    Hey guys I just started getting back into the gym and I'm really motivated this time. I would like some feedback on my workout plan just too make sure I'm doing everything right. I work out 3 days a week and I'm looking to pack on muscle. Right now I weigh in around 160 at 5'9. I have a pretty good diet right now occasionally I slip up. I'm taking whey protein right now but looking for more supplements. I do cardio after my workouts on an elliptical for 10 to 20 minutes.

    Monday- Chest

    Barbell Flat Bench on a smith machine- 4 sets I increase the weight each time so I start 10 reps then 8... 6...4... I do this pyramid for each exercise (I would like some feedback with that also)

    Incline Dumbbell press 4 sets

    Cable Fly's 4 sets

    Flat Dumbbell press 4 sets


    Wednesday- Back and Shoulders

    Back Routine

    Lat Pull downs- 4 sets

    Lat Pull Downs behind the head- 4 sets

    Rowing Machine- 4 sets

    Dumbbell rows- 4 sets

    shoulder routine

    Dumbbell Military Press Sitting- 4 sets

    Dumbbell Front Raise- 3 Sets

    Dumbbell Lateral Raise- 3 sets

    Barbell Military Press with Barbell Front ways then Behind the head 3 sets per exercise


    Friday- Bi's and Tri's

    Biceps

    Preacher Curl- 4 sets

    Sitting dumbbell curl- 4 sets

    If this is the first time you have lifted weights in a while you need to take it easy for awhile and get the hang of everything. Learn the techniques and make sure to write the number of lbs you are doing for each exercise to keep gains consistent.

    For your workout... you need a leg day...

    I would go to four days a week

    Monday chest/tri
    Flat bench press 3x10
    Incline smith machine bench press 3x10
    Decline bench 3x10
    DB flat flyes 3x10
    Rope pull down 3x10

    Tuesday Back/bi
    Lat pulldowns 3x10
    Seated Rows 3x10
    T bar rows 3x10
    Close grip pulldowns 3x10
    Hammer Curls 3x10

    Thurs. Legs
    Squats 3x10
    Leg extentions 3x10
    Hamstring curls 3x10
    Lunges 3x10
    Sit down calves 3x10
    Donkey calves 3x10

    Friday Shoulders
    Shoulder press 3x10
    Lateral DB raises 3x10
    Front DB raises 3x10
    Rear delt flyes 3x10

    as far as pyramiding, I would wait for awhile on those

    I agree with boath theis guys. For the first 2 months back use nb33 routien its well rounded and basic. After warming up, pick a decent weight and stick with it it really doesn matter what it is, get your form down and complete all sets. Every week bump it 10-20lbs and complete each set. 2 months of this.. Then switch to 10,8,6 you should have the poundages work out by then. Then you can work with pyamiding. Couple months go by work on pre exaust study, study, study. We are all here to help. Be safe!
