I am 18.5 years old, weigh 156+/-, and about 5' 11 in height. I take no supplements ATM. I plan to take protein, amino acids, vendetta and ice. Creatine doesn' t work for my brother and I took it for a while and I don' t think it works for me either. I am looking to fine tune my schedule. As of now I am on a 3 day cycle. 3 days work-out 1 rest. I workout abs everyother day... before and after my workout..until muscle fatigue.

DAY 1
tricep, bicep, forearm, and calf

DAY 2
lower/upper back, shoulders, lats

DAY 3
legs (no calf), traps, chest

I dont have a certain set or rep amount I just do it until i feel satisfied. I don' t do the same exercises everytime, nor do I start with the same exercise everyday. I try and mix it up as best as possible...making sure i hit every part of the muscle. Mainly I need help with not just what muscle groups to work out and which days to do them..but Im not real sure what exercises I should be doing every time i go to the gym. For example. When i do my chest, i do cable-crossover, bench press, inclined dumbbell fly' s, and I also do ?reverse? cable crossover...where instead of having the handles up top and pushing out...you go from bottom and bring the weight up...not sure what that is called. I know there is alot more for the chest..and I have arnold schwarzenegger' s body building encyclopedia to show me more. I am not sure which of these I should be doing at each day...which exercises go best together...any help please? thanks in advance

First, your day 1 should be day three, so that your arms (small bodyparts) are not exhausted for the following days.

Second, too much variety too early on is a mistake. Make a set plan, and stay with it for 2-3 months. Switching up each workout is not ideal, until you become and advanced lifter.

Third, you only need 2-3 excercises per muscle group, and you should begin with compound movements and end with isolated movements.

Write up a routine with these guidlines, and I will be happy to comments.

Vendetta and Ice rock, BTW.
