i would have to disagree - yes it looks like a good routine for an experienced BB who already has a good core, but for a complete beginner who has never been to the gym in his life i think if they did that routine from the go overtraining would be an understatementS7yl3s said:I think this is a great routine and as a beginner you will notice a huge huge gain in the first year.

$loth said:How long does it take you S7yl3s? There's 3-4 exercises for each body part, I think this would be overkill for me. I'll try the one that I posted for now, but changet the rep's from 5x5 to 4x6 (core movements) and 3x8/10.
S7yl3s said:I train 5 days a week.
Back
Biceps & Triceps
Chest
Shoulders
Legs
Doesn't take long at all for me. Each workout takes about 45 mins. Except Shoulders takes 25 mins and Legs take 1 hour.
TRAIN HARD DON'T TRAIN LONG.
$loth said:That will teach me not to assume, I assumed you were doing 3 days a week...
I wouldn't be able to train 5 days a week, a 3 day split is the type that I want, and to spend an hour in the gym max, maybe 15 mins more.
$loth said:That sounds like my kind of thing![]()

$loth said:Here are some current stats:
Arms: 12"
Legs: 20"
Chest: 37"
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 147lbs.
I'm unsure about how big I would like to get, but to add on a couple of inchs onto my arms, and a few inchs onto my legs and chest would be great by the end of winter, so that I could do some cutting up.

First time back in the weights room today and I say it went well. I'm unsure about how much more I could deadlift, it was around 80kg, which I did for 4x6, I think I could up that more next week. Row was 20kg for first 2 sets, 22.5kg for the last, which is what I was at last time. Though more importantly i'm feeling it a lot more, my back was feeling it in a good way when I came out of the gym. Ontop, i'm feeling more enthused to get it right, my form, and even more to reach this goal!

There are much better ways to build strength and stamina without ever having to touch weights.

Some of you are over training .. great for overall fitness, strength and endurance but not for bulking. Be sure of your objective and keep sight of that.
