    haha. eto po routine ko:

    monday: chest/shoulders/triceps

    tues: rest/abs

    wed: back/bis

    thurs:rest/abs

    friday:legs/traps

    sat/sun:rest

    i keep my sets 12 each bodypart, 8-12 reps, 15 mins cardio after session

    yung kain ko nmn mostly tuna, eggs, chicken, veggies and 1 cup rice every main meal. tapos po snacks if magutom ng between meals like biscuits or papak ng PB.

    problem ko din po mabagal ako mag gain ng strength in 2 years max bench ko lng po is 110 lbs. :|

    ^ thats the problem.. you need to lift heavy.. or else walang mangyayari sayo.. ewan ko pero marami sa atin ang may maling perception.. napaka simple lang naman talaga mag pa build ng muscle you need to lift heavy dahil kung hindi eh d sana lahat ng bodybuilder lapis "pencil" ang binubuhat. you're nutrition is ok.. hindi ako naniniwala sa light lifting and 20 reps.

    wag ka muna magcardio. pag di gumalaw. ramihan mo kain mo. wag mo kalimutan pag bigatan mga buhat mo.

    tingin ko lang, baka mas mag ka korte ka sa split routine. baka lang, kase dati ganyan routine ko every other day pero parang mabagal progress, and kain ka ng madame at nutritious wag ung mga junk junk foods.

    and gaya nga ng sabi nila, every session try to add reps / weight para ma challenge ang muscles mo.

    Switch to a strength based training program then eat a lot.
  • HawkEye02HawkEye02 Posts: 454
    salamat po sa advices masters! :]

    any suggestions po for strength training? mukang yun po ang kulang ko. cause every time i workout nmn po i make sure when it is in 9th rep to 12th the weight i put on my bar is bringing me till failure. pag ng add po ako ng weight hindi na maganda yung form ko and i can only make it up to 5-6 reps range in good form. mas ok po ba yung low/heavy compared to 8-12 reps of lighter? salamat po ulit
  • Mighty_OakMighty_Oak Posts: 3,940
    Exactly that's what strength training is. Rep range is between 1-5 reps only.

    Try Bill Star's 5x5 or Rippetoe's Starting Strength.

    aside from lifting heavy, learn how to periodize your training para anjan yung intensity tas switch routine cycle every 8-12 weeks para hindi magiging used to it yung muscles mo.. shock them with lifting heavy and by cycling your routines. at gaya ng sabi ng mga masters, watch your nutrition and diet.. as of now, wag ka muna mag diet since mg bu'bulk up ka pa.. you need serious amount of calories para maka buhat ka ng mabibigat. something 2500+ calories /day

    Watch mo sa YT yung "So you think you can squat?" at yung mga instructional vids ni Mark Rippetoe on doing squats.

    Nalala ko tuloy yung sabi ni Rip' regarding leg press vs. squats. "Well you can do leg press but that's gay". hahaha!
