Hey, i'm new to the forums, but i've been working out for about a year now. I started out doing bodybuilding type workouts. I was working 1 muscle a week for at least 20 sets a workout. Latelly i've decided to change up my workout so i decided to do the workout below on monday-wed-friday, and do cardio tue-thur-sat. I'd love to get some advice from you guys, who know at least 100times as much as i do.


Thursday- Trying out the workout, because i'm planning on doing it next week. I'm hoping i actually get sore from a 1 set workout. :(


My back was soar today from doing Jeff Vanco's squat/deadlift workout, so i felt pretty soar.

Smith Machine Squat- 135X4reps 185X2 135X2 (only enough time to take off the 25lb plates)

Leg Extensions- 140X11 (need to up weight)

Leg Curls- 90X10 (need to up weight)

dumbbell pullovers- 20X8 25X11 (need to up- will use barbell, for more lbs)

arnold press- 25X10 (warmup-don't have bigger dumbbells)

smith machine military press- 95X10 (need to up)

seated rows- 90X11 (need to up)

smith machine bench press- 155X10 (need to up)

smith machine pully bicep curls- 70X4 50X8

Tricep extensions- 70Xmiss 50Xmiss 20X10 (extremelly easy)

Pullups- bodyXmiss

Pulldowns- 90X10 (extremelly easy)

Dips- bodyX10

Looking at these PATHETIC lifts is even more motivation to really get my act together.

Sunday- Was bored to i decided to go mess around outside. I did these lifts with really old rusty weights, because i can't deadlift on the smith machine.

Deadlift- 275X4 255X3 205X6 135X6 (No rest between/all the weight i have)

Clean & Jerk- 135 to chest, easy. Overhead pressed with some leg drive X2sets

I can't wait untill monday to really get started on this new workout i'm planning on trying.

Paul Neuhaus

Aron, I know you're young. So, if you plan on doing clean n jerks, you should hook up with someone who help you with your technique on this lift. It's a lift that requires far more technique than the average guy thinks. You stated than on your O/H press, you used "some" leg drive. A jerk uses a lot of leg drive. Clean up your technique, and you'll be cleaning n jerking tons of weight in no time.

Yeah, i have pretty horrible technique. When i o/h press it's really more of a strict press. I'm not that worried about it though, i'm really just doing them for fun.

Nice to have another 16 year old aboard man. Stop knocking yourself down about your workouts, your stronger than me and we've been working out from round the same time, at least a year. And also as someone else posted earlier you need to add lots of rows into your routine man.

Just to let you know....you should be worried about them. They are a far more important exercise than anything you can do on the smith machine. And don't worry about rusty weights either. Check out the pic of Jesse doing a behind the neck jerk with 500 lbs with rusry weights. Dont worry about your weights just add a rep here and a pound there and before you know it you'll be moving some heavy stuff! By the way, as far as one set training goes: the theory is good but one set of an exercise 3 times a week is not enough to get good technically at it. If you wanted to get good at shooting hoops you wouldn't just do 10 free throws every other day would you? I'm not saying take every set to failure and I'm not knocking anyone elses methods but I train teenagers all the time and they need plenty of practice on each exercise to get technically proficient. And, ask anyone moving any serious weight: without technique you will never get close to your full potential. My advice is find a competent coach who you trust and get them to teach you correct technique on squats, deads, bench, clean and jerk and bent rows. Then get to work on a good 5 sets of 5 program or a similar one laid out by your chosen coach. If someone had taken me aside and given me that advice when I was a teen it would have saved me years (if I was smart enough to listen) of wasted effort following bodybuilding routines from the magazines. Thank God the internet wasn't around back then or I would have been totally confused-lol. If you go on Jackals Gym's website they have a workout calculator that will calculate your weights based on projected maxes and lay out a whole routine for you to follow.
Good Luck!

I was really critical about that workout, too, but i was browsing the internet and it looked like a lot of people supported it. After doint he workout yesterday i'm not sore at all today and i'm starting to doubt if it'll work. I was thinking about going back to soemthing similar to my old workouts.

I was thinking either this:
moday- bench/chest(maybe some flys)
tuesday-lats/some rows
wednesday- deadlift/squat
thursday- incline bench/shoulders(everhead, upright rows, front raises)
friday- arms

or this:

monday- push(chest)
tuesday- pull(lats/mid back)
wednesday- legs
thursday- push(shoulders)
friday- pull(traps/lower back)

unless someone posts something agains this, i'll probably do the 1st workout for today, and work lats/mid back.

and thanks for all the advice, i apreciate it.

and i've been shown how to do deadlift/c&j, but i'm really in-experienced with them. I know that the smith machine, alone, isn't as good as using other things, but it's all i have to work on :( and 275lb(with bar) of weight outside.

One thing I wish I would have done as a youngster is lifting odd objects (ie strongman stuff). Get yourself a copy of Brooks Kubik's book "Dinosaur Training" and read up - its full of good ways to get strong. Good luck with the training.

