Hi therea bit about myself: i usually weigh in at about 147lb, but with the stresses of divorce etc last year, i dropped to a low of 136lb (ex wife pointed out that i looked like i had lost weight). This was in october, so november, i set about getting myself back on track.
I train in tae kwondo twice a week(tues/thurs), so november i joined the local gym and get in there once to twice a week as well(sun/wed). my routine generally goes along the lines of:
10 minute run on treadmill
dumbell curls 3 x 8reps
leg extension 2 x 8 reps
high pulley 2 x 8 reps
leg flexion 2 x 8 reps
seated rows 2 x 8reps
incline press 2 x 8reps
lateral arm lift 2 x 8reps
horizontal press 2 x 8reps
leg press 3 x 8reps
takes me just over an hour. if i find im able to do 10 reps then i up the weight a notch. most of these are machine based exercises rather than free weight.
i increased my calorie intake, using a weight gainer (atlas superweight gainer) to supply 2400 of the approx 4000 calories a day that i take in. wg in morning (800 cals), snack (eg.sandwich) mid morning, wg at lunch, meal mid afternoon, wg early evening, meal evening.
i am now at 158lb's and have been for a few weeks now and it feels as though i have come to a halt there. I'm trying to reach a target weight of 168lb's.
i'm 31 years old, 5'11 with 10.3% b/f. Should i be thinking about changing my routine/nutrition just yet? or keep going with what i'm doing at the moment and be patient?
many thanks for your time and i look forward to hearing your advice![]()
