your doing curls 3 times a week, but no triceps? and chest 3 times a week? may I ask why? and why are you working out 6 days a week?....................any progress is good progress.........but your work out week seems long. I know you want results and results fast.....but you need more rest.

well its an ok work out, but your neglecting several muscles.........traps,delts,tris, hamstrings, calves.And overworking chest, I suggest if your just starting, 4 days a week lifting no more, if your in sports activities 3 days a week.

Well Im not into any league sports, sometimes I play basketball and football with friends every so often. I just started taking up running 2 weeks ago 4 cardio on my days off. I went to this website and are gonna try some traps, and tris. exersices. I really dont have to much leg equipment to work with every thing I have is at my house. I have a bench, db's, curl bar, and a deadlift bar. So leg exercises are limited. Im just trying to get stronger I would like to get pretty big, not real lean like a bodybuilder. Thanks

u dont need to workout 6 times a week, pro's are doing it, u arent a pro, and ur drug free, so workout 4 times a week, or 3 times, thats enough, your body need's time to rest, so give it to him...some parts u do, u do to many times a week, your back and the big muscle groups should be trained 1 time a week, by high intensity, other's, like biceps 2 times, by the way, u train your biceps also when u train your back, and triceps when u do chest, so watch this..
