Death: I'd suggest finishing that tub and then moving to a different profiled protein. I'd suggest a Whey protein for Post Workout without a doubt. I also think you are overpaying ALOT with that protein you are taking now. Look into Gaspari Myofusion or 100% Optimum Nutrition. You get a 5 lb tub for roughly 43 dollars shipped. Whey protein is vital, and the reason that I like Myofusion is that its profile contains not only whey, but CASEIN protein which is slow digesting--definitely would be a good choice for you.
Ground Hog: I have so many routines that I can not even count. I have them all on a spreadsheet in Excel which I keep track of, but there are literally hundreds. My clients do a different routine with different excercises EVERY session...Have to keep the muscles guessin! YOu cant go into the gym and do the same routine every week, change is VITAL.

second everything here. i am a trainer during the summer when i'm not in school. trick the muscle groups. motor and gross. hit everything and don't think twice about skipping a group just because you don't like it. whey opt is amazing. if you really feel like it, creatine mono in its simplest form is the way to go. the added stimulants in most products are unnecessary and for the most part unstudied.
chuck - would you mind pm'ing me? i'd like to see if i can look at your workouts via excel. always learning.
That 100% Optimum Nutrition is the #1 selling item on bodybuilding.com. I'll finish what I have and then switch.
I did that workout, but due to time constraints (I'm working out on my lunch hour), I can't go through it four times. Two times kicked me right in the ass. That is the most I've sweat lifting weights in a long, long time.
Thanks again to SuperChuck and everyone else who replied.

Death: When i lift legs, the workouts usually take me only about a half hour to complete, they really shouldnt take any longer for legs.
If it was me, I am getting Myofusion over Optimum...Myofusion's profile blows ON out of the water trust me...Before you order talk to me I have a coupon code to order it from Bodybuilding dot com...It will get u 10% off

Not a fan at all of these type of fat loss supps. It's one thing taking creatine and protein, but once you start to get into these other things like ephedrine based products and caffeine i think its a whole nother' level. I used to take some pre-workout supps, but I feel they mess too much with your body/head.
What is your figure like in terms of height/weight, that could be a better guide? Also what type of lifestyle could help me better determine things i can tell you? Goals? And by goals I dont mean "lose weight". I mean "Lose X amount of lbs by X date."
If you HAD to take a weight loss supplement i would go with MAN Vaporize.
Great, Great label and overall a GREAT company. I've used their creatine MAN Clout, and I can say it blows the likes of Cell-Tech and these BIG name companies out of the water.
Don't read too much into bestsellers on BB.com and other sites, the companies that are the best sellers are the companies who can AFFORD to pay for advertising and hire all the big name bodybuilders.
Shoot all the questions you want, grabbing a bowl of Ice cream and gonna watch the closing minutes of this Broncos game out here in Denver
Right now, I'm 5'11 and 228.5. When I reapplied myself and started busting my ass in the gym last November, I weighed over 260 so I've dropped quite a bit. My problem is that I love to eat.
My goals are to get to 220 by the end of the year because my girlfriend is going to give me $1000 if I make it. This one is in the bag.
My longer term goal is to get to 199 by the end of 2010. If I get there, we are going to China for vacation and my girlfriend will pay for everything.
I'm working out 5-7 times a week, sometimes twice a day when I go to Gold's to swim after work.
Let me also add that my legs are destroyed from that workout. It's awesome. I changed up all my upper body workouts to supersets. I had a good workout today so I'll likely be sore tomorrow.
If you are over 40 years old....yes, you should do more cardio than weight training. Unless you are training for a body building contest or power lifting doing more cardio only makes sense.
I run 40-60 miles per week year round, getting into the 70's at peak training. I'm 5'11 and 160-170 year round. During a marathon cycle I'll get into the low 160's and after the cycle I get into the high 160's. I'm 39 years old.
It's not rocket science. Unless you have unreal metabolism....or you don't give a shit about your heart....you shouldn't ignore cardio. I still get in 2-4 days a week of weight training, about 20-40 minutes each.
I'm not suggesting anyone run 40-60 miles per week. But doing 30 minutes a day, 5-7 days a week isn't going to hurt anyone. If your knees don't allow running, find a piece of cardio equipment you can use (elliptical, bike, recumbant bike, etc) and get on it.....

Death: Solid job man! One thing I have learned doing this is that do things in life that you love, and if you love to eat, then damnit EAT! You only live once. You can still have a nice build and eat whatever the hell you want really (to an extent). Try this. Make small adjustements to your diet. Dont cut out pizza, soda, etc whatever your favorite foods are, however DO slightly cut the number of calories that you are eating. If you are eating 5 slices of pizza at a sitting, cut that down to 3, and throw in either a protein shake or some peanuts to fill you up the rest of the way. Instead of going for 3 scoops of ice cream, take two.
No reason to cut out bad food in my opinion, thats what makes life great is that kind of food. My brother ate the SAME food every day for months--all healthy--chicken breasts, veggies, etc...Thats good to eat, but the hell if im not gonna splurge haha.
The splits I use with my clients go like this:
Monday-Chest
Tuesday-Back
Weds-Shoulders
Thurs-Legs
Frid-Gunshow (Bi's/Tri's)
If you cant work out 5 days per week, cut it down to three or 4 and combine shoulders/back day, etc...
I have countless, countless workouts for each bodypart on upperbody day, so if you want to give one a try let me know and I'll put together something nice.
P.S. you do alot of investing?
Coach: I disagree more cardio than weight training when over 40. Why? What evidence supports this? The way my clients train they burn ALOT more Calories with weight training and how its set up compared to cardio. I believe the only true way to do Cardio is doing HIIT.....Simply hopping on a machine and doing "Cardio" won't get you the full benefits, because with no strict cardio program you wont push yourself to the max--human nature.

6'3 235 goal is to be 220 or less by 6/1/2010
Current rountine is as follows:
Monday Shoulders/calves
Tuesday Back/Biceps
Wednesday Chest/Tris
Thursday Legs (usually every other week, due to softball night)
Fri/Sat/Sun usually skip everything.
Reps are usually 8-12 and 3-4 sets. Usually do a light weight high rep quickly after the 3/4 set. Most body parts are 3-4 exercises.
If you could only hit the weights mon/tues/wed how would you organize your workouts? What splits/rep #/ # exercises to reach my goal.
Also how many days of cardio? Also should I focus on milage or sprinting? Cardio will have to be done 1st thing in the morning...
Thanks for your input.
