    Thrsd - Legs (Quads/Hams/Calves)
    Friday - Chest/Back

    and the following week i keep on rollin w/ Shldr and arms on monday and so on.....

    Bottom line, EW i do twice the same (switching some excercices obviously) and that makes me doing all bodyparts twice over 3 weeks, and made me progress a lot!!
    I'm asking this question of all the guys I see in here who seem to know alot more than me about working out...
    QUESTION: Do you do cardio on WEDS only?
    When you do cardio, how long do you do it for (in minutes)?

    I chose to do cardio that very cuz that the perfect split for me to balance my workouts and my rest days.

    I used to do 3x20 minutes (treadmill, stepper, bike) but now that i found out it actually ruined my workout the day after, i just go for 2x20 minutes and i don't do stepper if i have to hit the legs the day after.

    That's it.

    WOW, I am trying to bulk right now. I thought I read on a sticky somewhere that even when bulking you should do at least 3 days of cardio between 40 and 60 minutes to keep the fat gains to a minimum.

    I've been doing cardio 4 times a week for 50 minutes........is this "ruining" my gains.......and......how is 3x20 minutes ruining your workout?

    Call me slow Chest but looking back thru the thread (when you were bulking) I can't find exactly how you do (or did at that time) your cardio, or I just am mis-interpreting what I see.

    Anyway, what do you recommend for a person who is trying to bulk (cardio). I see your weight routine, very impressive and much thanks for spending your time to share it with us

    40 to 60 minutes 3x is way too much....JMO

    If your goal is to bulk, then why do you care about that much cardio......??

    2x20 minutes is alright right now and 3 was too much and especially day before hitting my legs......my squat was 45 lbs down.......way too much to even be satisfied by anyother exercice after!

    Depends on the individual. If you gain fat easily, I would say 3-4 times a week. I was reading in Pinnacle's sticky in the steroid forum (GREAT read btw) that he does cardio every day while bulking. While bulking, I'll be honest...I didnt do ANY cardio. I eat very clean though, and still didn't gain all that much fat overall in the 4 months that you would think. Next bulking run I'll probably do cardio 3 times a week at 35 minutes..

    The sticky I read said that your body doesnt start burning fat until after 20 minutes of cardio, therefore anything less than 20 minutes is a waste of time (of course this is one person's opinion).

    I am on just entering my second week of a bulking AAS cycle, and I know I shouldn't expect anything this soon, but I am not really putting on that much weight, so I will cut down my cardio til no more than 3 times a week and no more than 30 minutes to see how this works out.

    I was doing cardio every other day and weights every other day, with a day or two off per week (usually only one). I see in both your's and chest's workout routine you both take at least two days off.........
    Recovery is very important, huh??

    I've read the same sticky (very good reading). I think I am going to cut down to 3 times a week and go 30 to 35 minutes. Right now I am beginning my second week of an AAS bulking cycle and tho I know not to expect anything significant this early, I feel as though I am not bulking correctly......

    I took an extra day off this week too, so I am going to the gym tonight and do what I was going to do yesterday now, then do cardio tomorrow, and get back into my routine on Monday.

    Thanks to both of you guys for sharing your experiences with me

    Cause I am new and don't know any better....??
    I guess because I have been working out for about 5 years (solid that is). I am almost 36 years old and thought I would give it a shot (no pun intended)

    Well fair enough. I just think you should learn to crawl before you walk. As in...diet properly, train properly, rest properly for 2-3 years NATURALLY before you turn to aas. Seems to me like you are still learning the ropes with these questions..

    Yeah, I have been working out for awhile but don't have complete knowledge of diet and training. Then again, what am I saying....I have seen 3 trainers.
    What I have done in the past 5 years as far as diet and training has been concerned.....I have integrated numerous training ideas into my own. I have about 4 different routines that I split up throughout the year (to keep my muscles guessing).
    Diet has been mostly on my own. I have just tried various ideas on what to eat. About 3 years ago is when I found out that I had to eat more than 4 times a day. But only recently have I discovered that (according to another sticky which has this cool little formula) my body needs over 3400 calories a day in order to bulk (as much as 3600), but no less than 3400. I need 79 grams of fat, 316 grams of both protein and carbs.
    I ask alot of questions because I mainly want to find out what others like you do. (Those of you who have spent alot of time in the research dept. of training and dieting).
    On top of that, I felt that I have reached a plateau and wish to change it.
    Hey, I'm off to the gym for some chest and back. Thanks for the comments.

