Drakarn's Summer 08

Okay I just took some pics about 10 mins ago.  I don't have leg pics, because I only started working out legs like today.  I was busy working all summer.  Now I'm trying to get back to the gym more regularly.

Anyway, here are the pics.







21 years old

My arms never grow, no matter how much I work them out.  I want to make a new routine and stick to it.  Last few months, its been on and off.

You're arms "never grow" because you're 5'10" 150lbs.

Add me on facebook!

true, lol.  They were the same when I was 160 and 170.  I cant get that high any more though. I think my metabolism keeps speeding up.  All those energy drinks I guess.

Ripped believes that as a rule of thumb, arms will grow 1" every 15lbs of mass gain. I tend to agree on this though.

5'8.1"
Age = 20

current : around 79-80kg (173.8lb-176lb)

you really gotta work out your legs.  they're your biggest muscle group, you gotta hit those

Don't take this the wrong way, you still have a good solid build...but you look like a freaking beast in your avatar picture lol.

It seems so odd to me how honesty is honestly the rarest thing upon us. Honestly, it's astonishing.

Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

Yeah I've been losing weight even though I was trying to get bigger.  I am always at work and dont get much time to eat.  I think I am going to start serious lifting and fix up my diet in the fall.  But I want to start making the transition now, because it usually takes a while for me lol. In my avatar picture, that was 2 years ago lol

Typical ectomorph and not squatting is killing you. Not sure exactly what you're going for, but a guess would be the stereotypical big armmed big chested look. Well, you're formula:

1. Compound exercises including: Decline Bench, Chins, BB Row, Squat, Lunge
2. Running or any other type of cardio. I reccomend running, obviously.
3. Sufficient diet that will be approx. 500 cals over the BMR and daily calorie burn with activity.

A simple week will look like the following:

Day 1:
DB Decline Bench
DB Flat Bench
Flyes
Close Grip Bench(Lighter, higher rep)
Diamond Pushups

Day 2:
5-8 Mile Run at a Moderate Pace

Day 3:
BB Squat
BB Lunge
Hamstring Curl
Quad Extension
BB Walks.(Place BB in Squat position with no weight except for bar, and do walking lunges; you will die.)

Day 4:
3-5 Mile Run EASY pace

Day 5:
Chin Ups
BB Bent over Row
Lat Pulldown
Pullups
DB Supinate Curls

Day 6:
5-8 Mile Run Moderate

Day 7:
Sleep.

Current Supplements: Multi, Whey, Caffeine, BCAA, Vitamin C, Calcium
Current Cycle: Strength

haha, yeah but once summer is over I am going back to serious lifting and diet and wont waste my gym membership.  I usually do lose a lot of muscle and weight in the summers, and then winter comes and I gain a lot back.  Its been a cycle for years.

I think I will try that out for a while. Thanks

Alright, I've been following the above routine with my brother for about a month.  We both got significantly stronger and had more energy than usual.  I didn't gain much weight.
