am i working out too much???

[bulkman123]

i had serious gains a year and a half ago with this regimine until my girl left me because i was too aggressive. now i am doing the same routine and am not seeing the gains i saw before.

MON: chest-shoulders-biceps-triceps-neck-back-abs = 3 1/2 hours in gym

TUES: all legs-abs = 1 hour in gym

WED: chest-shoulders-biceps-triceps-neck-back-abs

THURS: all legs-abs

FRI: chest-shoulders-biceps-triceps-neck-back-abs

SAT: all legs-abs

SUN: chect-shoulders-biceps-triceps-neck-back-abs

and so on with no days rest. i can do all this and im not really beaten down or sore. i lift heavy weights with high reps.


i take HGH and a natural test booster thats does nothing but make me horny as fuck. i only drink whey isolate, 265 grams per day cuz i weigh 265. when i drank a weight gainer and took creatine i went up to 280 at one time and that was when i was at my strongest. is it because i worked out for 2 years before the ex left me and just got back in the game 10 months ago? is that why i was so much bigger, and i was on creatine and weight gainer but now im not because i hate the gut i get from that shit? what you guys think?

yes, your most definetely working out way to much, noone in the world needs to be training 7 days a week with no rest, im suprsied your not loosing gains.

cut down bro to 4 days a week and give your body some days off, remember, you only ever grow when your resting, not working out. hope this helps

Exactly what he said, I usually work out 5 days a week, but 7 days is takin it way to far. you might want to look around some more about nutrition and supplements.

as for the HGH, affraid not bro as i dont know the first thing about it,a s for the creatine, try purple-k creatine, its the new stuff, has no gutrot, no bloat and requires no loading, gives me good stamina in the gym.

as for the weightgainer, ditch that shit, its total gutrot and will probably give you fatass not leanmass, those things are full of lactose, stick wi the whey protein though, when you say 265 a day, is that 265g protein a day your getting from it?

this will sound weird but speeking from past years of working out (and i have tryed every thing there is in work-out plans) , the less you lift the better results you`ll get , 3 to 4 days a week is perfect for mass and force exemple...

monday :chest , bi`s and abs

tuesday. off

wednesday : back and tris

thursday :legs and calves

friday :delts and abs

saterday : off

sunday : off

² i prefer to split delts and legs but you can do them both on the friday too and take thursday off

but if your like me, you say ``thats not enough`` so goof luck and do what ever you wish to do, speeking from what i have experienced , 3 to 4 days a week is THE perfect plan , no matter what crap your taking with your work outs

[andysutils]

above post sounds about right, 3-4 days should be plenty, i only workout 3 days a week and im getting there with my results, i made less progress when i was training 5 days pw

like i said bro, you will only really grow on the days you rest, without days off you will never really grow, another good tip with resting is to take advantage of it, eat as much as possible and eat well on all your off days, eat better and more than you do on your workout days if you can and keep the protein high.

you can also fit in some abs work and some cardio on your offdays, this is optional and totally up to you though

How about your volume during these workouts?






What do you guys think is the perfect volume of sets/reps for each given muscle?

I just switched my routine.. 4 days On, 1 day Off.. Legs / Chest,Bi's / Back,Tri's / Traps,Shoulders.Forearms.. Abs worked indirectly on back and chest day. I do some heavy hyper extensions extra slow once or twice a week...

I feel good.. almost under worked, but I'm seeing results.
