    Need ALOT of help.

    Hello, I'm currently trying to bulk up. I've been doing it for about 5 months and have seen some alright gains. But i feel that i'm doing it all wrong. First of all i have to work with is a Bowflex (I know ). This is my current work out:

    Monday:
    Heavy Squats- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Leg Extension- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Seated Calf Raise- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Crunches- 4 sets of 20

    Wednesday:
    Benchpress- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Shoulderpress- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Rear Deltoid Rows- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Triceps Pushdown- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Crunches- 4 sets of 20

    Friday:
    Wide grip pulldowns- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Bicep curls- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Narrow pulldowns- 4 sets of 4 reps
    Crunches- 4 sets of 20

    any critque and help would be nice, besides the fact that i should get rid of the bowflex

    Well with a bowflex I feel like you should actually do more volume. Just seems like you can get away with lot on that damn thing. Maybe adding some sets here and there. I know I have always preached for the most time less is better. But with a Bowflex it takes a lot of work to get much out of it. My mother owned one for about 5 years whenever I lived with her. Of course the first sugestion would be to get real weights, however even a bowflex workout is better than none.

    Not really. Its hard to find alot of different varieties on the bowflex. Really a bowflex is for the older people, but if its all you have to work with then go for it.
