Newbie starting back up, what do you think
Well basically I have been out of the gym for awhile. I am looking to do a Tricep chest day and possibly a Biceps day. I was wonderinf what you guys thought. My total goal is to ass 1/2 inch to my arms in 8 months. Also adding a little more to chest.
Mon Chest press vertical ( 3x8 ) Dips( 3x8 ) Tricep pull downs( 3x8 ) Thursday Biceps curls( 3x4-8 )... I fully squeeze at the top of my bicep. Chin ups( 3-4X failure ) - I will be supplementing Shrugs into my routine and calf raises. Also, as I et back into shape, i will be adding a weight vest to my dips and chin ups. Basically that's my workout. When I cycle workouts on my biceps, I will putting in Bows, and also supplementing pull downs with reverse curls. So what do you guys think, far as the upper body is concerned. Do note that my biceps are a hard gainer. I develop chest and triceps real well( when I use to be in the gym ), so that is why on biceps I only elect to do 6 sets. Far as my diet, I consume about 2500 calories a day.It's all healthy calories, and my protein intake is high for just 2500 calories.On my trainig days i consume about 2750 calories. I am only 5ft. 8 and weigh 155. I use to weigh 170, but again I have been off supplements and creatine for awhile, along with the gym. So any advice as to what to do, of if this workout for my Chest, Tri's and Bi's are good!!!!!

If you gain from it n don't need to add more exercises then its good. Dont neglect your legs and if u can workout your back, do it. It'll add overall mass to your body n your other muscles will gain from the exercises that you do with them.
For chest, do some type of bench. Get them shoulders working and arms. I think you really need to follow an already establish n proven routine. You centering n focusing on certain muscle groups, most if not all of your already small choice of exercises are basically isolation. Google up Max-ot bro. Welcome to BB4U!!!!!!!!!

I have read your guys post. My main question is, say if I do deadlifts will this help my Traps and will this target any arms? I see what you guys are saying about the compund movements. My only problem is that I really don't have that much time. If I do compounds it seems like my arms might be neglected, or am I just to use to Isolations. So for example, if I did:
Chest press Dips Deadlifts Reverse Grip curls/ or chin-ups Would this really give me any results in my arms. I mean no bicep curls, no pushdowns, no extensions. I am sorta confused. As I said I am 5ft. 8 and 155. My goals are not crazy, I am not one of those young guys that thinks he can add xx lbs or inches in 1 month. My goals, to get to 165( lean ), and add 1/2 to arms. In my diet I eat okay. I eat oatmeal, eggs, and wheat toast for Breakfast. Lunch I have peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, 2 servings of chips( 2 because in one serving is 15% total fat ), and yogurt. Dinner will be typically, 2 fillet of fish( salmon, with ketchup ), 2-3 potatoes, and a whole can of peas/green beans. Later at night, I will snack on some wheat crackers or pretzels( I can eat 1/3 of them at nite ). Also, ounce in awhile I will cook up some quick angel hair in the middle of the night. I do not do any supplements. I will drink Boost protein and I drink tons of vitamin water. I currenlty did one of those calorie counts where you do your projected intake to gain Mass. It wear you subtract weight and x by 19 to get the total calories you would need. For my height and weight, it said 2400 calories. This is from a Bodybuilding site, I forget where, they had this way of calculating things. I know that I exceed that because of what I eat, but I like to eat clean. My whole crackers are all natural, along with my pretzels, chips, and my pasta has no crap in it like MSG. I don't eat fastfood, and I haven't ate at a resturant in ove 2 years...sometimes I forget what they look like,....yeah my date gets ticked from time to time....lol. I chose Boost protein because it is not synthetic.It seems the closest I can get to all natural far as protein. I use to do cell tech, but when I quit lifting, I shrunk 15 lbs!!! So, I really want my own strength this time, and my own muscle. Far as my build, I just want a volleyball players build. Srry, I respect bodybuilders and my gosh powerlifters, it's just I know with the time I have with just really getting into college, internships, and G/F( I only see her 4 hours a week ), I have little time to devote to become a bodybuilder or that sort, and don't expect too either. I justt want a descent body, with descent workouts, that I can be proud of. So, basically, can you give any advice with what I got going. I mean if doing deads, chest press, dips( weighted ), and another good exercise will get me there, I will be quick to say, " Yes Please". I am just really use to isolations. More info, I will give you an example of my old routines, when I played sports, couple years back.... Day 1 Bench press Flys Push downs extensions French curls Day 2 Leg extensions Back extensions( hamstrings ) Squats calve raises Day 3 Bicep curls Preachers concentrations Day 4 Shoulder shrugs Side raises( DB ) Front raises( DB ) - Also band movements for flexability, pitching was destroying me ) Well, there you have it. Hopefully I have given enough info, besides my blood...joke....So, you guys can help me out. I have no idea why, but for only being able to lift 1-2 days a week, I am Obcessed!!!!! Also, note: I have had shoulder dislocations/dislocated bicep tendon, and abdominal surgery, tore my abbs. So I need to do shoulder and abb friendly workouts. My abs are only 70% of what they were. Thx
