Pre workout: 40 grams of whey with water then 10 min stationary bike warmup followed by weights. Post workout (immediately after): ->40g of whey ->bowl of romain lettuce and brocoli OR vegetable soup (celery,tomatoes,potatoes,carrots) 2 hours later 2 can tuna or 30g whey protein shake with water Before bed: 2 scoops(60g) of whey protein with MILK ---------------------------------------------------------- WORKOUT: 10 min cardio warmup before each workout(low rpm) Day 1: Shoulders-Forearms Day 2: Legs & Calves Day 3: Chest Day 4: Rest <- 4 sets and last Day 5: Back set I raise the weight Day 6: Triceps & Biceps by 20 pounds Day 7: Rest Once the rotation is done I start off with the weight I left off at on the last set from the previous week. ----------------------------------------------------------- Will this workout make me lose weigth and gain the big frame I desire. I dont want to just be massive and still have fat. Thank you in advance for any feedback I can get on this. -------------- AndyEm: Fitness Newbie andymoroleafs@hotmail.com
