    I like Solaray Brand. Whats the garlic for?

    PROTEIN = 1 gram per day per pound of body weight divided by 3 drinks; for example if you weigh 99 lbs. yThree shakes why do you need three shakes....one post workout thats it and another if you can't fit a meal.ou would take 3 each 33 gram drinks (morning, afternoon and night) however with the protein you want to take your final drink of the day about 1.5 hours prior to bed time. You don’t want to go directly to bed with 33 grams of protein on your stomach. Why not?


    ANABOLICS = I like METHYL DEPOT made by Anabolikum MII sold at Go Nutrition Express, Louisville, Tennessee @ 865-977-8886. It’s hard to find but they still sell it. Take this product exactly as described on the bottle. It comes in a Red bottle with a Pink horse on the front. The product part number is NCR 0057-8621-57What is the purpose of YOU taking this?



    DIET

    You just need to have a sensible diet remembering the basics, frozen or fresh vegetables not canned, some bread but not within 2 hours of bedtime, fish, chicken, tuna, beans, fruits, water, skimmed milk, rice, and basically “grown” foods that make up a balanced meal and not man made preserved foods. It’s important not to eat one large meal, or even two medium meals, it’s better to eat small, balanced meals every 3 hours or so. Are you actually doing this or just posting what your friend told you to do?

    EXERCISE PROGRAM

    Cardio 5x week

    Monday /// Biceps and Triceps (3 sets 12 reps) /// Abs

    Preacher Curl (a starting weight that will max your muscle strength out by the 12th rep, then ad a little weight for the next set, and then a little more for the final set.) The important thing to remember about training is don’t cheat yourself and work your muscles to near failure. Keep this same mind set and procedure for all your exercises.

    Standing Curved Bar Curl (keep your back straight and do not use your body to “fling” the weight to the up position; make your arms do the work and you can assure this by simply keeping your back straight.)

    Standing Straight Bar Curl (again, just keep your back straight and don’t fling the weight; remember to keep resistance on the bar as you lower the weight.)

    First of all you are doing 2 of the same movements try doing hammer curls or reverse curls instead of two barbell curls

    Triceps Cable Pushdowns (this is a weight machine exercise with a cable connected to a weight stack. Stand straight, parallel to the weight stack and make your arms push the weight down and don’t use your upper body weight to push down on the stack; again remember to keep resistance on the weight when going back to the starting position.

    Donkey Kicks (have someone in the gym show you this exercise but basically it’s an exercise with a flat bench and you place your left knee up on the bench and your right leg off the bench, place your left hand on the bench as if your were going to get on all fours except for only half your body is on the bench. Hold your right arm along your body in an upside down L shape with a dumbbell in your hand, and then kick your arm back to work your tricep as a donkey would kick its back leg. Remember in this exercise you are doing 3 sets with each arm. You should always rest between 10-20 seconds between sets in all exercises. AKA Dumbell Kickbacks



    Wrist Curls (use a dumbbell or a straight bar and do curls but only moving and working your wrist. You are not curling with your arms; you are only curling your wrist. This should come at the end of your workout

    Dips (find a dip machine which is a rack of a sort with two handles like wheel barrel handles. Hold yourself up on these handles with your feet off the ground and “dip” meaning lowering yourself as low as you can and then raising yourself back to the start position. they have dip machines if you cannot support your body weight

    ABS

    Lying 6 inch leg raises (on your back, heals together and lift your feet 6 inches keeping your back flat on the ground. Do 20 at medium speed with no rest then put your feet up on a bench and do 25 crunches (1/4 sit up flexing your stomach muscles when you crunch, then 15 Lying 6 inch leg raises, then back to 20 crunches again putting your feet up on the bench. Do your ab work out every day, even on off days. Your stomach muscles and calf muscles are the densest in your body and the hardest to develop.


    Wednesday /// Back and Legs 3 sets 12 reps /// Cardio /// Abs

    Leg Sled (this is a machine that you sit in normally with your legs at an incline and you are pushing a flat plate with weight connected to it in some fashion, either by a cable or by manually placing plates (weight) on bars that extend from each side of the plate. Do all your training remembering that your 12th rep of each set should max out your muscle. You are the only one who knows when its time to add more weight to your sets.DO SQUATS FOLLOWED BY THIS SQUAT SQUAT SQUAT

    Calve Extensions (this is a machine exercise that you can either stand in or sit upon and place part of the machine on your shoulders or knees respectively with weight attached to it. Follow the same MO as your other sets. If you do not have a machine you can simply hold weight on your knees with your hands and sit on a bench. The exercise is done by basically tippy toeing with weight on your body, thus working your calve muscles. Do one set with your toes pointing straight, one set with your toes pointing out and one set with your toes pointing in. This works “around” the entire calve muscle. Should be towards the end of your workout

    Leg Extension (machine exercise with weight upon your ankles, butt seated, handle grips and you are extending your legs. Remember no more than 20 rest between sets. Should be done after squats/leg press

    Squats (I recommend you do this exercise in a machine that has a safety lock to catch the bar if your leg muscles fail. You’ll need a squat rack to do this exercise. You can learn a lot by reading the machine instructions or posters on the wall, or by watching others but it’s preferred that you read and don’t learn bad habits or an improper way to do an exercise. There is nothing worse in the gym than expending energy and hard work to do an exercise that does nothing for your body because it’s being performed improperly. Again squats first I suggest you do it free form and have someone correctly show you how.

