Burton's Log

[Burton1]

Im new at this whole log situation so i thought id start mine up so i can get some feedback. What i was thinking for my lifting that i might need to drop weight on some exercises and increase reps? Also i was wondering maybe I am missing some of my muscles in my body? Any lifts that i could add would be very appreciated, thanks in advance.

Backround info: Age: 16, Weight: 200, Height: 6"1. Right now i am not taking supplements before or after and have not yet. I will be soon taking No2 Black, Creatine, and pro-nos protein. Thanks.

Please Note: I took a day break and i messed up my rotation. I do (Chest, abs, leg) one day and (Shoulders, back, abs) the other. So this is 1 day combined. I will get back in rotation tomarrow.

Firstly good decision to start a log. Ull be amazed when you look back in like 6 months and see how much youve improved.

Secondly is your name from burton snowboards?

Thirdly, just because you miss a day doesnt mean you have to throw together a huge workout. I miss days all the times, crap happens and somtimes we just need to let our body rest. Just pick up where you left off at. Trying to put to much into one workout will eventually lead to overtraining and you DONT want that

You need more back lifts, rows and pulldowns. Also Deadlifts and Squats are very important, start light learn form. Maybe less on the delts. Anothers know a ton more than me, so hopefully they'll chime in with their opinions

[narcsarge]

You're young so pay attention to the responses you get from people here. We all have made mistakes so pay attention in order that you don't have to make our mistakes.

The above routine seems to have been thrown together.

You have Chest, delts, and back in one session. If you just started lifting, this is not a big deal but it can be better. Take a look at this routine:

Beginner Routine

Concentrate on big compound lifts:
Squats
Dead Lifts
Dips
Pullups
Bench
Barbell Rows

As far as supplements go, just stick with a good Whey Protein powder. Take one shake prior to working out (about an hour before) and one immediately after your workout! Get plenty of rest between workouts. You grow when you sleep so get at least 8 hours a night and give yourself at least a day between workouts.

Good luck!

Overall: Think I did good, felt really sore after the first couple lifts, was a chest day so thank god im done with that.

[Traps]

Did I read your post correctly? 21 sets for chest!!!! Are you on steroids and training for Mr. Olympia? No need for all those sets, your just wasting energy, killing your nervous system, and not getting any more benefit then if you just did 4 to 6 sets and occasionally 8 to 10. Not too mention the beating your shoulders are taking.

[Burton1]

I wasn't aware that their were long term effects? I mean it was my chest workout day and thats mostly my normal routine. Just wondering what should i limit it down to then?

Taking some advice from you traps. Im thinking about dropping the freeweight's for my bench days. So i would do

Flat bench, incline, and decline presS? Which would be 12 sets all together.
