    Oush's Road To Success!

    Right, first of all id like to introduce my self! Im new to this forum. Im currently 18 years old and @ college studying Business Studies, Economics and ICT. Iv been training seriously for around 2-3 months now and im just coming back from a 2 week break as i hurt my back.

    I currently weight at 15.5 stones (220lb) and 5'8. My idea weight would be 13-14 stones really so i havent got much to loose . Iv added to body pics of me, as you can see it aint good is it! Right my routine will follow something like this:

    MY aim is to cut down and gain mass!

    Day One Chest
    ---------------
    Dumbell Chest Press
    Inclinde Dumbell Chest Press
    Butterfly (Machine)

    Day Two Back
    ----------------
    Pulldown (Machine)
    Upper Back (Machine)
    Lat Pulldown

    Day Three Legs & Shoulders
    ---------------------------
    Leg Extensions
    Leg Press
    Seated Leg Curl

    Dumbbell Shoulder Press
    Standing Dumbbell Upright Row

    Day Four Bicep & Tricep
    ----------------------------
    Alternative Hammer Curl
    EZ-Bar

    Lying Triceps Press
    Triceps Pushdown

    I know certain excercises are missing such as deadlifts and squats! Ill be adding them in as soon as i buy a belt which should be next week or the week after! Ill also be trying to do 1 hour of cardio EVERYDAY! Current supplements which im taking are:

    Anabolic Xtreme Rampage
    Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey

    Unfortunatley i wont be able to train for four days as i went and got a tatto yesterday i was told not to lift any weights for at least four days, so ill just be working my legs and doing cardio for the next four days and ill be posting here writing how it went etc etc.

    I dont want to be mean whatsoever, just helpful.

    I would scrap pretty much your whole routine. You are doing things that are more for celebrities and things like that do. Basically things that wont exactly make you a mass monster. I will rewrite it and let me know what you think.

    This program is going to be 3 days a week. Mon, Weds, Fri.

    Monday
    Back and Biceps
    DB Rows-3x8-12
    Pulldowns-3x8-12
    Cable Rows-3x10
    Bent over Laterals-3x10
    Bar Curls-3x10

    Weds
    Legs and Lower Back
    Squats-4x8-12
    Stiff Leg Deadlift-3x8-12
    Walking Lunges-3x20 (steps)
    Hyperextensions-3x10-20
    Calve Raises-4x10-20

    Fri
    Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
    Bench-4x8-12
    Incline-3x8-12
    Butterflies-3x8-12
    Side Raises-3x8-12
    Skull Crushers or DB Extensions-3x8-12

    Man just trying to get away from machines as much as possible. Free weights are much much better!

    BTW-Do abs 1-2 times a week to strengthen your core!

    If your lower back being hurt is the problem simply do some leg presses instead of squats until you get your belt. And as far as Stiff leg deads go just go light on those. Theres really nothing that can replce those! They are crucial to fantastic hams.

    Now my other piece of advice is do some cardio for 2-3 days a week on your off days as well.

    You could do an upper/lower split. 2 upper body and 2 lower body workouts each week. Check the stickies.
    M/Tu/Th/F or M/W/F + 1 weekend day. And BTW, you don't need a belt to squat or deadlift unless you have back problems.
