ye, gb was reading it a bit wrong :P i wasnt saying keep the same routine every workout, got a bit tangle din my words. but when u start training properly for the first time, u dont want 2 fall into the trap of copying pro's workouts from a magazine and going monday - chest, tuesday - legs etc. u need 2 stick to compound movements, not isolation movements. and u can train each bodypart 2/3 times a week. 3 is pushing imo, but some ppl can manage it for a few weeks at a time. tht was me just working from memory of the exercises i did starting out, rather then doing concentration curls, reverse flys etc. for small muslces.

im gonna disagree with gb a bit on not worrying about wht the scales say. i always believe in having a set goal for a set period of time, u can get caught in a trap of just going through the motions otherwise. eg. u want to gain 15ibs so set yourself the goal of gaining 3ibs for Y weeks, 2ibs for Y weeks etc.

without a short term goal ur not going to make any real progress!

and gb, when did u become a mod? :P i missed tht.

wht ushuld remember when ur asking about workouts aswell is 75% of what u will do gaining muscle is eat! get a diet sorted out and post it up here for ppl 2 help u with.
