Is working out 3 times/week really enough ?

I mean, can you really get everything done ? If yes, post a plan.

It depends on what your goals are. State em.

I'm tryna bulk up

if you consider that each muscle group needs a minimum of 48 hours to recouperate

with adequate diet, rest, stretching and effort in the gym

you can make a fullbody routine go far(im assumin thats what you mean by 3 day)

however a 3 day chest/tri, back/bi, legs/shoulders split? i think its inefficient

What would you suggest if not a 3 day split like that?

thats diet, and if you say you do have a good diet, ur lying to urself. Eventually youll have to take a look see and make changes.

lifting is always constant regardless the goal

figure out your maintenance and eat roughly 300 less than that while lifting regularly and taking as much protein as possible within that calorie range

as far bulking goes, i always say "Do what gives you the best progression"

if 5 days a week works, and youre lifting more and more either via reps/weight then ur doing right. if its 2 days a week and ur lifting more and more then ur doing right

ive changed my opinion on whats good and whats not good. I know for FACT that what isnt good is when you stagnate. Regardless where you are lift-wise

pure strength routines on average allow for the longest progression, not necessarily the quickest

IE GVT on the other hand trains you to do tons of reps at a certain weight, and thus moving a greater load each week/month

regardless what you do the simple rules for any routine are as follows:

1) Squat, Bench, Row, Overhead Press should be included somewhere regardless the routine or rep/set range.
2) Give yourself 48 hours before training the same exercise/muscle group again
3) get 7 hours of sleep and eat protein like its a job
4) stretch and maintain proper form

after that it doesnt make a huge difference what you do imo. Ive seen it all at this point. Every routine out there HAS worked for SOMEBODY. But a routine working can ONLY be judged on whether you are lifting more than you were yesterday, no more no less

apparently drinking lemon juice mixed with water first thing in the morning helps shed water weight. dunno how.

WTF!!!

This negga just told me my life in 1 post.



My diet may be shyt cuz I lack protein and I only eat 2 meals a day with protein bar snack in the middle. Sometimes I eat only 1 meal and a snack. I don't work out as much as I m supposed to so I m not that consistant and I sleep maybe 4-6 hrs/ night.

Thank you based MMSex

Is your diet really that great? Stop drinking pop and pizza pops after you smoked a gram from the bong bro. You need to eat every 4 hours. Lots of protein, TUNA, Oats, VEGGIES BRO.

get ur shyt together. eat a lot, 2x what you are eating right now.

Id suggest a shyt load of compound stuff if your only gunna do 3x a week.. you should only been in the gym for an hour at a time my man.

1)SQUATS + BENCH (flat, decline, and incline)

2) Military press, ABS, BICEP curls, TRICEP skull crushers

3) BACK DAY! Deadlifts, HEAVY ASS ROWS (with a barbell dont be a pu$sy). lots of cable work, traps (SHURGS).

stop being a biotch and hit the weights. if u wanna get strong and big you gotta lift heavy and EAT.

I don't eat pizza and I don't smoke breh.

My wife cook with veggie and olive oil only. I drink lotta water when I m home. I don't eat fried or greasy food. My diet is not the problem as far as eating bad stuff. My time in the gym is, as well as my sleep.

You right tho I need more protein.

But where the chest at in your plan tho ?
