my workout im thinkin could look a little like this with a few adjustments 2 or 3 days a week. Feel Free to add more things to this or adjust it in any way i just put some basic stuff up here to kinda get my goin, i have a pretty good workout right now but i think im focusing more too much on just one area at a time instead of a full body workout. so we'll try somethin along these lines if everyone thinks it'll help me gain muscle more effectively along with consuming more protein.

Mondays: front rear lunges, lying leg curls,weighted calf raises, bent over row,upright row, dumbbell bench press, Preacher curls,tricep extention, seated crunch(gripless)

Tuesday : rest

Wednesday : Rest

Thursday : Repeat Mondays Workout

Friday - Sunday : Rest.
 
How about:
A
squats
Bench
Bent Over Rows
Chinup variations
( anything else you want to add )

B
deadlifts
pull ups
military press
Up Right Row
( anything else you want to add )
3x a week

Monday, wed, fry alternating A and B workouts.
Because you've got too many isolational's in your current routine..
 
kool so should i be adding a few more workouts with other machines or whatnot to this workout or just stick to one workout at a time during one workout and then the next workout do a different machine, Ex. do x amount of sets on the bent over rows and then move on to a leg exercise or do a few different workouts for a certain muscle then move on??? cause i feel like if my muscles arent completely worn out by the time in finished with my workout then i didnt get a good enough workout.

What? Just follow the routine i gave you.
 
alrighty good deal, now im gettin somewheres...now i know people worry about how long it will take them to see results and i will ask the same question...its just gonna feel like i aint doing much at first cause ive been pretty much killin myself on one or two areas of my body and then catching the rest on other workouts so its gonna take some gettin used to...also should i be running/swimming with all these workouts each time or not??
 
If your trying to gain muscle, why would you do cardio ( that burns calories ) unless you just would like to eat more, or keep the heart healthy. Theres no harm to it, but you'd end having to eat more to make up for the calorie expenditure.
 
i know its kinda confusing to me also, but im trying to bulk up slightly but yet i wanna keep unwanted belly fat away case it seems the protein im takin is just addin a lil more fat to my stomache than i really care to have but yet i still have decent abs when i flex them. sorry guys idk much about all this stuff. from the way it sounds is people bulk up then after a fewmonthsthey "cut" which means what they start triming fat from thier muscles which involves lots of cardio workouts right??

If you don't want to gain flab, find that perfect balance in your diet to where your eating enough to gain muscle, but not enough to be used to store as fat. I think keeping cardio is a good idea, as long as you end up eating more to make up for the extra calories burned. Though the cardio sessions shouldn't be too long , if your going to do cardio do something along the lines of HIITT
 
so in other words i must be doin something wrong somewhere along the line because it most likely aint because of the protein im taking, maybe im eating unhealthy?? or not working out hard enough possibly
 
i get up every day at 4:30 am. go to work and maybe have some popcorn and pudding at break at 8. then at lunch time which is usually around 2 or so i'll have a medium portioned meal (ex. leftover spaghetti). then before i go to class at night ill have asmaller portioned meal at 5pm (ex. bowl of romen noodles). then after i get home at night around 10 pm or so i have another smaller portioned meal such as a grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly.... not the best diet in the world i know.
 
so im gonna start eating a more healthy diet by eating more times a day at smaller portioned meals, having more vegies and protein added to my diet killing out the crappy stuff such as popcorn, ice cream, pop, bread and all the crap that is unhealthy, then keep up on my full body workouts 3 times a week. am i missing anything here??? Any great food you guys can think of i could substitute for??
 
what im looking at right now is eliminating stuff like pizza, popcorn, icecream, pudding, nasty stuff like that and adding into my diet things such as tuna, eggs, oatmeal,turkey breasts, bananas,raspberries, and grapefruit. is there anything else that might be good for this process...because im so busy its hard to keep a great eating habbits but im gonna try like h$ll because i really wanna start seeing these results i want. is there an easy way of tracking my calorie intake or what i really need to be getting and not getting each day.any ways these are the things on my grocery list lol add anything you think might benifit me.
 
alrighty well i really appreciate all your help you guys have given me a lot of great info. im gonna bust my butt to get where i need and want to be...and i'll give it about a month or so then i'll keep you guys updated as to how well its helpin me...hopefully i can get some results started.
 
I had a quick question about my full body workouts, because im doin these three times a week should i try and split up my bicep and tricep workouts or would that totally defeat the purpose of a FBW?? and then do i try and target different areas of a muscle certain times a week EX. Calves one day and then thighs the next?
