Reply With QuoteWelcome to IM, here are my comments:
day 6 rest/off
actually, you should put a rest day in the middle somewhere a natural lifter should not train more than 2 days in a row.
would be better off with 6 meals.
cardio would be better at around 20 mintes, high intensity/interval
what is this diet going to consist of, cause that is the most important part!

New Here! how's this plan?
Hey All,
This is my first post...however i've been extensively reading through this site. Awesome info!
sorry if this is long but....
I've been going to the gym ~5 days a week for 1.5 years doing my own thing...not really workin as planned. I've been reading this site and came up with something new for me. Can you guys help me out...tell me what u think?
Me: 25 years old, 6' height, 185 lbs. (Before gym I was 195)
Fully flexed arm/bicep is 14.25", 35" waist. not sure on B.F.,
little flab around waist, chest.
Haven't seen much improvement in about 5 months...so here's what i plan to do....is this good?
day1: chest/tris/abs
day2: back/bi's
day3:legs/abs
day4: shoulders/cardio
day5: waist/abs/cardio
day6: repeat or rest
workout would be the way u guys are saying..(2 warmup sets, 1 medium, 2 heavy sets of 4-6 reps)
cardio would be 30-45 mins. of interval
diet: 5 times/day ~600 calories each meal
supplements: pro complex protein, multi-vitamins
I'm hoping for lean and fit body, not too huge (example: guy from spiderman movie)
Thanks all!

Just to add... eating 5 meals a day at around 600 cals a meal is 3000 cals.... at 185 lbs, unless you've got a very nice metabolism, i think thats a bit much.

I would switch to a 4 day split
Monday - chest
Tuesday - back
Wednesday - off
Thursday - arms / shoulders
Friday - Legs
Saturday - off
Sunday - off
This will give your muscles a chance to recover, I think that may be one of your problems along with diet.Cool

i was thinking ~3000 cals. because I've slowly been losing weight and no strength increase when I was eating a little less.
the diet:
meal1: protein powder, skim milk, wheaties energy crunch cereal
meal2: trail mix, sm. turkey on wheat w/ lettuce, red peppers
meal3: roast beef sandwich on wheat w/lett., peppers, raw
carrots
meal4: apple, protein powder in water, nutri-grain cereal bar
meal5: roasted chicken breast, boiled broccoli
too much or is this ok?
After reading through this site, I realized i've been workin out too much with high reps and not enough rest. I've toned pretty nicely however, but I really want to be leaner and bigger overall.
Thanks for all your help, this site is great! I'm really siked to try this new routine.
