Different Workouts

[Reaper]

Who all does what when you work out? I'm in the gym 6 days a week, and I work different body parts different days. Sundays are my off days, and I do cardio everyday except on days I work my legs..Cardio is the last thing I do though....also what suppliments and/or protein are ya'll taking? Anyone on any kind of diet??? Different things work for different people but I'm trying to use new idea's to keep my body from getting used to the same old stuff...

monday-chest/cardio/abs
tuesday-back/cardio/abs
wednesday-legs
thursday-shoulders/cardio/abs
friday-cardio/abs only
saturday-little bit of everything
sunday-rest

Suppliments: M1-BOL/17-BOL by FIZOGEN and MuscleTech's ANATOR for post workout..as well as Muscle Milk w/breakfast and dinner..

I'm 6'2" 200lbs...not really sure what my fat percentage but its not over 10% I promise..

I'm 6'2" 200lbs...not really sure what my fat percentage but its not over 10% I promise..

if i can eventually say that '6'3 200lbs and less than 10% fat' i'd be estatic..but as of now i'm 6'3 207lbs with more than 20% fat...i'm sure. i'm doing alot of basketball to try to shed the rest of this fat off my stomach. i know i need to start doing some ab excercises...i can feel my abs..but i just have a layer of fat and i'm so tempted to go get this dealt with surgically..but that'd be a ***** way out...so i'll do it the old fashioned way

[killerdx]

im not on anything at tha moment, im probably going to get on some muscle milk, and n02. But my workout routine is

Monday-chest,tri's,abs
Tuesday-back,shoulders,traps,bi's
Wed-box,
Thursday-legs,abs
Friday-circuit train,everything

really the one thing that everyone needs to watch is nutrition..if you stick to a semi-healthy diet(eating what you want every now and then is okay) and a few ab work outs and cardio(basketball should be okay)..then you'll be surprised as to how quick you shed the unwanted fat off..

N02 is kinda a waste of time unless your taking CE2 with it. Atleast from what I've found. It's only making you look big for like 8hours..SuperPump and Noxplode are pretty good and they are cheaper than N02.

Btw, if you wanna get a good deal on suppliments don't go to GNC(I used to work there) go to www.vitacost.com they have GREAT prices and if you use the basic shipping then it takes about 4 days to get to ya.

But your routine sounds pretty demanding, how long are you normally in the gym?

here is the thing though..i generally watch what i eat..even if i eat out i'll do chickfila and do something with wheat bread and what not...i've increased in eating out since i got married but have maintained my same weight..even dropped to 202 before (lowest i've been thus far is 196). i am trying to get back getting on my total gym, getting regular with drinking my protein shake, boiled eggs..and eventually peanut butter sandwiches. but with every meal the wife is doing great with putting vegetables with everything. i told her before we got married we gota do vegetables with all our meals. i wana do some kinda flush system so i can get another boost to start losing again.

before i lost any weight..i was about 280lbs lost about 60lbs while doing college for two years straight, then lost the other 20lbs lately doing basketball...now what i'm trying to do is lose the rest of the flab on my stomech and get toned and weigh in @ 200lbs firm, no flab on stomach..just bulk up a lil

[Reaper]

okay, as hokey as this may sound...go to www.menshealth.com they have all kinds of ab workouts that really do work..plus easy meal plans that help.

a flush-system helps but only once or twice a year...unless drugs/alcohol are consistant then I'd do it like 5-6 times a year.

you sound like your well on your way though

The one thing I've found that is best, is cardio...but not intense cardio...fat burn..crank the incline to like 4 or 5, and set the speed to like 4mph..stay on that bastard for like 20-30 min. 4-5 days a week...plus ab work outs = rock hard stomach.

If you wanna "bulk" and "flab" then take CLA(natural fat burner/no caffine), L-carnintine(breaks down amino acids and puts them in the proper places) and ultra water(removes water weight)...you can get this at GNC its called the "ripped kit" its specifically meant for removing fat and keeping muscle.

Any protein you take in, make sure its 25 minutes after you work out...Pushups/chin ups/pull ups are hands down the best stuff for you...the rest will take care of itself..

btw, peanut butter sammachis ftw!!!

[pali_meister]

depends on if ur tryin to gain weight or loose it. Im scrawny as phuck so me eat 5000 calories a day. I take the colegiate formula muscle milk (500 calories per shake + 30 grams of protein), eat lots of pasta, rice, potatoes, chicken, and i usually get some fast food for more calories. Ive been too broke to eat lately so i lost weight again

Work out plan:
Monday-Chest/Tri
Tuesday-Back/Bi
Wednesday-Shoulders
Thursday-Legs (only muscle in the body that releases HGH)
Friday-Core/abs
Saturday- rest
Sunday-rest

Alota people dont realize how important resting is. Ur muscles dont get bigger when u work out (other than the pump). You actually gain muscle mass when they recover.

