Missing squats, THE exercise! 2. Missing deadlifts, another quality exercise 3. It looks like a bit too much work to be honest 4. No triceps 5. No hamstrings 6. LOADS of chest in comparrison 7. No lat work 8. Little romboid (upper back) work when comapred the 105 sets of chest! 9. Wierd to break up the warmup like that. Just do 10-15mins rowing to warm your whole body. The cross trainer works your legs too, so why bother with the bike? I'll look again when my eyes arent bleeding :x :twisted: Fierce |

Do you think i should split into seperate workouts and alternate? ______________________ http://groups.msn.com/YourBodyYourTemple |

Try 2 exercises for each Bodypart, 4 sets each for large muscle groups and 2-3 for smaller ones. Also, concentrate more on the compound movements as suggested as these will give the most gains, especially in the beginner/intermediate stages of training as follows Squats Deadlifts Barbell Bench Press Wide Grip pull ups (or wide lat pulldowns) Shoulder presses Upright Rows Weighted Dips Also dumbell rows are a great mass bulider to add width as they IMO are the best exercise to develop your lats ______________________ 50% of Training is nutrition 50% of Training is not overtraining If you cant gain see the above. |

On my current workout im noticing gains in strength and size every day, so i will carry on as it is, but introduce some of the new reccomended ones such as deadlifts. Then in a couple of weeks i will revise it. I want to avoid squats because i have a damaged knee from my footballing days, and now it gets set off easily. Would those upside down leg presses u see at the gym be a suitable alternative? Thanks for the tips guys ______________________ http://groups.msn.com/YourBodyYourTemple |

Most of those are all new, particularly the bench press and the rows. When i say new i mean only a couple of weeks of doing them. Before that i was on the machines too much, which is why im much weaker then i should be. Also compared to you guys im a beginner! ______________________ http://groups.msn.com/YourBodyYourTemple |

You have to change that work out though go with zx9rjas's advice, its spot on as usual. Good luck fella and keep us up to date. :twisted: Fierce |
