[johnowylde]

hey folks - forgive me if this is something people always discuss (im new to this site \:D/ )

so im 6 ft 5 in height, pretty damn lanksta if you ask me. BUT i have always had some definition and meat on me due to dance and just always being active.

i just joined a gym and would love some advice espesh in the chest growing area and traps, seem to have major issues with my lower chest growing over the years.

p.s im 19. :wink:

thanks everyone!

Whats your diet like?? And training program?

[johnowylde]

hey

my diet is kinda non existant. i eat plenty and have protein shakes to make up for any lack in intake.

as for my programme, i target all areas of my body with 3x rest days a week.

I aim for about 6 reps in a set so im doing heavy weight low reps for mass building and also with some excercises i jam 2 or 3 negatives reps at the end to top it off.

cheers

Gonna have to be more specific than that sorry buddy. 'eating plenty' probably means something much different to you than it does to many people on this board haha, try and write down even roughly what you'd eat in a day. Bets are it's not enough for someone your height trying to put on size.

Same with your training, what are the actual exercises you do? How many sets per exercise? etc. Full body stuff is good for starting out, but doing something like;

Squat 3x6

Bench 3x6

Chin ups 3x6

Deadlifts 3x6

OH press 3x6

Bent over row 3x6

Is vastly different to;

Leg extensions 3x6

Peck dec 3x6

Lat pull downs 3x6

Hammy curls 3x6

Hammer strength shoulder press 3x6

Curls 3x6

Get my point? Be specific in what you're eating/doing and then we'll be more able to suggest things you could change for improvement etc.

^ This. Particularly as it sounds like you're burning a lot of calories through dance and an active lifestyle. You're also looking pretty lean, which is normally cool, but in this case it could be another indication you're not eating enough to grow!

^^^ fully agrees with said posts, being 6'5 myself i couldnt fathom being 85kilos at that height mate. youd be wanting to aim for 100kgs.

whole foods bet protein shakes everyday of the week, they are by no means a meal replacement. if anything you should be takin them pre/post training and 1 at night. thats just my 2c

Agree big fella ....

I'm 6'3 and have competed at 85kg :nod: L .........ong time ago now! Whole foods are where its at. Back then a very regular bulking lunch was a whole chook and a loaf of bread.

Eat more grow more :nod:

sup gents

in diet i have bwt 3 mutant mass shakes a day (not meal replacements) just in between. 3 solid meals if possible but due to my job my hours are all over the shit and trying to get a solid breaky is hard. for dinner i eat standard meals? like last night lamb, potatoes, corn, peas broc. and i eat a fair amount of chicken tbh.

sorry i cant specify more because theres really no specifics, its just your every day meals really.

in terms of excercises

mon - bi's tri's - hammers 3x6,concentrated 3x6, preachers 4x6 with a few extra negative reps at the end of each, palm in pull ups if i got the energy

tris - skull crushers 4x6-8, rope extensions, 3x6-8, straight bar on the pulley? 3x6

tues - legs - squats, leg extensions, calf raises - all round the same 3-4 sets x 8-10 reps

weds - chest and shoulders - flat bench, cable flys, decline and incline bench, may be silly but after every set i drop n do push ups immediately.

all range 3-4 sets to 6 reps, military press, 1 that i dont know the name of! another one i dont know the name of. same sets n reps as chest

thurs - rest

fri- back and abs - tha usual

sat - sun -rest

Thanks for all your comments and advice, appreciate it. and just to note, i think ive put on weight since being 85kgs, will check n update. also to note, last time i checked my body fat was rediculously low.

love.peace and chicken grease 8)