    No problem. Not trying to get you down at all, just trying to help. I actually think you need much more than what you listed macro wise. Shoot for 400g protein...500-600g carbs and 100g fat. THEN..you will see true muscle growth (even naturally).

    'Too mucht is relative to: your individual recuperative abilities.. your food intake etc.

    cus cardio + quality diet + quality training + quality rest= quality gains

    Simply put.. if cardio the day prior stops you from pushing maximal weights.. drop that session.

    That's one of the reasons i do pwo cardio also... one taxing session daily (training + cardio) is sure to be less taxing overall than the cumulative effects of two sessions per day.. in my opinion.

    I hate my legs now. They have lost some size since I was bulking..and they arent cut up. Basically if I were to show them..I'd want them to be one way or the other. I'll throw some up when I get back close to 30"

    NARK!!!!! Hello.....I am learning that all is relative (weights, lifting, techniques, days-on/days-off, diet, etc. etc. etc.) SO, I guess I just need to keep logs of what I am eating, how much I am lifting and when, and how long I do cardio and when......then after a period of time check to see if my goals are being met.........

    I know you have your workout posted around here somewhere so I'll resist the temptation to asking you how much/often you do of cardio (like how many days, and for how many minutes).......But, if you could answer that would be cool, too..!!!!

    I guess a good idea would be to try and find someone around my age who closely matches my stats and ask him what he does......

    I don't get offended over any type of constructive criticism.....that kinda goes against the point of learning......so yeah, no worries here my man.

    Riddle me this tho, why do you think I need to up my macros?
    And, that would call for me to up my calorie intake too, wouldn't it?
    Which is fine with me.......I do want to gain, and I understand that some fat gain is inevitible.......I just used to be a real fatty. It just scares me cause I can get used to eating reeeeeeal fast......WHAT YOU PROPOSE IS ALOT OF GRUB......LOL, but I can eat all day long everyday if need be.

    What I like to do is eat around 2-2.25g protein per lb of bodyweight and 2.5-3g of carbs per lb of bodyweight. Some ppl may say thats too much..but I like to take advantage of bulking. I did 2.5g protein and 2.5-3g carb and .5g for fat all per lb of bodyweight last time and I didnt gain much fat, and, like I stated earlier, I virtually did 0 cardio. Either way..personal trial and error.

    Here's what's important to me:

    Eat (a lot)

    Train and bust your ass (sometimes till you puke, and that happens trust me)

    Eat again

    Rest (like 7/8 hours is my daily basis)

    And.........start again!

    LOL....I guess I need to workout harder.....I've felt somewhat nauseated, but have never actually puked.
    I need to sleep more too, my sleep patterns aren't all that great. I'm eating as much as I can take........mostly clean.......one cheat meal (sometimes 2), per week.

    I'm losing motivation. I have slacked on the cardio the last few days. I had a cheat meal a couple days ago and gained some fat. Still losing size and strength. Cutting pisses me off because I can never get lean and I always lose strength. I'll give it one more week and if I dont see results that I want..Im gonna start bulking again.

    Leg session later today cuz I missed it yesterday. I dont wanna get off schedule again..

    53g protein/27g carb/3g fat

    1 cup brown rice

    46g protein/34g carb/3g fat


    3. 1 chicken breast

    4. 50g whey isolate
    1/2 cup oats (Preworkout)

    55g protein/27g carb/3g fat

    5. PWO 40g whey isolate
    80g dextrose

    40g protein/80g carb/0g fat

    (PWO cardio 15-25mins)

    6. PPWO 1 chicken breast
    1 medium sweet potato or 1 cup brown rice
    1.5 cups broccoli

    48g protein/ (42/33)g carb/3g fat

    7. 6 oz tuna 1/2 tbspn mayo

    33g protein/0g carb/7g fat

    8. 40g whey isolate

    2789 calories. Seems a lil high. I sometimes have less than this though. Sometimes I wont get around to the last meal of the day..


    It is really hard for me to get anywhere near relatively lean. I have tried and tried and I can't seem to get under 12% bodyfat....ever. I have even been doing 45min AM cardio and 15-25 min PWO cardio for the last 3 weeks with clen and I still don't really look any better..

