Also, my biggest problem appears to be chest.. any help for this would be greatly appreciated..



Posted by: soxmuscle

what exactly is the problem with your chest?



Posted by: Freak O Nature

its the least developed part of me, and I like always do chest excersises too and I dont get whats goin on.. Thats what I want to be my main focus..

Chest and getting cut, thats all I am worried about now because I have the size and definition, just gotta bulk the chest and then get cut up

Whats up bud? Welcome to IM. I'll be following your journal b/c it has a cool tittle....

You might be overtraining your chest....we'll see what happening after you start to post a few workouts, diets etc..

It's not about doing chest excercises as often as you can. its about working your chest hard, and working your chest properly. Lets see your routine and everything.

Ide really like some help with a good routine to start doing..

I am pretty strong and defined by what I do on my own.. but when I go ot workout I get in there and im like.. "hmm, alright ill do bench" then ill do it, and then decide to do like curls and then maybe chest press..

I just bounce around doin whatever..

So some help with a good way to get on the right track would be great, especially since I am starting this tomorrow

first you should get your days prioritized. you should look into setting aside days in which you hit different muscle groups. you'll find by glancing through journals that people workout 3, 4, or 5 times per week. I have chosen four, but many people see great results with three or even five.

So whats it gonna be?



Posted by: Freak O Nature

I think 3 - 4 times a week would be best for me

There are some good journals to check up on. I'd suggest checking out Duncan Donuts' journal here: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...ad.php?t=35277

ok here is something that I am going to piece together from gwcaton's journal I hope he doesnt mind that I am going to be modeling my workouts after his but I am really not too sure how to get this started and his seems like something I am going to be able to do..

Goals - The first and most important thing that I want to do is to be able to get more definition and size in my chest. Also, I can see my top 2 abs, and then the middle two abs, but I cant see the bottom too. So I am going to have to get some sort of running routine to try and get rid of the excess fat that I have on the bottom layer.

Diet - I am going to have to play this one by ear because I am not at the liberty of eating whatever I want but I am going to do my best to make it all that I can.

Workouts - I am going to make my two lifting days Tuesday and Thursday while doing cardio on Monday Wednesday Friday. As of right now I am gonna have the weekend off but that may change over time.

Tomorrow will be my first day starting, so hopefully I will have some good news to report back

I also need to copy down how he eats, so I can somehow mock that to what I can..

Meal 1
2 egg whites
1 whole egg
1/3 cup oatmeal w/ scoop of protein pwdr
Banana
22 oz water
Meal 2
16 oz Protein shake

Meal 6
