  • Is my workout good or bad?

    Hey i am 17, turning 18 in a few days and i have been working out since June '05. I noticed my bf% has dropped i have gained muscle, but my weight has been the same since last year (208lbs). I am 6ft and as of June '05 i have had 20%bf. I did take off two months becuz i moved and now i am training harder than ever. I eat 5 meals a day all healthy stuff. I know about the nutrition.
    Workout:
    Mon- chest, shoulders
    tues- 1hr cardio
    wed- bi's, tri's
    thurs-1hr cardio
    fri-back, legs
    I am trying to bulk up and i have seen small results in the past few months. I know about "shocking" my muscles and I do that time to time. I just want to know f i am doing everything the right way, and what would u change about my daily routine, thanks.

    IMO its good that you have cardio in there, but don't overdo it, I'd say 40min x 3 a week is the most you should be doing.

    I don't know how you can traing lags and back in the same day personally I couldn't give the muscles proper attention doing this.

    I'd say a better version of your current 3 day split would be;

    Mon - chest, shoulders and tri's

    Wed - Back and Bi's

    Fri - Legs on their own, making sure you warm up and get compound movements in for both thighs and hamstrings

        i would def take it easy on the cardio. also like Mr incredible said i would do legs on a seperate day because legs and back are 2 bigger muscle groups so you will need a ton of cals to recover from that kind of workout.
        i like to train bi's and tri's togeather to get max blood flow through the arms.
