Im just wondering that. Is it possible to get bigger doing 5 x 5 on chest 4 x 9 on back and shoulders Increasing the weight each set, working upto a maximum where assistance is needed. Or is there a better way to go about things ?

Thanks for the reply. Its just so hard to construct a workout with so many opinions flying around. Some think lower reps doesnt affect size, some think high volume is needed etc. Just have no idea with what sets and reps is good for size and wether or not to use one weight or progress the...

In your opinions, what would be the best combination of reps, sets etc to produce muscle size. I have been recomended chest 5 x 5 - increase weight each set, biceps 2 x 8 - one weight x 2 Back 4 x 9 - increase weighr each set, triceps 2 x 8 - one weight x 2 Shoulders 4 x 9 - increase weight...

A barmcake gives you about that much protein.

Well there isnt anybody to show me how to do them for a start and i just couldnt master it. I just really couldnt feel it on my hams. I do have tight hams but dont know what stretches to do and how often etc. Hyperextensions is more of a back exercise isnt it ?

Hi, ive recently been doing squats, stiff leg deadlifts and calf raises at 5 x 5. Since i couldnt seem to get my form right on the deadlift i have had to have a little shuffle. I was advised to do squats, lying leg curl, leg extensions and calf raises. But, i really have problems with the leg...

No i dont like protein bars that is.

No i dont.

Im 16

That would be hard to consume one straight after. As after my lifting, i do 30 minutes of cardio, then get the bus home. If i start at 8pm, finish my lifting about 8-50pm, finish cardio at about 9-25pm, get the bus at 9-40, get home 9-55 ish. Its going to be over an hour.
