Get Ripped

[T-MAC]

I am a 6' 1", 190lb 15 year old, and have been lifting for just over a year. I used to play football, but have stopped to focus on bodybuilding, which is more fun for me. I am looking to get SUPER shredded and add more mass, and was wondering if anyone knows a routine that can do both????
I am pretty poor and do not have enough money for supplements, but i eat about 5-7 small clean meals a day.
Please help

You dont need suppliments if youre eating right, they are used to SUPPLIMENT your diet, just make sure you eat big.

In addition to what Mcvein said, there is no routine that will make you shredded or huge at the same time. Hell getting either of those attributes comes down to diet.

Either cut and lose mostly fat, bulk for muscle and the fat that comes along, or eat at maintenace for long term gains.

You will get best results if you pick one goal at a time and work towards it. Either gain mass, or lose fat. Unless you're fat, I'd bulk first. Get on a solid routine consisting of mainly compound movements and eat big. Your diet will play a very large role in your progress. Supplements can help, but like McVein said, they are not needed. Though, if you do find it difficult to eat a lot, a meal replacement shake is an easy way to get in extra calories.

What does your current routine look like? How much do you bench, squat, and deadlift?

Bench:240
Dead:345
Squat: coming off an injury
my current routine was whatever my ex-football coach told me to do.

Thank u, and does anyone have a great routine for mass??

[Hatred]

Ditch the football routine your coach gave you for something here. Too many damned horror stories about shoulders and knees from those archaic programs.


(see:coming off an injury.)

Focus on one at a time and you'll achieve your goals much sooner.

I know, im so done with football and all those idiots.


What routine would be best for mass??

[Con]

Read the stickies.

No ROUTINE can make you gain mass.

Hence my statement earlier...

getting either of those attributes comes down to diet

[Hatred]

Nothing more to add to that. Diet is Paramount.

Cannot believe you just answered his question...

You are feeding his lack of knowledge.

Lift. Bag a really slow fat kid. Devour. Repeat.

How so? I and everybody else already mentioned diet will play a key role. A solid routine is also a part of the puzzle though. He asked for a soild routine, so I gave him two of them.

What routine would be best for mass??

Food. In specific, calories.

Also known as fork lifts.

Helpful.

I was helpful in my previous post.

Kooldrew-

His goals are mass. To gain mass, you need to gain weight. To do that, he needs eat more than he expends. That has NOTHING to do with a routine.

I know you know this, but other than his trying to progress in the gym(more weight, or more reps with previously used weight) with compound movements, he just needs to eat.

Definately wasnt trying to be a dick, but when dealing with people with a lot of questions, particularly ones that dont have answers, I believe its better to really set them straight.
