Do you actually write all these articles or do you just copy and paste?

Leachy, it would have looked better if it was trimmed down to these:

1. Squats

2. D/bell bench press on a 30 degree incline or decline.

3. Dead lifts

4. D/bell bent over rows

5. Military press

And if you can't help yourself...

6. Barbell curls.

The above done for a solid 6 months 3 days a week at 3 x 8-12. Add to that an attitude of full focus and surround yourself with positive people and don't forget to ask questions.

I know what your case is and in 6 months you should add no less than 10kg onto your frame and go beyond 70kg without a hitch.

PS: Leachy, as you gain more experience, you'd be able to distinguish between what looks good and what is good.

Fadi.

this is so important. if u surround urself in ppl who bag u out for going to gym, who themselves may not go even, or those even who do go, but they constantly bag u out on how u look how much u lift etc, then it really ****s you up. i learnt this. i am slowly making the change to hang out with more positive ppl.

Well after doing weight son and off over the past 30 years and not really gaining that much. I decided its time to get fit and bulk up.

Thanks to Fadi and some other members I have been doing well for the past two months. The last on just weights. I have lost 4 1/2 kgs. Feel heaps better. New diet, thanks to Blake.
Here is my 12 week routine.

WARM UP - WALK/STRETCHES PRE-WORKOUT

3 X 10 40 kgs SQUATS using SQUAT RACK AND BARBEL.

3 X 10 50 kgs BENCH PRESS. (Struggle sometimes)

3 X 10 50 kgs DEAD LIFT

3 X 10 16 kgs ONE ARM DUMBELL ROWS

3 X 10 20 kgs MILITARY DUMBELL PRESS (BEHIND NECK)

I can do more weights on some of the exercises, but was told to increase by 2.5% each week or so.

If you are out there Fadi, I am doing well........................
