Err, I'm a member of some bodybuilding forum on which some people are even pro. Like 5-10 of them.
Though I'm just recreative.
I'll belive them over you. No hard feelings.
They say chest and back in one day is rediculous and you simply can't do a quality training that way.
And what's wrong with chest and biceps?
When you train chest, triceps gets tired along with chest, and then biceps is ready for training.
When you train back, biceps gets tired along with back, and then triceps is ready for training.

Aye, mate, pretty much all of us know someone. My best friend Mike Livingston just took overall state champ of Washington

Blast your biceps till you cant even curl a 15 and then tell me how much you can bench

and if you want to really be hard core about it your week should be

Chest
Back
Biceps triceps
legs
shoulders

but whaddya gonna do!

hehe youre ridiculously huge. Whats your diet been for weight gain?

Always do a bigger muscle group first.

First shoulders, then calves.
First chest, then biceps.
First quadriceps, then hamstrings.
First back, then triceps.

That's my training, 4 times a week (monday, tuesday, thursday, friday).

I know but I dont like supersetting my chest workouts so i can superset another smaller muscle. I do muscle1, muscle2, muscle1, muscle2...

Its been working out all right, but this last 2 weeks that ive been working out with my brother...I realized I havent been working out at all over last year! These next 4 months are gonna be amazing for me and Ive stopped drinking and am really going strict on myself now. Im still nauseous from my work out 5 hours ago hehehe...

but, Like Masonious said in other thread, every body reacts differently to different things. Ive got a pretty decent back going on so I dont have to spend too much time on it. Rock climbing gave me lots of back strength hehe.

Pretty much, i know IM not at anywhere near competition level and maybe in 2 months or so I might have to change my routine to start accomodating longer more exhausting workouts.

I like using dumb bells a lot so biceps and chest on same day would kill me (literally) unless i just took breaks and let heart beat and pump die between chest sets.

Im moving to barbell based with a spotter so ill probably give a biceps chest day a try in a week or so cuz i dont like discounting others' opinions. For beginners though, i usually like to stick people to a generic 3 day split

Oh and since youre a part of this thread now pics and stats! Become a TA workouteteer! you in for that most improved challenge that ends June 1?! Its gonna be fun!

Btw, while I'm here, let me tell somethings about myself.

I'm training since 27th september 2004, so that's 5 months right now, but first 2 months weren't serious. At all.
I'm 15, current weight is 60 kg (133 lbs) and current height is 173 cm (~5'9''), but I'm sure I'll grow more.
I started eating healthy food at the end of december 2004 and I'm training more seriously for ~3 months now (with training plan and such).
Only supplements I'm using are whey proteins, 30 grams after each training, and glucose (via grape sugar), 30-40 grams after each training, but I'll raise that to 50-60 grams after each training (glucose).
So far I have used one whey protein package of 500 grams, tomorrow I'm going to buy a new one.
My goal is to look fit, and that's about it. Recreative fitness.

Measurements:

Calves: 34 cm (13.6'')
Quads: 50 cm (20'')
Biceps: 31 cm (12.4'')
Waist: 70 cm (28'')
Chest: 85 cm (34'')

As for the pictures, I don't have a web or digital camera.
Though I'll see what I can do, my friend has one so maybe I can borrow it.

Good start man! Sounds like a darn good plan. Ive been talking to a lot of women lately and they keep telling me emphatically DONT GET ANY BIGGER!!! so many women dont like huge huge guys haha they get scared or something. Im gonna get bigger anyway but realize girls dont like muscles that reach out and strangle you in a fit of rage

whoa that wsa a fuckign tangent. Anyway Cheers! good to have yah.

That's the reason I'm aiming for recreative fitness, not bodybuilding.
Girls like when guys are fit and have muscles, but in limits of course.
Btw, they're not scared... It's just that too big muscles look bad in most cases.
Well, they don't have to look bad, they can actually look very good.
But from what I've seen, too big muscles are repulsive to girls. In most cases.
If you know what I mean.

Btw, I'm going to sleep. It's late over here in Europe (GMT+1).
Good night.

hehe aye. I do it more for the approbation of my amigos lol. Women dont understand that in the world of men and protecting people, its usually nice to have some mass to yah...women sigh.
