Thread: Need help with my new goal

no input any1?

what is the question?

I generally don't like advising people on routines because, while I can make up my own and fix them as I see fit, I generally have too little experience to give others good advice (unless I see them often and can discuss it with them).

As to your BW question, it's a good idea to pick one to do first. You may want to shed the fat as the first thing and then simply eat good, healthy meals while you gain strength - that way you won't have to worry about excess bodyfat ever again. I don't remember if you're new or not, but if you are, you can probably still gain a significant amount of strength while lowering your BF (depending on your routine, diet and how much you want to lose).

is the routine good to gain strength all over?
is the routine good to gain size in my arms only?
should i stick with a push/pull/legs if my main goal is strength?

is nutrition that important for strength as it is for hypertrophy?
I read in another post that if you lift, but you do not eat properly, you will gain strength but not size...

btw, are you online all the time? lol bc everytime im on ur light is green

I just leave my computer on and IM, im not alyways here though

and im not asking for a routine, my goals are strength allover and more arm size, how is that suppose to help with arm size- your basically doing the same thing as me but takin out the isolation arm work that I was doing for 8-12 reps(hypertrophy rep range)
cowpimp/p-funk is that a good routine for strength all over and size in my arms

also I read in another post that if you lift but do not get enough nutrition youll still gain strength but not size- is it true that you will still gain strength?

If you’re exercising with resistance, regularly, you will gain strength, if you don't feed your system after your workout; you will not gain as much size, but will still gain strength - like gymnasts. Why do you ONLY want size in your arms? And people just say ARMS< but do you mean just biceps and triceps?
if you REALLY just want arm size and strength, lift heavy, low reps, compound movements, like everyone says, and don't eat a ton of protein after. THEN, maybe workout a separate day once a week to do your arm isolation work, and eat lots of protein after that workout only. Seems to me that that might work...

EDIT: ALSO, if you don't want size elsewhere, don't do too many exercises per muscle group, keep things simple -besides your iso arm work, which I don't get.

As bodyfat is a big issue for you, I think you should really start adjusting your meals, adding lots of cardio, and bring down the volume of your weight routine, once you get some excess bodyfat off, I bet you will have an easier time training.

I wouldnt mind gaining size, but its not my main goal, I want to focus on max strength, if size comes with it ill be happy, but my really only main goals I want is strength in my whole body and size in my arms(biceps,triceps)
so I guess Ill stick to my push, pull, legs do 1-5 reps for all exercises except isolation arm work such as bicep curls and tricep extensions, and get good nutrition throughout the whole day...

As far as I know, you should always give your body proper nutrition no matter what your goals.

yea I now but im talking bout the 200 grams of protein, 6 meals a day shit lol

Im saying he doesnt need to pound protein after all his workouts if he doesnt want to bulk anything but arms, all of us eating tons of protein isnt exactly what I would call healthy, but I think eating after exerting yourself to replenish your body is, of course, very important.

Mike, if you can't squat at all, even body weight, I think maybe you should go on a cut plan before trying to bulk your arms. Thats my 2 cents.

If you get it from good sources, such as turkey breast, there's nothing wrong with eating plenty of protein. Of course, the body can use only so much, and after that it's pointless to eat more purely dietically, but there's nothing wrong with eating plenty of lean protein. Even if you want strength, you bet that eating right after a workout is extremely important.
