I'd like some opinions on my workout
-
Wednesday, June 27, 2007 9:53 PM
Hello all, I am new tot he site and was just hoping someone (or several someone's) wouldnt mind giving me some opinions and advice on my work out and supplement routines. I am 22 years old, 6'00" and weight 185lbs. I am pretty skinny but have a beer belly to make up for it. I used to work out at home but havent in about a year, and I finally joined a gym. First of all supplements. I take: MRI N02 Daily as instructed bsn NO-xplode before work outs bsn Cellmass immediately after work outs Isopure Protein 30min after workouts For almost every work out I do 3 sets with decreasing sets and adding weights for example on the chest press: 12 reps at 85 lbs 10 reps at 110lbs 8reps (or failure) at 125lbs Workout 1: 15 minutes cardio 12-14 assisted dips 12-14 assisted wide pull ups Sitting chest press sitting vertical chest press(incline bench) pec fly sitting dip machine cable tricep extention dumbell shoulder press Workout 2: 15 minutes cardio 12-14 assisted pull ups ez bar curl palm down ez bar curl hammer curls leg press leg extention calf extention compund row lat pulldown I do 1 of each workout per week and on the other days I do cardio and ab work along with weightless exercises like pull ups, dips ect. Ive been told that free weight workout are more effective than the machine but I go to the gym alone and very late so I have no spotter. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

its looking like a halfassed(no offence, might sound worse than i mean it) full body. what are your goals? building muscle? cutting down(toning)? and importantly how long have you been working out fer?

First of all, what does your diet look like? For ganining lean body mass, this is the most important piece. Just scrap the supplements for now. They are incredibly overrated and unneccessary. At least 95% of your results are going to come from nutrition and your training. Until you perfect these areas for a substantial period of time you are focusing on the wrong things if you look toward supplements. I realize nobody wants to hear that, so usually when we say that it gets ignored. But, I feel its important enough to mention again.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I am not trying to get huge but just more developed and cut. Im really working out for superficial reasons, broader shoulders, biggers arms, flatter stomach ect. When you say half-assed full body, what is missing??? As for my diet, each day looks similar to this: Meal 1: 2 eggs, turkey on wheat bread meal 2: some grilled chicken, hardboiled egg, maybe some red beans meal 3: turkey sandwhich on wheat or grilled chicken salad w/ vinegar dressing meal 4:some type of lean meat w/ green vegetables meal 5:yogurt or cottage cheese w/ fruit on off days or a protein drink on workout days
