New to forum - Need 'opinion'on workout

Souljah · 28-07-2005, 12:21 AM

Hello everyone,
I am one of those people with an extremely high metabolism rate.
I am about 5"7 and weigh only 55KG.
I have been weight training on/off for about a year, but only for the past month i made a membership with a gym and am currently working out 4 days per week.

MY WORKOUT:
DAY 1: Chest & Lats
Day 2: Shoulders and Biceps
Day 3: Triceps and Back
Day 4: Legs
(sometimes add another day FITNESS cardio)

I workout an average of 90mins each day.
I have been told if i want to gain weight and bulk up i should concentrate on higher weights consisting off between 6-8 reps. I have been trying this and it works well for me, what do you think?
Also, I am currently stuck on 60KG benchpress, what would you advise me to do?
I am extremely cutt up at the moment so want to just concentrate on BULKING UP.

Souljah if i was you i would do

Day1 - Chest/Bi's
Day2 - Quads/Hams/Calfs
Day3 - Back/Tri's
Day4 - Shoulders/Forearms

You say you have a fast metabolism so there is no need for cardio, especially if your looking to bulk.

90mins workout imo is to long also, try keep it down to 45-50mins. Your weights will go up just give it time, don't worry about what weight your pressing just keep the excercise strict with good form.

Get plenty of sleep and EAT EAT and EAT more

Good Luck and Welcome to the board
