Thanks for replying... What about the reps? Should I keep cycling them between w/outs? Cheers, Rekd

Alright CowPimp, A while ago I asked about what my split should be if I only have opportunity to work out twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays). You suggested a full body routine, twice a week. I modeled the routines on your post: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/showthread.php?t=53106 So...

Thanks cp. I'll check it out. Anyone else think I should be doing two full-body routines instead of splitting it?

I built my own power rack, so that isn't a prob. cheers, Rekd

sorry, forgot to add. I am really after size more than strength. Strength is just a bonus. I know you all probably want my diet plan too... Put simply, I'm consuming approx. 550g of carbs on non-workout days, 650 - 700 on workout days. I'm take in about 180 - 190g of protein on non-workout...

thanks all. I'll sit this one out and wait until the phlem subsides.:barf: I just hate missing a workout!!!! Maybe a walk or something instead. Cheers, Rekd

Alright, time to put up my routine... I have only a small amount of time each week - 60 to 90 minutes, twice a week. I usually choose Monday and Thursday. I am trying to hit my whole body each week, so I'm doing an upper/lower split. I do 2 or 3 warm up sets before hitting it hard, and haven't...

Hey all, What is everybody's opinion about working out and sickness. I am just fighting a mild chest infection with a bit of coughing, and I'm not sure if I should let my immune system just deal with it before lifting weights. Any comments? Will lifting delay my recovery? Rekd

Ok, it seems that I need more fat in my diet, and arguably more protein. My big problem is the gall stones. Anyone who has had them will know that consuming 60 - 90g of fat each day gives you gall bladder attacks, which is EXTREMELY painful, and not good for you at all. I guess there is not...

I have always felt that if I do not get any muscle soreness 12 - 24 hours after a workout, then I have not worked hard enough. I have assumed that the soreness comes because I have stressed the muscle, thereby causing it to grow. I always to at least three warmup sets, and always stretch after...

I have been reading some articles about nutrition and the 40/30/30 ratio, and am hoping someone has some answers. I know that some people go for a 50/30/20 ratio, but that is not what I need help with. I am 28 years old, and I have been trying to put on muscle for about 13 months now, but have...

Hey all, Does anyone here workout after their dinner? Eg. dinner at 6pm, workout at 8pm? Just curious, as I have very little spare time, and any I do get is mainly in the evenings after the kids are in bed... I can't imagine it'd be that great to still have a half-full stomach:barf: , but...
