Hello everybody, I've been occasionally visiting these message boards for the last few months, hearing what you all have to say. I figured I should probably get as many tips as I can to help me get the body I want.
So anyway, here's a little info about myself.
I've been doing the same routine since I was 15...I lift for around 3 months, quit for 9 then do it all over again. Why you may ask? I'm sure many of you members have the same problem, it's hard to keep the routine. And once you stop for a month or so it basically sucks to get it going again, because you will be really sore and you will not be as strong as you were.
Ultimately the goal is to keep a solid workout plan and diet forever, but that usually is impossible.
Well, I'm 22, 5'8", 140-150 lbs.
I've been working out for the past 7 weeks.
I only go 2 days a week, I'll explain...
Monday - Chest/Bi's Wednesday - Back/Shoulders
...I don't do legs because I work at FedEx as a Package Handler(that alone is a pretty good workout), I'm too scared to get my legs all sore and have to run around during work...I know, I'm a pussy
Here is my normal workout:
Chest
BP -
10 reps / 135 lbs
8 reps / 170 lbs
6 reps / 195 lbs
10 reps / 135 lbs
Incline BP -
10 reps / 135 lbs
8 reps / 155 lbs
6 reps / 165 lbs
10 reps / 135 lbs
Nautilus Incline BP machine - I don't know what the weights are
10 reps
8 reps
6 reps
Nautilus Fly machine - same
10 reps
8 reps
6 reps
3 sets of dips - usually 10, 10, 20
Biceps:
Preacher bench -
10 reps / 75 lbs
8 reps / 85 lbs
6 reps / 95 lbs
Then I mix up 3 other exercises x 3 reps...I definitely get a good pump.
The only supplements I take is 5 mg creatine after a workout and the occasional protein shake.
My diet is not perfect, but it isn't so bad...I eat a lot of tuna fish, eggs, cottage cheese and meet. I also try to stay away from fast food, but sometimes you give in.
I will get to my back and shoulder workout in another post...I would like to get some feedback from some members.
Here are some pics of where I'm at now
Thank You
