it takes a while to grow, you probably need to eat a Lot more and take more rest days. dont expect a lot in a month. after a few months of eating consistently and correct training expect to start seeing some changes.

its true. unless you have enough extra calories for your body to put toward building muscle, youll be treading water.

**P-funk** · 08-09-2005, 10:00 AM

you haven't seen results because your routine sucks....To many single joint exercises and not enough lifting going on.

Why repeat mon and tues on thurs and fri? if you are working hard enough on monday then you shouldn't have to repeat it again until....monday....and hopefully with more weight that you used last week.

Don't deadlift with your pulls. Put it on back day. Otherwise, according to your schedule you are trainin hip extensin tues, wed, fri. I am all for it if you have th percentages right but 2 sets of 8 each time is hog wash. Mix up your rep ranges.

What is your rest interval?

What is your rep tempo like?

What gains are you looking for?

strength?

size?

These are things you need to ask yourself before you start a program. What is your goal. What is the best way to accomplish that goal. What are you looking to get out of this routine. If you don't answer these questions before you come up with a routine then your routine is only as good as the paper it is written on.

how about:

mon- push
wed- legs
fri- pull

**kenwood** · 08-09-2005, 11:36 AM

ok but what are some good compound exercises(mass building) and which is best compound or isolation? well if you have the time could you help me put exercises together for pull and push?

thanks

**WATTS** · 08-09-2005, 11:50 AM

i think what foreman wrote is a great start for a routine, but try doing what P-funk said as well(mon-push, wed-legs, fri-pull). this way you wont overtrain and will have enough time to recover. remember you grow when your resting! and EAT EAT EAT!