This workout plan has worked fairly well for me, i just have a hard time taking in all the calories i need. Hit me up for specific exercises for each day if u want.

[pali_meister]

^
btw i started out at 6'3" and 155lbs. Yes i was that scrawny. Im at 168lbs now. Im a hard gainer so i only get 1lb a week, 2 if im stuffing myself.

so that 'ripped kit' includes the CLA, L-carnintine, and ultra water? cool. does it help build muscle, or its not meant to build? i do push ups, i love pull ups and chin ups, but i have no place to do it, but the version the total gym uses.

i can tell around my waste that its gotten smaller..i had to use the last hole on my belt that i just bought yesterday to wear these certain pants to hold them up lol.

question...why take in protein 25 minutes AFTER you work out? i thought taking it prior to working out and then working out would help you build more? does the protein 'fill in' what you just 'ripped apart' from working out, creating more muscle?

[Sammich]

i laugh cuz i'm 6'3 and 200+lbs and i looked at myself in a pic and i thought i was sickly..i cant imagine how you look

[mocha latte cupcake]

good knowledge to know i'm trying to get back into shape now i'm 6 even and i weight about 161 or so... i'm trying for 151 but i really just wanna lose these damn love handles lol they are not the fun! but good stuff to do in here i need to get back on my running routine that helped alot and stop eating all the fat kid foods again lol

[anothaRRR]

Monday= Chest & Abs
Tuesday= Shoulders & Traps
Wed= OFF
Thurs= Back
Friday= Bi's & Tri's
Sat= Legs(if I feel like it)
Sunday= OFF

I take Optimum Nutrition Protein, best protein for the $$$ 48g for 2 scoops, 3 times a day...4 solid meals a day that have some kind of protein (chicken, beef, turkey, etc.) with carbs (noodles, pasta)

I am almost done with a Trifecta cycle from LG sciences which includes Methyl-1D, IGH-1, Liquid Masterdrol...

Post workout drink mix= 2scoops Cell-tech creatine, 1tsp L-Glutamine, 2 scoops protein...30-45 mins after a workout is the most crucial time, gotta take in protein in order for your muscles to recover faster and get gains...

Train MMA 3-4 times a week...

U have to space your workouts evenly and let the muscles recover...Do muscles that are closer to each other rather than working out different parts in one day, that way you can get the most blood pumping to it...

[anothaRRR]

Cardio and your nutrition is the main thing...Stay away from sugars...

like a bag of m&m's throughout the week? lol..i've been workin on these m&m's for about a week..and finally finished them

I forgot the exact reasoning for 25 minutes after you workout...it has something to do with your cells and heart rate/blood flow..I was talking to my friends trainer and he explained it to me. As far as the RIPPED KIT, it keeps the fat off....DOESNT HELP YOU GET BIGGER!! Thats all on you! I'm LOVING the suppliments I'm taking just because I gained 8lbs in 2 weeks of SOLID MUSCLE!! I've pretty much cut out all soda and sugary snacks...once you stick to water/tea/coffee(yes coffee its actually good for you) and tea has antioxidants in it so thats great too...you'll feel better..

When taking workout suppliemts take it with apple juice or grape juice instead of water...the natural sugar will raise your insulin levels and all more of the stuff you just took in...it'll intensify EVERYTHING...BUT...take it normally the first time you work out, then take it with juice..see what happens

Alot of people say take in 1-1.5 grams of protien per pound you weigh...I dont do that at all cuz I don't wanna get much bigger..if your looking to rip, then nutrition and cardio is 80% of the battle..If you seriously do alot of pushups you'll bulk on your own(look at military guys)

As far as you worrying about abs...EVERYONE HAS ABS!!!! Its just a matter of removing fat to see them!!! But if you do ab workouts + cardio you'll have harder abs and it wont take as long as normal to get what you want...

only time i will drink soda is when i'm mixing a drink..and right now i'm still working on my bottle of bacardi 151 that i've had for over 4months that i use hawaiian punch with..but i dont do soda's man. i had one this year a strawberry cuz i know that will break my face out so i refrain unless i have a HUGE craving. but i'm good on water, tea(lipton green tea, etc) and coffee(all this time i thought coffee was bad for me) lol. i drink ALOT of grape/apple/cranberry juices i love em .

alot of what you are mentioning, either i have done, or have done and not done consistently...my main thing is consistency. i'm trying to join this gym locally..but i dont think itll happen this month like i planned cuz it also has the basketball court inside. i do pushups at least 3times a week, although i would love to do more. i need to get back on my ab routines..i picked up so many from FITtv its ridiculous and i could feel them coming through after like 2wks of doing them consistently, then something happened and threw me off course . but i'm going to try to get back on my routine and start working out regularly and doing some bike riding to help out my knee.

i agree with the abs thing..i feel mine everyday..just been this layer of fat thats been on it for over 2yrs that i'm SO ready to get rid of. i will put into practice and get that kit from GNC

Great to hear! Btw, the protein after a workout replenishes the muscles you just tore up...remember when your working out, your tearing muscle...resting/protein builds it back up.

