Re: Full body workout change?

I have been on full body 3x a week for about eight weeks and im about to switch it up to a split routine 4x a week. Im also switching to the 3x10 routine, how does that feel for you? You could try changing the weight your lifting or switch to a split routine. I feel like the best way to overcome pla...

Re: Deadlift! back or leg workout!?!?

What is your overall goal from lifting? Mass, Strength, Definition? Deads are part of routing but im doing whole body 3x/week and im about to switch to an upper lower split and deads are scheduled for leg days because it works your lower back and legs the most. You could try not working your lower b...

Re: Can ab exercises be done every day?

I have to rest muscles for at least 48 hours before targeting the same the muscle again so that's what I am doing alternating between different muscles.
Why would this be any different for your abs?

Re: need a cutting routine

Re: Putting on muscle, from fit to slightly larger

Work your whole body three days a week using strength building exercises. Dead lifts, Squats, and bench press are awesome for strength. Alot of big rowing exercises will do wonders, Pull Downs, Low Rows. mostly compound movements, Chinups, dips. You can work all these exercises with variations into ...

Re: 3 questions

Abs are all about diet, and working your whole body three days a week will strengthen your abs. When your body fat gets down to 12%-14% you should be able to see them. you can throw an ab routine in if you want but it wont help anything if your body fat % is too high. For your lats try some wide gri...

Re: Do you really need machines to build muscle?

Im sorry i should have been more specific with response. When i said machines i meant cables, as an effective way to build muscles. I do not prefer machines because of the lack of movement and stabilzation. Cables i use to isolate on certain areas of back, wide grip pull dows, etc. but wide grip pul...

Re: Do you really need machines to build muscle?

Gaining mass has to do with applying greater amounts of stress on your muscles so they can grow to accomodate the load. if you dont continue to stress your muscles they will not continue to grow, they will only get big enough to handle the stress they are given. Increasing the number of reps will in...

Re: been working hard,

Try working your whole body three days a week and High intensity cardio on your non-lifting days. Use your weekends for moderate activity. you need to let your body rest but not stop being active. dont eat less, just eat cleaner smaller meals more often, keeps the meabolism up. Lifting heavy and mix...

Re: Six pack for teens (help)

sorry man, not gonna work. you can do all the crunches you want, abs are about diet. without a super unhealthy low calorie diet you just arent going to be able to do it in a week. if you know, what is your body fat %? that plays the biggest factor. i can tell you that to achieve a six pack, not in s...

Re: How to do a routine from zero

That looks pretty solid. im going to switch to an upper lower split in a few weeks and that is something like what i have planned. it should work out just fine.
