I have been working out for a while (just chinups, dips and pushups) but i just recently starting getting into weights. So my question is if my routine is healthy? Or if i am over training? Is there a better routine for these excersices? I usually train certain muscle groups one day, and then i train other muscles groups the next day and then i alternate ever day except for sunday which is my ab day. For example this is my routine.

Monday
1. Bench Press-3 sets
2. Shoulder Press- 4 sets
3.Chest Fly’s- 3 sets
4. Explosive Pushups-3 sets

1. Bicep Curl-3 sets
2. One arm dumbbell row-3 sets
3. Squats-4 sets
4. Forearm wrist curl- 3 sets

Wednesday
1. Bench Press-3 sets
2. Shoulder Press- 4 sets
3.Chest Fly’s- 3 sets
4. Explosive Pushups-3 sets

Thursday
1. Bicep Curl-3 sets
2. One arm dumbbell row-3 sets
3. Squats-4 sets
4. Forearm wrist curl- 3 sets

Friday
1. Bench Press-3 sets
2. Shoulder Press- 4 sets
3.Chest Fly’s- 3 sets
4. Explosive Pushups-3 sets

Saturday

Since you're just starting off I'd say it's alright. Not great. You have tricep work or lower back. add some wide-grip pullups in there.

what're your goals?

at your age your recovery times should be relatively short but I would still cut back a bit and train maybe 4 days a week with a good split routine training each muscle group separately.


remember that rest time is where you are building muscle

Thanks for the replies guys! My goals are to get lean muscle mass and strength. Also, i would do pull ups but i don't have the equipment or a place where i can do them anymore. I thought the one arm seated dumbbell row was sufficient for the back. As for triceps, don't i work them when i bench press? Any suggestions?

And regarding the frequency of my workout,i will cut down to four days a week. So hows this:
Monday
1. Bench Press-3 sets
2. Shoulder Press- 4 sets
3.Chest Fly’s- 3 sets

Wednesday
1. Bicep Curl-3 sets
2. One arm dumbbell row-3 sets
3. Squats-4 sets
4. Forearm wrist curl- 3 sets

Friday
1. Bench Press-3 sets
2. Shoulder Press- 4 sets
3. Explosive Pushups-3 sets

Sunday
1. Bicep Curl-3 sets
2. One arm dumbbell row-3 sets
3. Squats-4 sets
4. Forearm wrist curl- 3 sets

The days when i am not doing anything i will do abs. Thanks for your helps guys!

Triceps - close grip bench press (elbows in), skull crushers (elbows in), diamond pushups, weighted dips.

Back - bent over row, t-bar row (these can both be done with your olympic bar and weight), you need to get WG pull-ups in there if you really wanna develop your back though.


up your calorie intake to 4500-5000k calories a day and REST REST REST. watch yourself grow like never before.

So a lot of chicken, beef and milk right?

And Im somewhat afraid of doing intense back workouts because i heard they stunt your growth. Is this true?

No it's not true. You need to eat all your veggies, take a multi vitamin. eat protein, AND carbs. you need some fat too. just eat everything in site.

you might find it beneficial to get a weightgainer such as CytoGainer. It really helped me a lot. taking it 2x a day.

Ok so do you think that my workout ^ is intense enough for a frequency of 2 times a week per muscle group.
