 |
|
Hey,
I've wasted so much of my life with weights trying to get big, and I've not getting anywhere fast.
Does anybody know of a personal trainer who specialises in building muscle/lifting weights? I'm looking for a guy who knows a lot about nutrition/form etc. and who is probably v.muscular himself (eg. if six foot tall, more than 14 and a half stone)
Any suggestions pls?

I can give you nutrition advice free of charge. I've been bodybuilding for a year and a bit now. Have went from a skinny 10 and a 1/2 stone to a respectable 14 stone 2 pounds. Im also 6ft 2inches. I could also explain form, routines, rep ranges the usual if you want
Cheers |

Thanks that would be great, 4 stone in a year is amazing stuff - keep up the good work
I'd quite like to know:
- yr typical diet on a training day.
-how many sets and reps you do for each exercise
- yr rest period between sets
-what % of yr max lift do u do each set at
ta muchly

I usually go for around the 6-10 rep range but that suits my body type. Im naturally lean so basic power movements in this rep range gives me most benefit. I had to play around with it for a few months to get it right. As for % of lifts i dont bother with all that, I just go into the gym and lift as heavy as I can every time. Balls to the wall training is the way to go. Get in do the job and get out. Simple. I train with a nabba champion and some of the knowledge I have gained from him you couldn't pay for. Most important thing is to enjoy your training and the body will come, just takes patience and consistency. |

Thanks a lot - thats good advice - knowing its worked for somebody else will encourage me to really go to town on the nutritional supplements and eat a lot more protein and a lot less carbs.
Thanks muchly.
Oh one thing - 6-10 reps, but 3 sets for each muscle group? |

Its good to have advice to follow but remember everybody is different and your body will react differently to things. My diet is very high in carbs but Im trying to gain weight and muscle so if you are too then follow my diet as a guideline. If your looking to drop weight then my diet would be no good to you.

Again depends on my mood. Some days I'll hit bench press either flat or incline for 4-5 sets. See how you feel when you step in the gym. listen to your body its usually right. 3 sets minimum is always a good starting point!
I always do 5 sets on barbell rows and squats as they are great mass builders. For things like tricep pushdowns, dumbell curls and cable flyes for chest I usually hit a 10-12 rep range as I usually have already done my mass building exercises and these are just for shape and definition. |
