Workout order

[WhitePimp]

Hey all, I'm trying out some new workout plans and I'd like someone to critique mine to let me know if I shouldnt do certain things on certain days.

I'm going for increasing bulk and size. I did a huge bicep workout on Tuesday so tomorrow I'm looking to do:

Start with heavy Ab workout, then do some minor bicep exercises, then heavy work on shoulders. Basically I'm curious if it is beneficial or harmful to do this combination on the same day?

Saturday I'm going to do a different set of heavy Ab routines, then heavy work on legs, and triceps. Are these good to do on the same day/workout?

Thanks! :rockon:

Ok, I am going to attempt to help you. Hopefully it will work. Here goes:

For a workout routine you need to start of doing something based around the heavy compound exercises. I would start of on this:

No ifs, no buts. For strength and size, initally that is all you need to do.

You also need to eat like this:

And just to convince you that "BUT MAN DON'T I NEED TO DO FREAKIN 20 SETS OF BICEP CURLS FOR 100 REPS TO GET A MASSIVE PUMP AND THOSE 20 INCH GUNZZZ" read this:

At this point all you need to do is make a log, follow what I have outlined above for 12 weeks to the T, and you will see the results for yourself. That way myself and others can help you out some more without you making endless threads on simple issues, no offence.

Good luck,

Yeah just stick to compound exercises like squats/bench/deadlifts for now. Forget isolation exercises for now. Throw one or two of them in your routine. By doing compounds, your body has to adapt and get bigger and stronger. You are limiting your arms' potential growth by just doing isolation exercises.

Frequency of doing compound is also important. I would follow the workout routine that Quagmier posted above. Hit those big muscles frequently, and hit them hard. You will notice an exceptional difference is size and strength in few weeks.

Yeah, I'm trying to gather all the info I can but there's obviously still stuff I'm clueless about! I have never done deadlifts, squats, or rows as part of a regular workout and I'm definitely going to change that now. Thanks guys! :rockon:

As a hardgainer that bulked up, a couple of tips that worked for me:

Stick with Squat, Deadlift, incline Bench.
The only supplemental exercise I do are chin/pull ups because my lats could use some more work.

I do squats and deadlifts at the beginning of the workout.
I use to do bench first, but then I'd be kinda burnt out and only half-assed my way through the squats and deadlifts.
So, consider doing squats and deadlift first.

I've tried all sorts of combinations from working out every day, to every two to three days.
What works best for me is to do squat, deadlift, bench every workout. I usually rest two to three days between workouts to recover/grow.
I usually do around 4 or five sets, 5 reps of each exercise.

Only YOU will know what routine works for you or not. Stick with it and see what results you get. Keep on experimenting..eventually your gonna find what works well for you.

bench, squat and deadlift are exercises where you put up the biggest numbers but you can try other exercises as well.

This is why it would be a good idea for him to use the "Where to Start" thread.

The routines are basic and focus mainly on the big three compound movements, most guys (and gals) will benefit from it if is there first time using this kind off approach. Don't know of one person who hasn't seen progress when trying it out.

thats true for mid to advanced people that know there body well, but not someone new, they don't know what routine works for them or not and will jump around routines blaming everything on the routine when the results don't come.