    Where is your workout for hamstrings? I suggest doing some straight leg deadlifts/lunges/or leg curls

    Hyperextensions (this is an exercise whey your are face down in a machine, up off the floor with a place for you to “hook” the back of your ankles. Interlock your fingers behind your head as if you were doing a sit up, except you are going to be hyper-extending your back. The exercise begins with you parallel to the floor, you bend your body down to an upside down L shape and then extend your body back to parallel except this time going slightly beyond parallel to hyper-extend your back. This exercise should be felt in your lower back. Tip: keep your buttocks flexed the entire time during this exercise to tighten and tone your bottom as well as define your lower back muscles. Do this towards the end of your workout

    Reverse Flies (this is a machine exercise where there are two cable handles on each side of you hooked to a weight stack. Stand in the center of the stacks of weights and grab each cable, stand toes shoulder width apart and bend over slightly like your getting ready to do an Incredible Hulk flex for the camera and pull your hands together at your waist. Basically you are flexing your chest with weight attached to your arms.

    Front Pull Downs (this is a machine exercise with a cable short bar attached to a weight stack. The bar is big enough for you to put a motorcycle gripped hand on each side of the cable. I prefer to use a thick rope when I do this exercise. Keep your back straight and pull the weight down to your abs. Keep tension on the weight as you return back to the starting position. Start with this.


    Where are your deadlifts? If you are serious about lifting try doing some light deadlifts.

    Cardiovascular (any 20 minute work out that keeps your heart rate at its target pulse for your age, gender and weight. Read machine instructions. You can run for this as well. It has been proven that fat storage cells have only begun to be used at 20minutes I would suggest 30+ PWO however 20 is better than nothing

    Friday /// Chest 3 sets 12 reps /// Abs

    Flat Bench Press (this can be done on a machine or on a free weight bench but it is preferred and safer at your experience level to do this exercise on a machine or with a “spotter” (safety person) on a free weight bench. Basically it’s you, a bar, some weight and you are lifting the weight off the bar rack, slowly lowering it to your chest and pressing it back up to the top, fully extending your arm. You are doing the same thing with a machine but it’s just a lot safer. Remember to keep resistance up and down so don’t just let the weight “plop” down on you and then lift it off. Use a controlled smooth movement up and down. At any time that you see that the beginning weight is going to be too heavy for you to complete 12 reps, stop the exercise and lower the weight so that you can max your muscles out by the 12th rep of a set. Take a small notebook with you and keep track of the weight that you do for each exercise on each set, basically tracking your progress. You should naturally “need” to increase your weight at each 6 week mark.

    Incline Bench Press (same exercise as above but your back is slightly inclined on the bench and your are lowering the weight to just above your breast and not across them as you would in a flat bench press.

    Decline Bench Press (same exercise as the flat bench press and the incline bench press except now your back is declined and you are lowering the weight to just below your breast, just to the bottom of your rib cage. You don't really need this replace with cable cross overs or some other type of fly action.

    Pec-Dec (Pectorals) this is a machine exercise that you sit in and your arms are placed in a holder as if you are “clapping” with your arms bent at the elbow, fingertips pointed up, palms facing away from you. You perform the exercise by pushing the palms of your hands together thus moving the weight. Flex your chest muscles at the end of each rep.

    Ab workout as aforementioned: You should try to do your ab work out every day and at least 30 of cardio 3 times a week.

    Change your routine about every 6 weeks by supplementing other exercises that work the same body part as the previous exercise in your routine. Remember your body “develops” a muscle memory every 6 weeks and it takes change to continue strength and development gains.

    Hey you asks for stats

  4. #4
    clen isn't a steroid so you won't put any solid muscle on. Anavar is a mild steroid know more for strength then size gains. You'll get firmer without getting physically larger.

    i read somewhere that your body can only take in or use 5grams of creatine a day. i used creatine at this amount for a few months and put on alot of puffy mass for the most part. it works good but ill hold it to 5 grams that is plenty!!

