Everyday? Yeah, i Know.

Ok. i kno that supposibly you arent suppost to work the same mucles the day after you work them, but thats what ive done, since june, and have actully seen more muscle growth and strengh increase then i expected. i work small mucsle groups every day-- calves abs tris bicepts, yeah im a little sore, i work them hard and i can feel the muscles doing the "deeeep burn" and stuff, but by the time i work out the next day, pretty much everyhting is fine. and im seeing fair results. is that wrong? i dont squat every day, cause my quads get sore anf need rest for hockey, but i usualy bench every day. some days ill do few reps with lots of weight (160 for me! at 148!) and sometimes ill do lots of reps at about 100 pounds, the next day.
so anyways, i guess what im asking, is how unhealthy is this? im almost 17 and have the energy to do it, so is it bad? will i get to the point when ill stop seeing results?

oh and another thing. kids at my school are always taking supplements and stuff, dad got me some whey, is it cool for me to do that?

thanks for everything and anything.

Honestly, your muscles need a break bro, they need to repair on your days off. After you work out, you tear your muscle, and during rest it repairs itself and gets stronger. If you don't give your muscles time to do this, you will be constantly tearing yourself up without giving it time to repair itself.

As for whey protein, it is great, especially post-workout, but don't rely on it as a constant source of protein.

Whey is fine but youd be better off getting your protien from a healthy diet.

Yeah it is a bad idea to train every day. If you can, then it could just mean that you didnt workout hard enough the day before.

What does you program look like. Please be specific with sets and reps.

As you are fairly young, you heal faster. Therefore, you don't see all the overworking that an older person would from doing the same routine. You are banking on youth to prevent injury. If your nutrition is poor, you will open yourself up to greater risk of injury as well. At this point, your exercise is within the limits of your nutrition and your age. That is why it hasn't hurt anything.

i dont squat every day, cause my quads get sore anf need rest for hockey, but i usualy bench every day. some days ill do few reps with lots of weight (160 for me! at 148!) and sometimes ill do lots of reps at about 100 pounds, the next day.

As I stated above, you will indeed see negative changes if you have nutritional issues and as you age. The best bet is to be properly informed on how to accomplish the exact goals you have. I train people to workout the same muscles EVERY DAY and do so without injury. Many people ridicule it out of complete ignorance of my methods, however, and deny thinking about day laborers who work their muscles every day on the job without injury. -So it can be done. Yet, it must be done under proper supervision or with adequate knowledge of HOW to do it. If your goal is bulk, training every day is not advisable.

oh and another thing. kids at my school are always taking supplements and stuff, dad got me some whey, is it cool for me to do that?

thanks for everything and anything.

Supplements and chemicals are never required. -WHOLE FOOD is. Supplements and shakes, etc. only try (and fail) at simulating real food. Eat right, eat enough, and that will be sufficient. Your goals should always dictate your program, and your program should dictate your nutrition. Sabotaging program or nutrition can be problematic.

An average of 1-1.5 lbs a week in body weight, and improvement on your lifts?

If not, then you're just playing around for the sake of being in the gym.

i work small mucsle groups every day-- calves abs tris bicepts, yeah im a little sore, i work them hard and i can feel the muscles doing the "deeeep burn" and stuff, but by the time i work out the next day, pretty much everyhting is fine.

This actually is a feasible approach for some.

However, it requires 1) knowledge on how to cycle training loads, 2) appropriate diet, 3) that this method be used as an adjunct to a "real" training program, and 4) at least several years worth of experience in terms of good strength training progression.

Going for the "deep burn" indicates you don't have a handle on the fundamentals. Burn is irrelevant...adding weight to the bar should be your only indicator of progress.

and im seeing fair results. is that wrong? i dont squat every day, cause my quads get sore anf need rest for hockey, but i usualy bench every day. some days ill do few reps with lots of weight (160 for me! at 148!) and sometimes ill do lots of reps at about 100 pounds, the next day.

Again, not necessarily a bad approach but far more than you need. You'd be a lot better served with something more basic to teach you the foundations of getting strong.

so anyways, i guess what im asking, is how unhealthy is this? im almost 17 and have the energy to do it, so is it bad? will i get to the point when ill stop seeing results?

It's not, yes it's bad, and I really doubt you're actually seeing the results you want even now.

oh and another thing. kids at my school are always taking supplements and stuff, dad got me some whey, is it cool for me to do that?

Whey's just another protein source. It's not even a supplement as far as I'm concerned.

