Well, I guess we'll start off with me and my goals
5' 9" ~145 lbs right now
Fairly skinny, except for my college fat (LOL BEER LOL!) in my belly
I work midnights and sometimes midnights+day tours so my eating/sleeping schedule is all kinds of fucked up
My goal is pretty much, vanity. I'd like pec development, along with tri/biceps and 4 pack/6 pack abs. I'm not really looking in to being a 'real' bodybuilder and be bench pressing a Buick, but some growth in strength would be appreciated.
My routine right now is:
Every day:
3 sets of push ups
1 set crunches
Monday + Wednesday (Upper):
Barbell bench press
Dumbbell fly
Dumbbell curl
Dumbbell Bent-over Row
Dumbbell Triceps Extension
Dumbbell Wrist Curl*
Dumbbell Reverse Wrist Curl*
Dumbbell Pronators*
Dumbbell Supinators*
Dumbbell shoulder shrug
Tuesday + Thursday (Ab/Legs):
Squats
Lunges
Crunches
Side crunches
Crunch up
Flutterkicks
Friday or Saturday (Depending where I am/where I am working):
1) Repeat Monday or 2) Circuit Training @ World Gym
+
30 minutes on treadmill on "fat burn"
At least 5 minutes on stairclimber
If exercise Friday: Rest Saturday (Except for pushups/crunches)
If exercise Saturday: Rest Friday (Except for pushups/crunches)
Sunday: Full Rest
I'm taking whey protein after exercising and TestoGrowHP** with every meal.
In the 2 to 4 or so weeks I've been doing this I've noticed some growth in biceps and pecs. Is this expected?
* I have torn ligaments in my left wrist from a skiing injury (I can bend it an ungodly direction which could put any :closet: to shame) and I 'd like a little more strength in it... plus I think its ridiculous when you see 'gym guys' with huge biceps... and pencil wrists.
** The store was running a sale where I got a big discount on the protein if I bought it... I'm not sure if its actually helping or if you guys have any feedback on something better or if I actually need anything like it in the first place
