Thread: school bodybuilding comp.. need help

I would be more concerned with your diet

As ID said diet is the key, however, you also need to re-evaluate your routine. Your training contains too much volume on certain muscles groups like back and chest. Keep this routine up and you'll be overtrained at soon. Remember that your muscles grow during rest periods, not in the gym.

how am i over training my chest i do like 12 sets on one day of the week same with back????
whats your routine look like??? cuz if thats overtraining then i dont know what isnt

whats your height and weight? gotta figure out your calories man.

im 5'10 and about 150 lbs (im pretty skinny)

I am assuming this is over 7days
Mon- Back
Tues Chest
Wed Rest
Thurs-Legs
Fri-Shoulders
Sat-Arms
Sun-Rest
Repeat

Back I would prolly drop the chins and seated rows and throw in some Deads. On arms why so much for bi's and so little for tri's . Tri's Give the arm size not bi's

How many Reps per Set?

What % of Max are you training?

YEA its so stupid to train biceps more then triceps... TRICEPS IS 70% of the upper arm size! The mass of the arm is the triceps...train them more and do less of bicep work
