That's too much for an amateur. You don't really need more than 3,4 weight lifting workouts per week. But if you're set to workout 5 times a week, do weights Mon/Wed/Fri and cardio sessions on Tue/Thu.

Also you don't need an arms day, you're not a pro. You're working both biceps and triceps with your back and chest workout. Do the usual 3 day split; Chest + biceps, Back + triceps and Legs + Shoulders.

Or best of all do a upper/lower routine. Mon=upper, Tue=lower, Thur=upper, Fri=lower. That way you'll utilize all your muscle groups two times a week which is something a beginner should do for the first year.

You're right in the amount of days thing, but I organized them as you said before and I achieved a little.
I used to train a muscle over the other, so I came up with that plan.

Till now I'm in day 4 and it's working well.

can u tell me which supplements you take ( brands )?

I do work out 4 days a week, each workout around 1.5-2 hours. I like to try in shape as possible as I can, I still have to work on my bad eating habits :frown:
Mondays & Fridays: chest, triceps, abs, and cardio
Wednesday & Saturdays: back, shoulders, biceps, bike, and legs

I usually do 4 sets of each excercise, is it too much? or 3 sets of each is enough?

I have two goals I am trying to reach: 100 lb dumbbells incline bench press and 200 lb bench press bar.
Since last week I started doing 70 dumbbells incline bench press (4 sets, 6 reps), and 185 bench press bar (4 sets, 5 reps). Is one month is good enough? or should I give myself more time? What do the experts around here think?


P.S I don't take any protein shake or other supplements. I depend mainly on my 4-5 meals aday with all the protein intake. Am I doing a mistake by not taking shakes?

you can hit your target for the bench bar target in one month, but definitely not the dumbbells

Speaking of hitting your targets with dumbbells, did you pork her on the Smith machine yet?

I am looking to increase 5 lbs a week for the dumbbells. 1.5-2 months would be more realistic

it will take you longer, you need to be really explosive to get the 100s off at shoulder level, how much do you weigh?

yeah just stick with it, work on strength and explosiveness and of course food

I work on my explosiveness at the local Olive Garden.

[GordoDeCentral]

I don’t take at all.

That’s my third week doing this routine, and I’m starting to see the definition I want. My body fat significantly decreased.

I’ll keep you guys updated with my progress.
