theyre kinda cringeworthy lol, ill probably post them when the thread diverts from me because i legit feel like a whore right now

My routine goes briefly like this with abdominal work EVERY day "until I feel like throwing up" - wise words of Ephialtes

M: Chest + Back
T: Rest day
W: Biceps + Triceps
T: Shoulders + Back
F: Rest day
S: Chest + Shoulders
S: Biceps + Triceps

(always up for modifications on this, by the way)

As you can see, I try to work everything out evenly so I don't overtrain any part of my body. I train five days a week. Ephialtes and I were talking and he thinks I might be over-training my chest. To combat this, I am doing a LOT more back work so I don't hunch myself over.

I drink two protein shakes every day, by the way. MyProtein. They're 250ml - 300ml. I eat and drink loads of things for bulking because I'm trying to put on a lot of weight - loads of steak, chicken, full fat milk. Keeping an eye on my calorie intake to make sure that I'm actually eating enough. Most people think they're eating a lot more than they actually are. That's why it is so important to keep track.

Great routine. But if you ever let this go your muscles will turn saggy and that's what I'm afraid for.

Thanks! They don't turn to fat, they just loosen up. You can avoid this by toning them up for a while if you ever see that happening - it's not like it is a chore to work out or anything. Check out routines online or whatever works best for you. They don't sag as much as you probably think too because you probably won't be getting a Ronnie Coleman-esque physique. (Plus he's on roids, anyway)

If you're ever legitimately too weak to be working out in your older age, it probably means there is worse problems in your life than your physique. So don't worry about it right now. Work out and enjoy the benefits of it. That means your aesthetics, your health, your stamina, your confidence and general level of happiness. It's a wonderful thing

What about legs and core?

I havent been able to lift steadily for over 4 months now, looking to get back into it when my wrist heals

I'm 16, I'm not as tone and probably not as strong as Brother but Im getting there.

I weight about 136-140lbs

I curl 25 - 30lbs for each arm and I find that difficult.
I did mostly shoulders and chest last summer so. But I can do pushups like a champ.

Oh yeh, I forgot to mention that I also do cardio every day at the gym (hate it) by using the treadmill and rowing machine - also a very little bit of leg work in between sets.

Handstands are still my favorite workout.

I did this 4 day routine because I had a very busy schedule

1: Biceps + Triceps
2: Chest + Calf
3: Rest (Wrestling day)
4: Shoulers + Back
5: Hamstrings + Core
6: Rest (Wrestling day)
7: Rest

Good start. I think you should be working your core every day until you feel like throwing up™ and your calves and hamstrings in the same day, though. As well as spacing out your rest days. I recommend deadlifts for that, but get your form right or you'll hurt your back! I'm so glad I had a brief lesson on deadlifts before I started them.

Handstand for a minute

Candlestick hold for 30 seconds

Hollow hold for 30 seconds

Handstand for a minute

Candlestick for 20 seconds

and then you just count down. Sort of a work out.

What is a candlestick hold? :o

Oh it's a really simple, not even core workout in which you hold your legs up and keep your hands at your sides or have them up aswell.



Something like that. It gets a good stretch in.

Oh that's pretty neat, I love doing that lol

i always accidentally go into a backwards handstand doing that
