Thread: whats a good routine for me?

welcome to IM!

what are your goals?

to build bulky muscles

and to slim down a little bit

you can try this one

Diet and cardio....

then work on your muscles.

well if you want to get big bulky muscles id have to say id reverse what NickB said... id work hard on your muscles and then diet and cardio to see a finished cut result.... while your working on your muscles you will slim down quite a bit being (im assuming) new to weight lifting

5'11 250 at 14 = a bigboy... which is why i recommended the cardio and diet, then bulk up.

Thats barely an inch taller than me, and over 70 pounds more.

Thats highly obese... Im just talking from a health standpoint.

Of course, what do i know. Im still a noob.

i also am talking from a health standpoint.... if hes a obese then he probably wont want to or be able to partake in strenuous cardio vascular activities... weight lifting will help him lose fat pretty quickly as well as help him grow muscle and at the same time prepare him for the cadio he will start when he wants to unveil those muscles he has worked on... however i agree he should do some sort of cardiovascular activity such as sports with friends...

really at this point if hes obese than really he should diet first before everything to lose some weight and THEN go to weight lifting once hes at 199lbs or a comfortable weight and cut after hes built muscle...

Whats your Body fat like Deisel? If it is high, does obesety run in the family?
I would start by addressing your diet first, visit the nutrition section.
As for a routine, at your age keep the weight a bit lighter and work on your form.

What are you doing now?

once you get your form down dont hesitate to go heavy ... dont have an ego trip though... dont put on more than you can handle... if you have doubts dont do it or do it with a spotter because already your subconcious will be working against you

im not sure what my body fat % is by from most of my family and freinds they all say i dont look like im 250

ment to say but from most of my family eheh

my coach thought i could be a linebacker because most line backers on my football team look like there about 180-190 and he said i lok about the weight for that position

I have a old friend like that, he told me one day that he was 275lb and I said bullshit cause he looked like he might have been just over 200-220. So I got him on a scale and sure enough he was right. He wasn't even muscular, just solid and shaped like a brick. Lucky bastard.

my routine is:
Monday:Upper body work
Tuesday:about 30 minute jogging and another 30 doing sprint drills
Wednesday:lower body work
Thursday:same as tuesday
Friday:rest day

and then the next week i do same thing iv been doing it for about 3 months now

I would do a two day upper body and a one day lower body, take the day off after legs.

So something like
Monday: Chest/shoulders/tri's
Wedneday: Legs/abs
Friday: Back/bi's

What kind of exercises are you doing now, reps and sets?

yup for toutine and yup for reps and sets

man i can not spell ment to say routine

Hahahahaha, no no, what is your routine, reps and sets now?

ment = meant

oooooooooooo! for like my chest and other upper body work i do 6 sets of 15 reps

and i work my chest/shoulders/biceps/triceps

what workouts do you do 6 sets of 15 for? what kindof weight are you using? i think you should increase the weight and go for 8 reps the last rep being hard as hell to get..... give us a more detailed post of your workout routine (weight, reps, sets, exercises etc.) so that we can give you a little more help... use the split scotty provided... it includes back workouts which you need...

for like my chest and stuff i do flat bench press and the weights about 120 but its kinda light for me should i bring the weight up more? and for my shoulders i do dumbell flys each dumbell is about 10 pounds,and for my biceps and stuff i curl about 60. And i do 200 crunches every day

for my abs

You dont need to work your abs to get abs. When you lose bodyfat they will apear out from under the exess fat.

Trizzle=Your signature should say: go hard or go home, cause you think everyone should go hard. LOL. You hard ass you.

Deisel, these guys are right you need to be very specific when explaining your daily routines. We can not help you other wise. PS there is a spell check on here now, to help you out. Plus if you think a weight is too light for you, then raise the weights. You should always be straining for at least your last two reps. Plus a 3 month routine is too long, you need to re work your routine and exercises to stress your body out more.

k thanks man

I am not a man.
