Kidney stones from creatine and No xplode 2 years in a row. So I stay far far away from that crap.

 

was that from not drinking enough water?

 

Yeah im sure it's from lack of water...I use that no xplode and take creatine and you have to drink at leat 8 glasses of water per day.

Repeat

I'm another small framed guy. 5'-8" 160-165lbs 8-10% body fat. I work in an office and sit most of the day. I have to workout so I don't get fat.

 

it sucks having a small frame, we have to work out harder just to try and gain mass

 

Im 20 175 511 haha no six pack though! Im going to try to lose some body fat then start getting big like I was in high school for football!
More to come after the gym ill tell yall what my routine is and see what yall think!

oh ok, ive been in there. im now at 24 hour at baseline/101

 

I barley ever use weights. I do alot of variations of push ups pull ups dips handstand push ups and alot of body weight exercises. Also alot expolosion exercises. All my friends used to laugh at me because i didnt really use weights. One day they made me get on the bench press to max out and I maxed 355 weighing only 165. The next day all three of them were doing push ups and pull ups lol.

 

I have been working out since 15 and I am 25 now, well will be 26 this year. I used to lift heavy, maxed out at 275 on bench press. I am not big at 5' 10" weighing 180lbs. Right now I do a lot of cardio and abs mixed with some weights, nothing heavy 3-4 sets 10-12reps. I don't want to get big, just toned. I don't use any supplements.

 

Monday - Chest, Back, Shoulders
Tuesday - Biceps, Triceps, Forearms
Wednesday - Squats, Powercleans, Hangcleans
Thursday - Cardio, Abs.
Friday - Rest
Weekends - Cardio

I take Jack3d before workouts
Some Gnc Whey Protein After
And GNC beyond Raw Re-Forge before I go to bed.

 

Ive been subscribed to mens health magazine for over 6 yrs adn they want me to do this:
Monday- bench press chinup deadlift (do 25 total reps of each exercise, using a weight you can lift 4 to 6 times before your speed slows down or your form changes. rest 60 seconds between sets.)

Tuesday- REST

Wednesday- Dumbbell single-arm shoulder press, Dumbbell single-arm row, Dumbbell lunge or stepup. (Do 40 total reps of each exercise with each arm or leg, using a weight you can lift 10 to 12 times before your speed slows down or your form changes. Do all the reps of each exercise before resting. Rest 45 seconds between sets.)

Thursday-REST

Friday- Barbell bent-over row, dip, squat. (Do 15 total reps of each exercise, using a weight you can lift 2 to 3 times before your speed slows down or your form changes. Rest about 90 seconds between sets.

Repeat on monday! and they said this is the best way to "pack on muscle".

what do yall think?

I would do more than 3 days a week if you can. Maybe 4 or 5.

 

^^^Thats what Mens Health wants me to do but what I do is this:
5 times a week

Monday-chest, abs, 15 min of cardio after lifting

Tuesday-back, abs, 15 min of cardio after lifting

Wednesday-quads, hamstrings, abs, 15 min of cardio after lifting

Thursday- arms, calves, abs, 15 min of cardio after lifting

Friday- Chest, and whatever I feel I didnt do hard enough and 15 min cardio.

Thats what I used to do and it worked I thought and now after a year Im starting it again unless yall think I should start the one that mens health said for me to do!

And supplement wise I take GNC Mega Men Sport Vitamins in the morning and wheyabolic extreme 60 after lifting. I put it in a shake I make with 2 scoops of peanut butter, milk, ice and the powder which is choclate I love it!

repeat day 1-5

5'11, 165, 48 yrs young

 

Lift heavy doing compound exercises 3 days a week in the 5x5 range or 1x8-10 range. Squats, deadlifts, bench press, barbell rows, pull ups, push-ups, etc. Each day add 5 lbs to your last used weight.

What's your goal? Do you wanna get lean while gaining mass? Do HIIT Cardio and abs on your off days, get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water and eat veggies, good carbs, and decent amounts of protein 1-1.5 grams per pound of body weight. Limit your fats to those taken from nuts and oils or flaxseeds. If you just wanna get big, lift heavy eat lots of carbs and limit the cardio. If you're looking to cut, eat veggies and protein and do more cardio but keep the lifting at the same intensity.

DRINK WATER, Eat CARBS and PROTEIN! And LIFT HEAVY!
