helpful criticism??

[adamcole87]

ok so this is my first post ever and i've been reading as much as i can and i think this is alright but what tdo u thinK??
Lifting routine
monday-chest:flat, incline,and decline bench then dumbell flys then finish with the peck deck until i cant go any more then maybe some push ups

tues-back:Pullups, rows, deadlift,and some other pull machine?

wed-legs:squat and calf raises not really big on legs yet but workin on it

thurs-arms:tricep extension, skull crushers, dips, and kickbacks then straight bar curls, concentration curls, and hammer curls the last but not least forarm curls until im spent

friday-shoulders:overhead press, overhead press and twist, front and side raises,and upright rows

im off sat and sun and my eating habits are alright but what do u thnk

[getfit]

ditch the kickbacks, upright rows, what set/rep range?

what you doing for hammies?

[laxguy1028]

For chest don't do incline, decline and flat. Pick two of those, one of BB and one for DB. That is also a lot of volume for arm day, you might want to done that down. And please, DROP the kickbacks!!

[adamcole87]

im not much for kickbacks but upright rows are good i thought should i throw another workout in there instead and im not really doing anything for hammies what should i do

[laxguy1028]

For hammies do Straight Leg Deads and Glute ham Raises

[getfit]

why are upright rows good?

SLDL's for hammies

[adamcole87]

if i were to tone down my arm day where would i put those workouts in because my forarms and biceps get worked alot when i do back maybe i should do triceps with my chest or shoulders?

[getfit]

you can do back and tri's

[getfit]

have you progressed with this split?

[adamcole87]

im not sure i still need to get a max for everthing and get a base going but if i through tris with my back then i will be working my bis, tris, forarms, and back

[getfit]

i believe you have to much going on, way to much arm work/upper body and not enough lower body.

what's the diet like?

[adamcole87]

well today is like this
11:30 gronala bar, apple, and two eggs
1:30 hot pocket and handful of mixed nuts
3:30 lean cuisien micro meal and handful of nuts
5:30 double cheeseburger w/small fry
7:00lift
8:00 protien shake and a snack
10:00 dinner usually meat and potatoes

^^^^^ Read all of that, your diet needs a lot of work

[adamcole87]

so what could i do to better my workout
and u think my eating habits should change to

[getfit]

cut down the volume and why not try an upper/lower split hit everything twice.

Yes to the second part

[adamcole87]

u mean like doin monday:chest and tris tues: back and bis wed:legs but where would it go from there

[getfit]

you really don't need to do all the accessory work, get in your compound lifts and your ready to go.

[Unreal]

Just do WBB1 or BGB. Much easier then trying to tweak your crappy routine.

As for diet, read all the stickies and post in the diet forum.

[adamcole87]

alright ill try a routine here but which one would u suggest for a 145 lb hardgainer

[Unreal]

No such thing as a hard gainer. If you think your a hard gainer its because your diet blows. You need to get that on track. Either routine is 100x better then what your doing. Pick one, stick to it for 3-4 months, and eat enough to gain 1-2lbs a week.

Goto Hurricanes and get a full disaster burrito every day. Or goto Los Cuates and get a combo plate daily. Mmmm, I miss Albuquerque.

[adamcole87]

alright for sure, thanx for the feedback i've been looking forward to a change anyhow