Goodluck man and let us know how things are going for you!!!

[c_riley]

man being a hard gainer sucks! the more you work out, the easier it is to kinda grow out of it. i'm 6'4 about 195-200. when i graduated in 06 i was about 160 (thats skinny as **** in case you didn't know). all i did was eat about 6 meals aday, used muscle cytogainer for awhile then switched back to muscle milk, plus working out for 2-3 hours 5 days a week.
as far as no2 goes, i never liked it because it makes the muscles in my arms pump too much, i could only get about 2 sets of 10 in before they are swollen so much i couldn't get full reps in. makes you look bigger for a bit though!

[c_riley]

I am almost done with a Trifecta cycle from LG sciences which includes Methyl-1D, IGH-1, Liquid Masterdrol...

i hope that **** worked, some of it was close to being illegal. one of the closes thing to steriods you can get legally i believe.

[Reaper]

m1-bol and 17-bol are the closest thing to steriods w/out the bad effects..

[anothaRRR]

i hope that **** worked, some of it was close to being illegal. one of the closes thing to steriods you can get legally i believe.

So far its been good, I got stronger and bulked up a little bit...They have had 2 of their products banned...They also just came out with a better formula Methyl Masterdrol 2...

[c_riley]

Methyl Masterdrol was almost banned too i think

This is really good info for me. I'm 6'1" and about 188lbs w/ very little body fat. I've always had a rather lean build combined with a fast metabolism. My goal is to gain 8-10lbs of muscle (and hopefully lose more fat) so, I'm definitely intrigued by your posts. I hit the gym 3-4 days a week, mixing up my routine to be sure to target every major body part every week. Every now & then to mix things up even more, I do two days of circuit training, take a day off then two more days of circuit training. I guess I'm to a point now where I need to be more disciplined with my nutrition & supplements in order to reach my goal. Being that I always skip meals doesn't help my cause either. I think I'll check out Supplement Warehouse this weekend to see what they have to offer.

In all seriousness check out vitacost.com they have GREAT prices

Goodluck on everything man, let us know how/what works for you. The more info. the better.

At this point im simply trying to get to 4% body fat and right around 190-200lbs...cuz w/out body fat thats pretty stout at my height.

[eghonda88]

x-reps and protein for this cat(go to xreps.com for more info on the training program)!!! I worked out everyday my senior year and still got all my muscle and dont work out anymore. well as of now I am starting back again just hard when your all by yourself. ANYone near grayson that goes to bodyplex hit me up

Couldnt agree with you anymore... Rest is a main key when wanting to build muscle AKA muscle memory as well... All those supplements is just a bunch of BS... when you get done working out take a Protein shake (whey, XXX, etc..)
I cant gain weight worth a **** but i try eating as much as possible... Noxplode just puts oxygen into ur veins making us swell up while ur working out... waste of money...

i used to work out everyday, but with school i can't anymore, and the only workout i usualy get is in the bed, and often just my right hand..

i need to get back on working out, when i do, im on muscle milk and nano vapor..

[Sammich]

Great to hear! Btw, the protein after a workout replenishes the muscles you just tore up...remember when your working out, your tearing muscle...resting/protein builds it back up.

Goodluck man and let us know how things are going for you!!!

thanks man..thanks for all the info

I cant gain weight worth a **** but i try eating as much as possible... Noxplode just puts oxygen into ur veins making us swell up while ur working out... waste of money...

I find it funny that you say suppliments are a waste of money but you can't gain weight to save your life..

Your right PARTIALLY about No-xplode, it does put oxygen in your muscle's...but it also has creatine in it..

which idk if you know or not puts water in your cells, which obviously puts it in your muscels and then gives you more endurance for more working out which in the end you pack on lbs of muscle and strength

Nitrix is simply the Nitrc Oxide which is only pumping O2 through your muscles just like No2(the product by MRI)

Suppliments are great, you've just gotta find the right stuff and know what the hell to take and what its doing. They can be your best friend or your worst nightmare if you mix the wrong stuff/take too much etc.

