Download the Stronglifts 5x5 app. It's a simple routine that gives you a great foundation for more advanced programs. I went from that to the Mike Rashid total body over training program. Good luck fam

you don't have to do "20 reps"

anything over ten is adequate. ten will get you toned over ten builds muscle my routine is 15 reps 5 sets

and yeah peanuts, peanut butter, eggs, and chicken are your friends.

my mistakes when i first started:

diet: throwing fruits in a blender for smoothies. figure you are eating 5 fruits at once poured in a glass, high sugar content even with it being natural sugar

workout: hitting weights more then i would do cardio i was building muscle sure but it was underneath fat still.
Nah brah...You will never get hard mature muscle without putting in minimum 15 reps..I can promise u that I'm the biggest strongest guy here...I train with the best of em..315 x30 warm-up on bench..brah

Man it crazy your saying this, I pretty much do 20 reps of everything except bench 5x18(3 6's low,regular,high) & dips, curls and when I do the tricep gantlet...I fuck with CT but not like that!!!


The eating schedule is my biggest problem. Getting off at 5:30 -6:00, I'm not about to eat when I like to be at the gym for 7. Eating through the work day is kinda rough also. So until I changed jobs It's probably gonna be that way.
Just eat Tuna packs and brown rice dailyat least 3 to 4 of them..U will grow and shed fat like a muffucka...Don't do creatine and the other shit like that..If u need energy.. Nodoze caffeine pills only..It's a natural diuretic..brah

Fa sho, this is very doable

I eat tuna often with boiled eggs normally without bread(Monday I had a few slices of wheat bread).

I can do brown rice I don't have a problem with it...

So no protein shakes,

I normally blend up different combination using these (pineapples, mango, blueberries, bananas, spinach, coconut water) add a few scoops of whey.

Mike Rashid & CT Fletcher video, but you need to have a strong mind. Working out is a lifestyle change being constant, changing your eating habits. After while you don't even crave for bad food. Greasy ass pizza & burgers. For me it's the challenge to accomplish a challenge.

For instance I just want to bench 225lb, pass that now I'm up to 315 hard for me to get pass 315 due to weight and size 6'2 180lb. Also bench 110 individual dumbbell. Last thing seeing all the women attend the gym keeps me in there. Sexy ass woman was on the leg curls in front of me. I ran a extra mile on the treadmill behind her!

Even more good ass info! Thanks Fella's. To clear things up on smoking. I think it didn't matter what I smoked as long as I smoked. I don't smoke cigarettes, I smoke weed.

Fellas, these are all great tips. If you have the extra bread you should consider a personal trainer. He or she will craft a work out that is in tune with your goals and you won't fall into a rut that some of us do working out on your own. Plus, since you are paying your own money, it will motivate you to go. My trainer is a beast and since I've been working with him, no two workouts have been the same. As for cardio work, running outdoors is the best. I can't stand a treadmill, but that's just me.

The thing with me was when I would jog outside... man my fuckin legs would ITCH like a mother fucker.
:D

I thought this was just me. After a couple of runs it goes away. But I used to HATE that shit. Legs and my midsection would just itch and itch.

I'm in good shape but I want to cut up so I've been eating healthy as usual, but been doing a lot of calisthenics and cardio. The thing with me was when I would jog outside... man my fuckin legs would ITCH like a mother fucker.

If you ever have this problem, the solution is to take like 1 or 2 antihistamine pills. Just make sure it is Loratadine and NOT diphenhydramine. The diphenhydramine will have you drowsy as fuck. I jog with pure ease now.:D


i hate that shit it fucking kills the whole thing when running. thanks for the tip. no matter how much you run indoors as soon as you do it outside no matter the weather that itch would drive me crazy

creatine if not used properly will fuck you up something serious if you don't use it properly including kidney damage. most people don't know to cycle on/cycle off when using it
If not used properly...oh....ok.

if you're just starting dont' worry so much about weight lifting. concentrate on cardio. Running, jump rope, basic calisthenics.
and stop smoking.

Bad advice weight lifting is better for weight loss then cardio. You get a good workout with compound movements your body is still burning fat even at rest. I wish i wouldnt have focused on cardio when i started out a few years ago so much muscle loss i could have avoided :smh:

You're burning fat even at rest while building muscle. Heavy cardio and no weights equals losing muscle, going to be looking like one of those cyclists and shit. I lost 100 pounds doing only cardio...I was dumb as fuck. I wouldn't do no more than 15-20 mins of high impact cardio 2-3 times a week. Weights should be the main focus.

if you wanna make improvements....just about any routine will help you in your quest...but it's about HOW you lift....as well..

are you quarter-reppin' or usin' full range of motion...are you using momentum or are you controllin' the weight on the way down and explodin' back up...

once you have your routine...also search youtube for videos on how to perform the exercises with correct form....so when you're doin' the bench press...you're workin' your CHEST and not just your Front Delts....

don't 'ego' lift...pick a weight that's a challenge to you..that you can lift with perfect form..6 to 12 times... doesn't matter if it's only 10 pounds...and remember to warm-up..

and goin' to the gym...is only like 20% of gettin' bigger and/or stronger....your nutrition game has to be on point....make sure you're gettin' enough protein ..carbs and fats..

make sure you get enough sleep at night....

if you want your muscles to grow you need to hit 'em at least twice a week...

protein synthesis...aka..when your body uses protein to repair and build new muscle...takes 24-48 hours...so allow each body part 2 days rest in between sessions...and give your body the nutrients it needs to help you recover...approximately one gram of protein per pound you weigh....

if you're tryna get stronger...your rep range should be between 1-6 reps per set..

if you're tryna get bigger...aka cause hypertrophy...your rep range is 8-12 reps per set..

best exercises if you're a beginner...are Bench Press (Chest), Dips (Triceps/Chest), Squats (Legs), Deadlift (Back/Legs), Military Press (Shoulders), Pull-ups (Back)....

and train to failure...or may be jus one rep before failure...meaning you couldn't do one more rep if someone was offerin' a million dollars...

google....progressive overload....time under tension..and mind-muscle connection....

Good advice right here

and train to failure
Ehhh.. I wouldn't do this every workout. Personally I wouldn't train to failure more than once, maybe twice a week, especially if you're a beginner. Training to failure can zap your muscles and energy. Have you fucked up the next day, and takes your muscles longer to recover. That ideal body type you're hoping for takes years to achieve, not weeks or months. That's why progressive overload is key. Progress over time.
