FlexMachine Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 5)	posted May 21, 2000 05:59 PM Alright, Im 17 years old and i like to think i know a little bit about BB. But let me know what you think of the routine. I do sets of 4 with 8 reps for everything. (going for mass at the moment) Day 1 Legs: Squats( feet pointed foward; shoulder width apart) Squats( feet pointed out; wider stance) Hamstring curls Leg extensions Calves: dumbell calve extensions Abs: (i have pretty good definition so i'm going for massive abs) heavy cable pulldowns hanging knee raises Heavy cable pulldown variation Day 2 Chest: decline and incline dumbell presses peck deck flat bench flyz variation Back: Wide and narrow grip pulldowns barbell bent over rowing one arm dumbell rows Day 3: Shoulders: front, side and rear lateral raises Biceps: narrow grips preacher curls wide grip preacher curls triceps: dumbell skullcrushers tri pulldowns narrow grip bench press Forearms: wrist curls reverse wrist curls Day 4: Rest Then i do the cyle over again.

StevieD Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 126)	posted May 22, 2000 07:31 AM Not bad - just a few things wrong in my opinion. Try doing 2 days on 1 off. Only a man full of juice can train each body part twice a week. Just do each part once. Try doing a big muscle with a small muscle. Allow more days between shoulders and chest because you hit the front delts doing both. Try this split. Mon- shoulders/bi/f/arms/abs Tue - quads/hams/calves Wed - rest Thurs - Chest/traps/abs Fri - back/tri/calves Remember - the key to getting big is to eat 7-8 meals a day (1gram of protein per llb of body weight).

Vovan Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 7)	posted May 22, 2000 08:26 AM If you will follow your program, you will overtrain soon. Remember: day - work, next day (at least) - rest. Forget about that stupid splits. If you wanna get BIG do something like this: mon 1.squat 2.bench press 3.pulldowns 4.crunches wed 1.overhead press 2.biceps curls 3.calves 4.crunches fri 1.squat (80% of mon weight) 2.narrow grip bench press 3.deadlift (c)McRobert Do 5 sets * 5 reps of each exercise except crunches. First 2 sets of each exercise are warming-up and other 3 - hard work. By the way you must increase weight of your barbells and dumbbells week to week so, that first week of your 12 weeks training cycle would be "light" and from 6th week your drills would be hard.

MrMuscle Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 259)	posted May 22, 2000 12:16 PM If you are looking for build and strenght i wouldnt go that way man. The routine ive posted below is the one i use. now im 21 years old, 6'2 and 233pounds. Its a great kick ass program, but i dont know for how long you have been training. i also have a couple of beginner programs if you wanna hear em.. I also would advice you to pick up some books and starte reading, the best way to building a powerfull body is to get information. Day1: Chest: Benchpress Incline dumbell presses Flat flyes shoulders: Seated dumbell presses Seated side raises Shrugs day2: Back/rear deltoid/calves: seated reverse grip pulldowns barbell rows dumbell rows rear deltoid machine hyperextensions standing calf raise leg press calf raise day3: cardio + abs day4: biceps/tricep (armageddon-program) frenchpress barbell curls pressdowns consentration curls overhead barbell extensions hammercurls wrist curls/rev. wrist curls day5: Legs: Legpress leg extension front squat stifflegged deadlifts seated leg curl abd./abb dag6: cardio + abs Right now im dieting down, that means half an hour cardo at 05.00 AM every morning ------------------ "Pain is only weakness leaving your body!" http://home.sol.no/~mrmuscle/ IP: Logged

FlexMachine Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 5)	posted May 24, 2000 05:01 AM Ok whose advice do i take. Everything i've read said to train each muscle group twice a week. And Mr.Muscle your routine is even more hardcore than mine, and you don't have any trouble with overtraining? So is my routine that i'm doing now too extreme or not? IP: Logged
MrMuscle Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 259)	posted May 24, 2000 06:48 AM there is no such thing as overtraining. not if you follow a good diet, sleep when u are supposed to sleep. The guys who claim they are overtrained are ususally the guys who are out all night partying and drinking. your body wont have time to rest then. And since i do cardio every third day, that becomes a kinda rest day for me. cuz cardio isnt supposed to have high intensity. ------------------ "Pain is only weakness leaving your body!" http://home.sol.no/~mrmuscle/ IP: Logged
FlexMachine Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 5)	posted May 24, 2000 07:37 PM I'm glad to hear that. I didn't think i was overtraining. Right now i've just been eating a tonne of protien. I'm not too worried about putting on fat because it doesn't seem to matter what i eat i don't seem to lose any definition. So what kind of diet would you recommend? And do you do for cardio? I've never done any because i thought i'd risk losing mass. IP: Logged
