Post by Jimcook925 »

hey guys, I just started working out about a month and a half ago. I am getting decent results. One of friends is into bodybuilding and has givin me great advice, but I wanna know what routines work best for you. I am in decent shape now. I am going for bulk right now.
Currently taking, Creatine, Glutamine, Protein shakes. With a semi high protein intake. Shakes in between meals. Any info is appreciated.

depends on your goals mate..if you want muscle that simply looks good but does nothing then bodybuilding is fine but if you want to be as strong as you look, definately not

Well obviously I want to look great, but I wanna be strong as well.
I was just looking for peoples input on routines. It seems like I am doing about 3 exercises per muscle. But it seems like I'm lacking on some. I usually do Chest and Tri's. day off, Bi's, Back and shoulders, day off and back to chest and Tri's etc...every other day. I know I need to start legs but I feel legs are pretty strong and I wanna get the upper body caught up. I am killing chest and tri's. But biceps don't feel like they're getting the workout they should be. same with back. Any input on that or others like shrugs etc...[/b]

no leg work, no muscle built matey

can you squat / deadlift mtwice your bodyweight? no? then you're not strong, not even close

a balanced routine is the way to go...i suggest searching the waterbury method and doing it as written

I dont see any ab workouts. You should really include some. Chin ups are great for a challenging bicep and back workout
