My training, is it ok to build muscles?

west coast · 21-09-2004, 12:20 AM

Hi pals, Im new here and Im trying hard to improve my training. ive lost a lot of weight with a low fat diet. 3 months ago I started my training to build my muscles and get big.
mondays= chest, back and shoulders
tuesdays= cardio and abs
wednesdays=triceps and biceps
thrusdays=cardio and abs
fridays= chest, back and shoulders

Im not training legs at the moment because I want to get my upper body bigger than it is now. Im taking myoplex and myopro whey as my suplements. Im trying to eat , but I dont feel hungry at all, but Im trying my best. My arms are showing some improvement and I think I can do better if I eat more. what do you think pals? Am I doing it right? I really need some help here, thanks...

looks good to me,

i,d say do one bodypart per week.

and do ya legs, squats give you core strength in alot of other exercises,

if you dont do em youll regret it long run

how long you been training for?

cheers steve

I agree, You may find that this is overtraining and one bodypart a week is ample.

Or as you are starting out you may find that training your upper body on monday, lower on wednesday, upper on friday then the next week Lower body on monday, upper on wednesday, lower on friday is a great start to buiding a good base and will increase mass and strength.

But if you follow this only give each bodypart 3 sets in a workout i.e 3 on chest 3 on back 3 on biceps etc.

And I agree with leg training, It is a MUST for anyone bodybuilding. It will help icrease upper bosy strength as it is a big muscle group and produces alot of chemicals.

Im a beginner, sometimes I find it too hard to go on. I go to the gym and I look around all those big guys and I look at myself in the mirror, How long does it take to improve my body? I know its not easy to be in shape. Well, Ive lost a lot of weight, Im not fat and I was not fat before, it was only my belly, but anyway, Im 7 kg less than I was six months ago. Ive been training since june 2003, but I didnt take it too serious. This year I said to myself that I have to do better and Im really trying hard. im spending some money with my suplements that I find very important and I gave myself a free day, where I can eat some of my junk food. I keep on a serious diet monday to saturday , and sunday Im free but I just eat my favorite burguer king, and thats all. Thats it pals, thaks again, and I have my pics from when I started my work out and some from now, and I can see the improvements.Ill keep in touch because you knowm more than I do ,and I will follow your advice.

All those guys in the gym started somewhere. The amount of time taken to improve your body depends on the following

1. Your genetics
2. Your Total Calorie intake, and how these calories are made up
3. Your training, Finding a balance between over and undertraining.
4. Enhancing suppliments such as steroids or prohormones

There are other factors but you cant go wrong if you eat alot of calories with good quality lean proteins and great low glycemic carbs and DONT OVERTRAIN

Good luck, and keep up the hard work. It's hard to get there but once you acheive it you will be grinning form ear to ear and it's easier to maintain once you have it.

Good luck !!!
