Hi everyone I am new here and have been lurking for a while but I now have set some new goals and have some questions.I am 5’9 maybe 5’10 and I weigh 178 lbs at maybe 15 % bf.At one point I was 155 lbs but I gained some muscle over 3 months sadly not all of it was muscle.
Training wise I tend to focus on total body training with maybe a saturday of isolation work for biceps other and body parts.Nutrition wise I can eat very clean when I want to but there are times I cheat.
Now my goals are to gain some muscle but look lean. I would like to be around 180 lbs of lean mass with about 7-8 % bf. I have great admiration towards that bodies of old body builders like Steve Reeves and would like to achieve something similar.
I am about to have a 4 and a half month vacation from school and was hoping I could reach my goals by then. Is it possible?
I say it is achievable, but it’s all on you. You have to have the drive, willpower, determination, and mindset to do so, among other factors. Train smart, diet smart, and you will see results.
One question: How did you score 4 1/2 months off from school? Nice work.

I graduated highschool early and have earned a good amount of college credit so I am going to take a semester off which is around 4 1/2 months.
How long have you been working out? What do you dead and squat and bench?
If you have been working out less then a year then just do the beginners blast off program and don’t worry about anything but eating clean and getting stronger. I believe that will move you toward your goal faster then microanalyzing things at this point. On the other hand if you can double body weight squat or dead, or 1.5 body weight bench, then you know enough to put the info available to you here to work. Nobody wants to be a beginner or intermediate but most folks are. Don’t let ego get in the way of progressing.
So I have been reading through some of the programs and have decided to follow Chad’s HFT guidelines and build my own routine. Do these set/rep scheme look good?
