2. Bent Over Upright Barbell Rows (back and traps, a little bis)
http://www.tinajuanfitness.info/exercises/45-DEG-BENT-OVER-upright-ROW.htm
1 warm up set (8-12 reps at 50-60% max)
3-4 sets of 2-6 reps at 80% max
(note, can switch up to dumbells occasionally for a little change up)
7. Shrugs
1 warm up set (8-12 reps at 50-60% max)
3-4 sets of 2-6 reps at 80% max
Done.
8. Strech
2. Squats
1 warm up set (8-12 reps at 50-60% max)
3-4 sets of 2-6 reps at 80% max (use a smith machine if you have no spot, or the
squat machine)
tips: Lift heavier weights at lower reps (between 2-6 reps at 70-80%of your max, 2-4
sets after 1 set of warm up at 50-60% of your max)
Less cardio. More calories. MORE PROTEIN. Protein shake before bed. Protein
shake when you wake up. And protein shake right after you work out. Gallon of
water a day. Some carbs before and after you work out will help. You don't need
your muscles to feel the burn when building mass. You're better off at having them
fail: like on your last rep, your target muscle(s) shake while you try your hardest
to push the last one out. Fine balance between this an injury so be careful and don't
be a hero. Sleep well, this is when your muscles rebuild. Limit alcohol and caffeine
and anything else that is a diuretic.
I had my best results on a 4 day work out. Upper body day 1, lower body day 2, rest
day 3. Upper body day 4, Lower day 5, rest weekends. Continue supplementing
even on days you don't work out. On your first two days (after you warm up into it)
find your max on each lift.
You will need a spot for these days, and most likely throughout the entire mass
building phase. (On days you don't have a spot there are machines you can use to
mimmick certain motions but you want to stay free weight as much as possible)
To find your 1 rep max, loosen up but don't use too much energy in your warm
up. Start with a weight you feel confident you can easily push without much strain
and do a quick warm up set (6-12 reps depending on how easy) and continuously
add weight to that motion to narrow it down. You need to fail on your last
rep. Sometimes you think you can't hit a certain weight and you surprise
yourself. You just gotta try. Hopefully you don't take too many attempts per
motion to narrow it down. Probably should only need to add weight 3-4 times before
you know your max. Record it for each motion, you'll need this.
Add weight weekly to your 80% max weight until you are doing your sets with your 1
time max weight. If you add weight weekly, in 2 months, you'll probably be repping
your max weight since this is your first mass building routine. Your strength gains will
be unreal this time around, and it's the only time you can be this aggressive with
adding weight.
