My Program *Needs Some Adjustment* * Please Help** - Friday, September 05, 2008 10:51 PM ( #1 )
Hi, I'm fairly new to working out and need some help/adjusments.
Height: 5'11
Weight: 152 pounds
Meal Plan: 2000 calories per day w/ protein shakes
Goal (right now): I used to be chubby around 190 pounds. I did cardio/weights for the last 8 months and got down to 150 pounds. I look kinda skinny. My arms are pretty cut but I still have fat around my nipples and some belly fat which I plan to lose. My goal is to get bigger and maybe put on 10-15 pounds of muscle.

This is my current workout schedule:
Day 1: Chest/Triceps
- Smith Bench Press Flat 8x3
- Dumbell Chest Press Flat 8x3
- Incline Press 8x3
- Dumbell Chest Press Incline 6x4
- Pectoral fly 8x2
- Dips 8x2
- Arm Extension 8x2
Day 2: Cardio/Abs
- 20 minutes interval running in treadmill. Start off with 5 for five minutes, then go up to 8 and down to 6 and up to 8 and keep switching till fifteen minutes. Then to end it 5 more minutes
- Abs
Day 3: Biceps/Back
- Pullups 8x2
- Barbell Curls 12x2
- Seated Row 8x3
- Rear Deltoid 6x4
- Lat pulldown 8x3
- Dumbell Curls 10x3
- Forearm Curl 15x2
Day 4: Cardio/Abs
- 20 minutes interval running in treadmill. Start off with 5 for five minutes, then go up to 8 and down to 6 and up to 8 and keep switching till fifteen minutes. Then to end it 5 more minutes
- Abs
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Shoulder/Back/Abs
- Pullups Wide Grip 8x2
- Dumbell Shoulder Press 8x3
- Dumbell Front Raises 10x2
- Dumbell Lateral Raises 10x2
- Shoulder Press Machine 8x3
- Angled Leg Press 10x3
- Leg Curls 8x3
- Abs
Day 7: Rest OR Cardio/Abs

I know it’s long, but please take ur time to give me some advice. I’m open to try new things. Let me know if the workout plan I’m following is not good enough. And if it isn’t what should I do to improve it. On top of that, what should i do for my reps/sets, and meal plan. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I assume when you say stuff like 10x2 you meant 2 sets of 10. I'm going to try and point out everything i see wrong but i might miss some stuff. Eat more.Don't use a smith machine. Stop doing so many iso's and focus more on compounds. You don't workout your legs!!!!!!! whats wrong with you bro also you don't work your tri's. You seem like your dedicated since you lost 40 lb. of fat so try and fix your diet with maybe 3000 ish calories and try starting strength since you are new to lifting, i promise you will see WAY better gains with that than with your current routine. Also don't forget legs they really are important.
Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185
