Hi,

i needed some tips to my workout becuase i have been working out now for about 2 months and i have increased in strength but i am still the same size. I started taking creatine about 3 weeks ago and still no difference. I weigh about 165-170 im 6 2 and i just started taking creatine before my workouts and then muscle milk after about 3 days on that now.

A basic idea of my workout is i go mon-thursday,

Mon-Chest

Tue-Legs

Wed-Back

Thur-Arms

i do about 4-5 different kinds of excerises each day and i do abs everyday
i go heavy and do 3 sets of about 5-7 reps each. I want to get bigger faster, any suggestions???? Please help

Getting Bigger = Proper gym stimulus + Calories surplus + rest/recuperation


What have you determined your calorie intake to be (MT LINE), and thus your surplus in calories?




Best wishes to you my friend,



Chillen

it varies from about 2,500-3,500

i am on the go a lot so i don't always have time to eat all my meals, do you kno of any like calorie bars that just have a lot of calories and nutrients

anybody? lol

i'm not an expert but on the nutrition side you should be sure to have roughly 1gram/ pound of body weight of protein if you want to grow. Ideally the protein should be consumed in 6 daily meals (I know that this can be very difficult to do). So the bars that you are eating sound good.
I can't see anything hugely wrong with you're work out. All I can say is deep going.

thanks, but i was wondering if anyone new of a good protein bar or something, i dont eat any at the moment.

dude it sounds like your going to have to step up your dedication a little in the diet area

Just because you eat a protein bar or two does not mean you will get your protein requirements for the day...

I want you to read the posts I made in this thread:

Dont EVER wait 2 months without seeing some sort of results again......UNDERSTAND? There should be something in 8 weeks time..........BOTTOM LINE.


Pitch the Creatine IMO (for two months into training you dont need it), it isnt what its "marketing hyped" to be. Currently, you will get all you need from certain meats you eat. Its the diet, correct stimulus in the weight room and rest/recuperation that will earn you the goal you seek.

STOP looking for a miracle supplement------there isnt one---thats legal.


I personally dont like the lay out of your routine. If time is a problem for you then I would recommend a upper/lower split, and if time isnt a problem, then a Full Body workout 3 times per week.


What are these exercises?


For two months into training, I expect this is training TOO HEAVY, and I would recommend a rep range of 8 to 12.


Read the link I provided.......it has some important information on determining your calorie needs.

YOUR NEXT post I WANT THESE ANSWERED:

1. What you configured your MT LINE to be With ACTIVITIES.
2. What exercises you have been doing the past two months
3. Are you willing to track calories?
4. Whether a upper/lower split or FBW fits your personal life.

TO get a change.......you have to create a change in what you are doing


LETS ROCK AND ROLL!



Best wishes in all that you set out to do

i have been working out for more than two months but it has been on and off for about a year or two and i took a course in college and two in highschool so if that makes a diff on the advice given??, i always go for a couple of months and then stop for a couple but i am a lot more motivated now and am trying to keep up the consistency.

My MT line is 2,533 calories

Past two months i have been doing ;

Chest: Bench, incline bench, chest press, butterfly, dumbell press

BacK: Lat pull, reverse butterfly, shoulder press, and something for lower back but i forget what its called.

Legs: Leg curl, Leg extension, leg press, Squats, Calf raises

Arms: Curl machine, dumbell curl, tricep ( not sure name of exercise but i do a couple diff ones), and for forearms reverse preacher curls and stnading wrist curls.

Also i do push ups and situps at home on the days i dont workout a the gym

I am willing to track calories and yes an upper lower split/fbw does work into my schedual but isnt FBW only if your starting off?

Thanks for the help =)
