don't worry about arms/abs. track your progress with leg and back development. squat and powerlift make up ~80% of what you need and the growth potential for legs and back are just huge compared to arms/chest/abs.

base your lifts off your deadlift: deadlift = X lbs, squat = .70 X lbs, bench = .55 X.

so if you deadlift 100 lbs, squat 70, and bench 55. your body mechanics will have their own unique balance, but this is a good baseline for most people, try to stay within it. keep making gains on the deadlift to bring up your other two big lifts and row at least what you are benching.

holy shit you're small.

1) don't worry about eating clean at this point. just throw down calories: whoppers, fries, iced cream. shove in the calories.

2) take creatine and l-glutamine

3) 5 day weightlifting split, 5 minutes cardio warmup only

M-chest

T-back

W-legs

TH-shoulders

F-arms

alternate calves and abs every day.

trust me dude, i dont eat clean for shit. i've pretty much been eating mcdonalds and wendys for 2 months straight now. literally, bfast (sometimes), lunch, dinner. i also eat beef goulash when i get sick of fast food. i eat whatever else i can get my hands on in addition to the stuff i mentioned.

hmm. my current routine is M - push, W - pull, F - legs

i might try your routine though, it seems to have a greater gain potential

it does. but it's more effective and you don't have to worry about overtraining for at least a month; just watch the weights, eat like a madman, and overload the creatine (your kidneys are fine, it takes years of overdosing [10+ creatine servings daily] before you'll have nephrological problems.

i disagree 100% with everything here.

not eating clean is a STUPID idea. you can't force feed the body to gain muscle. but you CAN gain a lot of fat! also, you can develop bad eating habits and fuck up your health. under OPTIMAL conditions, he will likely be able to gain only 1-5lbs of muscle PER MONTH.

body splits are also POINTLESS. if you weigh 150 at 5' 10", please tell me why the FUCK you would have an "arms" day? you are an idiot.

you should be doing compound lifts only. 3 days/week, with LOTS OF REST. try something like this:

Monday 1:

Squat 3x5

Bench Press 3x5

Deadlift 1x5

Chin Up 3xRM

Wednesday 1:

Squat 3x5

Press 3x5

Power Clean 5x3

Weighted Crunches 3x8

Friday 1:

Squat 3x5

Bench Press 3x5

Deadlift 1x5

Wide Grip Pull Ups 3xRM

Monday 2:

Squat 3x5

Press 3x5

Power Clean 5x3

Chin Up 3xRM

Wednesday 2:

Squat 3x5

Bench Press 3x5

Deadlift 1x5

Weighted Crunches 3x8

Friday 2:

Squat 3x5

Press 3x5

Power Clean 5x3

Wide Grip Pull Ups 3xRM

if you can't do power cleans, use pendlay rows at 3x5 instead.

he can eat better after he gains strength/weight

yeah, squats and bench on the same day with deads in b/w is great advice.

he can have an arm day. it's basically active rest at this point but it helps support his larger upperbody muscles

my plan for him is good for 2 mos where he should gain roughly 25 lbs.

i about piss myself every time i see a string bean hitting the preacher curl.

if you can go up on all your other lifts, your arms will get big. chin ups use bi's enough.

when it comes to weight training, what seperates the men from the boys is a BIG FUCKING BACK.

dude i've been lifting for over 15 yrs. when i started, freshman yr of hs, i was skinny (6'0'', 165lbs). i basically ate everything and did a 5 day split. i got results.

now, i lift 4 days a week, eat cleaner, but i'm not looking to get bigger, just maintain my physique. i also do maybe 75% freeweights and universal type equipment and cables for the rest, versus only using freeweights in hs and college.

what is your point? of course there are people who have gotten huge doing splits. does that mean it is better? i don't want to argue, i've been through this discussion too many times.

here's a good read, 3 experts discuss total body training (TBT) vs splits from t-nation.com (a good site):

if you're a pussy.

the idea behind weight training is to increase the amount of work your body can handle. 3 days of 3x5 squats is NOT excessive by any means.

i asked my legs, they are huge and they love 3x/wk. it's hard to keep myself from squatting on the weekends.
