Critique my routine!! .. Please :) - Sunday, July 06, 2008 11:30 AM ( #1 )
hey, im 16, 5"11, 150lbs, and want to get bigger and stronger. I would like to start the following routine, let me know what you guys think please!

Okay so the first exercise for each day ( so squats, bench, chin ups) are all 10 x 3...the rest are all 4 x 6, and they are a Super Set. I will rest 70 seconds between each set for the first exercise, and 60 seconds between each superset.

---BB Squats
A1-Dip
A2-BB Bent Over Row
B1-Skull Crushers
B2-BB Biceps Curls
C1-Reverse Crunch


Day 2

----BB Bench Press
A1-Stiff Legged Deadlifts
A2-BB Shoulder Press
B1-Standing Calf Raise
B2-DB Upright Rows
C1-DB Lateral Raise


Day 3

----Chin Up
A1-Incline DB Bench
A2-Hammer Curls
B1-Seated Calf Raise
B2-Leg Curls
C1-Lunges with BB or DB ur choice

I wanted to just take 100% micronized creatine monohydrate because its cheap and effective. However, i have a feeling my diet isnt that great so i think i should be taking protein as well. Will i still see results with just the creatine or should i use both? Any advice or suggestions are much appreciated. Plaese let me know what you guys think!! Thanks :)

OMG take protein lol
 
its the first thing you should have thought about even before considering creatine!
 
you need protein to build muscles as well as many other things, carbs is massive on bulking, but seriously, get some whey shakes sorted out asap. you'll damage yourself. im surprised youve not found yourself being ded weak and stiff in the morning, excuse the pun haha

haha i have, but ive tried to eat as much protein as possible after my workouts. I bought some whey protein and 100% micronized creatine monohydrate. I am taking 5g of creatine on non-workout days. and 5 gram before workout, and wheyprotein +5g of creatine post-workout. What do you think about the routine above?

it says "day 1, day 2, and day 3"..   now, my question is... are these back to back days??

for instance.. is day 1 monday, and day 2 tuesday?...    or is there a rest period in there between day 1 and day 2?
If there's NO rest period, you are hitting the same muscle groups OVEr and OVER which will probably be detrimental instead of beneficial.

but.. then again, you didn't specify on the rest between workouts... so... yea

Sorry, i forgot to say that.. Day 1 - Monday, Day 2 - Wednesday, Day 3 - Friday.
My diet is pretty bad, that is whats holding me back from getting bigger gains. Ive cleaned it up a bit, trying to eat foods high in protein. Also, on non-workout days i take 5g of creatine monohydrate in the morning. On workout days i take 5g of creatine monohydrate before workout, and whey protein + 5g of creatine monohydrate post-workout.

wel... you just figured out your own problem.  diet is what determines your gains if you're already training the correct way.   clean up the diet and you'll reap the results you desire

the passed couple of days ive really cleaned up my diet, hopefully i can keep this going and see better results. i have a lot of free time this summer, should i be training more than 3 times a week? I'd love to but ill stick to 3 if it will be most effective

I would look online for a beginner routine. One with lots of compound excersises that will hit multiple muscles. Imo there's too many iso excersises in your routine. Try searing around.

Ive already done a beginner routine that consisted of a lot of Bench Press, Squats, Deadlifts, etc. which are all compound movements. I did that routine for about 4-5 weeks. Ive been doing the routine i listed above for a couple weeks so far.
