Before going to the gym, I knew I needed a plan if I wanted to bulk up. I read the stickies by EFFORT and DIESEL and saw that I should do squats, deadlifts, and bench pressing. At my college's gym, we get a free hour to consult with a personal trainer and make a fitness plan. I told him that I wanted squats, deadlifts, and benching to be a major part of my workout. This is what we came up with. Each workout will have 3 sets and 6 reps. He said that if I can do 8 reps or more, then its not enough weight.
Back Squat
Dead Lift
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Knee Extension
Calf
Bench Press
Lat Pull Down
Incline bench press
Seated row (It's cardio, so I'm a bit wary)
Pectoral Fly
Shoulder Press
Dumbbell Backrow
Bicep Curl
Tricep Extension
Low Cable Curl (as a bicep suppliment)
Dips
Forearms (rock a weight back and fourth with my wrist, 10-15 reps)
My concern is that there are too many workouts and that maybe squats/deads/bench are only a small part of the plan. How should I change it? I'm 5'9 and 145lbs right now.
