Thread: Is anything wrong?

Your plan is Ok, what have you been doing so far?
What kind of exercises, number of sets, reps are you doing now?

You'll have to make sure your diet and rest is good so you don't get burnt out.

Personaly, I stick with a 3 day split, working each muscle once a week but then again, I'm not 17.

Im 16 and I would go on a 3 day split like Scotty said workin on M-W-F. Try to leave the weekends for rest or cardio depending if your bulking cuttin or just gettin into shape. Also be sure to get plenty of rest and food in you. Just tell us what your rountine and goals are and we will help.

I would put a rest day between day 1 and day 2.

My goals are to bulk up before cutting this end of spring. I take Prolab Glutamine & Phosphagen HP and also 2 times a day I take Designer Protein. I try to get 9 hours of sleep every night, and even more on weekends. I will change my workout by what u said, putting a rest day in between day 1 and 2.
Here is what my workout's consist of...

Back sets
Lat pulldowns 2 X 8 & 1 x 6
Rows 3 x 8

Bi's
Standing BB curls 2 x 8
Standing DB curls 2 x 8
Preacher curls 3 x 8
Hammer curls 1 x fail (max of 15)

Chest
BB bench press 2 x 8 1 x 6
DB bench press 2 x 8
DB inclined press 2 x 8 1 x 6
Flat bench DB flies 1 x fail (max of 15)

Tri's
Tri extensions 3 x 8
Skull crushers 3 x 8
(plus what ever tri workout i get by doing chest)

LEGS.......
Squats 1 x 10 1 x 8 1 x 6
Leg press 2 x 8 1 x 6
Leg curls 2 x 8
Leg extensions 2 x 8

Please tell me if any of these should be switched around or if i should be doing somthing that im not or vise versa... Thanks for any replies...

On your flyes I would do 7-9 with a weight i can do till failure. I would also add deadlifts to your program. Even though they are difficult to do with good form they do have good results. For rows you should do straight bar bent over rows and upright rows because I believe they hit your traps the best. You also should add something for your shoulders. I reccommend military or behind the neck presses 2X8 and lateral raises the same. You can switch the military and behind the neck everytime you work. Othwerwise you have a pretty solid program. Also a 90 min nap after workouts releases a growth hormone as you sleep so do that too!! I hope this helps you a little.
