I'm doing this for 4 weeks then switching it up a bit for weeks 5-8... but for week 1 my sets will be 3x10, week 2 (2x10 & 2x8), week 3 (3x10 & 1x8), week 4 (4x10)




I'm starting everything in about a week or two and I think i'm pretty good with my diet, and i am going to see how this routine works out. I'm just really wondering about the dosage that i'm taking my supps at... are they too high or too low.

I think you're putting too much emphasis on your supplements when you should be putting that much thought into your diet.. supplements are supplements in addition to a good diet. Just taking them isn't going to get you where you want to be.

Tommorow hitting chest and abs at the gym. I'll let you know how that goes.

Oh and i put up some pictures i took earlier today. Check them out.

Nite...

 

[lucifuge]

a 5 day split?
are you 'assisted'?
I noticed you listed 'halo' as a supp... is that Anabolic Halo or halodrol?

Also, you're 22, why dhea?

 

[katt]

Also, you're 22, why dhea?

I was wondering that too.. I take some at night, but just because I'm older...

 

[lucifuge]

I was wondering that too.. I take some at night, but just because I'm older...

I've been considering it 'cuz I'm getting old myself, but it just seems out of place here...

 

[theman082685]

i'm not "assisted" i just feel that the way my workout is split up, 5 days would work out best. If i feel im not getting enough rest during the week after the first two week's i'll change it up (any suggestions? thats why im here)

and the reason i'm taking DHEA started out with nothing to do with working out. I was on a prescribed medicine that i wanted to get off of, so my doctor gave me a list of a few over the counter drugs that also had the effect of relieving depression. And after reading up on a few things on the list i saw that DHEA was used in the bodybuilding community as well so i gave it a try.

and when i said HALO i mean like the MuscleTech Anabolic Halo

... and thanks for taking the time reading up on my journal guys! and gal

 

[lucifuge]

ok thanks for clearing up some of the confusion...
really pay attention to how you're body responds. That's a lot of volume bro, real easy to overtrain with a program like this.
my personal favorite is the push/pull/legs split.
try to train the movements instead of body parts, it's more effective.
Also, you don't really have any hamstring exercises. Throw in some stiff leg dead lifts and leg curls...
also seems like a hell of a lot of ab work, you don't need to train abs 3 times a week

not really sure what im going to eat for dinner yet... thinking about going with Chicken, spaghetti and veggies.

I'm going to drop the abs from thursday and just do abs monday and saturday.. or maybe even just on saturday from now on, not sure. And i'm also going to add the stiff leg deads to my leg workout, thanks keeping me on track with that.

And like i said, i'm going to try this out for a week or two. If it doesn't work out i'll look into the push/pull split. How many different exercises do on 3 days?

 

[lucifuge]

good lookin work out bro
as for how many exercises, it's really up to you. just try to keep them equal, say 5 for push, 5 for pull, 5 for legs....
and focus on compounds

 

[the other half]

welcome to "the journals"

solid workout.
as time goes and you get more people on your site, you will get lots of good advice, and more ideas than you will ever be able to try. just find what you get good gains from and eat good, and plenty of recovery time, and enjoy the ride.
