Your workout looks ok. How does it work for you? What is your diet like? What are your goals?

It looks ok. If you want to fasten your gains then go for higher weights. After eight reps, the trained muscle(s) should be much stressed. And take proper rest (I take about 2 minutes) between sets so that you can do the next set properly.

i like your workouts man, good stuff...just read up on the diet crap, the lifting portion you seem to have down pat...just remember to throw in drop sets here and there, and always switch from dumbbells to barbells and vice versa every few weeks, keep surprising your body!

Here is my diet and my goal is to gain as much lean mass that i can.

Finally Back Into It....

I just started it about a week ago and im going to continue with the workout/diet for 1 month and check my progress at the end of the month.

Why are you following a cutting diet of approximately 2000 kcals and trying to add lean mass? Your goals seem to be contradicting?

I want to get my BF down to around 10%. That is why I am on a cutting diet.

Id be taking in the carbs in the morning IMO for your diet.

It is possible, yet highly unlikely~ Largely depends on your "window of oppurtunity." If you are a beginner, you are much more likely to do so, for me, it would be virtually impossible to accomplish a reduction in fat mass and a simultaneous increase in fat free mass.

i thought when you are trying to cut, the majority of your carbs should com in PWO and PPWO? I may be wrong though. Also on my off day i consume one pro/carb meal in the am then pro/fat for the rest of the day.

On training days its all pro/fat up until PWO. you think i should through in a carb earlier on training days?