Thursday- I'm a bit disapointed today. Yesterday's workout didn't really hit me liek i was hoping it would. I also realized that i've gained 20lb this month, and that's ridiculus. I used to eat pretty clean, i drank NO soda at all, and i usually stayed around 2000 calories a day (+post workout shakes). I was drinking at least a galon and a 1/2 of water a day, and i had actually lost like 20lb(not really a goal, but i'm happy with it). After eating a whole tombstone pizza and drinking like 4 diet cokes i've decided i need to get on top of my diet. This is what i was eating before and i'm thinking of going back to something similar.

This is what i was doing:
breakfast- 1bowl cereal w/ skim milk. oatmeal ocasionaly, but normally cereal.

School- 1 slice of pizza(i'm thinking of not eating this, and taking an oat bar or something, instead.)

lunch- 1 chicken breast, or 2 turkey burgers. banana/apple if i have some.

Workout

post- workout- 1 muscle milk.

Dinner-**This is where i normally eat something bad** :( it's because i dont' really have anything planned for dinner... I'm thinking about just having liek an oat bar, or maybe having a muscle mile, or whey protein before i go to sleep.


Any opinions/Advice for my diet would be apreciated, because i dont' really know ANYTHING about what ih should be eating.

Patrick McGuffin
09-29-2005, 06:20 PM
i have the same problem as you and i just started dieting again myself(i slipped for about a month and gained a tonn)(scince my sophmore year i have lost about 50 lbs and then i got off track again)
-cerial can be verry 'iffy' if you are not carfull, dont eat anything that is sugary (ie:cocoa pebbles) and make sure it is something made from whole grain
-pizza is bad no matter how you look at it and it would be a good idea to switch it with something healthier(sp?) and with more protien,like a protien bar, peanutbutter sandwich(natural pb), jerky, chicken tenders ect. (if you look in the nutrition center i already asked about things i could bring ,its titled 'protien bars?'(if its your lunch at school i would opt for a whole meal)
-for lunch and dinner go for lean meat and some sort of carbs with a low GI(like brown rice and oats) and make sure to add vegtables

eating 5 or 6 meals a day is great for "not really knowing anything" so give yourself a little more credit,you seemed to know what you were doing wrong. add as much protien as you can, i try to go for 1-3 grams of protien per pound of bw which helps alot when trying to gain strength(gotta love proten shakes)

Didn't work out yesterday, and i didn't end up falling asleep untill like 3am, then i had to get up at 5:30am to go to school. So i went to sleep as soon as i got home from school and i just woke up. I feel bad cuz i haven't worked out in 2 days, and i ate like crap. I've decided that starting tomorrow i'm going to follow my diet 100%. I'm planning on having a whey protein for breakfast, post workouot, and b4 i go to bed. I'll also add in a breast of chicken and a turkey burger or two. I'm making a resolution to stop driking pop, and all this damn pizza i've been having.

I've also convinced my dad to let me make some atlas stones(we have all the stuff already). So i'll be able to mess around with them on the weekends, and i'll hopefully be able to get some more stuff(eventually).

next week i'm going to do this workout.

monday-Deadlift/Squat
tuesday-Traps/midback/lats
wednesday-Shoulders
Thursday-Chest
Fridiay-Off
Saturday- Play with the stones that will hopefully be done, and i'll prolly do some C&J and forearm work(untill i get more stuff).

I have no idea if that workout's a good idea or not, but it sounds like fun to me :-/

I hope you're not judging the quality of your work-outs by how sore you are the next day. That's just a myth. I'm no personal trainer, so I can't explain the "science" of it. But, I get plenty of good work-outs without being sore the next day. Give your routine some time, at least a few weeks.
Judge the quality of your routine by how big and strong you get, not by how sore you get.

i'm really exited right now. Me and my dad just got bac from home depot. We got 2 bags of portland cement, 2 75lb bags of sand, and the stuff for the mold. We're about to go to the walmart and get a big ball. I also got 3 50lb bags of sand. I'm thinking i'll duct tape 2 together, then i can press the 100lb bag, and teh 50. :)

tuesday-squat/deadlift

SM Squat- 135---> 225X8 ---> 135... (in 20 lb increments) then i did a 20rep squat with 135...

i was too tired to do deadlifts :( .. i'll make sure to do them 1st next week.

i'm looking into losing some weight. i'd like to drop to about 210lb from 250lb. I'm thinking i could do this in like 6 months, but i think that might be too fast.

_______________________________________
2morrow i'm hoping to do this routine:

oat bar/oatmeal & 100% whey protein shake

school lunch: an oat bar or 2

1 chick breast in burito w/ salsa + ranch

workout

1 muscle milk

something b4 i go to sleep, probably a chicken breast or a muscle milk.

sounds fun but... where was the stone lifting?

we lifted the stone, but we had no platform. We just did who could get it higher up on their body. i got it to my shoulder and lifted it maybee 4 inches into the air. one of my other friends got it to his chest, but that was it.
