I try...try to do cardio before work @ 545 am, however i often times dont for obvious reasons.
I do MAX-OT for my main routine, i developed my own routine based on their sysetem, however i found that i like to add in some iso excersises on that particular muscles 3 day rest. It seems like alot but im 24 and my recovery is good, so i figure i might as well push it while im still relatively young. I do not double up with isolating legs because i play ice hockey once a week and roller hockey every once in a while plus cardio. I also do some powerlifting stuff on saturdays, but i only recently started that. so...

I have not seen anybody post along with their workout routine the gains made. I have no problem giving credit where credit is due. Secondly, please add if you are on steroids or not! I have yet to see a person that can gain MORE than 10-15 lbs of muscle in a year unless you are doing steroids of course. I'm sure there could be one or two out there but that could be rare. On the other hand, gaining body weight does not mean lean muscle! So unless you have a routine that can be somewhat validated with some real gains in weight or increase poundages no need to post them. There is one thing very real, people use more drugs than they let you to believe, and make sure all of you take in consideration that before jump the gun and try some of these routines. Do not get me wrong there are a few routines that are decent but some are something do be desired. Just trying to be real

I am taking protein and creatine and am eating 6 meals a day but i still dont seem to be gaining much size. Also I have a skinny frame with overdeveloped shoulders and my goal is to put on more size but with a broader, more balanced frame. Any comments and suggestions would be great as i dont know what im doing wrong. |

I cycle my workouts every 4 mo. but this is my current. I did alot of research on this and it seems to be a very effective workout for the tight schedule i have. I know that thats not a good excuse but i'm out of the house from 3 a.m. till 6 p.m. 6 days a week. you need dedication and a partner that pushes you on those off days awlays helps i wouldn't recomend this plan if your a begginner. every third workout i supplement dumbells for barbells.
