is workout routine any good?

Post by psycho »

what's up guys,
I'm a 17 year old 6 ft, 67 kg, dude wanting to get bigger (bigger arms, legs, etc). I've been doing this routine for about 1 month now, and I wanted to check if it was right for me:

Workout 1st day:
15-20 push-ups
5 x 15 15kg barbell curls
5 x 15 5kg hammer curls
upper ab crunches 3 x 25 - lower and middle 3 x 25
jump rope 15-20 mins, 60 secs slow and 60 secs fast alternating

next day:
15 - 20 push-ups
5 x 15 25kg bench press
5 x 15 10kg the one where you press upwards with a barbell at the back of you neck standing up (works out the back or shoulders maybe?)
3 x 15 squats
3 x 15 20kg leg curls
3 x 15 15kg lying curls
jump rope (same as above)

I do that excersise routine alternating between days, every day. I also play tenis for about 3 times a week.

diet consists of:
breakfast:
2 - 3 whole-wheat toas with butter
whole mil and coffe

lunch:
usually a homemade meal, varies from: stews, meet (with salads), tarts (with salads), and so on. And for desert 1 serving of fruit.

afternoon:
1 sandwich (whole-wheat bread, ham, cheese, mustard) sometimes fruit , and 1 glass of milk. Or sometimes I eat 2 whole-wheat toast.

dinner:
consists of a bigger meal involving better elaborated foods (also homemade) such as: fish (cooked by steam with vegetables), beef, tarts , pastas with homemade sauces, steamed vegetables with meat, chicken...
and for desert fruit.

I drink plenty of water and just water.
I'm skinny and I wanna get big! I'm seeing improvements, especially in the biceps area, but I want to get a bigger arm and more pectoral muscle.
Also I want abs to be noticeable because as of now they are not visible.

Much thanks aprecieated from you dudes, hope you guys can help.

tbh mate, what ur doing is really good
i think what you need is patience
nothing happens overnight

but common sense says that if ur finding one aspect of your training easy
up the reps/ssets or weight

just keep at it is what i say

diet looks alright but add some fruit to breaky...when having fruit always eat it first...add a meal between breaky and lunch same as mid arvo snack...workout wise this wopuld be better;

squats, leg curls (alternate variations each workout), bent bb row (alternate with db rows each workout), bench (alternate with push ups each workout), shoulder press (alternate behind head and in front of head each workout), curls (altenate variations each workout), lying triceop extensions (alternated with 1 arm db overhead extensions each workout), add wt to abs and only do 15 reps max or do harder exercises, skip...do this 2 - 3 a week evenly spaced such as tue, sat or mon , thu etc

all right I'll be doing that, one question for ya though, does push ups work your pectorals? cause you wrote there that I should alternate push ups with bench press each workout. Oh yeah forgot to ask, what are the bent BB rows and the DB rows?
thanks a lot man!
