I need help with a workout routine..

**BigBoi1881** · 09-23-2003, 09:18 PM

I have started doing cardio and working out in the gym. I use the bicycle and treadmill for cardio and an all-in-one weight machine which has butterfly,bench press,incline,pull downs,etc. Their are also free weights.

I was doing a lil bit of everything today and my friend said that I should have a routine and should be working out the right muscle groups together. I have no idea were to start off.

I plan to work bi's.tri's,chest,back (upper body) but nothing with the legs as of yet.

Im 6'1" 204lbs, my main goal is to be 190lb range and have muscle/being cut.

If someone can give me some pointers id really appreciate it. I plan to go to the gym 5-6 days a week for 1-1 1/2 hrs.

Sorry for the long post

This is my base that I use for each wk.:

Chest/Calves - Mon.
Back/Traps - Tues.
Delts - Wed.
Quads/Hams/Calves - Thurs.
Bis/Tris/Forearms - Fri.

Abs - 3x a wk.

Personally I wouldn't skip legs...train them everywk. just like your upper body...from my experiance when my legs grow everything else follows.

I don't do much cardio right now...triing to add quality lean muscle mass right now.

When I dropped about 35 lbs., I started eating 6-7 meals per day(every 2 1/2-3 hrs.), cut out most simple sugars and saturated fat. Keep a log of what u eat every meal and it will let u know what kinds of food u are eating and adjust from that. Hope this helps and good luck.

You tell him that you're diabetic/hypoglycemic and you need to eat consistently in order to keep your blood sugar in check.

Not realistic? And why is that? Bro, if there's a will then there's a way........there's al sorts of food u can consume thru-out the day that are very easy to carry to work.....nuts,peanutbutter,stringcheese,protein bars,protein powder,canned/packed tuna,canned/packed chicken, I coulod go on and on but u get my point.........if u don't have time during the week to prepare food then prepare enough on sunday for that wk. If your desire is strong enough u can and will find the way.