    Wow you really did read all that didn't you? I take everything he suggested, but I felt weird about the Meythl Depot, so I never started it. The shakes seem excessive, but I have been taking them. I appreciate the advice on the weight lifting. I do other exercises too, but just have the ones here that he suggested. I usually do 45min+ cardio 5x week. He was suggesting 20min at a minimum.

    Well I mean you aren't an idiot when it comes to this. How long have you seriously been strictly eating well and doing your routine?

    Sure we can suggest all the gear in the world to you but if you are lying you are only going to cheat yourself by wasting your money and your time.

    Throw in shoulder exercises as well as some core lifts such as I stated. I see you already have bench pressing and squatting which is good IMO. Try to get shoulder presses as well as some delt movments like lateral raises. You dont need a spotter on bench unless you are new to it. youll also want to add in dumbell or barbell rows...some type of rowing motion is always beneficial. Pullups? They are great for widening and strengthening the back. Deadlifts as stated will add core muscle. Your goal is muscle right? You CAN be an animal in the gym and feminine outside the gym. Push it and move some weight. Diet seems to need a bit of work, your protein should be from natural foods such as chicken, tuna, beef, etc...NOT shakes. I like shakes but only get an extra oomph on the prtoein intake for the day. I do not depend on protein shakes to get my required amount of protein. You are on the right track tho just learn a little bit here and youll get where you need to. Where did you get all this info from, did you type it or did a personal trainer or someone give this plan to you?

    A friend of mine who used to get people in shape for the army wrote it out for me. This is exactly what he used to do, he just adjusted it for a female. The methyl depot scared me, so I researched it a bit, but couldnt find anything positive, so I decided not to take it. I eat quite a bit of chicken and fish each day...the shakes make me feel really full, but he said they would for awhile, but I feel like I'm eating or drinking shakes 24/7

    I will start doing that!! That sounds like a more reasonable amount of shakes. It was taking me like an hour and a half to eat breakfast everyday.

    You had mentioned previously that you wanted to take it "to the next level"? For what, may I ask? Unless your going for a fitness competion or bodybuilding comp., whats the point??? u alerady look good and have hella lotta experience with diet and lifting. I think the level your at is fine.

    Carman electra isnt totally ripped she has a great body with a BF% that is perfectally porportinate to her body type, and it looks as you do too.. stay off that shyt girl not worth the sides... you may be a bit too critical of yourself, perhaps, as I think most of us are... but if all this is to attract the opposite sex trust me more guys will be talkin to u without all that muscle you want, but of course a lil tone looks nice that goes with out say.. I dunno u dont need it IMHO. just my .02.

    cut the protein shakes down to 1 shake PWO. You can even add some things such as oatmeal, eggs, natty peanut butter, bannana, etc. to the shake to give it more nutrients. My PWO shake contains 1 cup of oatmeal ground up. Your body's uptake of nutrients after workout is intense so you want your PWO shake or meal to be at its best. You can continue the creatine if you want, even cut it down to 1 creatine shake a day. I like creatine either morning and PWO or PWO and night.

    I bet it's getting crazy there now for the superbowl. I used to live off of 67th and Cactus.

    I'll try mixing stuff in the shakes. The protein shakes taste alright on their own...may throw in a lil' somethim somethim for more nutrients. The creatine shakes taste awful, but not too sure what to mix in with grape flavor.

    Not too crazy but I havent ventured out that way since last weekend and they had HUGE tents all over the place. Im pumped about all the parties coming to Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix, etc...its def. going to be a great weekend! Yeah im firmilier with your area too. Streets are getting easier to learn now, its a big city (phoenix and surrounding).

    As for your shakes, as Tai states and I agree with him that whole food is better for anabolism, i do like PWO shakes due to its availability in consuming as well as the BCAA's that it contains. And yeah Id def. go crazy a bit watching the cals you put in the shake. When I mixed my bananna cream protein powder with 3egg whites, oatmeal, natty peanut butter and just a bit of flaxseed oil, that thing tasted like cake batter! DELICIOUS! Hahah but that was during bulking. Anyways, yeah the crap flavored creatine really only water to mix with it. Is it loaded with sugar for flavoring and "to help your body uptake it better"? If it is just plain flavored creatine monohydrate (1tbsp = 5grams) then Id just spoon it (put the 5grams in your mouth and wash down with water). first couple times I gagged tho.

    Ditto, If someone you are with or is interested in you doesnt like that then i guess your not for them. Plain and simple, too many people trying to mold other people (xfiance) into something you are not. Do it for yourself.

    Oh, I'm not with anyone and perfectly fine about it. I don't have a problem attracting the opposite sex, but this isn't about that for me.

    I had my friend write out a VERY specific plan, because I do better with very specific detail...i.e. my endless amounts of questions. I hate wondering...should I be doing this or taking this? I can be a very motivated person, but doubts take the air out of my tires. That is why I'm trying to get well informed, so I can alter this workout plan to get optimal results.
