Help me with a Routine, and BB in general!!!

[small2big]

Ok, im 20 years old, been working out 2-3 years. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 17 so I got REALLY small! So, I started doing pushups, then signed up for a gym. I started out with a Full body type routine for a while and tried some splits. Now, I hit it HARD as I can and want to get really serious. Is this routine ANY good at all???


Its a 3x a week split hitting each muscle 1x a week, besides bis and tris, they get a "heavy" day and a "light" day. That why I do chest and bis vs chest and tris.

*****MONDAY=Chest and Bis
Bench 3x6-12 maybe a drop set of light weight for a bunch of reps
Incline 3x6-12
Flies 3x8-15
Dips 3x amap
BB curls 3x6-12
Hammers 3x6-12
Preachers 3x6-12


*****WEDNESDAY=Legs and Shoulders
Squat 3x6-12
Lunges 3x 15 steps
Leg Curls 3x6-12
Miltiary seated Press 4x6-12
Lat Raises 3x8-15
Cable Uprights 3x6-12

*****FRIDAY=Back and Tris
Deads 4x6-12
Rows 3x6-12
Uprights 3x6-12
LatpullDowns 3x6-12
Cable Pulldowns 3x6-12
Rope overhead pulls 3x6-12
Extensions 3x6-12

Three day split is fine...but i would break up the body parts a little different...try this

Monday - Chest, Shoulders, Biceps

Wednesday- Legs

Friday - Back, Triceps

It helps if you keep a written or typed log of your workouts. I'm a beginner also but if you do this you can see how you're progressing. You're able to keep a training journal in the Training section on here. Good luck!!

I think your training split looks good. Go with it and stick with it for 12 weeks and I bet you get good results. Rep range is a bit broad but you can adjust that next time. You've obviosly put some thought into the routine so go with it.
Larry is right, if you don't keep a log then start one.
And make sure your diet is tuned in and you monitor and adjust it to your needs as you gain muscle (I'm sure I don't need to tell you that).

But most of all get into it, enjoy yourself, and keep racking up achived goals

what exactly are your goals? what are you trying to achieve? do you want to look like a powerlifter or a body builder? do you want to be the biggest guy in the gym or just the most defined? what are you stats? height, weight, bf% etc... it would also help if you posted up a few pics so we can see which body parts might need more attention than others.

not sure what to say ...............
i mean come on,,, reps between 6-12..... its too much of muscle and fitness thing..
mate , i train what mike, dorian and ronnie said
train hard and smart not long
do one set warm up and then one or two set real hard and i mean REAL HARD and hopefully u do in perfect form.
people say they trian 1-1.5 hr per day, people who train with me cant train more then 25-30 min and we will fuck one or two small body parts a day..

intensity means:- no phone call, no yap yap, no monkey bussiness in gym, u go in do it hard and quick and then fuck off.. if u start hanging too long in gym then u will be one of the crowd not the best bodies
its my opinion not a rule,
but its more important to have a perfect mindset then workout shecdule
