URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! New routine

SoulCard · 01-01-2007, 04:02 PM

well i havent posted in a while, but mostly cuz ive been a little busy in the desert and seaport as some of you know...anyway...what works for one will not necessarially work for another, but if i read correctly you want to get ripped up for the new year? cutting is a matter of cardio and dieting correctly in conjunction with steady lifitng...since ive been here ive been going with a one on/one off schedule consisting of chest& tris then back & bis then shoulders then legs...this give me two things...one it pre-exhausts my small muscle groups (i.e. bis/tris) and allows me to do about 6-8 sets (work sets) and realy hit them hard...second it allows me enough time for each body part to recover before i assault it again...there are a million routines out there so the best thing i can say is pick one and go for it for at least six weeks before you change it again...just be sure it allows you enough rest, enough work for each body part and it is fun for you...so many people quit their routine because they get sick of being in the gym or it just isnt fun, so make sure you enjoy it!...

cheers mate

Ive got a plan that im going to try to stick to now but im on the lookout for a top diet plan.

Im sat at my work desk with 4 wholemeal tuna sandwiches(no mayo) and a protein shake, and when i finsh work 3:30pm i shall be going home and having a banana and protein shake just before i go to the gym. as soon as i get back from the gym ill be havin 1 protein shake with a banana shortly followed by 1/2 a chicken with rice for my dinner. I will then have another protein shake just before i go to bed.

When i wake up ill have a protein shake, bowl of porridge/oats, with a piece of fruit. Mid afternoon snack will probly be an omelette (4 eggs) or afew boiled eggs with a protein shake. Then Dinner etc

All follows sort of the same pattern just changing the meals but always having a protein shake. then when i get to say june il try toning up.

Is there any good diet books for people wanting to get alot bigger(bodybuilding) that would include recipes and all that sort of thing

Many thanks for all help

p.s i dont want to get fat or a gut from monumental amounts of food.

do you reckon this diet is ok?

So monday you would pick 4 chest & 4 back exercises & go

Chest, Back,chest, back, chest, back, Chest, Back.

Three sets of each exercise will get you pumped to f**K!!
Follow the same kind of principle with quads & hams although maybe 3 quad & 2 Hamstring. i.e Leg ext & leg Curl; Leg Press & Stiff deadlift and finish off with lunges.
Friday do shoulders on their own first but do an isolation then a compund exercise back to back, finish with rear delts then do bi, tri, bi, tri, bi, tri.
Your arms will never have been as big & pumped. The exercise selection is entirely up to you but you could do this for a month & then go back to HIT.
Plus the supersets will help increase cardio-vascular efficency which will help you with you stamina on the football pitch.

With regards to the diet, just take a shaker to work with 3 or 4 meal replacement satchets and just try to be consistant in getting 2 a day into your diet ontop of the solid food meals. i've worked in offices where they won't let you eat at your desk but nearly everyone will let you have a drink at your desk.
Otherwise you may need a couple of "Toilet Breaks" that last just long enough to mix & drink a shake !!

Good luck

looks very intresting mate, will have to way it up.
But im a tad concerned that there are too many sets on each bodypart(overtraining)

But still looks manageable.

Thanks very much

RECKON THIS IS DUE TO ME MESCLES HAVING ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETLY HEAL PLUS STILL EATING THE RIGHT FOODS HAS HELPED.

WHAT YOU RECKON FOLKS

Clear sign of overtraing mate. When working out you are tearing ur muscles, when they repair they repair bigger to cope with that weight in the future. Sounds like u havnt been giving ur muscles chance to repair. Remember when working ur chest ur still doing ur tri's aswell and when u do ur back ur doing ur bi's etc.

Also eat more and eat more protien! If ur force yourself to eat even when ur not hungry ur body will soon get used to eating that certain amount and u wil start to feel hungry. Believe me this is the best way to put on wieght!

No mate this is the right amount of sets, maybe even less than i would do (not to contradict my previous post).

Rule of thumb: each set do 6-8 reps

Large muscle groups (chest,back,shoulders) do 4-5 exercises, 3 sets for each
Small muscle groups (bi's,tri's) do 3 exercises, 3 set for each
