Building Muscle with food (Workout)

[Hsheer]

You could, I don't think 12 sets would hurt, but personally i'd probably replace the pushdown with the press, it's a way better exercise IMO.

thank you very much gbrice, I thought that pushdown is a must in triceps training. I do really like the press excersice

1. I think you have too many sets in there. I can go through a workout in 45min with a good 2.5min rest in between my sets in 45min. I would go with 10-12 sets and maximize your effort and not your time spent.

2. Don't listen to the guy saying you need to go low reps and eat everything until you puke as advice to get big. Low reps are for strength training, and 1-2 rep ranges can be done poorly with or without a spotter and can lead to injury. If you are looking to body build I find the best rep range between 8-12, with my first set being a 6 rep set with a heavier weight.

3. Go and read the WHOLE 'sling shot' training post. Its great and works very, very well.

I'm already heading to the link you have provided, How many sets do you recommend ?

And let me tell you something that will make you laugh, all of the trainers here in kuwait (not only my gym) and they are all foreigners (mostly from Philipin) they are telling me that this routine is useless and made up for fitness only not bodybuilding

as per their opinion .. i should train each muscle twice a week with atleast six excercises of 3 sets.

for example:

Chest/Bi
shoulders/tri
back/traps
off
repeat

and the nearest routine to what i'm seeing here is

Chest
Shoulder/Trap
Back
Legs
arms
off
repeat

and as i said atleast 6 excersices for each muscle, But the problem is that they are big so somtimes you think that they maybe be right and you are doing something wrong !

no problem bro, and IMO the tricep pushdown is most definitely NOT a must to build good tri's.

The 'musts' in triceps training I feel are Skull Crushers, but they can be very tough on the tendons of your elbows, both interior and exterior. I do them, but they cause me tendon pain....so you have to weigh what is more important to you. Trust me elbow pain is no picnic and if you don't have it, I would avoid it.

I train 5 days a week, and because I train to failure and train compound free weight exercises with maximum expenditure in a 10-12 set range I only train muscle groups once a week. I like to give my muscles ample recovery time before assaulting them again.

I have a 5 day on 2 day off split every week. Tuesdays and Saturdays are my off days from the gym.
