[rreynier]

Been workin out on/off for bout 5 years.. ill go for a month.. 3 times a week.. then ill not go for a month.. sometimes those periods were longer. Anyway, never realy did protein or any supplements, just ate throughout the day when I was hungry. Now im drinkin bout 2 x a week.

Stats (dont realy ever test myself)
Bench 230 is only one i can think of.. been going to apartment gym.
6ft, 168pounds, age 21

Anyway, ive decided I wanna step it up a bit, so what do you guys recommend?

Try to keep the drinking under control, too. Good luck!

You have great potential.
Eat properly and slow down on the drinking.

heh.. im tryin to hold down the drinking.. so exactly how bad is drinking anyway.

does it hinder your muscle growth.. or does it just increase ur fat%.. whats the exact deal with it?

[getfit]

a drink once and awhile is fine,how often do you drink?

[p0tential]

The effects of drinking have been discussed many times. Just do a search for it and you'll find a lot of info.
And yes, a drink once in a while is ok, just dont go overboard.

Woot! Looking very lean man!

Drink Like a fish! Its packed full of calories and gets you ripped! I'm irish, I know!

It looks like you have a great genetic structure. You should look great after adding about 20 lbs, if that's on your list of goals.

Looking good. Shoulders seem lacking, though.

[rreynier]

i dont realy do shoulders.. should prolly do that huh :)

for the most part i do chest, biceps, triceps (my old workout), and since I play ultimate frisbee 3 times a week.. i try to avoid leg work outs because it seems like i wont be able to run 100% at games/practices if i do.

btw, whats a good shoulder excercise?

[getfit]

umm, work your legs, military press,bent over lat raises etc...

Hahah! Shouldda known :p

I train at a provincial level for waterpolo 3 times a week right now, should I stop doing upper body because I won't be able to swim 100%? Oh wait, I guess I should avoid legs too because then I won't be able to tread water 100%.... **** guys... I guess I won't be around these forums anymore, I can't lift weights... :(

Now you know what to do. Don't neglect the rest of your body.