Rest/protein/diet are HUGE factors in weight training...But suppliments get you where you want to be. You cannot tell me that I didn't see a drastic difference after using the products I am. (NO2/Creatine/CLA..etc) I've cut fat, gained muscle and leaned out a lot. Everything works differently for different people. Honestly it sounds like you had a bad experience with NO-explode and gave up then. I could be wrong though.

I've gone through SO many different suppliments trying to find the best stuff for me. (no-explode, TRAC, Cell mass, Superpump, N02/CE2, NOvapor, Gakic, and now M1-BOL/17-BOL) It's taken a lot of money and a lot of time to figure out what works best..

If you really wanna gain weight...Go buy some form of creatine..and stay on a high carb diet. I'd suggest take it with a TYPE of N02 just to keep your blood flowing and energy going while your on the creatine. Bet you'll gain more weight that way than whatever your doing now

[Reaper]

thanks man..thanks for all the info

anytime buddy:boobies:

[GuessWho]

^^ well ur right I kind of took a diff. side to it... i've never taken a "SUPPLEMENT" but i did take a weight gainer called "cytogainer" that didnt do s.hit for me... which i mean if your a heavier set guy then taking those would help but for me i just got to get on a steady diet... 70% of getting bigger comes from dieting... like you said bout those suppliments tho i just dont wannna spend that money and not show any results lol... broke college kid if ya know wat i mean... plus genetics do play a role into working out ...

[bastarling84]

I try to do cardio (30 minutes to an hour) Monday-Friday in the morning before I go to work. Lately it hasn't been as consistent as I would like since it has been cold and i just can't seem to bring myself to get out of my warm bed.

After work Monday-Thursday, I do my lifting:

Monday: chest/triceps
Tuesday: back/biceps
Wednesday: legs
Thursday: shoulders

I am currently taking multivitamins and whey protein. I did the NO Xplode **** before, but I honestly didn't notice much of a difference when I got off of it other than the obvious amounts of energy it gives you. It almost seems like if i wanted the meth head energy, I would just drink an energy drink before I go.

[soul]

I go to the gym 7 days a week, twice a day.
Rotate workout routine.
Eat chicken,vegetables, eggs, and thats almost it( except for carbs i need, Sweet Potato or oats usually)

I recently bulked up from my 175 to 199, and now im cutting for ripped look, cause i got my size gains and look i wanted for my arms n chest.

Currently im sitting at 6'0 183 solid, plan on dropping to 175 again to be completly ripped(cut)

[Nomad!]

Nutrition was a HUGE turning point in my weight training..I used to circuit train A LOT...

Goodluck on everything man, let us know how/what works for you. The more info. the better.

At this point im simply trying to get to 4% body fat and right around 190-200lbs...cuz w/out body fat thats pretty stout at my height.

I'll check them out. Thanks again for the info. I figure if I stay @ my current workout pace & correct my nutrition issues, I should be fine. I think I want to bulk up a little more before I start trying to reduce my body fat, especially since I have more trouble gaining than losing. Sounds like we both have the same goals so I'm going to look into the supplements you take. Hopefully I'll get similar results.

work on doing both bulking and ripping..treadmil+diet+hard work=great pay off



[/QUOTE]^^ well ur right I kind of took a diff. side to it... i've never taken a "SUPPLEMENT" but i did take a weight gainer called "cytogainer" that didnt do s.hit for me... which i mean if your a heavier set guy then taking those would help but for me i just got to get on a steady diet... 70% of getting bigger comes from dieting... like you said bout those suppliments tho i just dont wannna spend that money and not show any results lol... broke college kid if ya know wat i mean... plus genetics do play a role into working out ...[/QUOTE]

Genetics do play a big part in working out!!! I hear ya on the broke college kid thing cuz I was once there. www.vitacost.com has the best deals on the internet(if you have the money to spend). If not stick to a badass high protein/high carb diet and lift alot...you should start to gain. But if you get any kind of protein get MUSCLE MILK COLLIGATE...it has the most carbs in it!! It's basically made for those who have trouble gaining. If I were to take it I'd get fat...Goodluck though

I go to the gym 7 days a week, twice a day.
Rotate workout routine.
Eat chicken,vegetables, eggs, and thats almost it( except for carbs i need, Sweet Potato or oats usually)

I recently bulked up from my 175 to 199, and now im cutting for ripped look, cause i got my size gains and look i wanted for my arms n chest.

Currently im sitting at 6'0 183 solid, plan on dropping to 175 again to be completly ripped(cut)

when the hell do you rest??? lol

lol damnit man...later go to the gym on an empty stomach...you'll get sick if you work out after eating that..and you'll only be burning that instead of fat..

always do cardio on an empty stomach

Congrats on the gym membership though!
