    Weight Lifting Routine?

    hi, i was wondering if you can give me some thoughts over this routine i have, i workout at my school, and i only have 30 minutes in that class to workout. I am 17 years of age, i weight 150, and my height is 5'6 5'7. My nutrition is like any teenager, in the morning i take whey protien with milk, at school i eat whatever there is for lunch, or sometimes a salad, after i workout i take whey protien with water, then i get home and eat whatever my mom made, then later on i take 3g of creatine, and i recently started eating cottage cheese with yogurt before bed to avoid catabolism. What do you guys think about this routine, its based on lifting heavy, moderate, and light to finish off the muscle.

    Your really hitting the same muscles groups a lot. I would cut a lot of that out or take a look at the HCT-12 program.

    I think it would be a waste of time to critique that routine. For someone of your training age, or someone without drugs, I'd just scrap the whole damn thing and get something tried and true. If you're trying to avoid catabolism, you're gonna need more food or less volume. Cottage cheese and yogurt before bed wont save you.

    Generally, if you read a piece of advice on the internet, assume it's wrong until proven otherwise. This applies especially to "conventional wisdom". -Belial
