my mistake just found this

http://www.nzmuscle.co.nz/product_info. ... cts_id=115

its not the same as the american version though

why dont you try a basic test booster, if your willing to take methyl1d you may as well just take the real thing.

Not sure just thought the Mythly 1-D might have been abit more of both hormone boost and testo Boost in 1 rather then taking one product for 1 thing.

But yeh its not banned yet. Have you tried it though ?

Yeah i like doing a full workout On shoulders chest arms back abs etc. every day i just come out of the gym feeling great and pumped. So i was just going to put in the leg workouts within the upper body.

Oh my.... If you insist on doing full body workouts, you must keep it to a max of 3x week otherwise you will totally burn yourself out. Another suggestion would be to do a do a 2-way split e.g. Mo-legs/lowerbody, Thue-upper body,Wed-rest and repeat on Thurs and Fri and rest again on Sat, Sun.

Anyway, if you are able to do a full body workout 5 times a week, then your intensity is to low and you won't grow on it.

You have received good advice from people that wants to help you improve your training, so why not give it a try, its worth a shot believe me :grin:

Ok so lets say Mon-Tues-wens Upper body thurs-Fri Legs/Lower Body Sat sun rest is that a good one ?

Don't think so. The norm is to alternate your muscle groups e.g. one day chest, then legs then back etc. In you case it would be best to alternate between upper and lower body so that the muscles that you have worked can rest and grow the next day when you train something different. Remember you grow when you are resting/not training, therefore you must make provision for enough time to rest and recupurate so that you can make each workout count (meaning to work the muscles with enough intensity to force them to grow bigger and stronger). The training splits that were suggested in this thread is tried and tested. I strongly suggest you go with one of them.

Thanx

No problem bro, we all started out knowing bugger all in the beginning. If you can afford it get yourself a good personal trainer to help you through the initial stages. It's not critical to get one but it will make things alot easier in the beginning.

NB! Use your best friend "Google" and hang around on the body building boards and read, read,read.............

If you do that, you will get all the answers that you want.

You don't have to be a gym wiz to get results in the gym, just read, learn, use your common sense and listen to good advice when it comes your way.

Best of luck with reaching your goals.

haha aight sounds good ill give it a good. Whats the sets and reps you would do ?

[rotangs on]

You are just starting out, Just get some WPI/WPC protein powder and a creatine like kre alk. Nothing you take is going to make a big difference in terms of brands or quality.

[Luigi]

sets and reps : depends what your goals are, if you tell then we can help.

you wanna get big hit the big lifts

military press, benchpress, deadlifts, bb rows, squats,weighted dips/chins - do these at heavy enough weight so your getting 6-8 reps but really struggling

smaller exercises keep reps 10-12ish

keep isolation . e.g. bicep curls to a minimum.

just have a good read on the net put 3-4 good exercises together for each training day,

i.e

back : deadlifts - bb rows - weighted chins widegrip/underhand - lat pulldowns wide/underhand..... put max effort into a workout like that you shouldnt be able to do another exercise.

Dayum half of those names i don't even know what they are. But yeh those reps and sets seem to be the same as what i am using atm well similar i try to keep its 12 on each set. even if its heavy and gets heavier i struggle but it feels better.

Have a look our Useful Links page (from the top menu, go to Resources > Useful Links) and you'll find lots of sites explaining what these exercises are and how to do them.
