Hey there.

You can train chest/abs 2x per week...also yes you can move up to 5 sets.

Give your chest 3 days of rest from the first day you hit it. On the 3rd day, you can do 10 sets of chest, 5 sets of bench press and 5 sets of flies - don't go quite as heavy, instead try and build up for the pump. This will require moderately heavy weight (approx 60-80% of max) and do it for as many reps as you can until failure...gradually going up in weight. Just add the chest to the 3rd day (regardless of what you are training that day).

As far as abs go, you can train them up to 3 times a week for your goals. Just add them on to the beginning or end of a workout every other day.


I will do that!, thanks, I just didnt wanna overtrain

is there any reason why you do not include deadlifts in your cutting workout routine?

Hey there.

First of all, for 6'0 167, you need to go on a hard lean bulking cycle until you get up to around 200 lbs, and then cut down to around 180 @ 6-8% BF. Then you will resume bulking and go up to 210 and cut to 190 and so forth.

Your cycles should look like this

1. Bulk until 200 lbs (as long as it takes, approx 8-12 months for clean bulk)
2. Cut until 180 or 6-8% bf (takes approx 2 months)
3. Bulk until 210 lbs (takes approx 8 months)
4. Cut until 190 lbs (takes approx 2 months)

ETC.


Continue until you achieve desired results. As for your macros and so forth, you will need the following for a solid lean bulk at your height/weight assuming you are using a proper weight lifting routine.


3,000 calories

40% carbs, 40%  protein, 20% fat  (percentages are CALORIE based, not gram based)

that means, 300g protein, 300g carbs and 70g fat.



Sample meal plan for you would be:



Meal 1 - 3 whole eggs, 1 cup cooked oatmeal, 1 cup fresh fruit, 8oz 2% milk
Meal 2 - 1 large chicken breast or 1 can of tuna (mixed w/ mayo or mustard if desired) on top of a salad w/ olive oil and vinegar + 2x large granola bars or 2 slices whole grain bread.
Meal 3 - 1  large chicken breast w/ 1 cup of brown rice + 1 cup of black beans + 1 cup of veggies
Meal 4 - 8 oz steak + 1 cup pasta + 1 cup broccoli
Meal 5 - 2 oz cheese + 4 oz low sodium lunch meat (chicken/beef/turkey) + veggies + whole grain crackers
Meal 6 - 1 cup cottage cheese + mixed nuts or peanut butter + cinnamon + fresh fruit


POST WORKOUT DRINK 1 PROTEIN SHAKE - I recommend Cytosport Muscle Milk or Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex for a lean bulk.


ok thanks a lot for the help man

if my diet isn't as high quality as the one you posted, will cardio help make up for it?

Deadlifts are particularly effective for power. I prefer training them when on a bulk vs when on a cut mostly because of the sheer fatigue you incur from doing them. After deadlifts I generally don't want to do anything else for a very long time. When done properly, deadlifts exert true maximum effort. As a result, I like to keep them away from standard cutting routines and leave it up to other exercises until bulking recommences.

Not exactly. The key is to eat more, not less, on a bulk.

Cardio is good for the cutting phase.

You really need to keep your macros in check for optimal gains

Hey, I'm 135. I don't work out much
I'm 5'5
I am a short guy, but i have a fit body.
I would like to bulk up and gain some weight/muscle.

Personally i would prefer sticking away from Whey and stuff like that because my funds as a student are super low and i'm poor. I'm using the gym at the school
(I have like 30 dollars every two weeks to work with)
If money is needed thats my budget :S

I would like to work on all my sections but i'm a newbie at working out and i've been reading up slowly.

I also would like to know what time is best for working out if i want to bulk up and gain some muscle. I usually wake up at 9 everyday and don't have classes till 1 the earliest, also I can wake up at a different time

Lastly, I know this is alot, but i'm new. I would like to know about how much i would have to eat a day. and what quantities with what work outs. if thats possible.

Below is my goal LOL :D

Obviously i want to look like that

Hey there.

$30 every 2 weeks for food is your budget?

That is UNBELIEVABLY low - which forces you to eat a VERY restrictive diet.

Eggs are the cheapest food you can buy. Falling in at approx $1.50 / dozen when purchased in 2 dozen or more incriments would allow you to purchase 7 dozen eggs. 1 dozen eggs = approx 72g protein, 48g fat.

Milk is also good...1 gal has 124g protein, 128g fat, and 204g carbs.

below are the total choices:

So 8 dozen eggs = $12.00 @ walmart (96 eggs total) that's 6-7 eggs per day
1 Gallon of milk = $3.50 @ walmart (16 cups total) that's 1.1 cups per day
1 loaf of whole grain bread = $2.50 @ walmart (20 slices total) that;'s 1.4 slices per day
1 lb of peanut butter = $2.00 @ walmart (32 tbsp worth) that's 2.2 tbsp per day
2 lbs of 1 minute oatmeal = $2.00 @ walmart (1 cup of cooked oatmeal = 1/2 cup of dry oatmeal + water which is 20 servings for 2 lbs worth) that's 1.4 servings per day
10 lbs of bananas = $5.00 @ walmart (approx 42 bananas) that's 3 per day
4 lbs of celery = $ 2.00 @ walmart (approx 48 stalks) that's 3.4 stalks per day

That leaves you $1 left over for any possible miscalculation.



Here is your sample diet plan for a VERY restrictive budget -

YOU CAN PREPARE YOUR EGGS ANY WAY YOU LIKE!


Meal 1 - 2 whole eggs + 1 cup cooked oatmeal + 1 whole banana sliced + 1 tbsp peanut butter

Meal 2 - 2 whole eggs + 1 banana + 1 slice of whole grain bread + 2 large stalks of celery

Meal 3 - 2 whole eggs + 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal + 1 whole banana sliced + 1 tbsp peanut butter 1.5 large stalks celery

Meal 4 - 1 cup of milk (right before bed) w/ 1/2 hard boiled egg + 1/2 slice of whole grain bread


This meal plan is VERY barebones as you can see. If you could get additional money it would be GREATLY beneficial to you.

I highly recommend that you get more money though working or any means necessary (not illegal of course).

Hey there...I actually have a really good hypertrophe plan here:

Hypertrophy Plan


take a look at it and let me know if you'd care to try it. if not I will make modifications to your existing plan.


Hey,

I'm willing to try it!
It looks insane, I don't even know if I'd be able to do all of this in 1 hour?

Here are some questions on the plan:
Under the way to perform EACH exercise, I really don't know what to put in for weights.
It says 1st set is light weight, but what would be too light, and then what would be medium weight, what would be medium/heavy? I really dont know what to go with.

I don't quite understand what supersets are, I googled it but I'm still not exactly sure.
So instead of having a 30 second break between the 2 exercises that are supposed to be superset, I go straight to the other exercise right away?
What if someones using it? Or what if I have to set the weights and that makes a bit of a break.

As for the dilemma I was mentioning in my last post, my left side is a lot weaker and smaller. Should I make a day a week where I work on symmetry? And what exercises would this entail?

Thank you!
