Well if you were 300lbs. at 17%BF the advice would be alot different than if you’re 200lbs. at 8%BF wouldn’t it? I don’t see how you can expect someone to “help you” if you’re not giving us any more information.
Long posts are good, if they answer questions like what your age, height, weight, BF%, years training, how the current workout is working/not working, what you’ve done in the past, etc. etc.
Be specific.
I’m not sure what to say to a guy who’s been training through his prime muscle building years having started in 1995, 32 years old now and who is also “still new to all this and looking to get huge”.
No offense friend, but you waited a helluva long time to decide you didn’t know how to train.
Hey, Just want to let you know there is a number of us that workout with SuperBeast. He is a great workout partner and very knowledgeable. Always willing to help you out and push you to the max when you need it. Sometimes when he thinks you need it.
SuperBeast will have to give you the specifics he needs answered, but just wanted you to know he is incredibly knowledgeable and knows his sh!t!!

Your last paragraph confused me. This seems to imply you do everything on the same day? Is this correct? If not, please detail your weekly split.
Also, is your immediate goal to drop fat or get bigger?
Lastly, what’s your diet like?
sorry about that.one body part per day,ex.abbs.i do every other day.today was back and abbs.
my diet…prework out is bcaa.postwork out is protein shake banna and a hlf cup of oatmealand sports drink.first meal befor work is 8oz chicken and rice.two hours later turky sandwich whole wheat bread& mustard and shake40gm.hour befor lunch same sandwich and a apple.
hour later is a another turky sandwich,shake 40gm and a half cup of unsalted peanuts.hour befor bed 6 oz chicken breast 20gm shake.i know my diet sucks.but life has me busy.the weekends i eat every two hours chicken or turky with veg or fruit.one shake mid-day 40gm and a 20gm shake 45min befor bed.im trying to get lean.Im thinking that if i can get my b.f low.i can stuff my body with diffrent types of portein’s to maybe start a growing spurt.

Are you saying you use to bench 405 for reps, but now you bench 300? What happened?
hey superbeast…
i don’t think you’ll find a lot of the answers you want posting here - there are knowledgeable people around, but most of them probably don’t have your experience.
I would suggest reading some of the articles, maybe ask some questions in the authors locker room. Then you can compare what you already know vs. what you are reading… CT is my fav, but all the authors here are awesome.
The tough part, I think, for you will be for you to look at what you are doing, and to realize that you will have to change something…
You’ve already stated one of your own problems, your diet sucks.
So fix it then, and get bigger.
super dad.
the 405 bench.well i do pre-exhaust on chest now and i dont do singles.my 4r.m is 300.i also do a 3 count up and down.some times i pause on the bottom and try to throw the weight off me.
Mithious.
thanks for telling me where to go.i will look into that.my training is fine ive got all sorts of diffrent things i can do to get stronger.
i know diet will help me get bigger.its like this, rember when you had to load creatine with water or juice?what like a gallon an half a day just to get loaded.you look at that water and almost get sick,knowing you have to drink it to help make you bigger.
thats my diet.i see how much food i have to eat in my lunch box and by mid day i dont care if im dyeing i dont want to eat any more.
I have posted pics on my profile.but for some reason cant seem to post them on my thread.
first pic:One arm row 145- 2 sets of 15
second pic:close grip low row 300 3 sets of 8.
enjoy
This is just a photo of my back routine.
