noob---anyone want to help me with a schedule?

[willus72]

Okay when i was in rehab one of my counselers claimed to be a fitness instructer with a degree in some sort of muscle science and massage and therapy, as well as some sort of martial arts black belt or something (meanwhile he looked like a beach-ball lol)
But if anyone has been to rehab the know that it is usually a 30 day program, and i told him i needed to get back in shape (had been shooting heroin for 3yrs prior) before i went home. My body was in REAL bad shape. But before i started killing myself (16 y/o)i had went to a juvinile bootcamp, in that time i went from a scrawny 115lbs to about 145-150 in 15 weeks. by the time i got to rehab i had already gotten back down to about 110. so i explained all this to him and he wrote me a "special routine" that would"help my body remember the muscle that once was there". Well i dont know if it was mental but in that 30 days i felt alot bigger but never got to weigh myself. when i got home i lost all the weight again, down to around 115 again. then i had a kid since then i have gotten my poppa belly back up to about 145(still skinny, big belly) So I was thinking about using this routine again ut after showing it to people they said it was bad what do you guys think?

keep in mind this routine was without any supplements, 3 squares a day, and was supposed to show good results within 4 weeks. Did this guy have any idea what he was talking about?

 

[Willdebeast]

there isnt enough different exercises in there. I f you think you are in decent shape try a 3 day split push (upper) pull (lower) and legs doing about 20 work sets per w/o. add in 2-3 days of cardio on off days if you want to lose weight.
you must squat and deadlift. they are the best.

 

[Willdebeast]

sorry bro the split should be push (upper) and pull (upper) so chest and tris/bis and back.

Do a lot of compound lifts. I suggest working out every other day, or three days per week. 3 days per week was enough to pack on 25 pounds of muscle in a few months time onto myself.

Here is the routine I would suggest you do 3 days a week:

Benchpress 3 x 5-8
Military Press 3 x 5-8
Barbell Curl 3 x 5-8

Bicycle Crunch 3 x Failure
Reverse Crunch 3 x Failure
Vertical Leg Crunch 3 x Failure

Deadlift 3 x 5-8
Squat 3 x 5-8
Straight Leg Deadlift 3 x 5-8

Of course, don't forget about proper nutrition, sleep, and warming up/stretching.

GoPro's workout is very successful, but this guy is a beginner. He has previous experience, but when you start again you should do a more basic routine like the one I mentioned before. GoPro himself mentioned that you need to be somewhat advanced to use his routine. I remember he responded to the post of someone who had been working out only a year and suggested he not even do the shock portion of the routine.

WEll thanks for the correction there cowpimp good catch.

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

dont forget to get 6 meals a day with 1 gram or more of protein per pound of body weight

and by the way, how tall are you? like 5'6" or something?

 

[willus72]

thanks, firestorm ill take a look at least for futer informational purpouses, and thanks for the pat on the back that always makes things easier.

ill look a little more into your routine cow sounds pretty simple seems great to get me back into the swing of things.

yeah cat im looking into getting myself on a diet asap just trying to find whats best! also i am about 5'10" (I know 110lbs is really fuc-in unhealthy for that height i feel more comfortable now with a little wieght back)

oh and about there not being enough different exersices that is becaus all we had was one of those universal gyms, there were not many options. but thanks for all the help everyone, so basically the general consensus is that is too much of a work out for me? works for me ill look into some other options thanks

 

[willus72]

hey i have one more quick question, the last time i was doing a routine, as i said i was really scrawny i was lifting more than my wrists could handle. while it wasnt alot of weight(maxing around 155) i had no problem doing the wieght( well as few problems as should be expected while maxing) but it hurt the shit out of my wrists. its not like their messed up or anything or even a one time thing, it is becouse my wrists are so tiny (i can only wear MASCULAN womens wrist watches or REALLY REALLY small mens if I get lucky enough to find one) they feel like they cant handle the weight. is there any way to help this? i guess i can wrap my wrists like a boxer but I would feel a little goofy. any exersizes for bigger, stronger wrists? thanks again

 

[firestorm]

Wrist curls and reverse wrist curls will strengthen them up. In the meantime there are gloves with built in wrist supports. Look on the internet you'll fid em.

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

shit! 5'10" 115 lbs...anorexic

just kidding man, but at least your are on the right path now

Youll prolly go up to about 160 over the next couple of years, no problem, just make sure its lean body mass

good luck

 

[willus72]

thanks fire,

yeah cat it was bad but like i said i am about 145-150 now (still no muscle) so do you really think it will tak a few years to burn that fat and get up to 160? i was hoping for a better results than that! like i said a few years ago i was like 145 with very little fat (bootcamp) shouldnt things work faster for me now or is that whole muscle has memory thing a myth?thanks

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

oooh yea ur right
i was under the impression ur body weight was down around 120 or so still

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

as long as you stay steady and eat better, NO CRACK either

heroin whatever

then youll do very good for a while, i wouldnt doubt if you lost a few pounds of fat and get ur body weight up to 170 ( a lean 170 that is)

 

[willus72]

good deal! thats more of what my goals are! and hopefully all that other shit wont be a problem i am going on 2yrs clean so i think im in the safe zone with all of that garbage!

Im going to Disney world in May, if I start immediately, and bust my ASS with a good routine what do you think would be a reasonable goal for May? Do you think i could lose the some of the chub but stay the same weight? I want to do a mass cycle, I dont mind bloating or water retention but i would like to firm up this floppy little titties i seem to be growing (ill tell you what i big belly and saggy tits look really goofy on a small frame!lol)
