Welshy_Pete -> Training routine and reps need advice (May 4 2008 13:55:59)
Hello my Training routine need abit of advice so Im on the correct track. Started training febuaray 6th 2008. At the moment I got my own gym equipment and need advice on reps how many should I aim for at the most with multi gym pull down bar? chest arm? legs? To start of with warm ups I use V shaped leg thing 200 reps then spring on arms 100 reps then wrist exercise 50 at reps. At the moment doing 9 weights on pull down bar at 49.5kg with 150 reps. Then 7 weights on the chest arms at 38.5kg with 150 reps. Then my legs at 24kg at 100 reps. I was doing more reps but cut back now but wanted to know if Im needing to cut back anywere more still. I train Monday, wednesday and Fridays I also take PhD synergy. Before started training I was weakish after car accident also thin hardly no muscles just normal. Im 5ft 10 and weight was 13.8 stone in febuaray 2008 and 26th March 14.11 when I've eaten and when not eaten 14.8 stone. Now May 4th Im 14.12 stone nearly 15 stone since started training and going up in weights in the gym. Im going up 1 weight on average 5.5kg every week is that good to be getting this results? I eat the correct times also good food as well no rubbish. Any help or adivce would be great thanks

Hello Mate. Ok i'll keep this simple... take a look at the following articles for some base knowledge: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=998224 http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/article-beginners-guide.aspx http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/article-beginners-first-stop.aspx http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/article-beginners-faq.aspx Tons of information there that will answer alot of your questions and give you a sound base knowledge of whats required. Ok with regards to your post.Im not overly sure of the exact equipment you have for training at home so it kind of makes it hard to give any solid answers. What did catch my eye is the following: "At the moment doing 9 weights on pull down bar at 49.5kg with 150 reps. Then 7 weights on the chest arms at 38.5kg with 150 reps. Then my legs at 24kg at 100 reps. " Am i reading that right ...150 reps is A LOT to be doing for pull downs.....what exercises for chest and arms are you doing exactly?? Are you doing that many reps for all of the exercises? It just all looks a bit vague. Post up your current routine so we can take a look at the structure of it...list the days you workout with the movements.....for example if i did squats, bench press, deadlift and chins on monday i'd put it like: Monday: Squats Bench press deadlift chins Thats just so you know how to put it up so we can take a look. Once we can get a clear idea of what your currently on we will be better placed to advise/help.
