That back workout looked hurting. Get some deads and some dumbell rows.

Other than that we need to know your goals to help you out.

[fortherep]

Goals.....to get big and be cut, if u want more specifics just ask, but my goals are pretty generic, and i dont do any anabolics whatsoever....sorry

I've never responded well and gotten big using alot of sets, so imo it's too many sets and the food needs to be increased.

[DARKSEID]

what are your stats?

[fortherep]

im 5'8" 160... bench 4reps 145 for 2 sets and 225 for 10 for 2sets, for my squats i've got 245 for 4 sets of 8....ive got about 11percent body fat now.

[fortherep]

i basically want ur guys advice on what u think i can do to really start to see some improvements....i am happy with my workout, but am new to the sport , so if theres anything u guys can add to help me on my way.......

[RP7]

Improvements?
1) Train, 2) Eat, 3) Sleep

Since you have a grasp on training, I would hed to the diet forum, submit a comprehensive diet and goals, and let it get torn to pieces.

ive started my days now with a cup of oatmeal, a multi vitamin, and now a flaxseed oil pill. What exactly does the flaxseed oil do, and why is the oatmeal such an important part of the breakfast?

[RP7]

Oatmeal is quality carbs - they're whole grain and slow burning. I like throwing in some unflavoured whey in my oatmeal for a good breakfast.

Flax? Well what doesnt it do?
"Stimulating steroid production Systemization of hormones Mediating immune response Directing endocrine hormones to target cells Regulating smooth muscle and autonomic reflexes Construction of healthy cell walls Transportation of oxygen to body cells Keeping saturated fats mobile in the blood stream Regulation of nerve transmission Serving as the primary energy source for the heart muscle"

for your routine...as far as your workload goes chest tris try maybe 4 sets of a barbell and some sets with dumbells. Pick either cable x-over or pec deck not both. For you bi and tri work try fewer sets like 6-8. Small muscles don't need 12 sets. Same for shoulders under 10 sets is fine

[fortherep]

i have been startin my chest routine with incline for a month then i switched to flat and saw huge gains. I really like doin that, and i like finishing my workout with some flies cuz they give the muscle a nice stretch

you're crazy man...crazy...
