Isn't that what I said? That he should focus on 1, or maybe 2, muscle groups per day?
Eg.
Day 1: Biceps
Day 2: Chest/Shoulders
Day 3: Back
Day 4: Triceps
Day 5: Legs/Abs |
refer back to my first post to see my workout routine. ive always been told not to do it like this. but it seems to be what works best for my body or im just too stubborn to break the habit |

| its good to split the muscle groups up if you do intense workouts with said muscles. I usually just do a general workout with all the muscle groups for a good hour 3-4 times a week, mainly because im natually thin and dont need to lose weight and im not looking to star in the sequel to 300. |

You need to tell gf that you should be having sex with her once a day 7 times a week for 20 minutes, 40 on the weekends. This will relieve stress, which is often linked to anxiety which leads to not getting enough sleep which doesn't help in rebuilding muscles. Either way sex is good to rebuild. Am I convincing or not? Probably not. But you should try this on her anyway in hopes she complies. |

eat more. your caloric intake is pretty low for an active person. you need to eat a lot of protein also as mentioned by others. |

wow you guys
After being a personal trainer for over 5 years and obtaining certifications from ISSA, IFPA, NASM & NSCA they never told me about stuff you guys were talking about.
Not only is frequency (How many times per week) important for getting the results youre looking for, but so is Volume and Intensity such as reps and sets. You want to gain mass then stick to high volume and low intensity (High Reps 10-14, Low Sets 3-4). Hypertrophy is Key. If you have the availability to work out twice a day with 1 muscle group for each work out, will ensure youre not burning up to many calories. And since your concern is to not burn fat then eat as much as you want.
Heres a perfect example workout (Incorporating all functional movement muscles, Synergist, stabilizers, both antagonistic and agonistic muscles).
Day 1 Chest/Back
Day 2 Calves/Core
Day 3 Biceps/Triceps
Day 4 Off
Day 5 Quads/Hamstrings
Day 6 Delts/Traps
Day 7 Off
3-4 Exercises per muscle group
3-4 Sets per Exercise
10-14 Reps per Set
As for diet. 60% of your gains are going to depend on what and how many calories youre consuming. You say youre 6'2 200lbs. Id suggest you consume 4000-4400 calories per day. Since youre not concerned about fat then eat all the burgers you like.
Dont do more then 10 minutes of cardio, If you do decide to do cardio, try to keep your heart rate under 65% of its max, You can find out your max by taking 220 minus your age and multiply that by .65
Best of luck. |

Direct - help me figure something out...working a lot so working out less than normal. yesterday only got in a workout from 10pm - 11pm and not sure it's really beneficial for me to go to the gym deadass tired workout then get like 5hrs of sleep to wake up and do it all over again...i'm gonna turn into a fat ass :( |

Good advice/info there ********.
Chimera66, There is no bad time of the day to work out. If your goal is to lose fat then do your cardio first thing in the morning or on an empty stomach when youre in a carb depleted state. Doing cardio then will burn and utilize fat for energy.
If your constantly tired then maybe you should just rest. But if youre ing hardcore and refuse to sleep then drink a sugar free energy drink like redline, Speed stack, black pearl. Dont consume evergy drinks with sugar. The sugar will spike your insulin level, later causing it to drop lower then what it was before you consumed it causing a "crash" |
