biceps, Traps as far as the exercises?? basic is as basic does: building mass. Reply again if your looking for a routine. | ||

Quite demanding are we? Want someone to write a routine for you? Most trainers charge for this! However, I'll write you an abbreviated routine for mass. First, prioritize your goals. Does your upper body need more work than your lower body? Vice versa? I really need more details if I was going to write a program for you. However, here's a simple split for someone not looking to put on a lot of lower body mass. Monday: Chest and Back For someone who wants to bring up legs that are lagging, something like this might be better: Monday: Quad Dominant Movements (Squat) You could throw abs and calves in whenever you would like. As far as actually designing a program listing each exercise, tempo, schedule with periodization, that would take me a while to gauge an effective one based on consulting with you. Obviously, you want to stick with compound movements. For Chest, Bench Press and its variations (incline, decline, db). For back, still with pull-ups and rows. For Bis, stick with standing barbell curls, hammer curls, reverse curls (there are a million variations. For Triceps, stick with dips and close grip bench presses. For Quads, stick with the squat and maybe throw in some leg presses. For hams, deadlifts and stiff legged deadlifts, maybe leg curls. For Delts, stick with pressing movements too to add mass.

Wow, I see a lot of the conventional training methods. Well, what else is new? If you want to gain good amounts of mass and avoid overtraining, I recommend that you look into High Intensity Training. You can get some good information and routines at www.cyberpump.com Good luck. ------------------ -HB- | ||

Ummm, the man asked for a routine regarding the basic lifts and I gave it to him. However, last time I check, HIT included the basic lifts. However, regarding HIT, most people (except for the notorious Mike Mentzer) will agree that one set for each bodypart isn't enought to thoroughly exhaust all the fibers of the muscle. If you are going to say, but Dorian did and look at him. Did you ever see an actualy Dorian Yates workout sheet? Well, he does a bunch of warm-up sheets for each exercise pyramiding up in weight. For incline bench presses, he would do 4 sets. One sheet in particular details 135, 220, 310, 425 weights in each set respectively. It's only a technicality however, that the first three are called warm-up sets. HIT, i believe, reminds me of Joe Weider. They basically copy things and smack it in their philosophy like they invented it. For example, Weider labels just listening to your body as "Weider Instinctive Training Principle." HIT takes stuff like "Training with proper form" and "use full range of motion" and "work to concentric failure". Most people just do this stuff anyway, but HIT decided to slap it as its own. One other thing: HIT doesn't advocating a split routine. Personally, I don't know of any bodybuilder that doesn't use a split nowadays, or even in the earlier times of bodybuilding (except for the crazy Mentzers). Genetic | ||
