right so theres my routine is this the correct way to go about things if i want to gain muscle? can any experienced muscle gainers alter this to make it better for me and is gaining muscle all about the food and what protein powder is the best to use?


cheers
 
This routine is less than optimal for almost anyone, too much isolation and not enough compound movements, no squats or deadlifts, infrequent stimulation, etc.
