    ahhhh now we know why you are at that weight. Please read http://www.steroid.com/workout.php

    First of all do you realize you use your triceps when you do most of your chest workouts?

    Since you are doing arms on day 1 you cant train your chest on day 2.

    Secondly have you heard of rest? You should only train every muscle group once every 8 days. Your muscles grow when your resting, not in the gym!

    And why is it you do abs every single day? I'm beginning to wonder who taught you how to workout and set up your splits. I think your first day in the gym was when you shot up aas for the first time. I dont mean to flame but your a clown, dont expect anyone to support you when you walk into something serious with not having done any research at all! Your a kid that wants to be in the trend of getting big by doing AAS but without putting any time into learning how train and eat properly.

    No! You should train every other day. Train every set till muscle failure, workout every muscle every 8 days like the link says that i posted.

    Forearms arent really important to focus on since they get trained from other muscle groups.

    Your schedule should look something like this:

    Mon: Chest, Biceps
    tues: off
    Wed: Legs
    thurs: off
    Fri: Shoulders, Triceps
    Satff
    Sun: Back, Traps
    Mon: off

    On your off days you could stick to cardio or do some core workouts.
    Make sure you complete every set to muscle failure
    Meaning you lift every set up until it is impossible to lift another rep. It is best to have a workout partner to spot you every set. Please read that link i posted it goes into anabolic workouts in great detail.

    i want to switch up my routine bi-weekly or so to keep my muscles guessing, though.

    Day 1

    Bicep Workout: Your biceps workout should consist of exercises such as,

    * Bicep Curls with a barbell, dumbbells and machine.
    * Bicep Concentration
    * Preacher Curls with barbell and dumbbells.
    * Incline Dumbbell Curls
    * Hammer Curls

    Day 2

    Triceps Workout: Triceps can be developed with the help of exercises like,

    * Triceps Dumbbell Extensions
    * Lying Barbell Extensions
    * Triceps Presses
    * Double Bar Triceps Dips

    Day 3

    Chest Workout: For the growth and development of chest muscles, here are some exercises which will prove useful.

    * Bench Press
    * Peck Deck Flies
    * Dumbbell Bench Press
    * Decline Bench Press (Barbell bench press on a decline bench)
    * Incline Bench Press (Barbell bench press on an incline bench)

    Day 4

    Shoulder Workout: For shoulders you can perform exercises such as,

    * Shoulder Press (Barbell and Dumbbell)
    * Front Lateral Raises
    * Side Lateral Raises
    * Reverse Peck Deck

    Day 5

    Back Workout: Back should also be given equal importance in the workout routine. Here are some useful back exercises

    * Deadlifts
    * Pulls Ups
    * Seated Pulley Rows
    * Lat Pull downs

    Day 6

    Leg Workout: Legs are often overlooked by many fitness lovers. Some leg workouts that can develop your leg and calf muscles are given below.

    * Hack Squats (Machine)
    * Barbell Hack Squats (Free Weight)

    * Stretches
    * Calf Raises

    Towards the end of all the workouts, do some exercises to develop the abs and wrist muscles.

    also found this. seems to be pretty basic and easily changeable.

    Hmmmm well this schedule looks to be wasteful of time. Your only going to be in the gym for 30 minutes at a time max. Why not knock out 2 at once then give your body a rest day. Your body grows better when you give a day of rest after training. This workout looks like it was designed for a tennis player not for mass. Looks like your not listening to anything i tell you so i give up, i forgot you were the expert. Good luck

    Would you believe that I didnt agree with any of this either (bold)? You are really good at parroting information. Do you know the science behind any of the advise you so anxiously give out?

    How is it not? Tell me, if you replenish your glycogen and do not experience DOMS why would it be inefficient? Especially being on an AAS compound?

    Its one thing to establish a reasonable argument, its another to be a wise ass lacking a rebuttal.

    cus if you worked out your tri hard enough for growth then your stregth in your chest exersises should be compromised leaving your workout less than optimal imho.....

    Ok well to keep things in perspective, No matter what kind of workout you are doing, if your arms are involved you are working them out. In the descent of a chin up, you are working out your tricep isometrically. If you do a shoulder press, you are working your tricep. If you do a deadlift, you are working your triceps. Same goes for all secondary muscles.

    I see a trend of people who give advice to people like they are training for the Olympics or an IFBB competition.

    One of the many brilliant things injected said was
    Make sure you complete every set to muscle failure
    That is great advice. But what the hell does that mean? If the advice is partially right it is 100% wrong. That line right there could mean anything.

    This along with most of the stuff he has said holds no water and he has no explanation for it. Common sense doesnt always prevail with the human body.

    So subtracting the abs, whats wrong with tris after chest?

    So maybe you can answer the question injected couldnt. If You replenish your muscle glycogen and are not experiencing DOMS, why cant you work a secondary muscle group following a primary?

    If you bench press one day, and you are not experiencing DOMS, should you bench press again the next day? NO

    Same thing with triceps, even if they aren't sore, they still need rest to grow.

    However, its not that big of a difference because triceps are not major muscles, but I personally think triceps and chest should be on the same day.

    Not to be a jerk but this happened to me so I only assume its fair. You have to be 18 to use the boards so essentially you'd get kicked like I did.

    What are you accomplishing by resting?

    Like I told the member prior to you about this same discussion, you use your triceps in all movements isometrically that requires the arms for stabilization or execution. The triceps and the biceps are both agonistic and antagonistic in each movement that they participate in during the eccentric and concentric phases. So does that mean you cant do arms after back day? Shoulder day? At all?

    u CAN do whatever u want, but im just saying the most effective way to do it is by not doing chest right after triceps

    also u use triceps way more in benching than in bicep curls

    You, like every other parrot, avoid the actual question at hand and just start hurling out common knowledge in the sign of a challenge. I didnt tell you were right or wrong. You said you cant work out your arms the first day of the week. All I did was ask you why.

    Why did you face palm after you saw his routine?
