Cheers. Thanks Oddball, I will keep it clean =)
 
also to get best results try changing your diet-limit your sugar and carb intake and start taking in more protein to help build muscle mass. cut out anything that doesnt benefit your body as a machine-junk food, pop/soda, candy, white bread (and white rice). and drink lots of water.

Will do. Don't have time right now, but I will when I get home ;)
 
Ok guys, here is the plan: I have started watching what I eat. (This is coming more from the girlfriend. She is a health nut with food, so she is telling me what I can and can not eat.) I have also started drinking a protein shake every morning with breakfast.

As far as working out: I start Sept. 2, as this is when school starts again. I will already be going to campus everyday.

Mondays and Wed: Bench Press Machine, Curling Machine, Tricep Pull down thingy, Butterfly Machine

Tues and Thurs: Leg Extensions machine, Leg pull down machine, Leg press machine.

Friday: OFF, will do cardio. (Most likely swim)

Any suggestions?
 
How many reps and sets will you be doing?

Dunno yet. Most likely 3 x 10-15 on each.


Should I take to failure? I'm not really trying to become a muscle-head, more just trying to have my muscles noticeable.
 
Starting out I would just do whatever gets real hard by the 10th rep.Do that 3 to 4 times each movement.You need to get your body a bit used to this first.If you go too hard you can strain something and it will ruin this all especialy until you get good form.
 
ok... problem.. dont do your Bicep and triep AND chest on the same day... do Chest, Tri and shoulder one day, then Back and Bi and forarms... what you would do is say this.

Monday- core workout= Bench press, followed by dumbell press, incline press, decline press and shoulder press. then after this get in some workout that single out the tricep, like dips (on bench or in air) even diamond pushups.

Tuesday- Core workout= Power clean. followed by pullups (palms out) then bicep curls, lawnmowers, shrugs, forarm curls and then behind your back wrist flexea (hold bar behind your back, keep hands touching your sides, face palms backwards and lift the bar up, you will feel the burn in your forarms).

wednesday Core workout= squat or legpress (wichever is more comfortable) follow byl leg Machines (i cant remember technical terms lol) do the one that works quads, then the ones that makes you curl backwards, then do lunges with a bar + as much wieght as you can handle. do 50 yrd lunges at a time.

Thursday, repeat monday,

Friday, repeat tuesday

sta. rest

sun. rest

monday. repeat Wednesdays workout.

10-15 reps are more "cutting" reps. Go heavy with 6-8 reps to build up some size.