First of all,
WOW thanks for everything. and thanks x2 if u take the time to read my life story, haha -->


a couple things that i should say is that i am quite certin that i am seeing results, and so are other ppl (.... like my mom and my girlfriend....haha, just messin around) but and yes, i have actully been putting on weight (since 157 in june to 161-163), even tho it looks like im getting leaner? all that despite my terrible diet. i kno how important good nurtion is but i neglect to eat right anyway. it really wouldnt be hard for me to eat a little better tho, but doing the all out transition is impossible. my parents couldn't live without double stuff oreos, and they buy the food, and they dont want to spend extra money on my health food. pathetic huh... (it can get expensive tho). I dont like alot of fruit, i like melons and bananas and pears, strawberries are alrite, and peaches are edible. but i really dont like anything else. as far as vegtables- i eat salad (its really more like cheese and dressing with some lettuce, and yeah, i kno, i dont eat healthy, so insted of just saying U DONT EAT HEALTHY please give me some options), potatoes, carrots. thats it. i do drink healthy- lots of water, and every once and a while after/during a game gatorade RAIN (damn that stuff is so good), VERY rarely ill have a soda, but if i do i cant sleep, cause my body isnt used to caffine.

What i usually eat-
breakfast- nutrigrain bar (not very healthy),
lunch- 2 peanut butter and jeally sandwichs (with the healthy peanut butter [no hydroginated oils or whatever]) chedder jack cheese its, and 3 oreos, with a water or gatorade. ( i could easily bring fruit insted of chips)
dinner- varies but usually some sort of Chicken/Beef/Pork, with a salad, and potatoes. or pizza. RARELY fast food, and i mean RARELY. I usually eat lots of whatever meat were having.
Later on after dinner about 2.5 hours before i go to bed and about 1.5 hours after my workout i have a whey protein drink.

some1 said that if i can do that every day then i didnt work hard enough, but to me that doesnt make sense- i can bench until i cant lift the bar (literly, my arms will just quit, like its impossible for me), and the next day have minimal soreness, full range of movement and ready to do it again. and i kno that im doing it right cause i had my trainer watch me (he actully said i was going down too far- and ive been correcting it on the smith machine this week and last). i dont kno what to think there.

the deep burn thing was more of a joke, but u have to sorta kno what i mean. like the feeling when the muscle is actully working, i dont kno. like when ur doing pull ups and ur on the last rep of the last set and u really feel that.... presence in your arms and upper back? i really dont kno how to say it, but alot of ppl say things like, do u feel that, and yeah i do. are u saything that im not suppost to feel that?

I start off with about 5 min warm up jogging, strech for bout 15 mins, then do eliptical for like 3 mins, just cause it really loosens me up.

Lower Body
1. Leg Press-3x10 at 280
or
1. Squat-3x10 at 80 (im just learning and working more on form then anything.
2. Some calf push thing-3x15 at 250
3. (on leg press days) i dont kno waht its called, its a machine that u sit and raise ur feet up parrell to the floor. 3x10 at 110

Upper Body
-Bench Press (i change weights and incline/decline all around, from just the bar up to 160) on easier days, ill do 15 push ups inbetween sets (sometimes)
-Pull Ups 3x6 (these are hard for me)
-Tricept extentions with the V cabled thing (see DIPs)X x12 with the resistance set at 5 (what ever that means)
-Dips in between sets of that^ 3x8 (dips are hard for me, not because i have weak tris, but because it hurts my wirst and hands, so everyonce and a while i wont do them/as many of them)
-Seated cable rows 3x10 with resistance at 7 (pull ur shoulder blades together)
-EZ bar bicept curls 3x10 and im not sure what the bar weights, 20 i think, but i add 30. and then i do one set with my palms facing down (reverse grip?) and i take of 10 lbs.
-Between those sets i do forearm curls (standing with bar beind back, siting resting on knees/thighs, and reverse grip)--> one set of each with 50 (good for hockey golf and racquetball)
-then this machine that works your back, u sit and then recline back, with a seatbelt thing on. i do like 110 on that.
-random ab stuff
strech

All that everyday?!?! well, pretty much. i dont do **** on sundays or fridays, but mon tues wed thurs- sat, thats pretty much what i do.

i dont think that BULK is a good word for what i wish to accomplish. but i guess it is, when i really think about it
i want to appear like im in good shape, with deifnaltly noticable muscle definition, but being huge isnt nesscary. im pretty small so i guess i do want to bulk. idk.

i have the time to do it, and i love going up to the gym, so i just do.
THANKS A TON if you read all that ****. i hope that u will all continue to be helpful. sorry for all the typos and bad spelling. thanks again.
