well my goal is to get somewhat big but not to big. I want the big arms, decent sized chest, nice wide broad shoulders and then a slimmed up waist. right now my upper body looks decent but my belly just will not come off this time around. I'm about to start taking stuff if I can't do it naturally because this is bullsh1t. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif You can hit me up on aim if you want. Just tell me and I'll jump on
The most important thing to remember is it takes time and dedication. And whereas you may not think your growing like you should be, other people will notice it better than you. For example, my freshman year of college when I became serious about lifting I gained about 10lbs. I didn't think I got all that much bigger. But when I came back home from the summer people who hadn't seen me in a while were like 'STEROIDS!' That is what keeps me motivated.
Diet is also a huge factor. Before my freshman year I never ate right. I started ingesting around 1g protein per pound of body weight and the muscle came on.
I'd recommend a split similar to as follows for about 8-10 weeks to really get into it.
Monday-Chest/Triceps
Tuesday-Back/Biceps
Wednesday-Legs
Thurs-off
Friday-off
Repeat
Throw in abs twice a week and you got a good routine. If you haven't been lifting, I'd start off about 12 sets per body part. Keep your sets to something like 12x10x8x8 reps for each exercise.
After about 10 weeks of that, you will see improvement in size and strength. A good follow up routine would be a 5x5 program to REALLY pack on some more mass.
About the loosing the belly..My current goal is working on my 6 pack. It is there, and I can see the outline, but the beer drinking killed me on this.. I have been on a cutting diet for about 10 weeks and have lost 8 pounds. I thought 8lbs would do wonders, but apparently I had more fat on me than I thought. I am currently taking Lipo 6 and I like to think that it is helping. However my diet is change is where the weight loss is definitely coming from. I am just now starting to run. I am just hoping it is easier to keep a flat stomach than it is to get it.
