It seems so much more difficult, not just a little bit. It's just crazy how much the control issues matter. So instead of like 80% weight using chest, it's more distributed to the arms like 50/50 or something? If anyone cares to know the things I will be doing are: Lot of stretches and water Tricep Dips (Elevated) Pushups Pullups Chinups Curling Dumbell benching more stretches and then protein/fruit shake. maybe some running/jogging. gonna get http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2008/05/08/bigger-stronger-faster-post.jpg Mix it up. Use a barbell in one workout and use dumbbells in another. If these are the only movements you are doing, definitely split them up and do them on different days. An easy way to do that is pushing one day, pulling another. Also, start doing some weighted pull ups when you are able to get 5+ normal. Also, neglecting your legs if you want to get "buff" is a bad idea. When you do some heavy lifting on your legs, it will cause you body to respond by producing more testosterone which means more muscle growth overall. I think front/back squats and deadlifts definitely need to make it into your regimen. Maybe progress to cleans, jerks, snatches, but you need a bit of coaching for that stuff. A couple others for you to think about: Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk, Bent over barbell or dumbbell rows, one arm rows using the bench, handstand push ups, toes-to-bar or knees-to-elbows... so many more... Man makers- Get two dumbbells (depending on how strong you are, maybe start at 25? I do 50s and they will smoke you after a few), get in push up position with them. Do a push up, then a right arm row (in push up position), left arm row, jump up and do a squat clean with a press at the top. That's one. Just mix it up more and make it fun. | ||

I've been using dumbbells, but my work out consists quite a bit more than the stuff you have listed above (page 2) 20 pounds in a month? Jesus, how many calories a day are you taking in? Over 9000?! | ||

Don't just focus on the upper body. Do a decent amount of squats and deadlifts too. If you are wanting to bulk up, you will need to eat a bit more too. | ||

Also, work some leg excessive in there! The funniest thing to see at the gym are the people who are yoked out of their mind upper body with scrawny legs. | ||

Anyone who's below a BMI of 25 or so (not including excess fat) will get the best gains off a beginner program that focuses on heavy compound lifts and linear progression. My friend I've been helping has put on 6Kg of mass, dropped fat and almost doubled all of his lifts in just about 4 months now. If you're dedicated and do the program properly, it works wonders. I dunno my bmi, can u tell it by the pic? | ||

I was just asking him to guesstimate. Cause what if I was 6'2" 250 but it was all muscle, that conversion doesn't know if it's fat so it'll say i'm over. That thing says 21 is normal | ||

Diet is a huge aspect of working out that's often overlooked, so find a decent plan for what you want to be eating and how much of it. Also, look into protein powder, fish oil, and multivitamins. (Don't bother with creatine at this point.) Don't forget to get rid of the soda, alcohol, and fast food. | ||

Don't forget to get rid of the soda, alcohol, and fast food. i have whey protein, the problem with me isn't eating badly, it's just not eating enough and not exercizing enough. These aren't actually life choices though, kind of just a byproduct of being broke. | ||
