Thread: Newbie needs some help...

A bit about my workout routine. My workout bench.

4 times a week, 50 minutes each time.

Start off: situps: 40.

20 minutes: Various exercizes for chest.

20 minutes: Bench press/curls for biceps and chest.

End: 40 more sit-ups.

The same thing every time...while taking the above supplements. Am I missing something? When can I see some results? I'm extemely sore already (a week in) and can see massive amounts of veins flowing threw the concentrated areas.

Thanks for reading.

it seems like you have alot of drive, but don't waste all of that energy on negative results. Your body needs rest to grow. You should not work the same body part so much especially if it is still sore. And even if legs are not your major area of concern you should still work them out. This will help you gain mass and overall strength, which will help on every lift. Plus you will be glad later. Check out some threads on mass building workouts on the training section and stick to it. As far as supplements, at your age save your money and concentrate on a healthy real food diet high in protien maybe toss in a protien powder. And please please don't get discouraged and take pro hormones or steroids don't ruin your potential.

want muscle?eat like hell train through the pain get a variety of exercises in ur workouts nothing repetitive as far as supplements for getting bigger:creatine get a good multi in to fight free radicals and dna fragmentation

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I especially like the sig of the guy with a quote from Arnold. No better way to convert me, let me tell you that.

My legs are already pretty big. I played hockey and walk a lot. I will take your advice on them though.

The problem is that I eat a lot of french fries (in olive oil.) Also, I eat a lot of fast food 'cause it's the only thing avaliable where I work.

I'm going to start bringing tuna sandwiches.

My workout place is my home lifting machine with a bench, bar, weights. I'm limited in what I can do methinks.

Thanks for the help again.

Now why would you go and run some fairly decent advise, with your last sentence which was an ignorant, baseless statement used as a scare tactic?

sorry TP I just see alot of my friends that want results too fast and start relying on synthetic products before they get a good grasp of what will keep them big and healthy for life. I am not saying azura should never use these products, but with his frame and age he can accomplish alot on his own, plus gain real diet and training knowledge on the way. By the way do you search threads for people bashing prohormomes

Yep.

Actually, I agree he should not use them at this time and perhaps never.

I just take issue with the implication that taking PHs will "ruin your potential". The won't. There may be (and are) reasons why a newbie or young person or someone else shoudl not use PHs, I just thing we shoudl explain it with truth rather than false hyperbole.
