Originally posted by Vitz I'm training 3-4x a week with offdays in between. My goal is to gain mass overall. Went from 147 (after a break) to 163 (current weight) in 2.5 months. My schedule looks like this: Back/Bicep Chest/Shoulders/Tricep Legs/Abs I think I've hit a plateau so I'm wondering, should I continue doing this, change my types of excersie (ex: going from machine to free weights) or comepletely redo my schedule? Input appreciated, thanks

explain your current routines for all muscles and their divisions:

chest/tri ????? what weight how many exercises per muscle and what reps and weight

I normally just do cock pushups

3 sets of 10 every day

Originally posted by Orbax i dont think creatine is needed for gains.

Well me neither (since I gained 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks), but I'm wondering if creatine is a standard ingredient in most NoXplode brands.

it makes it easy to gain a good 10 lbs in a week though lol

Only supplements I would say one should take is a muti-vitamin, Whey protein, and Glutamine. I'll also take some vitamin C and fish oil for omega 3. Diet is 80% of the equation so eat lotsa chicken, fish, beef and for carbs brown rice and all the colors of fruits and veggies.

a lot of that is water weight...

You can't gain 6 lbs of muscle tissue in 1.5 weeks, your body just doesn't grow that fast. You can gain fat, water and residuals in your intestines along with some muscle (nowhere close to 6lbs). Also don't expect those gains to be cyclical.

yeah probably all of it actually.

I do 10 reps for all the sets I perform.

thats a lot of machine @@ I think i use 1 maybe 2 per workout.

Whats your goal? That routine is going to lean and define

I've hopefully got a legitimate question: suppose you reach a size/definition combination that you feel is right for you. What is the best way to maintain that combination? Simply using the same workout template each time? Or do you still need to do occasional sessions of high intensity/low volume lifts? If I worded that poorly, bitch slap me and I'll start over. Thanks.

Hm

It all depends on your diet. Caloric surplus = you grow, caloric deficit = you loose weight.

I never follow a same program for more then few months. Your body gets used to the exercises, sets and reps, you want to keep things changing.

I like this one. I'm actually going to do it starting Monday. 12 weeks. Your stuff changes around every 3 weeks.

If you don't eat over your calorie intake, you won't get any bigger if that's your goal. But by keeping your routine changing you will break through plateaus and such.

Cheers

Oh, I'm not ripped by any means. It was just a question which I was genuinely curious about. You've easily got me beat by 20-25lbs.

My goal is to gain muscle mass overall, or bulk up, as they say. I try to eat a lot, take creatine before my workouts and drink protein shakes.
Hmm, maybe you are saying that i shouldnt use machines so much?

lol I wasnt comparing you to me

maintenance overall would be more of a week to week thing than a day to day thing. You notice youre getting a bit soft so you do a harder workout etc. A steady diet and hardworks tend to maintain though, look at everyone in the gym who has been there for years and made no gains. Hella maintaining hehe

Machines are used for definition really. They cut out all the stabilizer muscles and tend to over isolate. Id stick with freeweights :\

Well I don't have much other explanation. I had been hovering around 162-163 for a long time, and when I weighed in yesterday I was just over 168.5. I have been running and eating well as always, so I don't see how it could have really been a gain in body fat. And I hadn't eaten any large meals prior to getting on the scale. Having done nothing different the last few weeks except for busting my ass on the weights, I don't see where else the lbs could have come from.

I'll just see what I weigh on Monday.
