Awesome! I will stayed tuned! I feel my main weakness is my squat, because i injured my ankle a while back and had to take 2 months off because the weight hurt it during recovery :( . My routine is a 3 on 1 off current for bb and strength, but i mainly want strength and mass. And be as strong as i can get!

Destroyed my triceps today with skull crushers, push downs and weighted dips. Did flat DB bench and regular bb bench, some biceps and threw some pushups at the end to burn out.

B3ast,next time put the camera on something and get him to spot you. Lol You also need to lock down your whole body when lifting. The rest of the body is rock solid and only the arms are moving. Your feet are flopping around and giving you no support at all. The power starts at the floor and flows up from there. Also, I'm liking the front squats. Those require serious upper body strength to perform.

I'm subbed. It's great to see a younger guy taking training and dieting seriously. If you keep it up, you'll be a complete monster by the time you're 21. I regret not starting when you did. You'll be a step above everyone else.

AZ gave ya a solid bench tip. You need to be rigid. Someone should be able to try to push your knees and they shouldn't budge.

With your routine my 2 cents is to not stick within a certain rep range like you have defined for every single exercise. The main compound lifts I generally keep lower reps, but your other exercises should vary for the most part. Please ask all the questions you want regarding your routine and/or diet, there's always an answer.

Good luck, and have fun; you'll learn a lot.

Ok so watching your vid I noticed how well you were breathing.
That being said...
Get your legs underneath you more as much as you can whilst keeping your heels on the ground. Arch is also something to work on.

Ok those elbows need to come in... That right there and your shoulders are gonna hate you later down the road. Elbows in tight... Flex those lats and control the bar.

Those are strong numbers for how short of a time you've been lifting.

But with you just starting have you considered Wendlers 5/3/1? With the periodization Bible for assistance it should give you all the gains you need, in strength and size.

I considered it but never found the template for it. I asked AB to make me a routine, will be posting it once he has time to assemble it! So, pull my legs as far under me as possible and (i have always had trouble with this) pull my elbows in, and flex lats! Will video tape next benching day! :)

Currently, i am bulking untill janurary 6th. I will then, begin my cut untill summer and maintain my body (not my lifts they are going ^^^ UP) and bulk around mid august till jan 6th again. How many calories below maintenance do you suggest for a cut to perserve as much strength and mass as possible? Anyone may answer!

Look at my log if you wanna see how the periodization bible works. Wendler also has a very simplified book that explains it. (Jim this is the second time ive followed you up with this lol deja vu? it really is a great program & template) Wendlers website also discusses it along with t-nation.com. I'm sure whatever AB comes up with for ya will work just as well too, he's a big dude.

What helped me gettin the arch is putting my feet up on the bench and arching and driving the weight onto my upper back, then set my legs down. That taught me how the arch should be and now I can get into it each time.

And I don't cut, I eat lol so I'm a horrible person to answer your last question

Great method... I plant feet and push my shoulders to my butt... Your back should feel like a big cramp... I also found that a foam roller work in creating a better arch over time.

Awesome! I will love that :) My weakest points are squats and deadlifts. Mainly because (on deadlifts) my skin tears up in my hands instead of callusing and it has less natural cushioning for the weight.

I prefer back squats as my main compound movement and front squats as assistance for my quads. Then hit up some good mornings or stiff leg deadlifts for hamstrings. Like I said, vary it all up bud.

Yes, i should do good mornings, i have not done them in a while. I will do back squats first, and then front squats. What rep range do you suggest for front and back?

I like low reps for back squat (think ME working to 3-5RM) and then higher for assistance (think 8-12 range). But the key is to not get too caught up in reps, if you put weight on there and are going for 8 and only get 6 before failing its not a big deal.

Back squats go heavy...I always max out... After some warms I just up plates at a time. Do a while bunch of heavy singles or trips.
Front squats go deep 5-8

They work both hamstrings and back, i see your point. I could always do hamstring curls

I like low rep for back squats and around 6-8 for front squats

I would be careful on going too low and heavy with the weights until you get your form dialed in. I just like to see the form perfect first and then progress from there. It will benfit more in the end strength wise and injury prevention.

My form actually is pretty good, i took my time and restarted on squats so i knew i was going below parallel. I started with parallel back squats. Then, i went with below parallel and now here i am. If i get a chance, i will post a squat form check soon!

What i am doing for legs today, and will throw in 3 sets of front squats.

Squats: 10/8/5/3/3/1/1/1

Deep squats: 5/5/5

Leg ext and leg curls superset: 8/8/8

Calf press: 15/15/15

Hip and thigh abductor superset: 15/15/15
No need to go heavy for this... It's to strengthen your hip so you don't have issues

That is almost exactly my split save for I bring delts in on thursday and back on friday to give me more recovery time from back workout. I also do my biceps on leg day before as a warm up and that way I sort of hit biceps twice a week(leg day/back day). It is a lagging body part for me so it needs the extra work.

I read an article on here not too long ago, said that biceps are actually one of the most OVERTRAINED body parts, and alot of guys train them to the point that they can't grow. I hit bi's maybe 3 times a month. I feel like between back workouts and a few others, I get plenty of work. The few bi sessions are do are intense though.

Yeah, it made sense after I thought about it. I don't know about you, but I incorporate a lot of rowing and pulling motions into my back day. Even with perfect form there is bi activity, and those last reps we pound out almost always shift some of the weight into the accessory muscles as the main muscles fatigue. So we kill our bis on back day. I know spotting guys on bench, pulling dumbells up and onto my legs, etc. all work my bis as well. They surely aren't neglected. I assume they are unlike calves and the fore arm with their short recovery times, and require more rest. However we use them nearly daily. Now the argument is made that we walk on our legs everyday, but they still grow. But I don't think the movements equate to each other. This could easily develop into a pretty length topic. See if you can find the article using search. It was decently interesting, but you have to take these with a grain of salt and check out the sources as well.

Eitherway, I feel like a lot of us really want bigger bi's because we expect to look like Cutler or Greene or Coleman, lol.

Another interesting article I read a year or two ago on here mentioned the increase in tri size benefited the appearance of the bicepts more than actually attempting to grow the bis. A well rounded arm will look better than an arm with just big bi's basically. Just some food for thought.

Yes! Triceps need to be worked hard and be bigger than your biceps (since after all they take up 2/3 of your arm). I make sure i work mine often. Skull crusher and pushdowns! Very informative, thank you man ;) What you think of the split template above for my routine?
