I can bench press 200. 3X4You won't even touch bech press "beast status" until you are doing multiple reps of 225lbs to 250lbs imo... Start doing 5x5 reps of 200 and then right after, go and use a hammer strength machine 2 sets of 15 reps....

I can do 40 straight pushups.
Push-Ups don't really mean shyt... Not to mention, up that shyt to 50-100 before you complain about not being a "beast"

I can do 14 straight dips. Add a 35lb or 45lb plate and do 3 sets of 14 straight

I can do 12 straight pull ups. Check form and make sure you go down all the way right before elbows lock and squeeze at the top, try wider grip... Mix that shyt up.....

I can curl 45 5X4. Check your form.... Pull at the forearm, keep rest of arm stationary and squeeze the dumbbell to your front deltoid. Switch up sometimes and do a couple excercises 2 sets x 15 reps and a couple exercises at 3setsx8-12 reps...


Also, You need to eat! 50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% Good Fats....

I'm not entirely concerned with legs. I've been steadily increasing my chest weights ever since I started working out 3 months ago. I couldn't even do 130 but I'm up to do 195 breh. And I do cardio & some minor leg workouts on Tue & Thurs.

angry-shirtless-man-with-phone-86cbbd.jpg


Please tell me what to do with my routine I'm pretty much doing whatever.

My diet is eat as much meat as possible & protein shakes.

Sleep is not always at the same time I mostly get enough of it but sometimes I miss sleep.

Please drop some knowledge.

for one, start doing leg work. Start low and build up.

Squat atleast once a week, and Deadlift atleast once a week. Strong base = strong lifts

it pays off. imo hit your chest only twice a week and try to add 5lbs each week. Others have had success doing reverse pyramids

if you arent already, start including Overhead press somewhere in there

i figure a 3-4 day split hitting Horizontal push/pull, vertical push/pull alternating would be good

i cant stress it enough but atleast 2 days you need some sort of leg work. Especially deadlifts.

For your chest exercises, Bench obviously but instead of doing dips for reps. Lower the reps and start doing them weighted

For back, Pendlay Rows and start doing chinups weighted as opposed to for reps(IE 3x5 or 3x8)

the big thing regardless what you do is always have a progressive load, either youre adding weight or adding reps. Once you arent doing either you basically stalling.

Post a pic. Again, I'm not a homosexual, but you have the ideal body type that I'm aiming to achieve.

What is your routine? Diet? How long did it take?

Im taking notes. These is my exact measurements.

Only I have broad shoulders and a thin waist

People often ell me I'm big except my bro who still calls me lanky :sadcam:

damn this thread has discouraged and encouraged me at the same time. I knew 3 work outs especially with only 5-6 exercices each) isnt enough in the long run but with work and such long commutes its hard to really put in that effort but I'm gonna have to try I guess... And do weekends. I've also been going for about 3 months and I havent been discouraged cause I dont expect much in such a span but I think I've noticed progress. Could be my eyes playing tricks. I try not to think about it.

I'm surprised to see such low rep counts though. I try to do 8 reps minimum and usually 10 for each workout.

I just wish I had somebody to work out with me and show me the ropes. To make sure my row form was good. I want to do squat, power cleans and deadlifts but without supervision? Nah, aint tryna injure or embarrass myself. *Sigh*

video tape yourself and start low

weightlifting is really a simple concept: progressively load either more weight or more reps

as long as your program attains one or the other or both, youre doing something right :youngsabo: we can look in the mirror everyday and not notice anything but 1 month, 3 months, 6 months a year goes by and you look back and everything makes you :wow:

the key is consistency and dedication to whatever program you choose.

in my life ive noticed that any routine can work if you have those.(some are better than others though)

Compound lifts. Between Squats, DL and Cleans you essentially hit every muscle in your body.

As opposed to the typical lifter, who does bench press and curls at least 3x a week :wtf:
