I need any help I can get im 18 and currently weigh 150 but have a really really hard time gaining size but i do workout every day so should i workout every other day and for how long should i workout for

Workout routine
Below will be given an example of work-out with the approximate number of reps. If for example there is written that you have to do second set with 18 reps it does not mean that you have to do only 18, if you can only 17 let it be. Do not try to go for failure at the beginning; you will have enough time in the future. If the weight is too big take off a few pounds. In bodybuilding the weight is not a target it is just a method to achieve your target. Some will think that 20 reps is too much, but for someone it will be exactly what he need to pump his muscles and feel them. So, at this point you may experience.

For every body part there are 3 ex., you can exclude one and after a period of time add one more or change them.

DAY 1

- Chest -
Barbell Bench Press - 4x20x15x12x10 (4 sets, first 20 reps, then 18-15 and 12)
Barbell Incline Bench Press ? 3x20x15x10
Dumbbell Flyes ? 3x15x12x10

- Triceps -
Triceps Pushdown ? 4x20x15x12x10
Close-Grip Bench Press ? 3x20x15x12
Lying Triceps Press ? 3x15x12x10

- Abs -
Hanging Leg Raise 3x15-25

EOW - Every Other Week, do these exercises instead of dead-lift or just add them to your leg training routine.

*For some, it can be very hard to train legs and shoulder in the same day, so you can split into 2 days.

FOLLOW THIS TRAINING SCHEDULE FOR 2-3 MONTHS AND THEN COME BACK AND POST YOUR RESULTS HERE.

Make sure your daily intake of protein is at least 2.2grams per kg/body weight and your daily caloric intake is 45 cal per kg/body weight.

Eat 5-6 times per day with little portions

Main sources of food should be natural not from protein and shakes (it is just and addition and not the base)

The ratio of our diet will look like the following:

40% Carbohydrates
40% Protein
20% Fats

- Drink water! Drink around a half gallon a day, more if you can. The water that will give you the energy you need to gain that weight! As you know more than 80% of our bodies are made of water.

- Track your progress

- Make pics of yourself every 2 months

- Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. If it is possible try to sleep during the day for half an hour or 1 hour.

thanks for all the help i really appreciate it and will try this workout for a few months and if it helps me i will let everyone know

is this workout better than the billy starr 5x5 routine?

5x5 is more for strength.
You have to practice different work-outs, this way you will get maximum from your body and achieve greatest results.
Before change any workout and say whether it is good or no for you, you must try it for 2-3months at least.

Good luck!

This Routine only consists of 3 days out of 7 - Should you start over from day 1 after takin a break on the 4th day or do you recommend only training for 3 days out of 7 ? My workout schedule now consists of Monday-Friday, off Sat & Sun.

TRAINING ROUTINE :
Mon - Legs
Tues - Chest
Wed - Back
Thurs - Shoulders
Fri - Bi's / Tri's
Sat - Off
Sun - Off

Please let me know ur thoughts on what I should do ?
Im 26years old - 160lbs - Been working out for 10 years and played Lacrosse (Division 3) in College. So I am in pretty good shape in my opinion. I'm sure your remember me from my posts from last week. I am thinking about hopping on a 6 week or so cycle of Winny (either British Dragon or Depot - Not sure yet ), just to start off with something light to see the results, than possibly hop on some Fina w/ Test after that.

Please let me know your thoughts on that recommended work-out plan b.c it seemed a little light in my opinion but I could be totally wrong considering I have never attempted that Routine.

Thanks in Advance !!!

What are your current results?

For how long time are you on this routine?

Are you growing now?

My results are def very good for Maintanence but not for putting on weight - of course the more I eat the more weight I can put on - but thats still tough to pull ( I could use recommendations on my diet to put on weight as well )

I've been on this program for a couple years now, but constantly changing the days around (i.e. Monday - Start off with Chest instead of Legs / Tuesday - Chest / Wednesday, etc - Also changing up the exact exercises every few weeks)
About 2 months ago I hurt my Shoulder so I took a lil break from the gym. I went back about 2-3 weeks ago, but just light sets untill I feel comfortable again. I predict starting my regular routine & going heavy again next Monday - a week from today.
