Please bare with me - daps and rep will be given
I'm 5'9 around 160-165 pounds (last time I checked).
I always noticed a difference in my shoulders and chest with the gym, however, for some odd reason, there never was a difference in my biceps.
Anyways, one of the main reasons I've always been hesitant to start the gym again is because everyone always has different theories on how I should maintain my program. One person says sleep and what you eat is 50% of your progress, another says 80% of your progress is what you eat, another says you can eat fast food and soda because you're gonna need to bulk up, the other says that's the last thing you wanna eat - you get the picture
Also don't think my exercises were right either. I'd do one body part every other day (ie. Chest - Monday and Wednesday, Shoulders - Tuesday and Thursday, etc). And I'd usually share that body part with another body part (ie. Chest day with legs, shoulder day with biceps, etc)
From what I've read, you're suppose to go hard on one body part just once that week. Furthermore more I'd do like 15 sets in the routine, 5 exercises, 3 sets per each, 8 reps max)
I was on protein shakes and creatine at a point too, didn't see any change with those, but that was most likely due to my diet and lack of going hard. The one thing I can say I did good was I made sure I went everyday from Monday to Friday (but hey didn't accomplish much while I was there lol)
Anyways, I'm tryna get my thing back on. If you guys can provide the right exercises for each day, what you recommend I eat and don't eat, how often, how much to sleep, etc - it be great. If there's a thread like this already direct me to it.
My goal? Not tryna be Mr. Olympia. My first goal is something like this (and no I don't care it's Drake lol).
I'd be more than happy with this...at least in the beginning. How long would this take?
