Changing Your Routine?? LOST

MasriDoode Posts: 11 Joined: 2005/03/10	2005/04/28, 10:57 AM I have been doing the same routine for a while now, I work my upper body 3 times a week, and biceps/arms 3 times a week. I do about 6 lifts each day I work out. I've been doing the same 6 lifts for about 3 months. Im hearing now I should change my routine. What should I be doing now?? What does it mean to change your routine? I already do like every lift thats for my chest, and just about everyting for bicep.

	2005/04/29, 01:56 AM sounds like to me...you have been doign 2 body parts for 3 months....chest and biceps....which is a very incomplete workout.... you should be working.... quads, hamstrings, calves, adductors, abductors, back(lower bacl, lats, traps, ), biceps, triceps, shoulders,chest,abs, obliques.... As a beginner you should train all these body part with at least 1 set with 6-8 reps for max muscle gains....and do it once or twice a week.... doing chest or biceps 3 times a week is overtraining and a waste of time....
