Ok, here I have two workout routines for you all to critique. I'm 22 years old, 5'11, 155# with a 14% body fat. I am trying to BULK UP and gain muscle fast!! Here are two routines....please state which routine you would pick for me (intermediate gym-2 yrs into the gym) in order to bulk up and why?

ROUTINE 1 (trains each muscle 1x a week with the exception of chest, abs and back):

MONDAY- Back/Abs/Biceps

TUESDAY- Chest and Triceps

WEDNESDAY- Cardio/Abs/Stretch

THURSDAY- Shoulders and Back

FRIDAY- Legs and Chest

SATURDAY- Cardio/Abs/Stretch

SUNDAY- Off!

***Please state if you think I may be in danger of overtraining muscle groups with this first routine. Just curious...!!!***

ROUTINE 2 (one muscle a day routine):

MONDAY- Back with Abs training

TUESDAY- Chest

WEDNESDAY- Legs with Abs training

THURSDAY- Shoulders

FRIDAY- Arms (Triceps, Biceps) with Abs training

SATURDAY- Cardio

SUNDAY- Off!

PS I've been very good with eating a healthy diet with 1g of protein of my bodyweight, along with creatine and glutamine and taking whey protein shakes before and after workout. I also rest well enough (7 to 7 1/2 hours each night). I'm tired of being a bit skinny and want to gain pounds and pounds of muscle, but not be a huge bodybuilder. Ideally, I want to have a lean, built physique!

  1. This is good. Remember one of the best and cheapest exercises to do is pull ups and chin ups. Amazing results on your lats. Im like you skinny, but I have put on alot of mass including pull ups and chin ups (wear a rucksack with weights to increase resistance). Good luck and remember to eat fruit and veg aswell.