    Can you edit the post and throw some macros in there, and also give me some current stats. Also, has your weight moved at all?

    You do realize that your weight will move a couple pounds and then it will more than likely plateau after 1-4 wks, in which case, you have to re-adjust the diet and make some changes. I LIke to set a baseline for my protein and fats and keep those the same throughout my whole diet, and manipulate carbs from there whether it just be lowering them steadily or cycling them, or lowering them to a certain point and then start cycling them.

    We will get you worked out....think about how many guys around the US do competitions every year...ALOT....and ALOT of them get peeled. If they can do it...so can you. Quit telling yourself it is impossible, b/c it is most definately not. I thought the same thing until I got with my prep guy, then I was like WOW, and I also learned tons and realized I didnt know half of what I thought I did. I could lose weight and get pretty lean, but not super lean...and the main thing was I definately was not able to do it myself without losing strength and muscle.

    Yeah..I had my carbs in the 200-230g area for awhile and moved them to 150 and I started noticing some strength loss. Actually it was from recent sessions. I bumped it back up and I am going to bump the cardio up instead. I've noticed better results increasing cardio rather than decreasing carbs/protein/fat.

    I'll throw the macros up a bit later...

    I WOULD THROW A WHOLE EGG OR TWO IN HERE OR SCRAMBLE IN SOME LEAN BEEF INSTEAD OF ALL EGGWHITES.

    53g protein/27g carb/3g fat

    2. 1 chicken breast
    1 cup brown rice
    SOME GREEN VEGGIES WOULD BE GOOD HERE

    46g protein/34g carb/3g fat


    3. 1 chicken breast
    1 medium sweet potato

    47g protein/42g carb/4g fat
    I WOULD ADD MORE CHICKEN AND/OR LEAN BEEF TO THIS MEAL AS WELL AS SOME MORE CARBS AND CUT OUT THAT PRE-WORKOUT SHAKE....7 MEALS WILL SUFFICE FINE FOR TRAINING DAYS. GIVE YOURSELF A GOOD HOUR BEFORE TRAINING AFTER THIS MEAL, THAT WAY BY THE END OF TRAINING YOU WILL BE MORE DEPLETED AND GET MORE OUT OF YOUR CARDIO. ALSO I WOULD THROW IN SOME MORE GREEN VEGGIES.

    4. 50g whey isolate
    1/2 cup oats (Preworkout)

    55g protein/27g carb/3g fat

    5. PWO 40g whey isolate
    80g dextrose


    40g protein/80g carb/0g fat

    I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING THIS PWO SHAKE AFTER YOUR PWO CARDIO?!?! OTHERWISE, YOU ARE USING THE NUTRIENTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR MUSCLE RECOVER AS AN ENERGY SOURCE DURING CARDIO WHICH IS A HUUUUUGGGEEE MISTAKE. TAKE YOUR PWO SHAKE DIRECTLY AFTER YOUR PWO CARDIO..TRUST ME ON THIS. IF YOU FEEL YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED SOMETHING RIGH TAFTER TRAINING, TAKE A MOUTHFULL OF BCAAA POWDER OR GLUTAMINE AND HOP ON THE TREADMILL.


    (PWO cardio 15-25mins)

    6. PPWO 1 chicken breast
    1 medium sweet potato or 1 cup brown rice
    1.5 cups broccoli
    I WOULD CUT THE CARBS DOWN SOME ON THIS MEAL (ONLY USE 1/2C BRWN RICE) AND MAYBE ADD A FEW CARBS TO BREAKFAST SUCH AS SOME STRAWBERRIES OR BLUEBERRIES IN YOUR OATS. THROW SOME SOY SAUCE ON THERE FOR SOME SODIUM AS WELL.

    48g protein/ (42/33)g carb/3g fat

    7. 6 oz tuna 1/2 tbspn mayo I WOULD USE 1.5TBS OF NATTY PB RIGHT HERE...FOR SODIUM AND GOOD FATS...AND IT WILL KEEP YOU FULLER FEELING...AND IT WILL ALSO UP THAT PROTEIN COUNT FOR THIS MEAL. SOME MORE VEGGEIS LIKE BROCCOLLI WOULD BE GOOD AS WELL. CARBS FROM FIBER ARE NEGLGABLE, SO DONT WORRY ABOUT THEM.

