Some fresh meat for you all

[buildme2pls]

Hi everyone.Ill introduce my self,my name is Tony. Im a 39 year old male.
I have been in the military for a little over 20 years.I guess some of you are asking why am i here. Well ill tell you. One I just became single again.I also decided that it was time for me to do something for me. So im here . .
I measure out at a small 190 lps and im 5 foot 8 inches tall.Yes gravity has take over in some places.I also have to tell you I broke my back 5 years ago and its taken me this long to heal up.

I bought a bow-flex for my home as there isnt a really good gym {even on the base} around here.I am finding it hard to work out on my own by im getting by.And this eating 6 meals a day is hard haha.

The program im on is as follows.

I drink 4 liters of water a day {thats 1 gallon for you folks accross the border no pun intended}
I went to my local GNC store and this is what they have me on.

1.Liquid Megamino 1oz before each meal and 1oz before and after each work out

2.Mega Men multi viatimin {it has 27 different vitamins in it } I take it twice daily

3.Rev XP I take 4 pills a day 2 in the morning and two in the afternoon.

4.ANAVOL Extreme muscle cell volumizer three pills in the morning and three pills befor lunch or my work out .

5.Power pump 4 pill befor breakfast and 4 a half hour before lunch.

6. Instone forza-t 6-oxo 3 pills in the morning and 3 at night i take these for six weeks on ans six weeks off.

7.Whey ISO Burst one to two servings a day.

8.ISO XP Extreme whey prodine isolate I take on dose after each work out.

Ok now that thats out of the way other than sticking a needle in my ass am I doing the right or wrong thing.?

My work out schedule is as such.

Day one i work on my arms sholders and chest.
Day two i work on my upper and lower back and abbs.
Day three i work on my lower body legs and such.
Day 4 is back to the day one schedule

Ok now that evey one knows what im up to can I please get some advise good or bad on weather or not im moving in the right direction or not.

I know I have said a lot tonight but give me a chance im a newbe haha.
I hope to hear from you all soon .cheers

First welcome to the forum. Read as many of the stickies and post as you can, there is a "search" function, this is also very very helpful.

Now your other statements. You seem to be throwing a lot of pills down, and the Anavol and Power Pump is pretty much the same thing as in what it is doing to/for your body. Read lots and lots of stuff in the diet section, and your diet will dictate your size, whether you gain or lose, along with your workout routine. More lifting for strength/bulking, more cardio for cutting fat. You may want to keep track of your calories, protein, carbs, fat daily for a couple of weeks. When you write it down and look at it, you will see where things can be adjusted.

The Forza-T is pretty good stuff, just expensive. You could probably go the route of 6-oxo alone on your next cycle. At 39, this stuff works pretty well (I'm also 39, been lifting 12 years).

As far as your workout, you will need some time off in there. Muscles don't grow in the gym, they grow when you are resting... no rest, no grow ..which can lead to some overtraining if you are not careful. Maybe after your fourth day, take two days off and go back at it again. Or do some cardio on one of those days.

Overall, I think you are moving in the right direction. You will learn alot on this forum, such as different supplements, more advanced routines, improved form. The key is finding what works for your body. My body responds better to some specific exercises, and you'll know that feeling when it hits you. Same goes for supplements, there are many reviews of supplements on this forum, some works great for me, others are just like throwing money to the wind.. but I'm always trying new things and making notes as to how I respond to it. Good luck on lifting, and don't be shy to ask a question!

No days off is very bad, unless the weights you are using are very light. When (or if) you are doing good heavy weight, switch to at most 2 days working out, a day off, 2 days working out, a day off. There are many listed decent workout plans and your doesn't allow rest. You don't build muscle in the gym, you build it resting. A better split would allow a day of rest in between every day of working out with weekends off. Do cardio on days off if you like, don't go crazy with that either and make it like a day of workout.
