Hi,
I am 20 and have been lifting for three years. I am a hard gainer trying to fight my string bean genetics, and I feel I have done pretty well so far. I am into the body building stuff and I want to gain size!!! PLEASE critique my routine so that I can maximize my gains (especially with my chest)
I eat right, usually 2000-3500cal a day, lots of protein healthy carbs and greens for vitamins. I take multis and fishoil, and protein powder 20 min after each lift. I do the compound lifts, Squats, bench ect. I have a five day spread that I switch up every six weeks. My spread usually looks like this:
The amount of reps I do is 8-12 but i just put down ten so you get the idea.
