Gym Rats
Well ive been going to the gym for 2 years now. on and off but now ive been there everyday cept weekends. i usually end up doing what i feel necessary no set up or plan. i was wondering what do you guys do? how your workout plan is? and how do you get the best out of it? mainly im just trying to get big and strong. without using supplements. anyways. how do you guys work out? i know sex is a good way to work out too.

i go 2-3 times a week
i alternate upper and lower.... my plan usually goes strength training 3 weeks take a week break. Then muscle tone for 3 weeks that way I always keep the body guessing... and ab's at the end of every work out... I got a mens health fitness/work out book from my public library that I took some work outs from and saw great results.....

i lift like a body builder too. but i seem like im stuck with the weight ive been doing. the only improvement i seen. was benching from 110 to 135 (10 lbs above my weight).
i took creatine last year. i got sick from it. i try to stay away from creatine. but other supplements like muscle milk ill take. its just im more of a taste person. cuz i can down the chunky drinks. ltrrtl218, how you do you lift? on a week? for example. chest and triceps monday? legs tuesday? biceps and back wednesday? cuz my setup is all random i go to whatever i feel like working out. (which i feel like it wont get me anymore stronger)

ur body doesnt produce protein. u need to take in 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight to help the body build muscle and strength. And on top of that u need to eat at least 4000-4500 good calories a day if ur trying to gain size

mondays and thursday - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
tuesdays and fridays - Legs, Back and Biceps wednesdays - cardio 16-20 sets of each body part (4 or 5 different exercises/machines). 8 reps (more weight) one week, 10 reps (normal weight) the next and 12 reps (less weight) the next, and cycle through that way I havent worked out in a 9 months atleast, but that's the regimen i've used for the past 8 years, as it is the same as many college and professional football teams today. My father played in the NFL for 15 years and it worked for him, so i use it as well. If i consistently work out that way for 2-3 months, i normally see a 40-80lb increase on any one exercise. eg: start out benching 200, within 10 weeks i'll be around 270. -GP-

good, i'm glad. The reason for alternating between body parts is that your muscles need to rest in between work-outs and it takes a good 2 days for your muscles to repair all the damage you did in the previous session. I cant explain it as well as my father as he is a nutrition fitness major and has been doing the same workout for 30+ years. -GP-

ive been lifting consistently for about 5 years now so ive tried many different types of lifting programs. my program at the moment isnt so much to bulk up, since im not trying to bulk up for boxing because im thinking of signing up for a fight in a little while. Ur body needs change in its routine otherwise it will get used to the lifts ur doing. that doesnt mean cut out the essential lifts but try to vary up the reps and rest times u take. I try to stick to a 3 day one day off split (sometimes it gets a little messed up due to boxing). Mon-Chest, Tues-back, Wed-bi's and tri's, Thrus-day off, -friday-legs. Ill throw in abs in somewhere depending on the day. Back in the day i was hitting the gym twice a day. Which would mean i would hit each muscle twice a week. After about a year of that I got burned out on going to the gym that much. The key is to do what your body responds to the best. Stick to a program for at least 6 weeks since that is what most people say is required to notice results from a new routine. If that routine doesnt work then switch it up again. As im sure u know its all about ur diet and how much and what u eat. You can lift as hard as you want but if the calories and protein arent there to back up the lifting youll go no where size wise. If u want more detail on a workout plan or a diet just send me a PM.

If you are totally beat and feel like you cant continue in a workout, then negatives are a great alternative to just stopping your session  so you heard correctly.-GP-
