you've got quite a bit of fat, so i would probably focus on cutting rather than bulking. in addition, you're going to DIE on thursday. doing your two largest muscle groups the same day are going to kill you. and the full body workout the day after is just suicide and overtraining. here's my split:

sun - chest
mon - back, hammies
tues - tris, abs
wed - bis, quads, calves
thurs - shoulders, forearms
fri - off
sat - off

there is no "best" workout. its whatever works for you. but if youre going balls-out on thursday, there's no way you can complete friday's w/o. fuck, i almost pass out after a good set of deadlifts, i coudnt imagine doing 3 sets of deads followed by 3 more sets of squats.... no way.

whats your diet like?

thanks for the advice...................I dont work out hard on fridays............just a little touch up up top...........u think its overworking............as for my diet I recently start cutting up for this summer..........I still think I have more muscle mass than most 20 year olds..........that I have seen anyways.......

there's not a need for "touch up work". do it right the first day and you'll have no need for it. give your body a chance to rest. otherwise you risk overtraining which is way worse than undertraining. what constitutes your diet? what kind of foods do you eat, how much of em, and how do you split it up?

Well since I am in college I try to do the best I can............I get enough protein for sure.......I think my main problem is not enough cardio........whats your cardio schedule like.

crazy_enough · 04-20-2005, 10:55 PM

not enough cardio is rarely the main issue....90 % of the game is nothing but D-I-E-T!!!

uncc's#1BEAST · 04-20-2005, 10:59 PM

ok so maybe my diet is not the best what advice can you give me so I can lose this extra fat on me..............like what do you do.......thanks

crazy_enough · 04-20-2005, 11:01 PM

post ure diet...daily typical food intake...then watch the pros destroy that diet, suggest a new one and help turn u into a ripped 20yr old for the summer!

uncc's#1BEAST · 04-20-2005, 11:04 PM

Ok here it is:
Morning: start off with a protein shake with 2 scoops of protein powder, banana(potassium) and a L-Glutamine Pill. maybe a bowl of cereal and vitamins.

Lunch: either chicken. fish sandwich on wheat bread, another L-Glutamine pill

supper: nothing too heavy for supper usually pasta. take final glutamine pill, protein shake with 3 scoops this time

Ok, uve got MUCHO learning to do!! btw, I dont think that ua re taking in enough protein for ur size if thats ure usual diet....How many grams of L glut in each cap???

U need to eat more often, better and so on....Start out with the stickies in the diet nutrition section...That should help u a whole lot!

DimebagDarrell · 04-20-2005, 11:56 PM

you need more meals. like at least 5 a day, preferrably 6. i don't have a set meal plan, but i make sure to get plenty of complex carbs and low sugars (except post-workout). all my meals have more protein than carbs. including breakfast, at which i have 1 cup oatmeal but mix it with milk AND have a protein shake. i believe im taking in over 400 grams of protein a day, and a little less than that in carbs. you need more meals to stay anabolic. your body switches into a catabolic state 3-4 hours after eating at which point it starts to store fat. eat continually, but in small enough portions, and youll be fine. remember, EAT COMPLEX CARBS. funny enough, eating table sugar raises your blood sugar levels less than white bread.
