i'd like to see what you guys think about my current routine. i've read so many different websites and forums and i'm amazed at how many blatant contradictions there are in the fitness industry, so much so that ive just about given up on reading fitness magazines which have a huge content of B-S. so now i just do what (hopefully) works for me, and i'm still sort of trying to figure out what that is. i made decent progress when i started training again just over a year ago after a lay off, i put on 15kgs/33lbs in the first 6 months by doing full body workouts 3 times a week. now i have a different routine but ive been stuck at a plateau for the past few months so ive decided to post it and see what you think of it.
my stats:
training on and off since high school but about 3 years seriously all up.
age-32
height: 5'10"
weight-77kgs/170lbs
bodyfat- not sure but somewhere between 17%-20%
no steroids, but ive recently started using ghrp-6. i am interested in using steroids at some stage in the future.
i use whey protein, creatine, bcaa's and sometimes nitric oxide pre workout.
I train every muscle group every 4-5 days except for legs which i do once a week.
my routine looks something like this:
monday- shoulders, back, biceps -
tuesday- rest
wednesday- chest, triceps, abs
thursday- legs,
friday- shoulders, back, biceps, abs
saturday- rest
sunday- rest
then the next monday i start with chest and go through the same cycle, so with that pattern every muscle group is trained every 4-5 days.
the exercises im doing at the moment are:
shoulders: military press, side lateral raises, upright rows- all 4 sets x 10 reps
back: bent over rows, lat pulldowns, 4x10
biceps: barbell curls, db hammer curls, 4x10
chest: flat bench, incline bench, 4x10
triceps: barbell tricep extension, cable pulldowns 4x10
legs: squats, stiff leg deadlifts, standing calf raises, 4x10
sorry about the long post. i'd like to hear what you think, and how i can improve.
thanks
