Ways to improve my workout..

[Sportsfan486]

Hey guys,

Well, I'm 20 years old, 6'0, about 175 pounds. Right now I'm fairly thin and trying to pack on muscle. I've been working out as regularly as school allows me (two or three times a week, although I graduate soon and will be able to always go 3 times a week.)

I think my dietary plan is pretty solid right now and I have been seeing some results, at least as far as a little toning and added muscle to my biceps and chest.

Okay, new plan. I found this on a workout site and thought it sounded solid, planning on starting it up. What do you guys think?

Day 1
Bench press (8 reps x 3 sets)
Incline Dumbbell Press (8 reps x 3 sets)

Military Press
Lateral Raises

Dips (as many as possible)
Tricep Extensions


Day 2: Legs, abs

Squats (7 reps x 3 sets)
Leg Presses (8 reps x 3 sets)

Hamstring Curls (10 reps x 3 sets)
Stiff leg deadlifts (10 reps x 3 sets)

Calf Raises (12 reps x 3 sets)

Crunches (20 x 3 sets) (add weight if 20 is easy)
V-Sit ups (as many as possible x 3 sets)

Day 3: Back, Biceps, Forearms

Lat pull downs (8 reps x 3 sets)
Barbell Rows (8 reps x 3 sets)
Deadlifts (8 reps x 3 sets)
Dumbbell Shrugs (hold at the top for 2 seconds)

Barbell Curls (8 reps x 3 sets)
Dumbbell Curls (8 reps x 3 sets)

Wrist Curls (12 resp x 3 sets)

Many folks swear by such a routine, others like to train biceps & triceps together (& some also like to pair chest & back, while others like to train 'em separately).

Give it a try & see how you like it. If you don't like it, then change it. If you like it, then stick with it awhile & see what happens after about 4-6 weeks (or even 2-3 months).
