Thread: What do yall think about my routine?

Just stay away for steroids for 4 more years and you will be ok.

Couple things... Where do calfs come in? What's your diet like? What supplements are you taking? What are your stats?

-Also for back if you are only doing lat pulldown then you are only working your lats not your entire back.
-Where do Traps come in?

Lastly what I have learned is not to worry too much about the exact weight and the exact amount of reps.. Just concentrate on squeezing the crap out of your muscles, and if you only make 6 reps, its fine.

calfs will be with legs!
also i do hammer strengths!

supplements are just creatine for now, my diet i have about 13% BF not very big, but not skinny!

i weigh 153pounds and am 5'10" tall...i have gained a good 10 pounds sinc ei 1st started workign out of good muscle mass!

im thinkng about getting muscle milk and prob weigh gain!

Deadlift. Find out what it is. Study its form. Do it and do it well.

You only do lunges and squats though , do some seated calf raises and toe presses which will isolate your calfs, and you will get lots of definition!

Definetly make sure your diet is in check before taking any supps, but IMHO, I would also include a multivitamin, fish oil caps and whey for post workout.

Maybe post some pics? I just weighed in today at 138 and im 5'4-5'5. Whats your goal weight, and how old are you? Muscle Milk has a lot of fat in it, there might be better choices for you, but good job on your gains!


I also agree that deadlifts would be good to add to your workouts, they burn my hams so bad! Deadlifts are also good for your back with proper form, and your back seems to be an area which is lacking.. I would also add in seated cable rows, wide grip pullups (for more lat action), one arm dumbell rows, and hyperextensions (2 sets, second set with weight, then drop the weight and keep going until you have sqeezed your lower back like never before).

I don't really see the point of direct calf work. For the most part, as long as you walk a decent amount they probably won't get underdeveloped. I haven't directly worked mine in a while and I really haven't noticed anything different.

I think calf work is up to the individual. I personally enjoy working calfs, and have found that toe presses and intense seated calf raises has added to the definition and size of my calfs.. Also the burn you get when you hit calfs hard is nice heh.