    33g protein/0g carb/7g fat

    8. 40g whey isolate
    1 tbspn flax

    40g protein/0g carb/14g fat

    362g protein/252g carb/37g fat

    I WOULD BUMP PROTEIN UP TO AROUND 400G, ALTHOUGH ITS HARD TO KNOW WITHOUT KNOWING YORU CURRENT BODYWEIGHT, BUT I BELIEVE YOU ARE AROUND 230-240 RIGHT?? LOWER THE CARBS DOWN TO AROUND 220ISH, AND SLOWLY REMOVE THEM FROM THERE. UP THE FATS TO 80-90G. KEEP THE FATS AND PROTEIN THE SAME AND ADJUST CARBS ACCORDING TO PROGRESS.

    2789 calories. Seems a lil high. I sometimes have less than this though. Sometimes I wont get around to the last meal of the day.. IF THOSE CALS ARE ACCURATE THAT SHOULD BE PRETTY GOOD FOR RIGHT NOW...MAYBE A TBACK IT DOWN TO 2500 CALS. I HOPE YOUR NON-TRAINING DAYS LOOKS DIFFERENT THOUGH. ON NON TRAINING DAYS I WOULD BE HAVING ABOUT 80G LESS OF CARBS AND ABOUT 50-60 LESS GRAMS OF PROTEIN. KEEP FATS THE SAME. IT WILL KEEP ENERGY HIGH. ALSO, I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU USE 96% LEAN GROUND BEEF DURING 1-2 OF YOUR MEALS AS A PROTEIN SOURCE, IT IS PRETTY MUCH INTERCAHGNEBALE WITH CHICKEN, BUT I HAVE FOUND IT TO REALLY HELP HOLD STRENGTH. UP YOUR SODIUM...THROW SOME SALT AND/OR SOY SAUCE ON YOUR FOOD...THIS WILL HELP RETAIN MUSCLE AS WELL BY KEEPING MORE WATER IN THE MUSCLE AND KEEPING YOU FULLER AND ABLE TO ACHIEVE MORE OF A PUMP...WHICH WILL HELPO STRENGTH AS WELL.


    It is really hard for me to get anywhere near relatively lean. I have tried and tried and I can't seem to get under 12% bodyfat....ever. I have even been doing 45min AM cardio and 15-25 min PWO cardio for the last 3 weeks with clen and I still don't really look any better..

    i aggree w/ him here about the whole eggs and i would reduce oats and use half a grapefruit for it has special fiber and is actually LOWER ON THE GI than oats

    53g protein/27g carb/3g fat

    2. 1 chicken breast
    1 cup brown rice
    rice is stupid but yea add a veggie like he said


    46g protein/34g carb/3g fat


    3. 1 chicken breast
    1 medium sweet potato

    47g protein/42g carb/4g fat

    4. 50g whey isolate
    1/2 cup oats (Preworkout)

    55g protein/27g carb/3g fat

    5. PWO 40g whey isolate
    80g dextrose
    u really think u need that much dextrose.. i have abuot 240lbs of LBM and i have about 45whey and 30-50dextrose pwo and a meal 45min later THE MEAL IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN the shake! u just need a shake to shunt cortisol for 30min or so till u can prepare a proper meal w/ a medium GI carb and deceant amount of protein i usually have whteat pasta and chickn breasts

    40g protein/80g carb/0g fat

    (PWO cardio 15-25mins)
    if ur doing cardio in the morning then this is just idiotic

    6. PPWO 1 chicken breast
    1 medium sweet potato or 1 cup brown rice
    1.5 cups broccoli
    not bad to each their own

    48g protein/ (42/33)g carb/3g fat

    7. 6 oz tuna 1/2 tbspn mayo
    GET SOME CELERY IN THERE or another veggie!
    33g protein/0g carb/7g fat

    8. 40g whey isolate
    whey before bed is pointless ESPECIALLY ISOLATE which is only active for an hour.. u think u will even fall asleep in that hour? i always eat eggs or slamon before bed w/ veggies
    1 tbspn flax

    40g protein/0g carb/14g fat

    362g protein/252g carb/37g fat
