Some pics: want some input perhaps

Alright I've not really been working out at all yet, I'm planning on starting something up this next week with a friend of mine. My question is if anybody has any suggestions as to what I should focus on; I want get bigger pecs and biceps I guess but I want to keep it all balanced of course. Any suggestions on a workout routine (Mondays and Wednesdays I have absolutely no free time because of a school schedule from 8AM until 9PM) are welcomed!







I'm 5'10", 125Lbs, and, as you can probably see, I have very little BF%

Start with the basics and concentrate on strict form, not the weight being used. Deadlifts, squats, benchpress, pullups, etc. are all good compound movements that will be good for the CNS (central nervous system) to stimulate growth hormone and protein synethis.

I agree with everything gooseneck has mentioned, also i would train each bodypart no more than once per week.

Also since you seem to have a very high metabolism, a bit like before i started training, don't do cardio for the first year or two of training, as i dont think it would be necessary at all (was not necessary for me, and i was probably a touch more bf% than you currently, when i started), since you want to focus on building the muscle, the fat won't pack on unless your eating just junk food.

Also don't be scared to take inthe carbs, they are highly needed along with good amounts of protein i dont think you need to have more than 130-140 throughout the day (i dont think ive ever taken in that much in a day unless i had pizza.) and make sure you consume a mixture of whey (prior / post training) and casein proteins (milk dairy etc) for other periods as they release at a much lower rate which provides a constant feed of protein to the body.

All the best :

Well for carbs I took in probably over 200g today, heh, and that was a fairly normal day of eating for me. Oh well, the food that I had was decent and so I don't see it really being much of a problem.

Thanks for the advice! I'll surely post pictures up once I start seeing some results or whatnot.

Cheers. :

bulk up

I've been eating quite a bit in the past four weeks; gained a little over 5lbs, which isn't too bad. Because of my very irregular schedule still, I've not had much time to set a workout routine. Hopefully when school starts next week, that can change; also my family is getting a family subscription to the gym/fitness center around here, so that'll help out with the equipment I'll be able to use.

Without further ado:







Comments always welcome.

Yep, just train using all the basic/compound exercises for each body part, and make sure you supplement and eat properly throughout the day, as well as before and after each workout. Drink upwards of 1 gallon of water per day, and get 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

Be consistent and try to execute good form to ensure that you can feel the intended muscle being worked heavily. As said before, don't be too concerned with the amount of weight you are using, just make sure you are working the muscle hard....and establish the mind-to-muscle connection. This is important.

If at any point along the way, you feel that gains have slowed down, then up your overall daily calorie intake by a little and then assess what happens...keep doing this until you begin to grow again.

If you do indeed have a very fast metabolism, then the above will apply to you heavily, and getting in enough clean calories every 2-3 hours throughout each day might be your biggest challenge. Need any questions answered, don't hesitate to PM me.

Good luck!
